Check out entire list of Kdramas 2020
An ex-con and his friends fight to make their ambitious dreams for their street bar a reality.
Plot:
The 1st episode of itaewon class shows us a flashback 15 years ago.
Park saeroyi in highschool defends a person from a bully; turns out the bully's father is the owner of the school and also a hugely successful business man. Park saeroyis father is an employee in this man's company
Park saeroyi in front of the bully's father is asked to acknowledge his mistake and apologize to which he responds he didn't do anything worng and in turn that gets him expelled.
The bully's father later on goes on to become a main villain in the story.
Park saeroyis father often vists an orphanage where his company gives funds in form of charity and there a girl oh soo ah(kwon nara) who volunteers there ( she too goes to the school where park saeroyi recently got admitted)
The bully that we saw jang geun-won (Ahn Bo-hyun) causes a car accident which kills Park saeroyis father.
The police officer interrupts the mourning, and tell saeroyi that the driver who killed his Dad turned himself in this morning.
The police officer shares the paperwork and settlement agreement. He falls to the ground in distress, and Soo-ah takes over for him.
She picks up the paperwork and recognizes the car in the photo through the “7777” license plate. She tells Sae-ro-yi that the car belongs to jang Geun-won.
Saeroyi rushes to find jang gueun won and fight erupts between them. Saeroyi is almost about to hit him on the head with a rock but at the last minute cops show up along with soo ah
Saeroyi is sent to prison for 2years. After his release he goes to meet so aah in itaewon. They part ways and we skip to 7 years later.
So aah is now working at Jang Ga the company of our dear villain.
Saeroyi is now setting up his new bar Danbam which means chestnut or sweet night and while working there, so aah runs into him.
Saeroyi works with his staff of two ma yeon hi(lee joo young) and choi seung gwon( ryu kyung soo).
Ma yeon hi is later revealed to be a transgender and her storyline is interesting as we get to see how society holds prejudice over a trans person while choi seung gwon is an ex convict.
Rest of the three characters that join danbam later are jang gueon soo ( kim dong hi) , jo yi seo( kim da mi) who are friends. Gueon soo also has unrequited feelings for jo yi seo but soon yi seo seo starts to develop feelings for saeroyi. The third character is kim toni (chris lyon).
Jo yi seo's character is explained as a sociopath by her friend gueon soo and he ( we find out later in the show)is the other son of jang dae hee our villain. Kim toni is a black man who is half korean( his fathers fathers side) and has come to itaewon to find his father.( Who as we come to know later died in a car accident years ago)
With Yi seo having a crush of saeroyi and sareoyi liking so aah (who though not stated explicitly we see she likes him back too) we get a love triangle. Its actually not quite predictable who will end up with who unlike our usual kdramas where we knows who is the main lead and who is the second lead.
The story moves forward with saeroyis main aim being to become more powerful than Jang ga company.
This team of misfits work their way up and in the end succeed and reach their goal.
Each character is unique and special to the story. Several topics such as racism, classicism, transphopia, bullying, abuse of powers etc are explored in this 16 episode kdrama that went on to be an international hit.
The 1st part of the 1st episode is basically introduction.

Wa-tee's and his mother used to stay together now that she has died Wa-tee is extremely lonely.
He has no friends or relatives on top of all that he is in debt and if he doesn't pay fast enough he might lose the house.
So he puts an advertisement on Facebook to rent his house.
Five people come and start staying together and the last person to come to stay is mae-tee.
He says even though the house is full he's ready to sleep anywhere and still pay full rent.
Since Wa-tee needs money he agrees.
Now Mae tee is afraid of ghosts so he shifts into wae tees room with t-rex and wae tee sleeps in the living room on the sofa.
Next day wae tee gives a set of rules

Wae tee then says that he forgot to add one more rule that he can sack any one of them anytime
A girl comes asking for tee next day and wae tee says theres no one
She then askes t rex whos coming from outside if theres a tee in there he says she should call him and ask him to come outside because everyone living here is tee

Review:
I've watched alot of Thai BLs by now but Dark blue kiss and Sotus remain my favourite.
This drama does have two prequels but you don't need to watch them to understand this show.
The relationship of Pete and Kao is put in strain, but through this, they ultimately overcome each other's flaws with their everlasting fondness for one another.

6.Sotus: the series
Country: Thailand

Freshmen students are practically powerless to complain or resist any orders given by their seniors.
Arthit a senior; was seemingly unstoppable until Kongpob stood up against the abuses by the former.
Continual encounters between the two developed from animosity to something much more affectionate.
Review:
One of my favourites. I have to say I liked the 2nd part more. Here we have a slow burn romance between P'Arthit and Kongpop.
We see Kongpop confess his feelings making P'Arthit question his own.
Time: 45minutes 15 episodes
Where to watch: YouTube/Netflix
7.Sotus S
Country: Thailand

After an outing with the company, tensions rises between the two, and both will have to decide their future. Will Arthit and Kongpob remain as a couple?
Review:
This sequel is better in my opinion even though majority of watchers have felt Sotusthe series was superior one.
In the sequel we see them in the real world; outside college between people of different ages and mentality.
We see how they overcome the fear of what people might say and embrace their love for each other openly.
Also asfar as I know this is probably the only BL with office romance as most of them revolve around university life.
Time: 45minutes 13 episodes
