Itaewon Class 2020

The first few episodes were good. Then, it got very dull, repetitive and predictable. Slow, boring and so stuffed with filler. It would have been better as a 10, maybe 12 episode show.

This is basically a modern retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo, with a few twists.

Also, Soo Ah deserved so much better.

If you want/like neuroatypical characters It's Okay Not to be Okay is a much better choice. If you like evil villains who can hold a grudge, Crash Landing on You is awesome. If you enjoy good romance CLoY, While you Were Sleeping and period drama Love in the Moonlight/Moonlight Drawn by Clouds are infinitely superior and all have great chemistry between the leads. If you love Park Seo Jun, I'd recommend What's Wrong with Secretary Kim a cute romantic comedy.

@abtr I liked Itaewon class much much more than It's okay not to be okay, very different tone, target, etc. I liked also CLoY and While You Were Sleeping so I will check Love in the moonlight and What's wrong.

@jakeukalane Agreed. That's why I only mentioned both shows having neuroatypical characters (haven't come across that many in k-dramas, at least not as many as characters with face blindness lol).

If you like fantasy, also definitely check out Doom at Your Service. And Jirisan is another great show (little to no romance on that one)
