Age of Youth (2016–2017)
10/10
One of the best K-dramas i've watched in years!
15 April 2019
This drama is so raw, It shows real people with actual issues and struggles going through life, together.

The story is not very special nor is it different from other dramas/tv shows about college life, coming of age, womanhood, self esteem, self love, friendships and relationships, but that's the beauty of it, all the bonds that the girls developed throughout the show felt authentic and had a very organic flow. Some k-drama writers can easily go overboard with dreamy stories, the sugar coated annoying romance that gets irritating after the first couple of episodes, this drama is an exception.

The exploration of some serious topics like toxic and/or abusive relationships, therapy, depression and anxiety, women empowerment, personal development and growth weren't forced at all, it was rather such a nice addition to South Korean shows, which unfortunately are lacking sevelry in that department, regardless of the many serious issues that the youth of South Korea are struggling with on the daily, which are usually left untalked about.

This drama felt like a breeze of fresh air at times, especially with the stunning soundtracks. Anyone can watch and enjoy it, highly recommend.
