~'Itaewon Classโ Taught Me That As Long As You Believe, The Universe Will Make It Happen ~
I will get straight to the point: โItaewon Classโ has been radical, powerful, inspiring and downright bomb. It is such a refreshing show and I am so glad to have watched it during this phase of my life.
The story centers around Park Saeroyi, a high school student who gets suspended for standing up against a bully and refusing to apologize for it. Even as life continues to knock him down, Saeroyi decides to get back up each time. His end goal is to bring down his rival, Chairman Jang Dae-Hee of the renowned food corporation, Janga.Co. As a part of his plan, Saeroyi decides to open his own pub in bustling Itaewon. Along the way, he meets and embraces a troupe of societal misfits who become the backbone of DanBam (his pub).
My Learnings from Itaewon Class:
1. Follow your gut, through and through.
I love Saeroyi for having such deep-rooted conviction in his beliefs and in his intuition. While he pursues his goal with logic and passion, it is his open heart that guides him through every rise and fall.
2. Be flexible; thatโs how you always remain a learner.
Another thing that I love about Saeroyi is the way he accepts new information and new mannerisms. He is open to suggestions, accepts when he is being stuck-up and rectifies his mistakes by learning how to be flexible.
3. Believe in yourself even when nobody does.
Man, this is such a spectacular thing to watch in Saeroyi, Yi-Seo and Hyeon-yi. Even when the world is against them, these 3 continue believing in themselves and thatโs exactly why they achieve remarkable things.
4.ย Have a vision for yourself.
It is delightful to meet goal-driven, visionary, Park Saeroyi even when he is far from where he wants to be. It is the vision that heโs created for his life that drives him to be better and do better. Each act, word and thought is channeled for this vision and I loved, loved learning this from him.
5. Nobody can move mountains alone.
I love the DanBam family. I love how they have each otherโs back. I love seeing Saeroyi find a family once again. The people of DanBam prove that moving mountains is collective effort, not a solo job.
