Record of youth was really something. But i know in the end it did break a lot of expectation's

I will just quote my personal experience. I watched the drama ongoing. I smiled and felt so good for the first 10 to 11 episodes. Then came the 2020 part of the drama. That was kind of expected but it went a little bit overboard. It made me sad. Almost disturbed my sleep. I realized how bad it is to take a drama seriously. But believe me, I couldn't help cause it was sooo good before that sad part. The acting was good. Everyone did their part beautifully. At times there was some lag in the story when the story focuses on hye jun's family. But u can just skip it .

The chemistry between the actors park so dam and park bo gum was something out of the page. Park bo bum will make u cry along with him and in the next scene make u smile for an infinite time even after completing that episode. It will really make u believe so much in love. It felt magical.

Anyway, that won't be your opinion once you reach the end.

I just want to let u know this. Don't decide not to watch this drama because of all those bad reviews.

It did break a lot of expectations, it made everyone cry. But this still first 10 episodes were so beautiful. Every drama lover should see that at least. U can of course drop the drama after that. If those were the last episodes of this drama. record of youth would have got a rating above 8.5 for sure.

The first part of the drama deserves so much better than this. Just like the second lead of a startup. A must watch first part .
