I'm really surprised by how divisive this show seems to be - based on the reviews it looks like people either hated it or loved it. I fell into the love it category (obviously). Interesting characters and a revenge plot line were the heart of this show, with a subplot of romance that people also either loved or hated. I understand that people don't want to waste their time on a show they won't like, so I would probably advise "on-the-fence" viewers that if you don't like Yi-Seo's character from the get-go (I personally loved her), I feel like you won't like this show (based on the other reviews I feel that her character is the perfect benchmark to determine whether or not to keep watching).

A small detail that I really loved and just have to point out was the symbolic use of hairstyles in this show. Also this is hella progressive for a KDrama - I loved how they brought up big issues like racism and trans-phobia. It was refreshing since most KDrama's definitely feel like they can be stuck in that awkward 90's phase of mentioning progressive issues in a way that is funny-offensive (think Friends).

Itaewon Class was such a great binge-watch, you can't help but want to know how it all turns out, and it has so many "yell at the screen moments" that make it truly enjoyable to watch. I did think that towards the end, the choices of some characters felt a bit melodramatic, but this didn't take away from my enjoyment at all. Definitely worth a watch!

The series started with great character introduction and it continued for the next episodes. The Acting, Writing, Most importantly the OST was brilliant for this drama till Ep.12 and Then The writers decided to pull Game of thrones. The Ending was so bad that I cursed myself for liking this drama. Most cringe things happen from time to time you will start hating the drama. So, I guess this deserves all the hype and positive reviews for the first 12 eps and the writers made a fool out of the viewers by giving one of the worst endings.

Finished with the 6 available episodes and have to say this one is different than any KD I've seen, at first it got my attention and was interesting figured it would fad out somewhat like most but it builds with every show not that predictable plenty of surprises some good humor but not a romcom.Its a 10 so far nothing more i can as for a KD,give it at least 4 episodes and the claws come out after that men and women. Through episode 11 now and nobody can screw up a great series and a good mood like Korean writers, come on people cruel behavior from your main character isn't how you grow a audience and i see for the first time this last show had a lower rating then the previous one. Just finished it they actually nailed the final episode so ill say this is a great series and you should watch it.good job

Da-mi Kim is doing very well. I know her from the Witch. She did a very good performance. I love the way she looks at and smile. That's really cute. I want to see more of her. She is amazing. She is very new in the industry but she is really awesome. Because of her I rate 10/10

This k-drama is gripping and touching. The performances of the four lead actors are excellent. Park Seo-Joon is magnetic and he effortlessly expresses a wide-array of emotions. Kim Da-Mi is totally convincing in her role. Highly recommended.

A very heart rendering drama that grows on you. Park saroyis character deserves appreciation.

Korean. Drama at its best So good I am addicted And I am a kiwi

I enjoyed this series quite a lot. I don't usually like k-dramas because the romance is extremely slow-burn and the drama is too over the top, like in telenovelas. What's different with this one is that the focus is not on the romance. It has a captivating story that will keep you wanting to see it through to the end.

Sadly, some characters are very annoying and the events get a little too ridiculous in some of the last episodes, which almost made me lose interest... but, trust me, it's worth watching till the end just because the main conflict's resolution is very satisfying. It will not disappoint.

As for the main cast, Park Sae Ro Yi comes off as strong and inspiring whenever he's in an important scene; the rest of the time, he could be replaced for a wooden plank and we wouldn't notice. Oh Soo Ah's motivations and feelings are confusing and Yi Seo can be really annoying at times. It looked like they tried to make us feel some empathy for Geun Won and I thought he would receive some character depth, but they completely ruin it in the end. All of my praise goes to Yoo Jae-Myung who made a great job as Jang Dae Hee, the main villain; ruthless and dignified but with clear motivations and foreseeable weaknesses. Without him, the series would have probably been a flop.

I dropped a couple points because of the problems mentioned above, but the series has just enough jaw-dropping moments to make up for it and make it watchable. Plus, the OST was the best part of it. Ha Hyun Woo's voice is amazing, and his theme "Diamond/Stone Block" along with Gaho's "Start Over" are definitely going into my playlist. Worth a watch even if you don't like K-drama.

