If you’re a fan of Korean dramas, chances are you’re one of those who got hooked on the hit TV series Itaewon Class, one of the most watched shows on Netflix in Hong Kong this week.

The webtoon based adaptation has just ended its two-month run in South Korea with its highest viewership rating yet at 16.5 per cent – for good reason. With its nail-biting plot, refreshing character arcs and a solid cast, there’s no doubting the popularity of this K-drama powerhouse.

For the uninitiated, Itaewon Class tells the story of an ex-convict (played by Park Seo-joon) and his misfit gang of friends as they fight against the odds to make their new bar a success.
