Interessante mas...
Itaewon Class tem tudo que eu gosto em um drama, como uma boa história, ação, suspense, comédia sendo que esta está na medida certa, o que eu aprecio , já assistir vários dramas que tinha tudo para ser interessanta mas foram arruinados pele exesso de comédia.Outro fator que me agradou bastante nesta série foi a protagonista feminina Yo Si Seo, ela foi incrivel, foi bem despresivel e infantil as veses porem para mim foi um grande destaque . A personagem foi bem intensa a atriz atuou muito bem interpretando ela. Eu adoro protagonistas femininas inteligentes, determinadas pró ativas e bem vestidas. Quero deixar claro que realmente desprezei a protagonista em boa parte do drama, ela de fato era desagradável mais ainda sim me chamou atenção.
O protagonista masculino foi fraco, bem sem graça, era uma boa pessoa mais não me impactou em nada, parecia uma porta sem expressão, dizia palavras bonitas mais não me convencia; falando nisso outra coisa que não me convenceu foi o romance, o cassal não tinha quimica estavam mais para irmãos do que para um casal, se não tivesse romance seria mais interessante.
Um aspecto admirável foi a amizade e a lealdade mostradas no drama, esse sem sombra de duvida foi o que mais me chamou atenção.
O inicio deste drama foi incrível, digo os 8 primeiros episódios eu realmente me agradaram, eu fiquei grudada na tela e cada vez que acabava um episódio eu queria continuar para saber o desenrolar da história, porém a história foi ficando repetitiva e cansativa para mim, ainda sim interessante mais cansativa, a história da vingança já estava batida e tudo corria em um loop infinito.
Em fim não me arrependi de ter assistido, valeu a pena porém não voltaria a ver, uma vez já basta.

tentaram ser o dorama do ano... será?
Park Seo Joon né mores... minhas expectativas estavam altíssimas, e o inicio do drama realmente foi um lacre, o pobi do park saeroyi só tomava no rabo mas é aquele personagem que a gente torce igual copa do mundo pra dar a volta por cima. O problema começou com a chatice desse triangulo amoroso que meteram no meio, tudo bem é um kdrama tem que ter , poreeem a prota é um saco! não consegui ter empatia nem um segundo com ela, quiseram fazer uma vibe girl boss acabaram criando uma chata!!!! o romance não foi quase nada desenvolvido então ficou aquela coisa meio jogada. Dei 8 pq realmente gostei da historia do saeroyi e dos personagens secundários, e as atuações foram um lacre tb! mas acho q não veria de novo.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Se você está procurando um dorama que te faça chorar, é ele, em algumas partes, porém de raiva. Colocaram um triângulo amoroso onde não deveria e perderam a chance de melhorar o fluimento do casal principal.não vale a pena de forma alguma, acho que os únicos pontos positivos são as personalidades em jogo e a história, que se desenvolve depois de forma ruim...
assisti por um edit do tkk e acho que coloquei muitas expectativas, eu veria 10 vezes de tudo bem não ser normal ( tenho muita raivaaa) do que este.
então eu repito, este dorama é apenas para passar o tempo ou para te fazer sentir algo : raiva.

Itaewon Class à primeira vista não possui uma temática tão inovadora assim, mas no decorrer ds história a trama pode até surpreender.
Pautas pouco abordadas como transfobia e racismo, especialmente no mundo dos dramas, e a grande diversidade dos personagens me fizeram comprar esse show logo nos primeiros episódios, afinal, tudo se passa em Itaewon, um lugar famoso por ter pessoas de todos os lugares do mundo.
IC possui um dos clichês mais clássicos: triângulo amoroso, mas ainda assim conseguiu inovar já que, nesse caso, eh "ao contrário" com duas garotas e um garoto o que pode ser até interessante.
Mesmo com tudo isso o drama não me convenceu 100%, especialmente, graças aos personagens que não consiguiram fazer-me envolver por eles como eu estava esperando, mas mesmo que eu não tenha amado os personagens amei o elenco, as atuações são muito boas e as cenas tem uma estética muito linda.
O Sae Royi eh uma pessoa ética e honesta, o que eh ótimo, mas essa característica eh explorada tão excessivamente que cansa. Eu, honestamente, não consegui sentir grande empatia pela Yi Seo, sinceramente, não gostei da personagem que eh egoísta, egocêntrica e não se importa de magoar as pessoas com atos e palavras, o extremo oposto do Sae Royi e não por acaso já que ela se apaixona por ele, ok que ela evolui ao decorrer da história mas mesmo assim não consegui gostar dela. A Soo Ah foi uma personagem que até gostei, ela eh a mais "humana" em relação aos sentimentos o que me fez me envolver um pouco mais pela personagem (não que ela seja perfeita, longe disso na verdade). Os vilões Dae Hee e Geun Won são ótimos vilões e a única certeza que eu tenho eh que eh quase impossível não odia-los.
IC eh um bom drama ainda que o "esqueleto" da história seja clichê, tem uma ost maravilhosa e trata de assuntos pouco explorados nos doramas e realmente vale a pena assistir e torcer muito pro Sae Royi conseguir sua vingança.

