Begins Youth (2024)

Hopeful Bond Against the Dark Odds

“It bothers me when one out of every seven of us is missing. I don’t know why, but I just don’t like it. I hope we can be all together. When we are all together, I don’t even think about wanting to die.”

I've live to this day to watch this drama adaptation of BU and I'm glad it's really good. They did an amazing job on the build up between the characters and their relationships, along with the actors' portrayal and chemistry. From the awkward first meetings to building trust with each other and getting closer together. I love watching their friendship and brotherhood despite their different backgrounds and problems. This drama is heartwarming with the precious found family trope. But at the same time, the dark themes about their childhood traumas and family secrets are so emotional and intriguing. It's only 4 episodes so far in their highschool part and I'm already feeling many emotions. More revelations and twists will come in the later episodes. I can't wait for more angst and I'm especially excited to see the part when the time travel/loop starts.

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

BOY ISSUES JUST GOT BIG

TO ALL THE BOYS

Boys don't cry, boys aren't emotional, boys are supposed to be strong, But what's the most beautiful moment of my life.

Seven beautiful boys from Seven different families living in Seven different worlds and trying to navigate the complexities of teenage hood, growing up, I'll be honest until now I'd never thought that Boy issues could get as big as Girls make theirs seem.

This is a bumpy and perfectly toxic friendship if you could sum it up and there'll most probably never be another show that beats this drama at that.

The bromance is swoon worthy, every bit of it tastes no different from hot chocolate on a cold night. We've seen kids dealing with serious issues in EXTRACURRICULAR, WEAK HERO CLASS, THAT MOMENT AT EIGHTEEN, SCHOOL 2013 and AT A DISTANCE SPRING IS GREEN but perhaps none of those shows could hit deeper and more real than BEGINS YOUTH.

This is a show for the heavy hearted especially because it deals with primarily broken characters that are trying to heal. All relationships come pretty intense and vibrant and yet the characters seem very fragile but persistent when enduring everything. Besides, It is commendable enough that most of this series speaks to people who have gone through some of the worst extremes in life.

No show made me smile and cry just as much eventually especially when dealing with overbearing parents, rigid societies and corrupted institutions because you would be surprised that high school life could become a physical and psychological living hell where we are all trying to survive.
