This series is filled with rare authenticity.
Because About Youth gives you back the feeling of first love with all its insecurities, but also with all its happiness, which is not least due to the great young actors who really master the subject. Every shy smile is spot on, as is every intense look. Add to that a beautiful soundtrack and an atmosphere of melancholy and lightheartedness.

But this series also has some weaknesses, because the story is neither exceptional nor unique. In addition, a lot of interesting twists and plotlines are simply not followed up on. This may also be due to the length of the series which, at 8 episodes, is over far too quickly.
Therefore, I hope very much for a second season, because the characters are giving it and we would have more time to dive into the story.

Nevertheless About Youth is more than worth watching, because the whole series is an overkill of endorphins and leaves a smile, like a fresh breeze on a summer night.
So if you want to forget your everyday worries and enter a sweet world of fun, you should definitely give this series a chance.
