It was a very good but extremely flawed drama!

I watched Itaewon Class, and although the story isn't exactly original, it was told in a unique and special way. I was initially drawn to the show because of the cast, but what I loved the most was the unique vibe of the characters and the world the writer created. The drama felt so woke that I seriously wondered if it was a Kdrama or a typical American show. It starts out as a motivational story of misfits coming together to fulfill their epic revenge plans, and in the last few episodes, it focuses on romance, which felt a bit forced even though I did enjoy the couple. The villains started as run-of-the-mill entitled characters but became more over-the-top and cartoonish, especially Jang Geun Won. The ending was poorly handled, feeling like things just happened instead of following a coherent narrative flow. The saving grace might be the main character, who is extremely likable, even though at times he felt like a lucky idiot, and I say that with love.
