If you want to understand Age of Youth 2, you need to watch Age of Youth 1, as the story of some of the girls still runs. The actress that played Eun Jae in Age of Youth 1 got replaced, and I didn't like her. Already her character was quite annoying-perhaps that was the idea behind her character, but at least the first actress was cute and childish in a way, whereas the one in Age of Youth 2 was just annoying, thought that she deserved the break-up.

Overall I liked the drama, my favourite character has to be the beautiful and charismatic Song Ji Won, which played so well and she was just so fun to watch. I was also let down by the drama (twice ) as there was huge potential to promote activities which would raise attention towards female violence and rape in a society which usually turns away from these things which are lamentfully seen as shameful. I think they should have involved the girls in societies around the Uni campus but also writing in the Uni magazine about these real life stories that happened to women with the aim of forming a group of people that shared their experiences and gave support to each other. I think considering Korea is nr 1 country for suicidal deaths, they had such a great opportunity to promote thorough this drama different ways how females can seek support (and not just hide it from everyone) after violent attacks and how to be united in cases like this. Most probably the viewers of this drama are mostly girls, so all I have to say is, be safe, be wise and seek support, dont be alone!
