Begins Youth (2024)

No tears left to cry

Unexpectedly reached top1 of my KTRAUMA list. This review is just me wanting to kms.

Bounds between characters are too deep, their pain too real. Cinematography is beyond incredible and beautiful. Quotes hit home and i relate way too much with my boys. The acting crushed me. I hope they all succeed in their future project because their talent left me with no word to express what i felt.

I had no knowledge of BTS and the universe it's inspired from so i couldn't be disappointed but now i wanna learn more. jooan, haru, cein, jeha, hosu, dongeon and hwan changed the trajectory of my life.

It took me DAYS to dare watch last episode cuz the trauma was too big kdkdjxks. gonna kms in front of the writers tbh.

"if waiting is all i can do, i will wait. if you wait for the person to come, at least he has a place to return to. "

Beautiful drama about friendship and youth.

First of all, the plot can be simple if you think about it in terms of 7 different individuals being friends.

It was beautiful watching them become friends and how the friendships evolved with time. All of their stories are engaging in their own ways, and when the story cannot advance more they just let it go, like it happened with Jeha's and Hwan's backstories.

Acting is extremely on point, I am amazed by how well the 7 boys actors played their roles. Specially Jung Woojin, the boy is extremely unlucky with his acting projects, first of all this one is released in an obscure website that probably has many people not watching, and second, his Aquaman drama is in the limbo due to financial issues. I hope the future is bright for Woojin, the guy made me cry with his backstory.

What I really made me go sad it's the fact that due to the mess this drama has become with the constant reshoots, I heavily doubt we will see season 2, and I think it was calling for a season 2 badly. I know the whole time travelling plot is really complicated in the original story, but I feel we got so many loose ends towards the end, to be completely satisfied. And while I get Hwan manages to time-travel and go back to when they were all friends, and still keeps his memories, I don't know I feel it would have been interesting to watch him try to save his friends. I still don't get why he decided to kill Ceein's mom all the same.

over the edge

my final judgment on this ： it was a failure
yes it was a gripping drama to watch but 、went completely off the rails with episode 11 totally over romanticised shading into melodrama and episode 12 just bad melodrama with I assume the triumph of evil embodied in Kim Changjun and the principal and of social advantage ー
but then there are the unresolved questions starting with the end of episode 11 and Kim Hwan on the edge.......of what? a watery grave. ? bizarrely we do not find out specifically in episode 12 where the one actually taking the plunge is Jeon though the very end maybe can be viewed as implying he joins the other ghosts （but no not all of them actually died or at least bodily）
I am still not clear if Cein's mother was responsible for her own fate or raped and murdered by Kim Changjun though given his later easy turn to murder to attain his ends and hints from the principal' s contributions in the drama including the flashback to the young Changjun I tend to the latter view but the writer really leaves it hopelessly muddled
you can take this as an invitation for your imagination to fill in the gaps or a failure of the writer to properly resolve the drama： I am quite willing to let my imagination run but if so it will not be because the writer [webtoon or screenwriter] encouraged me to do so in a positive way but because I have to make up for their inadequacy

Started with a cliffhanger ends with cliffhanger

I really salute BTS and bang pd nim for coming up with such an amazing story how the hell did bighit planned this even before BTS did not debut . Damn I am amazed .

Bighit released three parts webtoon game and kdrama . Kdrama contains what actually happened in the past and how everything started . Webtoon offers what happens after that the beginning of time travel and game gave the same thing as webtoon but more in detail . We never really got the actual ending I hope there can be a season 2 where we can see what actually happend after that . Cmon bighit it has been 10 years when will you give us the ending . If this kdrama would be on Netflix or viki this would be the most streamed kdrama of all time and more chances of season 2 cmon BTS come back fast and give us the ending I have waited so long how more I have to wait.

Those who don't know anything start with webtoon then watch kdrama then you can watch BTS mv and trailers for more details and you can also read notes it's available on Wattpad .

sadness and happiness at the same time

honestly as much as I love this series, I hate it so much at the same time.
the actors did such a great job. so realistically played. but why do I hate the series at the same time, not every series, but because some child goes through the same thing and no one does anything. we have a display whether you are rich, middle class or poor, no one is happy, everyone is suffering, and when you look at it, everyone is equal, there is no difference. and no matter how much everyone suffered, they found themselves with a different character of thinking, sharing sadness and laughter. and when they are together, for a moment everything is normal. I don't know how the series will end, but I sincerely hope that everyone will find their way. I think we can learn a lesson from this series

"Bound by Love: Triumph Over Pain, Illness, and a Selfish Society"

Where to start aah! I love this drama cinematography and story too, the cast members are perfect and did justice to the characters they played in this series and last 2 episodes are bit confusing like suddenly they said Hwan was time travelling whatever we see in this 12 episodes are all part of his time travel it seems, i was surprised at many scenes like mainly Hwan's father scholarship one is bit confusing like i think so the man who died at beach knows something these 7 people and there life activities too like where they will died like that is written in the notebook which jeha studies it. Is time travel is only happening because of principal or saving his friends. The 7th scholarship students were time travelling for infinite times it seems so, that is why cein's mom died and jooan's dad is being drunken all the time, Hwan's dad forget about the tapes which cein mom send it to him.

There are few scenes in this drama that made me think abt it like 1st scene intro scene hwan watches the building as if he had saw it before somewhere and 2nd scene like jooan doesn't recognize cein in one scene like he went to make him hold for few seconds. The man who threatened these 6 kids are none other "Hwan" itself and i am speechless, when does season 2 will air? I need to watch it immediately, it is so confusing and you guys left out with many questions!!!!
