What is Itaewon Class about?

Expelled at sixteen for hitting the untouchable son of a restaurant magnate, then orphaned when that same family's recklessness kills his father, a young man serves his sentence and spends the next decade preparing. His weapon is a cramped bar in Itaewon staffed by outcasts, including a sociopathically gifted manager who wants both the company and him. The plan is simple: outgrow the giant, then buy it.

Short review 4 min read English Itaewon Class

Itaewon Class (2020) Review: A Pub, a Grudge, a Decade

Itaewon Class is a K-drama about an ex-convict who opens a small Seoul pub to take down a food empire, a stirring underdog story that sags in its second half.

Yes. It is a rousing revenge drama with a hero worth rooting for, ideal for viewers who like underdog stories more than romance; expect a looser back half.
