Itaewon Class Episode 9

Danbam

I love Yi-Seo... Sae-ro-yi and Danbam continue to face issues, be it because of the challenge of a new location or because the President cannot bare for Sae to be successful. The harder the President tries, the stronger Sea seems to come out on the other end, much to his annoyance.The episode clears up how Yeo-Si comes to be in President Jang's office and as expected, he tries to pouch her away from Sae-ro-yi not because he believes in her ability, but because he knows how much it would hurt Sae to lose one of his people. He understands left alone Danbam and Sae can in a few years rule Itaewon and overtake him. I knew Yi-Seo would tell the President off. I just wasn't sure how and I love how she did it, simple and to the point, making him realize he needs more than money or status to lure Sae-ro-yi's people away.The Danbam team gets wind of Jang Ga approaching Yi-Seo, and it scares them, rightfully so, forcing them to evaluate what is important, be it on a business or personal level. I think the highlight of the episode is that Guam won arrogantly thought he would be able to lure Yi-Seo to Jang, thus impress his father and gain his respect. Sadly, he ends up making an even bigger fool of himself; poor guy, nothing seems to go his way no matter how hard he tries. I cannot say enough of how much I love Yi-Seo... I have always been in awe of her, and she continues to keep my interest.