Começo é ótimo, depois fica bem fraco
O inicio da série é mto bom, os primeiros 6~7 episódios te prendem, dai em diante fica tudo mto fraco e chato, até que no fim do epi 9 no 10 vem a cereja do bolo. Não faz sentido algum e foi ai que eu larguei.A serie me perdeu no episódio 10, quando a Yi Seo tentou dar uma aula para a diretora da Jangga, que estava lá faz uns 20~30 anos e para o amigo do Park Saeroyi que estudou economia e o caramba, em como vazar o áudio (que outra coisa totalmente idiota da serie, onde o vilão burro conta tudo o que aconteceu no meio de uma lanchonete para uma pessoa que ele acabou de conhecer) seria benéfico para ela e possivelmente fazer com que ela conseguisse os votos dos acionistas. E depois, no mesmo episódio, o presidente Jang simplesmente da um discurso de como NUNCA VIRAREI AS COSTAS PARA A MINHA FAMILIA, CONTRUI A JANGGA PARA A MINHA FAMILIA e 5 minutos depois FOI MEU FILHO QUE FEZ TUDO, ELE É O ASSASSINO. Pode ser explicado o motivo depois? Não sei, mas se sim me responde aqui pq foi o que me fez largar a serie.

Vou começar por dizer qual foi minha primeira impressão ao começar o drama. Eu iniciei após ver pelas redes sociais que havia uma personagem trans, e para um k-drama isso é um tanto incrível, pois poucas vezes vi realmente personagens queers neles. E, mais ainda, entre os personagens principais há um homem negro, e ele não é um estrangeiro. Isso me deu mais vontade de assistir, embora no meio do caminho eu tenha ficado um pouco triste com algumas aceitações meio "empurradas", principalmente por parte da Yi-seo, que até entender realmente que estava sendo escrota, não mediu as palavras hora alguma. Isso me decepcionou um pouco, e ela foi rapidamente de favorita até uma personagem que eu suporto.As atuações, embora sejam muito boas por parte de alguns, sinto que poderiam ser melhores por parte de outros, mas isso não incomodou minha experiência como telespectadora a ponto de dizer que é ruim. No ponto em que estou, o Saeroyi já percebeu que tem sentimentos pela Yi-seo. Isso demorou demaaaaais e eu esperava que ele fosse notando isso ao longo do tempo, e não de repente ao analisar bem sua vida, mas gostei de finalmente terem quebrado o estigma do primeiro amor, afinal, o primeiro amor dele sequer foi tão marcante assim. E além disso, embora eu não julgue a Soo-ah por todas as atitudes que ela tomou, e nem por desejar que ele ficasse em uma posição segura na vida para finalmente "largar o emprego" (isso, na minha opinião, é muito sem noção, mas entendo na medida do possível), ela se mostra muito mais apegada a ele por costume do que apaixonada. Isso não é justo com nenhum deles.

