안녕 (Annyeong)! It’s me again, your fangirl-y fellow drama lover/enthusiast, and this time, I've decided to bring another "Save The Date" type of article. This one is focused on the upcoming jTBC/Netflix drama Itaewon Class, which premieres on January 31, 2020.

Itaewon Class is a Korean drama by jTBC/Netflix that follows a man who decides to take revenge for the death of his father and the injustice he faced during his youth. Using his stubbornness, he breaks out into the Itaewon scene by opening up a restaurant intent on bringing down Jang Ga (CEO Dae Hee and his son Geun Won). During this, he meets others that have the same stubbornness as he does, and they set out to make their dreams come true.
