And when you get a chance, you should definitely visit the Itaewon Class shooting locations to make you feel like part of the K-drama.
The basic plot of the Korean drama “Itaewon Class” on Netflix is that after being expelled from middle school, Park Sae Ro Yi (Park Seo Joon) starts a food business and will stop at nothing until he achieves his dreams.
