Itaewon Class

Itaewon Class is an engaging revenge epic set in an irrational world of capitalism and untouchable institutions. This K-drama revolves around Park Saeroyi, a young man who loses his father to a tragic accident and seeks vengeance for his death caused by the heir of Jang Ga Group, a restaurant franchise giant. 

In a not-so-surprising turn of events, Park Saeroyi lands himself in prison and returns a few years later to open his own restaurant and begin his rise to the pinnacle of the corporate world to carry out his revenge. Now you may call it corny, but tales about standing up to a corporate biggie will never get old. 

We must also applaud Itaewon Class’s inclusion of a transgender woman, biracial waiter, ex-gangster, and  sociopath – all rare characters in the K-drama sphere. Itaewon Class is jampacked with addictive plot twists, fun rebellions against social conventions, and a healthy helping of romance.
