I am 65 years old and the casting, the music and the well develop writing was spectacular. Korean shows have so much to offer. I watch one, and its great. I watch another and it tops that one. Good and Bad mother was so great, it was consider my best until itweo Class. Excellant. Thank you for writing great movies that cause adults to feel, be emotional and cry and understand life and relationship and life. Thank you. Writing from Los Angeles, A black teacher Naomi Teplow Sep 23 2024 12:17 am Dear Jo Gwang Jin, I just finished watching Itaewon Class twice in a row, and I'm still finding it hard to part from the fascinating characters, atmosphere, story -- everything! What a fantastic story you created! I love mostly how the desire for revenge gradually develops into a desire to love and have a normal, simple life of happiness with the one who knew how to love against all odds. Also, how you gave some hints to why the evil characters were so evil. I could probably write a whole article about why this show is so excellent, but I'll just thank you and the director and actors, and hope to see more of your work. Thanks you so much! Joe McDonnell Nov 24 2022 2:43 am Dear Jo Gwang Jin I'm a 71 year old American guy who loves writing and dramas/stories in particular. I've realized for the last 10 or 15 years that Koreans are the top story tellers of our species, but Itaewon Class tops them all. I was reminded of W. Shakespeare in a couple of dramatic set ups you created. I congratulate you on your talent. Thank you for your exceptional work. I appreciate the whole Itaewon production as well; some of the musical compositions were very powerful too. Thabuse Ndzinisa Sep 28 2022 7:21 pm I wish I could say how much your work on "Existence" touched my heart but I would not be doing it justice. I have read many works and none stick out like this for me. Shane Ilahi Sep 28 2022 9:41 am Such a great story. Thank you for your work in Itaewon class. Keep up the good work! Thank you. Cynthia m Johnson Dec 16 2021 2:07 pm I have two daughters. That poem was awesome. I Want to buy the book. Holly Mar 08 2021 10:12 am I really hope this writer writes for more kdramas in the future. Writing can make or break a show and we were super impressed with the emotion and intelligence conveyed in Itaewon class. It was what kept us hooked! That and the great acting as well. Margaret Dec 17 2020 5:33 pm Loved this drama. Spoke on a lot of very important issues! Suhyun Oct 24 2020 4:50 pm Itaewon Class was so well written. Great job to all the screen writers!!!! Phenomenal dialogue and perfect script. Clear and to the point. Music and cinematography was on point! So proud to be Korean! Great job everyone! Jacques Aug 08 2020 9:02 pm Classy series. Well directed and written. Dialogues were short and direct unlike other few kdrama i've watched. Actors were spectacular and versatile. Highly recommended to my friends and looking forward for another season. Kdrama Addict Jul 15 2020 2:51 pm Itaewon class was very inspiring and motivating,Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us,Good Writing,Good Acting! I have seen it twice and it's still looking very new to me. We look forward to more of your writing❤ Love from Nigeria? nocmore Jun 13 2020 10:15 am i don't understand why ppl want saeroyi to end up with sooah. she helps jangga and did nothing to help saeroyi. She only waiting for years for saeroyi to become successful but yiseo do everything to help saeroyi. Without yiseo, saeroyi won't become successful. like, saeroyi do everything for sooah and yiseo do everything for saeroyi but what about sooah? If should have done something sooner about jangga misdeeds. I think yiseo deserves saeroyi better than sooah do Sorry For My Bad Eng Chereechan Apr 28 2020 5:11 am When you talk about Soo Ah, you are viewing it just as a story. Look at it as a real life scenario. Who do you think deserves more? The one who has given up everything else for the sake of their loved ones or the ones who value their own life more. Chereechan Apr 27 2020 6:27 pm Really a great story. Kudos to the writer. Casting and everything else came together perfectly for this series. Chereechan Apr 27 2020 6:24 pm What I really loved was the depth with which the writer wrote the story. For example: Jo Yi So asks her mom about her love life and she says to her that a person's feelings change based on time, so she got divorced. Next thing she does is to try and make her boss fall in love with her and she tries to do that with all she is got. I think the reason was that he was a man who doesn't simply change his nature overtime. Ruthie Gassner Apr 22 2020 2:10 am Terrific terrific kdrama. In french it is douz points... in English it is 100 points . Live it. Should be a lesson in business administration, life science and models for management- i took the beautiful view of - growing out of agony. Good writing good filming good acting. We love you here in Israel ❣️ Thanks, Ruthie K Apr 07 2020 7:28 am Thank you for portraying an authentic story that focused on the lesser touched-on topics and spreading valuable messages about life. Giusy Apr 05 2020 7:55 am I loved everything about Itaewon Class... it was a real masterpiece! Can't wait to see more from this writer! Jessica Mar 28 2020 3:35 pm I just finished the first episode and my mind is already blown. So intense!! The writing is phenomenal! The actor who plays Sae-ro-yi is clearly gifted. His acting blew me away. He is so awesome and is portraying the part beautifully. I’m so amazed by him. I can’t wait to continue on. Kudos to the writer. Very well done! You too are clearly gifted. Thanks for bringing your gift for all of us to see. Again, I’m so blown away! I can’t get over it. Jimin Mar 25 2020 3:29 pm This is fantastic and the main character personality is wonderful. In every chapter there are things that unpredictable. I read so many comics and see their series but none of them is like this and this comic and series is so good and I love it . Wish you for more nice comics . Lj❤️ Mar 23 2020 7:29 am Best character build-up ever! Fantastic and inspiring writing, please write some more. ❤️ FSJ Mar 21 2020 12:11 am I just finished watching the 15th episode and although I would really like to commend you for writing the series so nice, I just can't take the pain of Soo Ah right now. You can't just do it to her. From someone who sacrificed years staying at Jangga hoping for Saeroyi to finally become successful, she simply doesn't deserve it. nooooo. it was too painful. too painful. Shirlet Mar 19 2020 12:30 pm Thank you for such a show. Love it. Amazing. Lots of issues covered. Important issues. Transgender, the class system, perseverance, being a non korean, etc. I was born in Jamaica and I live in Canada. It's nice to see someone who look like me in a korean show. Thanks for that. The actors are amazing. Can't wait to watch the last 2 episodes. Beautiful drama. Shirlet. Ps. Would love to learn korean. I've started with an app. Nadia Mar 08 2020 10:08 pm Thank you, for Itaewon Class. Thank you... YB Mar 07 2020 7:36 pm Please Park Sae-Ro-Yi end up with Oh Soo-A ☺️ Show the 16 previous comments...
