Watch it for how to value the time and what can you do with it.
This is fantastic most heart warming , tear jerking , motivating drama. I have had minimum of hundred times emotional tears hearing the dialogues, thats how powerful they made the performance and conversations to be.The choices ML makes and explanations he gives really a eye opener for me that made me wonder as a dilemma what would i do in those situations.
one thing which turned out to be super cliche and unbelievable was that the DanBam chef who doesnt even have any culinary experience and had been criticized for making poor dishes, Turned out to be Best pub contest winner against all best pubs in the nations among all other experienced and talented cooks , cmon give me a break .
Eventhough i was unsure how to feel about the Soo Ah character and most times i even felt bitter and kinda hated her, I would have still preferred if she and the ML got together at the end , which would be much more satisfying since he has waited and maintained celibacy for 15+ years in her life for him.
YI soo although she made a good performances and been a vital part of the success , the chemistry was really lacking between the ML and eventhough i felt they should be lovers in the beginning, in the end my mind changed and i was rooting for Soo Ah.
it was literally the title of the drama and the plot summary had made me put this on hold for 3 years from watching even though i knew this drama is a huge success.
Anyways i am glad i watched this and totally a worth a watch just for how Good they portrayed the ML role and stood up for Goodness in the world.

This Changed my Perspective on Life
This show has changed my perspective on life. Never have I watched a show and felt truly changed after watching it, but Itaewon Class achieved that for me. Yes, this story is about revenge, but it's more than that, it's a story about a guy who has a goal and believes in it so strongly, that he will do anything in his power to achieve it. And while this premise is expected of a revenge tale, he works toward his goal by creating strong bonds of trust, friendship, reliability, and a sprinkle of stubbornness.He is able to build and care for a community of friends who gather around him and support him because he returns the same care and consideration to them. He aspires for them to be better while also trusting their competence to improve. He recognizes a value in people who would otherwise be outcasted. And in that recognition, he is set so far apart from character leads in other K Dramas, and in TV in general.
He not once deviates from his ideals, values, and core essence. He, as a character is written to be very strong and focused. And Park Seo-Joon's portrayal is powerful, emotional, and real. He even inspires me to want to believe in him. I've watched so many revenge plot shows and I have never wanted a character to win as badly as I wanted him to. You can clearly tell he is a genuine character who deserves the validation of overcoming an enemy who did nothing but attempt to destroy his life. The pain he endured repeatedly was layered throughout and built up to a satisfying turning point for Sae-ro-yi in the 15th episode. The portrayal of Park Sae-ro-yi was heartfelt, emotional, and quite inspiring. That he was willing to study his opponent's success, compliment his rival's competency, and even show respect under fire...Park Sae-ro-yi is a world-class character with a heart of gold.
Jo Yi-Seo is another character who captured my heart. She stood for Sae-ro-yi from the moment she liked him and became such a great advocate for the ML and the people he loved. I loved her growth, her change from being a rude sociopath to a rude, but lovable manager. Her strength is in the love that she allows to completely change her and inspire her to improve the world around her. Her world, being DanBum pub, with Sae-ro-yi and the rest. She's an unforgettable character.
The cast works very together, great chemistry all around. The acting was convincing as well. I often found myself stressed, worried about what would happen next!
This is my first review I've left, but this show moved me so much, I needed to write this. I want to see more kdramas follow in their footsteps. .

Acting/Cast: Of course the cast and their acting was top-notch and I'm glad that they touched on topics like racism in Korea with the inclusion of Toni (Chris Lyon/Ryan), as well as LGBTQ-related things.
Music: It was good, not the usual set of soft/sad/melo/ballad type of songs. My top 3: Diamond - Ha Hyun Woo, Sweet Night - V, and Start Over - Gaho.
Rewatch Value: I don't like rewatching dramas in general, to be more specific, I simply can't so it's more of a score to help me get the average overall score.

Something fresh and real
This is my first review and more for my entertainment :)Itaewon Class, while having a pretty common story, manages to capture the attention of its audience, why you ask? Because of the characters, and the cast that portrayed its characters so beautifully.
Humans are neither good nor bad (sadly, we find that concept very often in dramas though : "the good guy" aka hero, "the bad guy" aka villian, and the "well-mannered" female lead) and I think this drama perfectly captured that.
Here we have something different. Even the "bad guy" was not entirely bad. His actions were not justified, but they kind of made sense (to me at least). The female lead, that many people here even called "Bitch", is someone with antisocial tendencies, and she knows it. Sometimes I loved her actions and her decisions, and sometimes I was disappointed. And by dissapointed I dont mean, that I am blaming the writer for not writing a more "morally acceptable" character, but more in the sense, that she did something, that was probably not the nicest thing to do, but it is part of her "nature".
I think the cast did a great great job! I could probably write pages about every single character, and what i found intriguing and what could have been better about them.

S O L I D P E R F E C T I O N !!!
WOW! Just WOW! I finished Itaewon Class just now , weeks after its last episode aired worldwide. I know I'm late to join the party but I'm grateful I watched this one and I won't skip my chance to write a good review here and spread the words about how good this drama is. Gosh! This drama is on another level! It's mind blowing! It's a solid perfection!I'm seriously in awe and losing my words. I'm speechless! I don't know what to write here because right now, there's too much good things in my brain waiting to be poured in this review. This drama is 180 degrees different, comparing to any K-drama nowadays. It's nothing about lovey dovey relationship or cutie pie story. It's all about something real: fighting hard and be determined while achieving your goals!
The casts in this drama are amazing. Park Sae-ro-yi is the man of his words. He had been through sickest and darkest hell but still standing strong until he finally achieves his goal in the end. Jo Si-yeo is the real deal, the badass! She's the real definition of fierce. Her confident is what makes her very rare and precious. She's genius, has nothing to afraid and exactly knows what she wants in life.
To me, there's not many movies or dramas which can change my life and give me new perspective after watching them. But Itaewon Class is seriously a game changer. Please tell me, how often you watch a movie or drama which successfully boosting your spirit at their ends? When you find one, it feels so so so good and somehow, satisfying!
To sum up my review, I will simply put: Itaewon Class makes me wanna try at life again.