The show starts very strong. Then after 7 or 8 episodes I lost my interest. Why? Story drags on and on. You can skip and skip and still knows what is going on. Cliche and predictable plots. And I kinda expect more story on how the protagonist develops his business (my fault). Turn out they are more focus on his revenge, and the business parts are lost in those skipped years. Lastly, cheesy romance.

I've watched thousands of K-drama since I was a kid. This K-drama is phenomenal, I don't think I've seen so many GREAT actors in one show. Their emotions and rationality, the message, everything was perfect. Describing how amazing this show was is ineffable. This is unlike any K-drama with whirlpool of misunderstandings-this touches reality. Many messages and significance with Korean culture was depicted as well! Try it for yourself.

I had to add my review after I read a few awfully negative reviews of #ItaewonClass I decided to watch this show because I liked PSJ in What is a Wrong With Secretary Kim and I'm thrilled I did!! He was awesome in this series! He is a great actor! I loved the themes on this series, and most of all, the gutsy performance of Kim Da Mi. Her Yi-Seo is epic. She shines!! Finally! A woman who saves the day!!!! This is a great show! Watch it! And don't get distracted by those who think otherwise!!!

I was disappointed by the love story. Other than that really a brilliant show with great characters, amazing acting skills and a very entertaining storyline!

The first 2 episodes gave me chills. Beautiful direction with a strong script and cast uptil now.

Review By Kamal K

Itaewon Class was an emotional ride with an especially promising start. Just after the first two episodes, I felt immensely attached to the main character, Park Saeroyi, and was looking forward to following him on his journey. Throughout the 16 episodes, I definitely learned a lot from his hardwork and values. Park Seo Joon did a phenomenal job with his character and left me in absolute awe. Whether it may be understanding the beauty of life or being reminded the importance of hardwork; I was thankful to be able to get to know and learn from Park Saeroyi.

However, apart from Park Saeroyi, I did have a few complaints for the other characters. Some characters were especially annoying, and lacked development. I did like that the drama showcased imperfect characters, but it also sometimes excused the ignorant behaviour of these characters - almost making it seem that such behaviour was appropriate to viewers. Some characters were especially inconsistent, and just seemed random. This switch was really annoying to see because it didn't make sense. I think these characters had a lot of potential to really compliment the story, but the writer just changed them randomly in order to make Park Saeroyi look good. I wish the side characters had contributed a little more to the overall plot but unfortunately we were unable to see that as viewers.

I was disappointed with the last two episodes as I felt that there were unnecessary additions to the plot. However, the ending was still quite nice and most questions were answered.

The OSTs were beautiful, and I know I will play them countless times in the future!

Overall, this was definitely a meaningful and enjoyable watch.

Fantastic acting...beautiful screenplay.. just wow..

" Itaewon Class " had a strong start but it didn't keep up with the momentum.

The main problem with the drama was the pace. The skipping forward years in the future prevented the characters from having any character development and it just didn't help the romance at all. Especially the 14th episode was just bad, as it felt like they were trying to present the current situation of the characters in a fast and furious way, editing scene after scene and just blurting out that the main character now loves this girl, out of the blue, but that's that. No explanation was provided for their actions, no background and those four years in the future seemed like they four empty years (I mean even the flashbacks that the male lead was experiencing were from four years ago or of the same day, like nothing happened in those four years). Another factor that didn't really help with the love story was that the couple didn't have chemistry. They didn't have any solid heart-racing moment either. So, them getting together was just too random and forceful.

Finally, the characters remained the same as they were presented at the beginning of the drama. We knew the bad guys were bad and that didn't really change, although, the son did have some potential to demonstrate why he was the monster he turned out to be, a potential that was never really properly explored. The big boss and enemy of the male lead felt also more like a promise of a bad character after all. He sure was mean to the main character and seriously unlikable, but, in the end, his actions were left in the behind the scenes grey area. The main character, in addition, showed zero development. He even got a bit boring after a while and felt a bit too bland in others.

