Itaewon Class - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

Oh my god guys, I can’t believe I’m so late to the game, but Jesus H. Christ - Itaewon Class is...chef’s kiss.

Like

I’m gonna shout it from the rooftops. This show deserves an Emmy - FOR REAL. Like. Wow.

And I’m on episode 3.

🙃

I am a rock

“I am a rock,

I am a rock,

just burn me hot,

I am a rock which does not move,

hit me hard, I am a hard rock,

keep me in deep darkness,

I am a rock with its own brightness,

I refuse the natural law of breaking and turning to ash and rotting,

I am a survivor,

I am a diamond.”

Kdramas I’ve watched ranked from most favorite to least favorite:

!Some spoilers ahead!

1. Vincezo.

What more can I say about this drama except that it’s amazing?

Plot: 10/10, characters: 10/10, scenery: 9/10.

I really like the way the plot played out and the ending (unlike most kdramas, the endings are cliffhangers but this one was kind of complete.) My favorite characters were Cha-young, Mr. Nam, Han Seo, and most definitely Vincenzo. The acting in this show was phenomenal, and may I note that the villains were some of the best acting I’ve seen?

The character that was weird and a little dumb that later turned out to be the villain was freaking smart. I suspected him a bit at first so when he became the villain I wasn’t too surprised but the extremities of his character were beyond my expectations. Every vigilante and villain were amazing. 10/10 once again.

2- Move To Heaven.

This show had me in tears. First episode, too. This show was simply beautiful in so many ways and it made me think about how quickly life can change and how so many things can change in a lifetime. Regret, passion, fear, respect, love, and sorrow are some emotions that I associate with this show. This show made me feel so many waves of emotions. And although I didn’t cry on every episode, it still made me sad and changed my mind about things I had a different point of view on before.

At first I thought Geu- ru was adorable and I really liked him but not just because of the way he acts given his Asperger syndrome, but because his father raised him to be kind and respectful while also learning boundaries. He really becomes a dynamic character because of his changes over time because of his job and the way his life changes after his father passes. He was truly a miracle and a special character and his acting in this role is amazing. Also, Geu- ru’s uncle is a great character too. Although I thought he was so demanding and annoying at first, once we got his backstory it made sense to why he put on a facade to act tough and mean. Later on we got to see his vulnerability and true heart and that he actually cared for the people around him including his lovely nephew, Geu-ru. Also I find him kinda hot but that’s not really important lololol bye.

3. Itaewon Class.

Revenge and resilience are some core words I associated with this drama. Through many ups and downs, hard work, and self control can result in a rightfully earned respect. Our main character Saeroyi, went through some crazy stuff (honestly an understatement) but he learned a lot of lessons and used strong emotions to overcome the many hurdles that life threw at him. I love him FR FR. His hair was actually very iconic too, hehe. I’ve seen people quote it another drama too lol. (I think it was all of us are dead…)

Saeroyi was really the only character I actually liked a lot. Everyone else kinda pissed me off in a way not gonna lie. And I’m not saying that just because he’s the lead actor but because I could relate to him in a few ways and I understand why he did some of the things he did. Long story short, his enemies at Jangga company GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED. F YALL AND YOUR WHOLE COMPANY. DOUBLE MIDDLE FINGERS HAHAHA.

All right, that’s all I feel like talking abt today. Maybe I’ll do another part soon but I have nobody to talk to about these things so I’d rather share them here instead haha.

I just finished this, and I love this scene and this kdrama. Park Seo Joon owns part of my heart now. ❤

Do you like me? No, I love you. What? I didn’t hear you. Say that again. Say what? What you just said.

KDRAMAs THAT MADE ME FEEL SOMETHING

(not in any particular order)

disclaimer: I just started watching kdramas seriously this 2020. This is highly personal.

These dramas are the best, for me at least, and the ones that made me feel the most. 👌🏻

* Crash Landing On You 🏔

- This has been my black whole for kdramas-I went in and I never came back. This drama made me fall in love with kdramas.

- It is funny, romantic and heartwarming at the same time. It showed that sometimes strangers can be more home than your family.

- I loved the second couple just as much as the main.

- This helped me a lot through this year, I went through a hardcore ‘separation anxiety’ when it ended.

Feels like: a sunny day under a tree surrounded by flowers in full bloom 🌸🌺

Romance: so strong that it can light up the whole of North Korea (not my words)

Strengths: everything about this was iconic

Rewatch? : highly likely

These are highly mainstream dramas because I’m a basic b*tch but also since I’ve been reading everybody’s lists before watching (mostly). And if your fave is not in the list, it’s likely that I have not watched it so hit me up 👇🏻. I have TONS still to watch so don’t come at me.

All my Love. 💋

P.S. Yet to watch: Scarlet Heart, Hotel De Luna, Reply Series, etc. ✌🏻

Am I the only person who wants/NEEDS more films/series from Kim Da Mi?! Like she is literally such an amazing and versatile actress and I’m not basing this just off of Itaewon class, she crushed it in The Witch!

She truly has that Star quality about her, and I love her poise and confidence that comes off when you watch bts footage of her!

AND like working with Choi Woo Shik AND Park Seo Joon... like damn girl, you already know she’s running the show.

ALL HAIL QUEEN DA MI
