This may be unpopular but I can already see from another review that I can't be the only one thinking it. I have watched every drama Park Seo Joon is in and each one was enjoyable/entertaining/well-acted with mostly likeable/tolerable characters. Movies he has done are also great, he's a good actor. Until Itaewon Class.

12 episodes in, the unlikeable characters have become increasingly irritating to watch, especially Yi Seo. Park Seo Joon is the only one holding this drama and even then his character this time is naive and so idealistic it's eye-roll worthy. I find myself rooting for evil Jangga boss and his sons instead, that's how irritating the protagonists are. Too bad, I really want to like this drama because anything with PSJ is usually good.

Not sure if I will even finish watching, at 12 episodes with just 4 more to go I'd probably power through just to conclude and be glad that it ends, unlike other dramas which has left me sad that it ends.

Sadly, this is nowhere near as enjoyable as Crash Landing on You.
