Begins Youth

Begin Youth is the storyline from The Most Beautiful Moments in Life, aka BTS Universe. I knew watching what was going to happen, but I STILL CRIED LIKE A BABY. Even though this is the universe, they did change the first names due to people getting mad that the members real names were being used in a BTS storyline, but not real life. As I watched it, I knew who was who, the 2 representing Hobi and Ji-Min my gosh could have been a younger twin version, like I knew automatically before I even knew. It was the, "I tend to break everything I touch" that had me rolling. A must watch for Army!!!!!!!

First of all its unfortunate the drama is released on such an obscure platform.

The writing and plot are engaging and the characters are so lovable. The characters are well written and distinct.

I watched this being already familiar with the original webtoon and music videos. The drama is a prequel to the webtoon Save Me.

The drama's editing does a great job capturing your full attention by making you keep guessing what is going to happen to the characters. The plot does not fall heavily on cliches to carry the plot. Its a very original coming of age drama.

The pacing is very deliberately slow and heavy. It has a good balance of humour and tragedy and heartfelt moments.

At certain parts the dramas pace gets slower by shifting the focus away from the 7 main cast and that might disengage the viewers but with each episode it kept picking it up.

Episodes 4, 8, 9 and 12 are highlights for being the best paced and engaging.

Episodes 6 and 7 were a little too slow.

One of the best parts about the drama is the sound design. It's well done and at times it carries a certain horror element.

There are a few continuity mistakes with scenes that have all 7 of the main cast but it's not that noticible and it doesn't take away your attention.

Overall I am happy with this adaptation of the HYYH album story. I don't know if a viewer who is unfamiliar with the original story will have a hard time watching this drama. There are 7 main characters afterall. It may not be for everyone.

If you love coming of age stories with detailed character studies and elements of tragedy and some comedy you.

I highly recommend everyone to watch this.

It's amazing how this drama is talking about real problems faced by real people with the inclusion of mind blowing twists. Not to mention it's filled with sweet bonding moments that pulls at the viewer's heartstrings.

The plot is absolutely incredible and I couldn't believe it that this story was initially created by the musical group, BTS, that this is their storyline for their music videos.

The story 10/10 The acting 10/10 The ending 11/10

I'm so glad I got to watch Begins Youth. Definitely going to rewatch this drama again. Hoping for a second season.

As an army Bts (a Bts fan) I've watched many times the mv's from the album "The best beautiful moment in life" , I've read the books "Notes" and the webtoon "Save me".

I've always thought that the story of Bts universe is captivating, thrilling, heartfelt and heartbreaking, and I've always wanted to watch it as a drama, I've waited for so long... This drama is excellent, a very good production, amazing acting, especially from the young protagonists, the casting was on point.

It was only the beginning though, I want desperately a second season, the continuation of the story is far more thrilling... It is about 7 young boys who become friends, the struggles of their lives, the pain, the traumas, the lost innocence, the joy of being together, the compassion... A drama about life, about human weakness, about friendship, about all of us... A story that has no end...

Drama director and cast did really great job portraying the character and their traits and the storyline... Engaging.... I wish it published in more popular platform and it deserves more publicity.

I think it can be a great drama to those who love ...youth drama. It protected youth trauma and their different way of dealing.... From mental health to physical abuse how youth deal with those... They are not saints but they are not devil either.... They just tried to deal with their problems in their own way... ... When there are moments of struggle..there are also moments of pure enjoyment... how they rely on each other.... They each of them make themselves happy.... Overall i am waiting how they unfolds the storyline...but till now its wonderful.
