Live without regrets

Purpose. Meaning. Justice. Revenge. Loyalty. Betrayal. Pride. These are the themes of Itaewon all rolled into one. This series is not without faults, I agree that there are big plot holes here and there and the ending was not fully satisfying. Those however should not take away from the overall storyline and superb acting of the cast. The story is about how people choose to live their lives and how their choices somehow affects how others live theirs..

The FL’s story is the most interesting for me, she’s young and has everything she wanted at her fingertips, effortlessly it seemed, yet finds that life is such a chore to live. She didn’t see any purpose in living and would rather not have been born. She eventually found purpose upon meeting Saeroyi, Somehow this simple-minded, but determined, man ten years her senior warmed her cold heart and made her see the colours of life, They fell in love in the most convoluted way possible.

Overall I find this drama complicated at the best of times yet very real and honest. A little over the top at times but hey if I get to see Park Seo Joon’s rom-com antics then I’m all for it.
