'Itaewon Class' Episode 11 saw Park Sae-ro-yi face Yi-seo's confession after Geun-soo orchestrates a moment to prove to Yi-seo that Sae-ro-yi would never be interested in her.

The episode began with Geun-soo announcing to everyone at DanBam that he would like to quit. He has decided to go after what he wanted and that is Yi-seo. So when Sae-ro-yi tried to understand Geun-soo's reason for quitting the pub, the young man doesn't give a direct answer. Sae-ro-yi accepts what Geun-soo wants and wishes him luck. Now that Geun-soo has taken the first step, the next one is not a far fetch. He joins Jang Corp to learn management and tells his father that Jang Corp now has no one to lead except him considering Geun-won is in prison.

His father sees potential here and assigns Soo-ah to train Geun-soo. He begins working, but from the get-go, it becomes clear that his father's company is nothing like the one run by Sae-ro-yi. Yet, because he now has a goal in mind, Geun-soo finds himself capable of doing things that are necessary.

Can Geun-soo really put himself through the rigorous training and his father's expectations in Jang Corporation now that he has quit DanBam? That is for us to find over the next few episodes, but what is clear is that he is not beyond playing dirty to get what he wants. This we find towards the end of the episode when DanBam employees go out for dinner with Soo-ah and Geun-soo to celebrate.

Now that the truth about Sae-ro-yi's father's death is out in the open, there is a lot of interest from the media about him and his company. So DanBam gets invited again to participate in a tournament date cooking class competition called Best Pub. DanBam has won first place in two consecutive rounds and that's what they are out to celebrate. That and the fact that DanBam has now got $10 billion in investment. During this dinner, all of them end up playing Truth or Dare and when it is Sae-ro-yi's turn to answer questions, Geun-soo asks him if he had ever seen Yi-seo as a woman who he could be attracted to. Sae-ro-yi denies and instead says that he had always looked at Yi-seo as a young friend who is also his partner.

Despite knowing how Sae-ro-yi felt about Soo-ah, Yi-seo is unable to hold her feelings any longer. In fact she tries to convince herself that she shouldn't be hurt because she has after all known about his love for Soo-ah already. That, however, doesn't stop her from tearing up and when everyone notices, she is embarrassed and tries to flee from dinner.

Sae-ro-yi catches up though because he cannot understand why Yi-seo was hurt by what he had said. When he forces Yi-seo to tell him why she got upset, Yi-seo changes her plan of waiting for him for two years and just blurts out her feelings for him. She repeats how much she loves him, and when Sae-ro-yi tried to tell her that her feelings are misplaced, she disagrees. Sae-ro-yi also tried to remind Yi-seo about Geun-soo, who also has feelings for her but she doesn't concede. Instead, she asks him if there is a chance for the two of them to ever be together and as expected Sae-ro-yi just responds with no and that breaks Yi-seo's heart and on that note, the episode ended with Yi-seo breaking down in tears in the middle of the road.

Considering all the good things that happened throughout out the episode, which also includes Toni, the part-time employee finally having found his father, the ending was distressing. How will this affect Yi-seo? Will she decide to give up on her love and continue to work at DanBam or will she leave Sae-ro-yi?

That's something we would have to wait and watch! 'Itaewon Class' episodes can be streamed on Netflix.
