Overall good

Itaewon Class started as one thing and finished as something else, which isn't a bad thing at all, but I can't point my finger at what troubles me still.I thought the troublesome thing was Soo Ah. I couldn't stand her whole "I'm the most important person in my life" thing. Ok, you go, girl, I can get behind that. You can put yourself first, and that's perfectly fine by me, though she used Sae Roy loves to have some kind of moral boundaries, and I got kind of annoyed. She redeems herself towards the end. I understood her motivations, but why not be clear about it?Maybe my problem was with Dae Hee and his archetype of a villain. Nobody goes to those lengths just to make a person kneel. I understood the desire he had to be the most powerful person in the room, for real. But people letting and accepting everything was too much.Amazingly enough, Yi Seo was ok. She was always selfish and never hid it from people. Her endgame was Sae Roy. I find it tiresome sometimes, but I understand it, and to be honest, I didn't care that much.The OST is something else. Just perfection! Every music was a match made in heaven. And Taehyung with Sweet Night chef's kiss.

Life is a series of Choices

This show continues to be about choices -- love turned into blind jealousy is toxic to the soul. Guen-Soo can say he did what he did because of what Yi-Seo noted, but, ultimately, he chose to undercut a friend, so blaming his choices on Yi-Seo won’t cut it. All that crap about him not being able to stop is on him, especially since the reason he chose that path was to get her, and he lost so, why continue; it’s beyond YS now. Unfortunately, the Guen-Soo we loved is no longer, there is no coming back for him. Guen-Won is back, and DanBam goes global; everyone seems to have moved on, but the feel of the underlining calm before the storm looms heavily and sooner or later it will explode. I don’t know what I expected, but nothing about Soo Ah changed; it’s strange, but for the first time, I felt pity; for the lonely life choice. Everyone faces tragedies, trials, and obstacles; the way I see it, Soo Ah, the President, Guen+2 are but products of their choices, not victims of their circumstances. I Loved Sae-yo-ri’s closing words, yes please live on. I did not want the episode to end, but alas, another great one!
