I absolutely feel you. I don't mean to sound like a knowitall but I am on ep 4 and there literally wasn't a single plot twist for me. It's all so predictable, loud and shallow. Once the writer strips the morals of the characters just because they are rich, and therefore they don't care as the rest of us do about a corpse, then it's a game over for me. Nothing to be discovered, relate to or learn from. That's just poor writing.

I literally hate her character the most. All the rich kids follow up their parents but she is acting spoiled and "I want that, give me that, I can't get that it's your fault" for what, jesus

Does it get any better after episode 4? I can't make myself like a single one of the characters apart from the elevator woman, so I really don't care for the story. All of the children characters are so annoying and shallow. I am rooting for the doctor, but now the girl from ep.1 is dead, there's literally no good news on the horizon.
I loved its twin Sky Castle - I could understand why the main characters are behaving like shit, all of them seemed to have much deeper characteristics that could develop and there were reasonable characters that I could cheer for.

So does it? Get better? Or is it roughly the same till the end ?

I actually appreciated her character there as not everyone can be as strong as Ji Ahn was, I could relate to her more. My heart actually hurt every time she was on because you can clearly see her helplessness after she came to fully believe that she is worthless. It just so happened to be a career of an actress but with being paralyzed like that is really hard to continue on to enjoy life. I think in that sense she had it same as Ji Ahn, since Ji Ahn could deal with all the shit that happened but in the end needed the confirmation that she is a good person despite killing somebody.

J-J--JIIIIN~~... happy birthday ♥

I just finished watching it over past 4 days. Came to see If someone is struggling with it to cheer them on. I usually drop the drama also - when by ep 8 I am still thinking about how slow it is and cannot get into the story, no matter what anyone else says, I just don't watch it and put it on hold. Everyone has different taste after all. I do come back to dramas I dropped however and come to love them, like Crash landing on you for example - dropped that one about three times and by now I re-watched it twice and love it. So please do not give up on it completely. It does have great sense of humour throughout the drama, the production on point and I couldn't help but look up the whole history after watching it, loads of characters grabbed my heart. The acting ... ah. I will definitely watch it again some day. So yeah haha, if it bores you now, don't push yourself, but it is definitely one of the best dramas out there. Next to Goblin and My Ajusshi for me.

I actually enjoyed Itaewon class when I rewatched it later on. I never came to understand Soo Ah, but I found Yi Seo quite interesting. Would love it more if none of them ended up with Saeroyi... it lost value as a drama cause it suddenly became romance oriented, for no good reason. Would love it if Yi Seo grew on, something beyond the shown story, it was too of an interesting character to make her just end up with lead male. They portrayed her as really smart, but I am not sure if that would be a decision her character would really make at the end, I expected her to win and leave. idk... just really trying to name why it went downhill in the second half, but not so much to make me stop watching. ♥

Is there any way to watch it with eng subs? Thanks ♥

I mean, it wasn´t sad or anything. It was just poorly done. So..unhappy for me :D . Definitely watch it for Suda though. He is dope.

Ahh mooo~~ what have they done with all the floating cringe moments. I am so sad that they didn’t make it into drama, it has so much potential. Suda as always, spot on. I would watch it all again just for his acting. But the whole story is not made to be squashed into 2 hours. None of the characters had time to evolve. If someone watches it before watching the anime or reading the manga, I think he will be hella confused. The abrupt ending too, why did she had to fly, is what I don’t understand. Honestly props to actors, otherwise honestly not worth watching and I thought I would be last to say that, love the original story line...

I know right? The sudden turn around with Shion.. Oh well, it´s not like I don´t want it to be true so I don´t think about it, haha--

Oh gosh, I get what you mean, it was so annoying, but I watched it on kissasian and there it was translated as "chubs", so it wasn´t in a mean way. Also she wasn´t playing victim about it, so it was kind of refreshing to watch haha. He fell in love with her anyway, it was talked about too, so that was cute about them i guess in the end.

It gets better around fifth episode, definitely try to finish it ♥

I dropped this drama once, now I tried to watch it again just because its so highly rated and now I think it´s one of my favourites. I found her annoying at first and now I see her as super cute. I feel like the male lead helped me a lot to continue, cause they are so natural together. It´s sweet to watch.

Haha, I just came here to write how for the first time I see how lead guy is smart and sweet, sees only one girl the whole series and doesn´t frustrate me. And then I saw your comment. I don´t know, I feel like it depends on preference in characteristics of said person. I loved it, he was really sweet and caring there I feel like. Like I mean who supports his crush in her crush for someone else, I was head over heels for that selfless behaviour. Shi Ho was arghrrr... but I cried when she gave up dancing, that was one great scene right there. ♥

Still no english subtitles, anyone? -.-
