Amintiri din Tinerețe (2020)

Eu realmente queria ter gostado mais desse dorama.

O dorama começa muito bem mas conforme passam os episódios, ele desanda MUITO.
A atuação e OST são impecáveis mas o roteiro é tão fraco que peca num dorama que poderia ser muito melhor.
Começa a ter muitos problemas nele que acabam não tendo tempo para serem desenvovidos e acaba sendo meia boca a partir da metade dele.
*A seguir pode ser considerado spoiler*

Um triângulo amoroso que acaba não resolvido; "ameaças" de que algo de horrível vai acontecer pra dramatizar mas nem acontece; a ex namorada com papel totalmente desnecessário; o ex agente que deveria ter sido processado desde o começo e sem falar na bomba que foi uma pessoa SE SUICIDAR e focarem em ele ser gay e que isso iria destruir a carreira do Hye-Jun.

Poderia ter sido muito melhor mas não foi.

the script wasted the talent

The cast will make you want to watch. Don't put yourself through it.
I intially was in love with this drama. An older than most main character, still chasing his dreams. His family and their lives. Best friend and the class differences between them. Love interest and her trying to also reach her dreams. And it's set in the fashion world. I was sold on this premise! And the first half delivered. I looked forward to the new episodes being posted on Netflix every week. Then somehow, towards the 7th episode or so, it was like I was watching a completely different show. The script and the dialogue became routine, stereotypical, see through. AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON HOW A SHOW CENTERED ON FASHION TREATED THE GAY STORYLINE IN SUCH A TYPICAL AND DISSAPOINTING WAY. In the end I didn't even have the drive to at least finish it to see the outcomes. Not even to see what happens with grandpa, the best character. I honestly was annoyed at it by episode 9 and by 13 I couldn't take any more. It didn't do anything new whatsoever. The cast deserved more honestly. I can't even rec it for something light or to binge when you can't find anything else because it gets so tediously boring and monotonous.
Just skip it, honestly.

Record of Youth Flashback

The first 5 or 6 episodes were enjoyable and fun to watch. When they started getting into flashbacks, I got totally lost. In one episode that character would say something and you'd think it was said at that time, but then in the next episode the scene would be replayed but there would be more to it so I'd wonder didn't I just see this is the last episode. This wasn't done just once, but quite a few times that I'd wonder if they were just doing it to make 16 episodes or did they really want to lose me.
The chemistry between the actors seemed forced to me. The lead male seemed kinda stiff and I felt he wasn't the best actor for that part. The lead female was more relaxed, but I felt her character lacked true feeling and has this wall around her keeping everyone out, even those who she says she loves.
The supporting cast to me made the series, the manager was excellent as was the rich woman, mother to the co star.
Lastly, I have never seen a character become a star, then be trashed, then be revived, then be trashed, then be revived. It seemed like that last episodes were how many time can he be smeared and still survive.

I am confused, I liked it and disliked at the same time

This is going to be a short review. This drama got me confused. It started really well, but lost it momentum half way through. It'll probably be a feast to Park Bo Gum's fans. I am not one, but he was pleasant enough to watch in this drama. My overall rating is as high as 8, because I like those down to earth dramas about people trying to live in the Korean society. I do realize the society is very judgmental, but this fact never ceases to annoy me.
Finally, can someone please explain to me why dating is considered a SCANDAL in Korea? What is so scandalous in the fact that an actor in his twenties is dating a perfectly normal girl his age? What's the controversy?

If you the most helpful reviews you may notice that they have given it stars varying from 4.5 to 6.5 but i feel 4.5 is just too low .I am confused between 6.5 and 6 but i am giving it a 6.

so now let's talk about what this drama is about . if you are looking for a romance drama then this is not it . i personally feel that this dram is actually slice of life
this drama focuses on the characters trying to achieve their dreams and realizing when they need to give up but hye jin rose to fame just so quickly they should hv shown us some of his struggles and they also didn't really show much about the different make up styles what i mean is that they didn't actually tell us about the jobs but they told us about the hardships of that job .
as they only focused more on hardships it made the show a bit boring but i guess that is the reality of the entertainment industry . They showed us the loneliness ,struggle, love relationship problems and much more but all of them includes hardships . it was like the writer had to keep an episode limit and she wanted to show the difficulties as well so she decided not to show the happiness of the characters.
the thing that disappointed me the most was the ending. there was no conclusion . when hye jin cried in his room there was no solution to that . i mean in the end they kind of showed that after achieving his goal he actually became more lonely rather than happy. it was like some things were just left incomplete
ABOUT WHETHER YOU SHOULD WATCH IT OR NOT I WILL SAY IF YOU HV SOME FREE TIE WELL THEN YOU CAN SEE IT BUT IT IS NOT SOMETHING WOW

A cliché Drama Experience overall...

