Geun-soo finally shows his true colours

I never particularly liked Geun-soo, though I had no especial reason for it other than that he was a bit passive about everything. Now I do have more of reason, as as soon as he joins Jangga he turns out to be a sort of cocky, manipulative guy.It'd seem that characters like that take turns in Itaewon Class: when the previous is gone, one among those who remain change to be like that. For the rest, good use of soundtrack and visual (snowy) effects in this episode. Yo Ji-seo acted quite honestly, for a change.And there's finally some development for Toni in this one episode, but not too compelling. I wish there'd be more on Hyun-yi.

I was marking this show as watched on another…

I was marking this show as watched on another TV show platform and I had a hard time deciding which character was my favorite in this episode. Why? Because I dislike almost all of them. I eventually ended up voting for Toni. I understand characters like Yiseo (and now Geunsoo) were purposely written like this and me disliking them goes beyond a personal opinion - they want us to feel this way. But the problem starts when I can't even stand these characters anymore and the good part of the show doesn't make up for it. Itaewon Class is a unique drama, different than any others I've watched before; but unfortunately that doesn't make it any good on its own.

Choices

This episode was about choices ... Geun-soo's decision might come back to bite him someday. I hope he realizes sooner than later that one shouldn't change just to make someone else happy or to gain their love. I hope this move doesn't affect him negatively and that he becomes instrumental in taking down the President from the inside. I am a bit wary of that investment company. Hopefully, it's a real offer that will help DanBam and the team in the long run. Sae-yo-ri's choice also makes sense, he is too wrapped up in his feelings for someone else to consider or accept another, but I also think he shouldn't dismiss how Yi-Seo feels or tell her she is mistaken in how she feels. That's even worse than rejecting her. I find it hard to believe Sae-ro-yi was blind to Yi-Seo's feelings towards him. I think he deliberately chooses to ignore them because of it suites him. I am curious to see what Yi-Seo will do now; will she still work at DanBam... a game-changing episode indeed.