Las actuaciones no podían haber estado mejor defendidas ya que el reparto estaba maravillosamente escogido.
El argumento está basado en un webtoon muy interesante y en cuya trama se defienden unos valores que ojalá tuviéramos más presentes en nuestras vidas
Por otra parte, la OST ha sido insuperable y la recordaré durante mucho tiempo
Todo el mundo debería ver esta serie. Puede que no enganche desde el primer capítulo, pero antes de llegar al tercero ya estás deseando que todo le vaya bien al protagonista.
Al final he tardado dos días en acabarla y para mí ha sido la mejor serie que he visto en lo que llevamos de 2020

There are a few key differences though:
1. The character of the male main lead - a very morally upright person that "does what he believes in". This may lead to socially indifferent situations, some logically questionable decisions, and also some superbly heroic ones, and while it isn't necessary different from a lot of main chacters in dramas today, the intricacies in his character development, and the way its acted out is superb to say the least.
2. The character of the female main lead - a exceptionally smart and good looking girl who may seem socially cold, her character is not something you would often see, especially in Korean dramas where they would simply be there just for emotional support.
The first half of the drama was exceptional, beautifully directed and shot. The pacing was on point, along with the character development of the team, but then, as with a lot of successful Korean dramas, it got popular, started getting littered with product placement, and the effort, character development, and everything that made it great got lost with it.
TLDR: The writing and key plot points were very clever and well thought out, and I'll be sure to give the webtoon and any of his future works a look. But the lack of execution from direction and production towards the second half of the drama was disappointing to say the least.

Firstly, acting is superb and either of the male or female leads are specially great and bring forward their persona completely, either in their facial expressions or their dialog they build characters that the viewers can connect with. The male lead is a very talented and known actor that does not need much introduction but what surprised me was the acting of the female lead. It was breathtaking. The personality of the female lead and her acting is so strong that in the most scenes her role feels more important to me than the male lead. Sometimes the acting of an actor or actress is so natural that you feel like they were born to take that role and no one will be able to do better; this was one of those times.
secondly, direction is good and the flow of the story is always appealing.
thirdly, music complements the dialog and events completely. Specially in important scenes music is like a third dialog that helps transfer more emotions and meaning and completes the scene.
As for the rewatch value I would say definitely and without doubt. Actually I believe this drama is gonna be one of the classics in a few years.
The only complaint that I have about the drama is the logic problems in the story. maybe it is a problem with the webtoon and not the drama itself, but never the less it exists. Some events seem too far-fetched to occur in real life which make the story feel like a fantasy and something that is never gonna happen. I'm specially talking about the phase of development for the male lead and his teem. Another matter is that in some specially important scenes, the reaction of the characters to someone or some events are unrealistic and sometimes too strong, it seems that they react in this way just to make story move forward and make something -usually romantic- happen between the characters.

What can i say about this drama?For one i absolutely loved it. For me i literally couldn't find a fault in it. This drama is a breath of fresh air. So unlike other dramas. It tackles so many issues of modern day problems. Being racism, and the harsh opinions on those who want to live as a different gender. These components are rarely introduced into Korean dramas. And i especially like how they were involved with this drama. The actors were amazing. Park Seo-Joon did a great job playing his character. He was strong, and caring. Never wanting harm to those he loved. And Kim Da-Mi also did a good job in playing her character so badass and protective over the ML. You could easily tell how much she loved him. These main leads were perfect for the role. The whole cast were amazing. The story line was great to. I found it easy to follow without getting bored at all. And with the music as well. It made it so much better, and with some scenes, was very intense lol. This is definitely a drama i would rewatch. I'm sad that it is over because now i don't know what to watch next. For anyone who is thinking about watching this. Don't hesitate. Watch it. You will not regret it. Its soooooo good! And for those who are wondering if this drama has a happy ending... it doesn't.... Nahhh i'm joking. Best ending ever!

Itaewon Class Is Fun But Not Special
As far as Kdramas go, Itaewon Class does nothing to distinguish itself from any other Kdrama that relies on tired tropes, sibling and romantic rivalries, and overarching themes of revenge. Still, the characters are likable enough and the performances are pretty solid and manage to maintain a consistent energy throughout. There's even an attempt to address hot-button issues like racism and transphobia but they seem to resolve too easily and in an unsatisfactory way just to score some quick social justice points. And I'm not sure why Chris Lyon's character, Toni, would be the only staff member at Danbam to be required to learn English. But I did enjoy the cinematography, the fashions, and the overall David v. Goliath vibe of the show.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
this show was really so emotional and pure love
it made me feel warm many times
except few things in it like the timing, it wasn't right during the last episodes in many scenes
such as when (ahn bo hyun) was chasing them with his car (park seo joon) was telling the FL about his feelings
far away from being incorrect time for this confession the car took so long to reach them although it was very short distance
and many other flaws like this during the end
it has also a great messages
like..
*under any circumstances you should never abandon your principles
because once you abandon one time the rest will be easier
*and away from whom you love, even if for long years
only situations & supporting can make you continue loving him or not
what bothered me much.. i felt the ML was senseless many times, he even discovered his feelings too late
and i couldn't feel sympathy at all with (ahn bo hyun) the whole drama although he was victim for his father
and (Nara) was a real selfish, coward B***h