Now, for the good part of the drama. The beginning was just perfect. If you like melodrama, like I do, where the main character hits bottom and gets unfairly treated in order to stand up to his own two feet again and take matters into his own hands, then you are going to love the first half of the drama. The revenge plot was very satisfying as well, with a solid ending that was nicely presented. Though, it would have been nice if they showed how they actually managed to succeed, as the first part of the drama had focused on the struggles of them setting off. Another part of the drama that was pretty good was the characters. The members of the crew were unique and the drama didn't shy off from issues like racism and gender identity. So, it was refreshing to see those elements added in the plot. The female leads were delightful too. They were strong women, the one beautiful but a tragic character, and the other young, fearless, reckless and somehow, likable. Sure, she did some questionable things, but she was young and just too full of herself, so it was nice to see how the others helped her realize that her attitude wasn't always right and to grow up. I've also seen some other viewers not really liking her looks. Sure, she isn't the classic beauty, but, for her character, who was cool and interesting, I think she was just perfect. Finally, the OST was solid.

So, overall, six out of ten.

The first time I watched this show I didn't reviewed it but this second time around I will.

It was one of my first kdramas and I had such an amazing memory of the watch and this time I got to analyze more in depth everything.

I completely understand that the script of this series with this magnitude of big picture revenge plot is extremely fantastic in the sense of not realistic in real life but if you put that aside you will enjoy this very very much.

If the only objective of a series is to entertain this show will absolutely fulfill your needs. And it will do so magnificently.

Even though it takes place in a vast range of years( 15) it won't ever feel slow or dragging and it is just so exciting and filled with events and twists.

My favorite part about this show has to be the complexity of its characters. As soon as you meet a character you will start going to a journey of self discovery and development and it's just so fascinating to watch.

There's many layers to them and I love the fact that some of them explore the evil nature of humanity and admits and accepts that not everyone is 100% good and you are allowed to be evil if someone deserves it.

The one I enjoyed the most was Jo Yo-seo ( Kim Da mi) and has to be one of the most badass female characters of all time.

She is just tender and sensitive, but also selfish and cruel and so so passionately fierce and driven.

Loved her and hated her and it was just so cool.

This series it has all that you need to understand korean values and get to know their culture a bit and it's just so interesting, it also has one of the most satisfying endings you will encounter, I recommend it a lot!!!!

You have Principle? Please watch this if you believe u are one of the kind. You must echo this drama definitely. The romance line is also charming In this drama but the revenge part is the core. Sadly the ending not good enough and too many flash back to make story longer. The first 9 ep I rate 9 but last 7 drag to 5 only. But the concept of a principle young man just make me feel who will do this in reality... probably none. Interesting to watch at the beginning.

The drama starts really amazingly but toward the end, i just passed the scenes and i was still able to predict anything. to sum up: great start boring end

I know a lot of people felt let down after a few episodes. I'm not one of them. I've been watching KD for a year now, non stop, and this show is the one that ousts them all out of my heart (almost all of them).

I kept avoiding it because (not proud of this) Park Seo Joon looked unbearably unattractive to me (that was before Hwarang ) and the trailers were poorly chosen. But from the moment I started, there wasn't an episode without me pausing to think, gosh this is good!

Yeah, this story has been told many times before. Not usually my taste, by the way. And yet I liked every single bit of it. Every character, every villain, every move, every reaction, let alone, the acting, scenery, pace (except for the last episode: admitedly, that one was dragged out beyond my tolerance).

PSJ is incredibly versatile in this role. And he manages to be handsome with that awful haircut. Even Park Bo Gum (cameo) couldn't catch my eye.

The love story was boring? Although I thought it impossible, I swear I spent nights thinking of alternative endings were Seoroyi would chose Yi-Seo at some point. Like a fool, I begged with hands and knees for them to end up togheter. Was my wish granted?

Of course, there was the whole gay-transgender-black thing, that will make you throw up after watching so many western shows. You'd think they just forgot to add a disabled person. But this is Korea, man! They dare show a black guy, a Korean black guy at that! There were scenes with people touching him, holding his hands, hugging him!! This does not happen in KD land! This is just not done! Racism isn't even considered an issue in Korea because most people don't understand what's wrong with judging people over skin color.

In "Fight For My Way", same PSJ basically says there is no difference between an island natives and monkeys!

I finished this just a few minutes ago, so I'm still experiencing the excitement of the aftermath. Maybe ten stars isn't my final rating. Still. This show is one of the best ever.
