A beautiful story about hope and despair
This drama was so beautiful, I was gonna pass on watching it because I saw too many spoilers LOL. But I am glad I didn't.I absolutely loved this drama, it became one of my favorites. They wrote it so beautifully and complex.
This drama dealt with many issues that many people struggle with. The story about these seven boys was so beautiful but yet so tragic. Each character was so compelling and complex that you just had to know what was gonna happen to them. I knew what I was getting myself into but I choose to watch it; I don't regret it one bit.
The struggles of each boys were so heartbreaking, the only people who could let them escape from their struggles for a bit were each other. I personally loved the friendship of each of the boys, they showed such a beautiful friendship between them.
I really loved the friendship between Jeha and Cein, their friendship was so interesting and I would like to know how they became friends. I loved each and every character in this story out of the seven boys.
The acting of the boys was so amazing, they are such good actors; I hope they get the recognition that they deserve.
The last two episodes broke my heart into pieces but so did the other ten episodes, each episode when they showed the tragic struggles that each boy was going through I felt like crying and most times I did. I knew the ending would be tragic, but not that tragic, I was up until 12am watching it and I cried my heart out. My heart hurts so much thinking about how the drama ended for the boys. They went through all that struggle for them to not have a happy ending. That is so tragic, my heart breaks for the boys.
I really hate the principal, why can't he leave Cein and everyone else alone.
Almost all the boys parents I disliked so much , especially Haru's I hated them so much, and Hwan's dad was so horrible. I didn't really like Jeha's mom, I know she wanted her and Jeha to have place in the family, I understand that, but Jeha was obviously not that happy with what was happening, and I know he wanted to have a place in the family too. My heart breaks for the struggles that he went through same with Haru and Hwan. Haru suffered so much, and endured so much and all he wanted was to be understood by his parents and brother, but they couldn't even do that. His family made his condition worsen so much to the point where he got. And for him to try to commit suicide so he can get away from his parents is just so heartbreaking. Hwan wanted to be a good son to his dad, but he couldn't take it anymore and once he met the boys he started to finally be able to breathe away from his dad, but that even got taken away from him. My boy Cein, he suffered so much prejudice, he was at his breaking point towards the end of the show, and my heart broke for him when he had that talk with his dad in the last episode. And what happened with his mom, oh man my heart is broken for him. He just wanted to be understood too, and not be treated like a criminal, whenever something happened everyone pointed their fingers at him, that is just unfair. He isn't even a cold person, he is a warm and sweet boy.
Hosu, he's always so positive and kind he doesn't want people to worry about him so he doesn't tell anyone his problems. Even when he is struggling he doesn't tell anyone, he keeps it too himself so he doesn't worry or bother anyone. His story was so heartbreaking. He just wanted people to care about him, he just wanted to be loved. The talk with him and Dogeon was so heartbreaking. I cried so much. The poor boy.
Jooan, the poor boy he was struggling so much with the abuse of his dad, and him wanting his old family back, he was holding onto the happy memories of his family, but in reality he needed to let go of his dad. His dad has had too many chances and he doesn't even bother to get help and change he stays the same. The scene where Jooan brings his dad to his mom and sister, that wasn't a smart move, I understand that he wanted them all to be a family again, he was so pure and wanted his dad back. But in the end, it won't work like that, his dad is far gone now.
Dogeon had so much responsibilities that were piled on top of him and he couldn't bear it all. He tries to bear it all, but when he finally breaks down in front of Jooan and then in front of his mom, those scene broke me. He was a kid, trying to work for his family, even when his family was suffocating him with all those responsibilities.
Anyway, this review is getting so long lol. I'll stop it here. This is my first review of a drama lol.

No tears left to cry
Unexpectedly reached top1 of my KTRAUMA list. This review is just me wanting to kms.Bounds between characters are too deep, their pain too real. Cinematography is beyond incredible and beautiful. Quotes hit home and i relate way too much with my boys. The acting crushed me. I hope they all succeed in their future project because their talent left me with no word to express what i felt.
I had no knowledge of BTS and the universe it's inspired from so i couldn't be disappointed but now i wanna learn more. jooan, haru, cein, jeha, hosu, dongeon and hwan changed the trajectory of my life.
It took me DAYS to dare watch last episode cuz the trauma was too big kdkdjxks. gonna kms in front of the writers tbh.
"if waiting is all i can do, i will wait. if you wait for the person to come, at least he has a place to return to. "

Beautiful drama about friendship and youth.
First of all, the plot can be simple if you think about it in terms of 7 different individuals being friends.It was beautiful watching them become friends and how the friendships evolved with time. All of their stories are engaging in their own ways, and when the story cannot advance more they just let it go, like it happened with Jeha's and Hwan's backstories.
Acting is extremely on point, I am amazed by how well the 7 boys actors played their roles. Specially Jung Woojin, the boy is extremely unlucky with his acting projects, first of all this one is released in an obscure website that probably has many people not watching, and second, his Aquaman drama is in the limbo due to financial issues. I hope the future is bright for Woojin, the guy made me cry with his backstory.
What I really made me go sad it's the fact that due to the mess this drama has become with the constant reshoots, I heavily doubt we will see season 2, and I think it was calling for a season 2 badly. I know the whole time travelling plot is really complicated in the original story, but I feel we got so many loose ends towards the end, to be completely satisfied. And while I get Hwan manages to time-travel and go back to when they were all friends, and still keeps his memories, I don't know I feel it would have been interesting to watch him try to save his friends. I still don't get why he decided to kill Ceein's mom all the same.

