South Korea's JTBC launched the new comic drama "Itaewon Class", directed by the director Kim Sung Yoon of "Moonlight in the Clouds", with the original manga Zhao Guangzhen acting as the screenwriter. Netflix will be launched globally on January 31. The story tells that the father of the upright young man Park Shilu died in an accident. He escaped legal punishment because the perpetrator was a chaebol. Park Shiro wanted to get justice for his father but was imprisoned. After being released from prison, Park Selu, who had only a junior high school education and a criminal record, worked hard for 7 years, saved money to open a tavern in Itaewon, counterattacked all the way to achieve his business ambitions and avenged the man who killed his father.
"Itaewon Class" has a strong sense of internet that is often found in comic dramas, anti-routines, high-burning revenge plot, can quickly arouse the audience's watching mood, upgrade the counterattack plot line, also through Male frequency network text verification, classic gameplay that has been tried and tested. Coupled with a good cast, this drama has doubled its ratings in just a few episodes. At present, the fourth episode of the latest episode has a rating of 9 in South Korea.
It can be said that the "coolness" of the early stage viewing experience of the play, in large part, comes from the host and hostess.
Park Seo-joon, who plays the role of "Park Selu", perfectly interprets the narcissism and second two of the male protagonist in the original comic in the romantic comedy "Why Secretary Kim Is Like" in 2018, and has circled a wave of fans. This time, he appeared in the comic drama again, still from the appearance to the character, quite well restored the thread and sense of justice of the male protagonist in the original work.
The corner of Park Shilu is a relatively rare stunned youthful image in Korean dramas in recent years. He has an ordinary background, an upright personality, and he has no flexibility, no friends, only a junior high school diploma, and a criminal record. The halo blessings that the male protagonist of Korean dramas always has "wealthy, family, interesting, talented, educated, and special abilities", he has nothing to do. Except that Park Seojun's appearance is not "ordinary", this is an ordinary character who is very close to the general public from the external conditions and can make people feel substitutable.
