To start off the credit given to the whole team for this masterpiece is not enough. This drama centers around a man who is a clown given an opportunity to take the throne of an ailing king who looks exactly like him. The storyline of this drama is something that would be expected to be common or of normality but the way it was delivered and shaped in such a way to bring forth a masterpiece. To the screen writers who have thought and time to the drama, every word was perfect and in line with each moment, the cinematography in this drama is unbelievable has to be the best I’ve ever had the privilege of watching. The music intensified everything in such a way that every single scene is a breath holder, I held my breath 90% of this drama. And to Yeo Jin Goo who gave a phenomenal performance he has to be one of the best if not the best actors I have ever watched in a drama, the way he mastered dual personalities in the beginning of this artwork being able to bring to life the importance of the scenes to the audience has me lost for words. Why isn’t he in Hollywood? I don’t know but he should be though he’s so talented and I just don’t say that to anyone. This drama was to moving that I couldn’t bring out tears to justify my satisfaction and euphoria for it. If you want to watch this drama don’t even contemplate of stay to read this long ass review go watch it!!! Like NOW i swear you won’t regret any minute or second of these performances. I can’t believe this drama didn’t win anything how? Only God knows????

I love the fact it was aired on NetFlix. It was the perfect environment for it to be enjoyed. I'm a big fan of Kim Soo Hyun; I love her dramas and she was really good in this one. I liked the modern and technological input they had on relationships and on the present world, how this age changes the way people interact and it was a coming of age drama which I always enjoy so overall it was really nice. although some lines were a bit cringe in a sense of 'romantic' lines being said, I felt it was a bit too much, but I do want to see who she ends up with and how that affects her in many ways. if you are looking for a drama with a lot of drama and romance then watch it.

Itaewon class = trivial storyline, but excellent performances. Often times I am impressed by series and films that make me think deeply and discover things I wouldn't have on my own and I believe this drama is one of them. Itaewon class centers around a man who believed in the importance of ideas and values costing him almost everything. throughout his life, his motto and drive were pushed by hate and the strife of revenge and on that path, he discovered something much more.

The storyline as mentioned earlier is quite trivial, I have watched dramas similar if not 98% followed in suit, but the joint work each character and the expression on the smallest performances were what made Itaewon class a very emotional experience. The depiction of first love and its innocence when lost to hardships of life, and how hard work pays off no matter the period in which the hardships are stretched. Small lessons like that made the impact of the drama heavier

Even with little things like the change of looks of the character but the constant physical appearance of Park Saeroyi over the span of 14years showed how everyone changed in character but little of his ideals and goals changed. These little things details made the drama so much more than it already was. A lot of reviews focus on the aspect of how the main lead was made to look good and how unimportant some roles were.

A protagonist is made to appeal to the hearts of viewers and what you take away is up to your palette, but the supporting characters really taught me a lot especially Kwon Nara and Kim Dong Hee who showed growth in character when faced with hardships and how many people prioritize different things In life. Even the characters that addressed a lot of issues that are faced in South Korea like racism and gender rights were also tackled in this film teaching a lot of people valuable lessons.

Not to mention the lovely soundtrack contributed by various artists and the interludes and instrumentals by composers who have a talent for days. I believe when I listen to the soundtrack of a drama of the basis of the context and internalize it, that piece of work is truly great. shout out to Kim Feel and studio curiosity for blessing my ears every day.

I personally learned a lot from this drama and it made me think about what I would have done if I was in any of their places and not to mention Park Bo Gum's cameo. Itaewon Class makes you reflect and have fun at the same time, watch it you won't regret it!

Shin hye sun was phenomenal in this piece, her performance brought life and excitement to the drama. The drama centers around a blind ballerina who has the privilege of seeing again due to the death of someone she loves and encounters a man who is an angel that helps her to love not only others but herself. This drama started out really well not so much as it ended. The storyline is indeed creative and the perspective of the arts not in music but dance was really refreshing. I loved the perspective of the director but the screen writing not so much. The music was good enough but it would have meant so much more to the scenes if it was better. The characters were carefully thought out and brought to life by great actors, but the chemistry was much more expected from the main leads. I really enjoyed this drama and you can to if you watch it!