Park Saeroyi você é insuportável.
Tinha tudo pra ser o k-drama do milênio, mas aí o protagonista abriu a boca.Park Saeroyi é homem mais chato, insuportável, militante, zé bucet* , carregado, e bunda mole de toda a história da ficção asiática! Se você, caro leitor(a), o colocou no seu husband/boyfriend material, eu sugiro terapia para tratarmos desses problemas parentais.
Qualquer um dos outros personagens roubam a cena, até a protótipo de Judas (Oh Soo Ah) tira menos a paciência do espectador. Sério, quando você menos esperar, você estará torcendo pelo velho Jagga e seu seus dois filhos, Debi e Loide.
Más brincadeiras a parte, Geun Soo se salva.
Fora isso, Yi Seo é uma personagem ótima, se perdeu um pouco no caminho mas foi relevável, ela carregou o bunda mole favorito nas costas a série toda. Toni e Hyun Yi outras lendas, personagens incríveis com um background promissor, mas foram minimizados para terminar como a cota do discurso progressista do protagonista palestrinha que adora um lugar de fala pra soltar um "ELES TAMBÉM SÃO GENTE, MUDA CORÉIA!".
Diretora Kang, Seung Kwon, Lee Ho Jin, Byung Hun e a filha Hye Won são outros outros personagens necessários, cresceram demais e mereciam tudo por fazerem tudo em seus respectivos papeis.
Já deu pra saber que o cast e as atuações são boas, então não preciso me prolongar.
Ademais, a ost é impecável, conta com WooSung e Crush, então eu já não esperava menos do que FOGO.
Se eu assistiria de novo? Jamais.
Se eu recomendo? Claro, se você gosta de passar raiva, gosta histórias sem muita coerência que tentam mostrar o ideal social de maneira distorcida, vilões frouxos, e também, se tiver cerca de 18 horas da sua vida pra gastar, não vejo motivo pra não ver.

I was drawn to this because the vibe seemed so different from most KDramas, and I really liked that, but Itaewon Class is the kind of drama that I think tries too hard to be cool and relevant. I like that it tackled a few topics like race, gender identity, ageism, and social status, but it also does it in a way that was too corny for me to take seriously. I still want to give it an E for effort because I liked the idea of the diversity and inclusive vibe of Itaewon. What initially drew me in about the story was the revenge plot, which sadly got overshadowed by an annoying love triangle... square... pentagon... which eventually ruined everything for me. The only consistent likable thing for me throughout was Park Seo Joon as Sae Ro Yi.I think Sae Ro Yi is a great character. Watching him navigate epic hardships and relationships with an endearing stubbornness and loyalty was my favorite thing about the show. I've loved Park Seo Joon in so many dramas, he never disappoints, so this drama just solidifies what a great actor I think he is. Surprisingly the one area where he is weakest in this drama is the "romance" aspect, but that's not his fault. From "Witch's Romance" to "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" it's obvious to me that he is a great romantic lead, but the problem here is that the romance plot is the weakest part of this drama. His relationship with Nara as Oh Soo Ah had an initial spark of chemistry but was soon too repetitive, and I thought his relationship with Kim Da Mi as Jo Yi Seo made absolutely no sense! They had no chemistry but seemed to appease some fans so it felt like it was forced into a story that didn't need it.
More than romance this drama focuses on friendship and loyalty. The cast is full of interesting characters who learn to accept and depend on each other with Sae Ro Yi as their guide. I liked the supporting cast in general, even if their acting skills weren't all equal. My favorite performance of the supporting cast was Lee Joo Young as Ma Hyun Yi, and sadly my least favorite was Chris Lyon as Toni (who's Korean was way more impressive than his acting... but I don't speak Korean so that's just a guess lol). I also thought Ahn Bo Hyun was great and consistently unlikeable as Geun Won, and Yoo Jae Myung was epically evil as Jang Dae Hee, and I love epic villains worthy of epic revenge! I can't really say that anyone was bad, but many in the cast were more decent actors than amazing.
The breakout star is clearly meant to be Kim Da Mi as Yi Seo, but she was not my favorite. She's a great actress, and was an interesting character in the beginning, with her sociopath social media savvy persona, but she soon became annoyingly obsessive and childishly whiny. I wanted to root for her being a young empowered and clever female lead character, but instead, she felt needy, self-involved, and just too hard to like at times... most times. The forced love story definitely didn't help me like her character. I guess some people found her devotion cute, but I thought it was creepy. I think people liked her IDGAF attitude, but I found her selfishness irritating, which overshadowed anything I liked about her initially.
That brings me to the plot, which was just messy! It starts out as the motivational story of a pied piper of misfits bringing random people together to create his dream to fulfill his epic plans of revenge, and suddenly focuses instead on a really bad love story. I can't blame the age gap, because the first drama I saw him in was a romance with a huge age gap. I just think the match didn't work and was so awkward to watch no matter how hard they tried to make it a thing. Then evil characters started to be less realistic and more cartoony, and things suddenly resolved and fell into place way too easily. Even though there are many moments I still liked, overall the script is more bad than good. I waited to watch the last 4 episodes because I stopped caring, and the last 2 episodes were so painfully drawn out and dragged so much that I was tempted to drop the drama with only 30 minutes left in the last episode. Even all of the confrontation and fight scenes that the show was building up to were boring to watch.
This has the same Director as " Big", one of the most ridiculously awful dramas I have ever watched, so maybe this turn isn't surprising after all.
Would I watch this again? Obviously not, and I almost wish I would have dropped this sooner, but I was still too invested in Sae Ro Yi and all he went through to give up on this completely. The ending was good about addressing everything that needed to be addressed and had a few moments that I liked but It still was not satisfying enough to make me like this drama as a whole.
Overall, I was excited by the beginning but the thrill didn't last till the end. Yes, there was an overall message that I am not mad at... about friends like family, what real power is, and what really matters in life, but the weak love story, rushed character development, predictable resolutions, and lack of emotional depth didn't execute those themes well enough in the end. It looked visually cool, but the substance felt too immature and unrealistic for me. I wouldn't personally recommend this drama, but I can understand how people can like it more than I did, especially if they liked Kim Da Mi's character a lot. For Park Seo Joon fans it may be worth it to watch even just the beginning, then decide on your own if it's worth your time. Personally, I wish I could edit out whole parts of the drama to make it better, but instead, I will move on to something better while looking forward to the next Park Seo Joon drama instead. It did make me curious about visiting Itaewon when I finally make it to Korea, because they did make it look cool, so I guess that's a good thing too.

