At the beginning of the year, a drama with Park Seojoon called “Itaewon Class” was released. This drama is an under dog story of a man who was continually taken advantage of and manipulated by those in power. He is helped throughout the drama by those who would be considered outcasts in Korea to achieve his goals. It is an amazing drama, and if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend you watch it. I loved it so much that I had to pick up a copy of the Itaewon Class OST to add to my collection.

K-Points: 627/5
Honestly, the packaging for the Itaewon Class OST is some of the best I’ve seen for any OST. Not only did they include stickers, which are my kryptonite, but they also included a Name Tag from the show! Additionally, there are 4 full CDs of music in here.
If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions over on my YouTube Channel. Obviously, I don’t have a reaction to the drama over there because that would be far too long. That being said, V from BTS is featured on this album, and I do have plenty of BTS reactions. You can watch my reaction to ON below:
So should you get yourself a copy of this album? If you are a fan of K-Dramas or Itaewon Class, I definitely think that you should get your copy of it. The music is all fantastic, and the drama is just as good, if not better than the music. That being said, when writing this post, trying to find a physical copy of it is very challenging, as it may be out of print right now, so definitely make sure to stream it.
Where can I get a copy?
I picked up my copy of this album Music Plaza LA. You can get a copy here for $32.99, plus shipping. Additionally, if you have never used Music Plaza before, this link will get you an extra 5% off of your first purchase!
You can also order a copy of the album from an eBay, as they typically have good prices. When writing this post, I could not find any that were reasonable prices for this album, but I highly recommend if you are interested to check here. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the Rakuten extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over $80 back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!
Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!
Can I get it on Amazon?
Yes! You can pick up a copy using this link with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. It may be out of stock, as it was for me when I was checking.
If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can get a 30-day free trial using this link here. I will not lie, the free 2-day shipping, plus all of the free music and videos are totally worth it. I also now use it for books for my Kindle Paper White too, and it is honestly a lifesaver. They have a program called Kindle Unlimited where you can check out 10 books at a time, read them, and put them back in the Kindle library. The program costs $7.99 a month, and you get the first 30 days for free with this link.
