The plotline was nothing out of the ordinary...no goblins, no time travel, no chaebols and their counterparts, or meddling parents. Just characters who want to live ordinary lives, and kudos to all the performers, the writers and the directing and editing, this was wonderfully portrayed. Main leads chemistry is amazing that while their bickering was so on point, the gentle moments using eye contact and very subtle facial expressions convey their actions. The interaction between the support characters, mother to son, granddaughter to grandma, between best friends were all so heartfelt, you almost forget these people are just acting. 10/10 for me.

I left this on my "to watch" list for a long time because of the mixed reviews, but I think this is probably one of the better series I've seen. The plot is simple, yet the writer unraveled each character flawlessly with such impeccable story telling skills that is consistent throughout all 16 episodes that in my opinion was the perfect pace that didn't drag on. The dialogue was clever yet very touching, witty and comedic but not annoying... but it was how the the actors and actresses who played both main and support roles delivered the lines and all gave performances that brought each character to so much life becoming so relatable. Of course there is an overload of visuals especially the super adorable Jung Yu-mi, and the 2 male leads Eric Mun (oozing with "IT" appeal) and Sung Joon (boy next door sexiness), not to mention the cameo appearance of the one and only Yoo Ah-In. 5/5 stars for sure*****

I was really looking forward to this drama because of its power packed cast Park/Park combo two of the best performers in K drama world!!! But I have struggled to even get to ep 12. The plot was meh....there was no chemistry between Park/Park and they looked so awkward together. The rest of the cast looked like everything they were doing from scene to scene was forced. I'm 4 episodes away from the finale, and the only character I somehow like is the grandpa. It's quite disappointing. I'm a big fan of both leads so I'm routing for them on their upcoming projects. But I struggled to give them 2 stars for Record of Youth. This is just one of those dramas that I will just not waste any more time with.

I'm in love with everything about this drama so far, I'm tempted to binge watch of the episodes that's already out. The story line is progressing so well I can't get enough of it. The chemistry among the characters is so real and tangible...never an awkward moment. Can't wait to see how everything unravels....so excited... I’m about to start EP 11. This drama is soooo good my heart could burst. I’m savoring every moment of it as the plot which is so unique and the characters who blend so well progress. Every episode is filled with clever humor, sweet heart fluttering, tender family moments all rolled in a little over an hour. Main cast Nam Joo-hyuk, Bae Suzy and Kim Seon-ho are unbelievable performers who can relay their feelings on screen with just their face expressions. It’s incredible The choice of supporting cast is also superb. Will post back once drama is completed. Right now it’s definitely 6/5 stars all the way. And after watching the final episode I’m convinced this is one of the best dramas I’ve seen so far. Everything was so consistent till the end. The characters beautiful gelled together and how excellent everything unraveled in the end. Very heartwarming portrayals that’s so genuine that resonates with the audience. This sincerity is what other dramas failed to convey. I stopped watching record of youth at episode 12 because it felt so forced and awkward so I switched to this and it was so worth it. I definitely recommend this. There’s a reason why there’s so much buzz about this drama just after the 1st episode.

Short, sweet and very heartwarming. Very enlightening perspective. Great writer, incredible acting...great ending.

This quickly became one of the dramas I will re-watch over and over again. Incredible acting that gave so much life to an very beautifully written drama. Yoo Ah-In is a force to be reckoned with, in my opinion. This is definitely a must watch.

Beautiful light drama that beautifully presented a variety of issues relevant in our time. The cast had beautifully portrayed the character' Seo Ji-hye is adorable beyond words. Song Seung-heon is so handsome and fitting for the role. But I can’t get over Lee ji-hoon. He is a talented diverse actor who played his character exceptionally. I wanted to see more of him on screen. I hope to see him as a first lead very soon. Great job on this drama. Definitely in my rewatch list. 😍🥰😍

Very very sweet drama with tear worthy moments that are heart warming. Kudos to the writer for keeping the characters consistent through the entire 20 episodes. I just heart Jang Na-ra's performance. The voice, the face, the smile. Truly a princess. Jang Hyuk face expressions are priceless and successfully transferred his yearning and pain without words. Thank you so much for a beautiful drama worth re-watching. <3

I'm not done watching this drama. But oh my God every episode so far it's all soooo good I don't know why I didn't watch this earlier. I just got to the end of episode 4 and I'm like WHAT?!?! I'm staying tuned. This is a heartfelt drama about true and realistic love, strong friendship bonds that transcends challenges beautifully told in 16 episodes. At no point did the story drag and as the writer meticulously unraveled the events in every episode, in every scene, the characters stayed consistently with the story line that delivered a heart warming ending. This was a drama from 6 years ago and it the issues are very real to this day. This is great story telling and thank you so much. Would definitely recommend.

This is drama entertainment at its best. Ji Sung performance is a superb as he played multiple characters throughout all 20 episodes. What's really incredible is how consistent he played each character flawlessly sometimes from just changing his gaze. What an intense actor deserving of all the credit for this drama. Park Seo Jun delivered a great performance worth mentioning as the second male lead but he he's always been consistent and never fails to amaze regardless of the character he is playing. I have yet to acquire liking for the female lead though. This is a drama worth watching if just to see JI Sung act. The story line was good, the pace was fast, thrilling and never dragged. Great entertainment.