However, apart from Park Saeroyi, I did have a few complaints for the other characters. Some characters were especially annoying, and lacked development. I did like that the drama showcased imperfect characters, but it also sometimes excused the ignorant behaviour of these characters - almost making it seem that such behaviour was appropriate to viewers. Some characters were especially inconsistent, and just seemed random. This switch was really annoying to see because it didn't make sense. I think these characters had a lot of potential to really compliment the story, but the writer just changed them randomly in order to make Park Saeroyi look good. I wish the side characters had contributed a little more to the overall plot but unfortunately we were unable to see that as viewers.
The show also became a little slow in the middle, but then quickly picked up its pace later. I was disappointed with the last two episodes as I felt that there were unnecessary additions to the plot. However, the ending was still quite nice and most questions were answered.
Overall, this was definitely a meaningful and enjoyable watch. The reason why this show is receiving such a high rating (from me) despite its flaws is because of the lessons it served. As I saw this show and went about my life, I found myself thinking about Park Saeroyi and the importance of hardwork. Even if it was fiction, I really learned a lot from this drama and was thankful for the insights I gained. In addition, Itaewon class held some especially beautiful scenes that had my heart racing and gave me goosebumps. The OSTs were beautiful, and I know I will play them countless times in the future! Itaewon Class may have been lacking in some areas, but it was still a great show that managed to keep me eagerly waiting for new episodes each week ((:

Is SEO-JOON enough for you to watch a series?
Netflix aired this show WHERE i lived 2 episodes behind Korea - I went from looking forward to fresh episodes (even trying to find the latest episodes online) to completely forgeting there were new ones.The series started out great, the first few episodes were standouts, the problem was it wasnt able to continue the momentum. It felt like the rest of the episodes dragged on that i was wishing the series would just end. It didnt feel like the show is reaching a climax and by the end i was bored.
Id only give this show an overall 7.5 just because of PSJ, he did, after all, acted his ass off in this drama. Yoo Jae Myung is amazing. I feel like Kim Da Mi is far too young for PSJ and to tell honestly, their chemistry a bit lacking. I love Lee Joo Young but why does a real woman play a transgender woman character??? Her beauty is distracting that i find it hard to believe she is a transgender.
Would i reccommend it - if you're a PSJ fan, yes. If not, you can skip it.

