Itaewon Class deals with some pretty serious issues like classism, poverty, justice, equity, gender identities etc but without trying to hard or feeling forced.
Park Seo Joon does a great job driving the entire cast in an earnest direction of team chemistry whilst addressing some of these heavy issues and giving us great acting in the middle of it all.
Whilst I didn't believe the romantic chemistry between the two leads, by the time the series required me to buy into their love story, I was already a fan of their work and the storyline.