Good Enough
Korean Drama '' Begins Youth '' is a drama based on the BTS Universe storyline and the '' Save Me '' webtoon.The drama follows the original story closely, with some variations that don't offset the main plot. It can also be watched by someone who has no clue when it comes to the BTS storyline, so that is another plus for the drama.
On the other hand, the drama tries to combine too many storylines in such a short running time, and therefore, some characters are pushed aside and are not as developed as the rest of their friends. Also, the fantasy element was introduced in the very ending, which would make sense if they added another season, but if they don't, then the ending is left open with many questions left unanswered.
The performances, on the contrary, were pretty great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.

Tanto esperei, mas não me decepcionei!!!!!!!!
Fiquei muito feliz quando soube que finalmente esse dorama iria sair do papel. Sou muito fã da HYYH era e estava muuuuuuito ansiosa pra ver como a história iria se desenvolver dentro de um drama. Amei cada episódio! Fiquei super chocada com a escolha do elenco e com a caracterização que fizeram dos personages porque simplesmente os atores que interpretam o Jimin e o J-hope poderiam claramente serem parentes deles de tão parecidos!!A história tem uma direção bem confusa com momentos do passado aparecendo depois do presente e cabe a você entender se aquilo já aconteceu ou não. Não me impediu de gostar e entender a história, mas é um ponto a ser levantado caso quem for assistir tenha algum problema de atenção.
No mais, achei tudo muito bem feito, as atuações impecáveis -- destaco aqui a atuação do Woojin no episódio final que me deixou embasbacada --, a parte da história que não foi mostrada nos clipes/webtoon foi muito bem desenvolvida e coerente com a parte que já existia. Realmente uma produção de ouro!

The actors were phenomenal!
This show wasn’t something I was going to watch till I recognized one of the actors and I decided to give it a try this show was beautiful in so many ways and the boys did an amazing job on their characters it felt all so real. I think the one thing about this show for me is that it was a bit hard to follow at times and I was confused about the order for a while, but once I had got over that it was still decently enjoyable. Last thing I wanted to say if they didn’t have the great actors they had the show wouldn’t have been as good.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Mixed Feels and 2 Many Questions – Should You Wait for Season 2 to Start Season 1?
I am unfamiliar with the BTS universe, so this is my unbiased review.Firstly, regarding the storyline:
The story is compelling; it revolves around the friendship and struggles of seven teenage boys. However, the writers have chosen to subject the characters to a wide array of struggles imaginable. . This trend continues for the other characters as well. It feels excessive and like they've pushed the boundaries of trauma depiction. They could have balanced this with more moments of joy cause the way the story progressed it seems that whenever they gather and enjoy themselves, something unfortunate occurs in the next scene.
Secondly, concerning the characters:
All the characters are well-developed with unique personalities, and I genuinely appreciate each one of them. However, some characters weren't explored adequately; instead, the focus seemed skewed towards others. Surprisingly, the main character, Hwan, had limited screen time. I felt characters like Dogeon, Jooan, Hwan, and Hosu were underexplored.
Dogeon's screen time primarily revolves around his financial struggles and conflicts with his mother, with limited interaction with other characters. I wished for more depth in Dogeon's portrayal.
Jooan's decision to live with his father rather than his mother could have been explored further to understand his mindset, particularly his attachment despite the abuse—a sort of trauma bonding aspect.
Initially, Hosu played a prominent role, especially with his abandonment issues, but his character development abruptly halted.
I understand others may disagree, but I believe too much screen time was devoted to Haru without significant progress in his condition. His scenes felt repetitive, and similarly, Jeha's storyline—competing for his father's affection vis-à-vis his stepbrother and his troubling fixation on Cein—became tiresome to watch.
Cein's scenes mostly involve brooding in the burnt house or unsettling interactions with the principal and his father, which, while intriguing, felt somewhat disconnected.
I'm not suggesting that their screen time should have been redistributed, but rather that some of the series' mysteries could have been addressed or at least acknowledged. I've heard there may be another season, but without addressing these mysteries, it's hard to maintain audience interest, even if it's setting up for something significant.
In terms of execution, there are flaws, but I appreciate the non-linear storytelling approach and the episodes starting with each character's involvement in the fire. It added an intriguing layer of mystery to the series. Literally none of the mysteries were solved except Haru's.
Overall, despite my mixed feelings about the series, it has its strengths and weaknesses. I hope a second season will provide answers to lingering questions and do justice to this promising storyline.

Started with a cliffhanger ends with cliffhanger
I really salute BTS and bang pd nim for coming up with such an amazing story how the hell did bighit planned this even before BTS did not debut . Damn I am amazed .Bighit released three parts webtoon game and kdrama . Kdrama contains what actually happened in the past and how everything started . Webtoon offers what happens after that the beginning of time travel and game gave the same thing as webtoon but more in detail . We never really got the actual ending I hope there can be a season 2 where we can see what actually happend after that . Cmon bighit it has been 10 years when will you give us the ending . If this kdrama would be on Netflix or viki this would be the most streamed kdrama of all time and more chances of season 2 cmon BTS come back fast and give us the ending I have waited so long how more I have to wait.
Those who don't know anything start with webtoon then watch kdrama then you can watch BTS mv and trailers for more details and you can also read notes it's available on Wattpad .

a must watch to every ARMY
i love the story and how we have seven characters to love and live with through everything, i cried a lot and I laughed each time they were altogether happy, i miss my seven boys so much and this is the best way to relive my journey with them, the background stories of each member have no relation to their real-life but these stories exist and anyone one of us can live it that's why it's so realistic and warm. i cant wait to watch every ep and enjoy this beautiful kdrama.PS: we need more BTS OSTS lol.

So far...Great!
This show gets better with each episode. Love the chemistry of the 7 students. Episode 6 was the best with the humor and compassion. You definitely get a feel for the special bond they have for each other. They pull each other out of their lowest moments. Curious to see how the time travel concept will be played out. Will it follow the BU concept?Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
