Celluloid Critics Consensus
What is Itaewon Class about?
Expelled at sixteen for hitting the untouchable son of a restaurant magnate, then orphaned when that same family's recklessness kills his father, a young man serves his sentence and spends the next decade preparing. His weapon is a cramped bar in Itaewon staffed by outcasts, including a sociopathically gifted manager who wants both the company and him. The plan is simple: outgrow the giant, then buy it.
