Itaewon Class had a very promising start it already got me crying at the first episode. I thought the story was brilliant but unfortunately was not executed so well. What I hated the most was the unrealistic time skips, It was totally OVERUSED and I also hated the romance, this drama did not need a romance to it. Personally I preferred So ah's story more than Yi seo just because I think So ah and Park Sae royi’s relationship goes on a deeper level. For Yi seo her liking him started way too early and all the good she did was literally only in favor of Park Sae royi. If you hate So Ah then you simply don't understand her character, I wish the writer could have reviewed her intentions earlier. The revenge plot was interesting at first although it seemed impossible to destroy Jangga, I was definitely still eager to see how he would go about it but then it started dragging and it became a tiring watch.

The irony is that he did not end up destroying the company but did the latter. I don't know how to feel about that. Kim To ni's story was just so messy like what in the world, next time I see an African in kdrama it should be of a decent role. There was literally little to no character development, the leads had as little chemistry as a mustard seed. I hated how they tried to shove their romance down our throat towards the end. The best thing about this drama is the ost its so good, I still play it. This drama is very different from usual kdramas, it pointed out all the negatives about Korea. Overall it was not too much of a bad watch, if you are gonna watch, watch for Park Seo Joon because he literally carried the show and to me this is his best work (acting wise).
