An original coming of age drama with moving characters.
Begins ≠ youth is a great coming of age drama with heavy subject matter. Amazing cast of actors. The actors are mostly rookies but delivered strong performances.The depth in which the main characters are written is commendable. They managed to juggle a big cast while not leaving out any character's arcs. I liked the deliberate slow pacing of the drama. It suits the story.
Works as a prequel and adaptation of the save me webtoon.
Some episodes drag out a lot in pacing specifically 6 and 7. But it picks up afterward. The best episodes are 4, 8,9, 11 and 12.
Overall a very engaging watch. The story is incomplete, so there is hope for a season 2 to wrap up the plot.

A keep you on the edge of your seat psychological thriller.
The drama's premise itself is very interesting. Immediately hooks the viewer and you invest in the not so likeable, suspicious main character because he is the only one you can really root for.The cast is incredible, a wide range of actors who all manage to get under your skin with their performances.
The soundtrack is engaging. The cinematography keeps you on the edge the entire time. Its an anxious, get your blood pumping kind of watch.
Overall its deeply unsettling and and delivers on the horror aspect without any cliche tropes.
