Youth of May

Wow... I really don't know where to start... First of all, the historical background is just perfect, everything is perfect, the actors are just too good! If u like crying a river this is the show for you, I've never cried so much for a kdrama, this is definitely on top of the kdramas I've watched til now, I mean... the drama is real, it's heartbreaking but still, the romance is beautiful, all the characters are so very well developed, just watch it and cry.

The Plot and the Screenplay are well put-together.

The show is about one hell of a star-crossed love between a medical student and a nurse weaved around a dark-time in south Korean city Gwangju.

Brace yourself for some heartache by the ending.

The low-rating reviews are from let-down expectation of a cute lovey-dovy romantic story with a happy ending.

This definitely goes into my re-watch list later in future.

I chose to watch this because of the interesting historical period it represents. As a European, I didn't know anything about Gwangju uprising although it is quite recent history.

I agree with most other reviewers that the production is great, acting is generally good. Leading couple has a great chemistry and the main villain is even more frightening than in Crash Landing on You. So I would have liked to give this more stars. I just hope they would have had better script.

It's a drama based on a historical event. The main leads have amazing storylines and show how they both battle their individual hardships. There's great chemistry between the leads and I loved how they portray the female lead's relationship with her family and especially her younger brother. It's definitely a must watch.

This drama has to be one of the underrated. This is a must watch. All cast members did an out standing job!!

I have to warn you even though this drama has romance in it. It is really sad. There are many parts that will get you very emotional and leave tears in your eyes.

Go Min-si as the leading female role was amazing!! Lee Do-hyun As the lead male was outstanding as well. Their acting skill were top notch. I can feel all their emotions.

This drama is more than just a live story. It's about fighting for what's right, what you believe in and all the struggles you have.

Truly a must watch. You won't be disappointed.
