Somewhere over the rainbow
About Work&Food with a fine Sprinkle of Romance
This drama was short and oh so sweet.It follows the story of three people, settling in with their work (or the lack of thereof) and the importance of food. It's not so much about the cooking process, but more about the importance of eating and kinda the memories we make with it?
One thing is for sure, everything in this drama looked so delicious!
This drama has a healthy dose of romance as well, and it kept me enganged till the end. The casting was perfect. Being already a fan of both Ha Seok Jin and Go Won Hee, I have to say I was delighted to see, they met up again for a drama and they delievered this time as well!! Perfect chemistry and I was so much loving their interactions.
This drama is perfect to binge-watch if you want to watch a slice-of-life with yummy food and a good romance.

Powerful!
Where do I start? This drama was just mind blowing and this is coming from a person who has little to no knowledge about financing and banking. But I picked it up since the poster looked pretty promising.
Story: Well the story Is quite complicated to be honest and I am not the right person to comment on it since I have no knowledge about financing and stuff. Nonetheless I was still able to follow the story and understand all the important events that took place.
Characters: That is the main strong point of the drama. Even though I actually thought of giving this drama an 8 because of the story, I couldn’t because the characters were written very realistic and humane. I especially loved the female character, since it’s very hard to find such a strong female character that actually contributes to the story and isn’t just deemed as a love interest of two guys. I really loved her and of course Eugene Han. A bit more romance would just have been perfect. The actors were all perfect and their performances were outstanding!
OST: Perfect. I usually don’t really care about the OSTs but here it definitely added to the whole mood of the drama and fitted it perfectly!
Another thing: The camera work was just fabulous!!
So all in all: This drama is now one of my favorites!

The story:
Very well written! Each and every character had its own backstory, and I am usually the one who skips those scenes because they just feel useless and not contributing to the story at all. But not here. Never have I ever loved the supporting cast that much (Looney I love you!). My only little critic point would be the huge age gap between the ML and FL, but seriously it didnt bother me that much by the end.
The acting:
There is seriously no flaw. Everyone gave their best.
Music: I dont really give that much importance to the OST, so its a neutral rating
Rewatch value: I never rewatch, but I might rewatch this one haha

Something fresh and real
This is my first review and more for my entertainment :)Itaewon Class, while having a pretty common story, manages to capture the attention of its audience, why you ask? Because of the characters, and the cast that portrayed its characters so beautifully.
Humans are neither good nor bad (sadly, we find that concept very often in dramas though : "the good guy" aka hero, "the bad guy" aka villian, and the "well-mannered" female lead) and I think this drama perfectly captured that.
Here we have something different. Even the "bad guy" was not entirely bad. His actions were not justified, but they kind of made sense (to me at least). The female lead, that many people here even called "Bitch", is someone with antisocial tendencies, and she knows it. Sometimes I loved her actions and her decisions, and sometimes I was disappointed. And by dissapointed I dont mean, that I am blaming the writer for not writing a more "morally acceptable" character, but more in the sense, that she did something, that was probably not the nicest thing to do, but it is part of her "nature".
I think the cast did a great great job! I could probably write pages about every single character, and what i found intriguing and what could have been better about them.
