I was kind of hesitating whether I should watch this but here I am. It starts well and hopes it will end well. I've always liked the acting abilities of Park Seo Jung and wanted to see him in this type of drama as I loved him in Hwarang. But it wasn't what I thought it was. I did not like the ending! In my first review, I gave it an 8 but after I did my research and understood what this drama was about... I changed my review to a 10.

storyline: The storyline has its twists but it is continual in one thought. It is not so much revenge or avenging but for a person to take responsibility for what they have done. I wished everyone even those in corporate or government to take responsibility for what is intentional or not intentional. What I love about this is the diversity of actors and how it brings that diversity onto the screen. What I hate the most is discrimination against a person's skin tone, gender, age, disabilities, weight, height, the poor and middle class, and religion. The awareness is in this drama! I understand a little more as I couldn't stop thinking about this drama. For a minute, I was angered because I thought Park Seo Joon was killed off. That's what I get for not watching Ep 15-16.

I didn't understand and asked myself why Itaewon. Was that all true to what I was watching? I did some research and found this link on youtube. you should watch it which has changed my mind on how I rated it. I understand South Korea a little more. Itaewon is the only place in South Korea where you can feel Freedom and Diversity and that was explained in this drama but not as clear as I wanted. So here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OutGsIwEg5o It's in English so no need for subtitles.

It always comes down to a triangle romance in these dramas but were no females fighting so that is a good thing. I wanted Park Seo Joon's character to end up with Oh Soo Ah. The chemistry was not there for Park Seo Joon and Kim Da Mi. The kiss was there for Park Seo Joon but I'm sorry not for Kim Da Mi.
