Itaewon Keullasseu

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

I was really impressed with the acting and pace until the last 2 episodes when I felt it lost its way, I have also preferred a different ending with the love triangle too. Overall worth a watch but I believe a lot of reviewers who gave it 10 wished they had watched the entire series before being so generous.

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.

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.
