There is nothing gay about it? Just show some butts on screen yet the lead sleeps with his girlfriend. Agreed its about sex work out of compulsion, still weird, a lot of things don't make sense!
I understand what you're saying, though I think your phrasing is quite tone-deaf considering this is abuse we…
When an entire character arc hinges on domestic violence and self-sabotage, but the drama conveniently skips addressing any underlying motivations just to milk trauma for cheap sympathy—that’s the problem. Violence isn’t character depth, it’s just lazy plot armor!
Can you explain to me why you think there's zero reasons or motivations for their actions? I personally think…
Can you even read what someone have written or are you seriously dyslexic? No is trying to blame the victims or defend the perpetrators, only trying to seek a logical coherence and convincing character motivations!
Don't try to dive so deep into a drama so shallow, you will hit rock bottom and break your skull, oops it seems you already have!

Finally we've reached the pinnacle of resorting to insults when all your logic runs dry and you're scavenging for straws! Only if the producers had invested in some decent scriptwriters the same they are investing in a jobless PR agency

So he was always violent, but the alcohol made him violent-er? And the mom divorced him but somehow never noticed his behavior? Meanwhile, the kid’s whole arc is ‘I don’t wanna be like my dad’ while... taking the blame for crimes he didn’t commit. Make it make sense.

Ah, so now it's ‘they’re just violent people.’ So which is it? Alcohol made him do it, or he was always violent? At this point, you’re just throwing shit at the wall and hoping one sticks.

Addiction impairs judgment, but it doesn’t rewire someone into an abuser overnight. Not every addict turns violent, and not every violent person is an addict. Have you even come across any addicts ever in your life?
I literally hate this show. I watched the whole thing and I find Mr. Cook to be an absolute red flag. What a horrible…
Those were all excuses, and HSJ clearly knew that. It was merely his low-self esteem and high walls for his own mental sake at play. People who have been at shit crazy lows in their lives could only understand his actions, unfortunately! Otherwise things would appear quite superficial to most. HSJ was emotionally much more stable and mature and knew his partner well. HJW was just a lost vulnerable puppy, symbolically portrayed so well by the child actress. The clear message here is breaking down your walls and learning to appreciate yourself and communicate well with your partner. I have nothing more to add. Hope it helps
this is the story of two lovers, and their parents are out of it no matter what the reason of the beatings or…
Your defensive tactics are as predictable as they are ineffective. The 'it's about the protagonists' deflection, the 'real life is shallow' excuse, the 'lacking empathy' accusation, and the 'write it yourself' non-argument—these are all tired tropes used to shield a poorly constructed narrative.
Let's address your specific points while also dissecting the show's broader flaws. You claim 'it's about the protagonists,' but a story's focus doesn't excuse lazy world-building. The supporting characters and plot points are not mere background noise; they contribute to the narrative's integrity. The mother's unbelievable ignorance, the father's sudden descent into alcoholism—these aren't 'gaps' for the audience to fill, they're plot holes that undermine the story's credibility.
You argue 'real life is shallow,' but that's a convenient excuse for lazy writing. Real life is complex, messy, and nuanced, and good storytelling reflects that. 'Our Youth' instead relies on melodramatic tropes like the 'tragic past' and 'forbidden love,' reducing characters to one-dimensional archetypes. The 'poetic' monologues, delivered with forced intensity, feel pretentious rather than profound. The forced chemistry and the heavy-handed symbolism—they all contribute to a narrative that feels manipulative rather than genuine.
You accuse me of 'lacking empathy,' but empathy isn't about blindly accepting emotional manipulation. It's about understanding and sharing the feelings of others. I have empathy for well-crafted stories that resonate with genuine human experience. 'Our Youth,' with its contrived conflicts and shallow characterizations, fails to achieve that. And your insistence that divorce happens solely because people 'stop loving each other' ignores the complexities of real-life relationships.
As for the 'write it yourself' challenge, it's a non-argument. I don't need to be a chef to recognize undercooked food, nor a builder to identify a structurally unsound house. Similarly, I don't need to be a writer to recognize lazy writing. And the fact that you resort to personal insults like 'idiot human' only underscores your inability to engage with valid criticism.
So, please, spare me the condescending lectures and the personal attacks. I'm not interested in engaging with someone who resorts to such tactics. I'll continue to point out the flaws in 'Our Youth,' both the specific plot holes and the broader narrative weaknesses, because someone needs to. And if that makes me an 'idiot human' who 'lacks empathy' in your eyes, so be it. At least I'm not an idiot human who defends terrible writing with baseless accusations, empty platitudes, and a complete disregard for narrative coherence.
My god you're so delusional! It's like talking to a brick wall