This show is fantastic; it's something new. This is among, if not the best, kdrama I have ever watched. Although I do have a few sentiments to share: (1) The show had an extremely strong beginning, however somewhere in the middle, it felt lukewarm. It did pick up again eventually. (2) I almost dropped it out of annoyance towards Yi Seo because of her obsessive tendencies and unnecessarily rude attitude. I had to continuously remind myself that she was sociopathic to rationalize the way that she was acting. One thing I cannot forget, however, is the scene where she kissed Saeroyi without his knowledge. That was creepy and unneeded. I would remove that, if I could. (3) There was a lack of romantic development between Yi Seo and Saeroyi. I wish the build up were shown more gradually and naturally because I never really figured out when Saeroyi started feeling differently. Was Saeroyi already lovestruck when Yi Seo confessed her feelings? If not, then when did he fall inlove? I don't know. I don't know if it was done purposely as romance is not the storyline's focus, but the romance between the two came out forced.Despite what I've said, I absolutely loved watching this. It was a wild ride, and it made me feel so intensely. It isn't surface level. It is above and beyond Saeroyi's relationship with Yi Seo. In fact, it tackles many aspects of being human exceptionally - the importance of bonds, the sturdiness we should possess in hardship, the search for meaning, the effort it takes to abide by our principles, the way that everything else gets clouded in pursuit of something, the effect of upbringing to one's viewpoints, self-interest, dehumanization. Not to mention it also touches societal issues such as racism, bullying, and the scorn that transgenders receive. It's just so well-made and well-executed. Moreover, the casting is simply outstanding, both the protagonists and antagonists are effective. They give full justice to their roles.
All the characters are flawed, and while they are unconventional, they are also substantial. They are oftentimes irritating, self-serving, and unreasonable - but that's what makes them all the more enthralling. While they undoubtedly manifest all these qualities, they continue to move forward, gasping, struggling, improving themselves in their own way, seeking for reasons to continue on, even if their reasons are repugnant, such is life.
The plot encapsulates being human in such a spectacular way, and I truly admire that. You would find yourself disagreeing with plenty of things. You would encounter absurd worldviews. You would question your own morals. And you won't even notice it, but you would find yourself engrossed and attached. The flow, the storytelling, the dialogues, the OSTs - everything is impeccable. The ending was pure satisfaction.
Needless to say, watching this has been a great pleasure to me. Give this show a chance to prove that it deserves the hype.

When I first heard about this upcoming drama I hesitant to watch because there was a lot of hype surrounding the cast, mainly the star Park Seo Joon. I've watched a lot of his work so I didn't understand what the fuss was about. The show had not even begun and I thought it's probably overrated. And it turned out to be true.
I like to highlight all the good points of a drama first least I be accused of bias (which I am half the time) but it's really to acknowledge someone's hard work. A lot of times we dislike dramas and then fall into a rant and I myself am guilty of this on numerous occasions but someone gave their best effort and it might not reach everyone the way they expect but good on them for doing what others could not.
That said what drew me to the show initially was the fact that it was a webtoon turned drama. I'm a big fan of these as they offer more range of expressions for the characters. You get to see them as more. For this drama the acting was top notch, with a special shout out to Kim Da Mi, she gave a phenomenal performance. Park Seo Joon continues to showcase his range and talent.
Another blast is the diversity of the cast. I loved it.
The first 6 episodes were very attention grabbing and I thought maybe I was wrong, the was definitely living up to hype but then it fell into the standard kdrama mold. The storyline was not strong to begin with but if it was told well I wouldn't have minded. It started strong then dragged in the middle then had a sloppy happily ever after ending that made me regret starting the show in the first place.
Park Sae Ro Yi (love the name) character showed almost no growth. He was practically the same from the beginning of the story to the end. The show was a span of fifteen years and it was only after an accident he resolved his feelings about his father and his love interest in a dream. In a show about David fighting goliath, that is how he reached personal growth? Doesn't count in my book.
Next pet peeve was the so called romance. The show wasn't focused on it at all and it should have remained so. It would have been better off without it instead of trying to shove a bunch of intimate scenes in the last three episodes. By this point I didn't care about any of the coupledomes. I was heavily invested in Park Sae Ro Yi's revenge. I wanted him to get his revenge and witness the ensuing fall out but none of that happened.
My Opinion
Sometimes I think the art of storytelling is dying but I know it's just being pressured under the weight of ratings and popularity which is sad. A lot of the dramas today have strong starts or interesting premises but get derailed by trying to win people over and marketing. But i keep patient because every once in a while I strike gold. This wasn't it but it was ok.
