The new lead role character in 'Itaewon Class' made a big swift an image from her sweet face, charm and wit. Currently, she portrays a gangster-like, tough woman. She now sports a hairstyle, from her long black hair, a bob cut with an ombre blonde shade at the tips. Her accessories are bold and layered. Kim Da Mi's regular makeup in the series exudes a dark aura - blood red lips and heavy eyeliner, showing her fierce personality.
Jo Yi Seo, a tough, seemingly indifferent woman, gets slapped in the face during a confrontation. It seems as though it doesn't matter if viewers love or develop a strong dislike towards the role she portrays, but it is undeniable that they are intrigued by her.
The fun part of the drama series is a love triangle between her and another lady. They fight the spot to get the attention and interest of lead actor Park Seo Joon, who plays the role of Park Sae Ro-yi. The tenth episode showed how strong character Jo Yi Seo is as she confronts Geun-won. The brat and spoiled as he is who brawl and run after her. Part of the highlight of the scene was when Park Sae Ro-yi rescued her and matched with Geun-won.