To be frank in a way am not that satisfied with this drama. First of all i want to point out some of the interesting postive factor that i felt in the earlier Episodes, that there were not a big love traingle which i find every fresh in this particular kdrama, because usually in these kind of a plot in someway there will be a huge space for some unwanted love traingle. But here they manged to bring a good 2nd lead character without any big love fight in between the male leads. That was good. Secondly the chemistry between the couple looks so strong in the early stage Episodes which way pretty soon and was beautiful to see . So many lovely moments between them which were excellent.😍

Coming to weak points, there is nothing new apart from those factors. The drama moving like a complete cliché way from the 12 th Episode to finale which looks very boring and the last 4 or 5 Episode are not that interesting or exciting at all for me. Park Bo Gum Done a good performance from a struggling rookie to become an aspiring actor character. But for park So Dom i think she has nothing to do in particular, the character was good to see on the screen but i felt she just a side role character in this entire drama and not much to do as a female lead.

The family issues which we seen so many times before was still there and it presented beautifully without too annoying and that father, grandfather characters were superb👌 some emotional scenes were really touching especially in the finale Episode. But again if you are a beginner to kdrama you may feel in the other way, but if you are regular drama watcher you definitely may not feel complete satisfaction with this drama. By the way i expected little more in the climax also but it was an ok ending for me..

Overall its just an average drama experience for me

Chill and Realistic

I can understand why some people disliked this drama. But still, I don't think this drama deserves the hate it gets. I will admit that I tried starting this drama when it was airing. But I dropped it when everyone hated it, and honestly, I regret dropping it before.

This drama is not for everyone. If you're the type of person, who likes cliche, happy endings... not for you. I personally love sad or bittersweet dramas, so this was right in my alley. It's also kind of a mature drama. I guess you could say...? In the emotional aspect. It's like a slice of life drama.

I honestly don't know where to start... The acting and cast were a 10/10. Especially PGBs. This was my first time watching any of his dramas, and might I say, he might just be one of my favorite actors now! His crying scenes were..... AMAZING?! felt the rawness and emotion that was needed.

The character development was bad.... but honestly perfect for the storyline. And that says a lot because I am a sucker for some good character development. Their characters almost go downhill.... but not in a bad way? They've grown and learned, but at the same time, they didn't. Towards the end, they lack communication skills, which is kinda weird since they used to have good communication skills but I can understand how they lost it because hey. He got famous and didn't have time for anything (which was actually so realistic, and I don't know why people thought that was annoying??). Overall, their relationship was super healthy.

True, the storyline was all over the place. It was mainly about PGBs and his family. There was that irrelevant side couple (which I admit I skipped their scenes). The best friend and his family were kinda just there. We didn't learn much about the FL. But I don't know. It kinda just fits together for no reason to me? Everything that everyone hates on in this drama I liked. I can't really explain it.

One big thing everyone hates is that the main couple didn't end up together. I was also disappointed, but I don't think it gave me a reason to hate the drama? I still loved it. And honestly, it made sense. He was a big hit; she wanted to become more than what she was, and they both didn't really have time for each other. No one was really in the wrong, although my heart did hurt more for PBGs character. I really liked that the "love triangle" wasn't really one because the best friend never told anyone about his feelings towards the main girl, and he never tried to get with her, which I also love. I hate when they make lifelong friends break up over a girl they just met... there is just no need for that.

I mean, I can see there were lots of plot holes, but it didn't bother me. As for the main couple, though, obviously, they weren't going to stay together forever, get married, have kids, and live happily ever after. That would be too unrealistic. It's just like the title. Record of Youth. A time of their youth that they will remember forever. A time of their youth that has helped them grow as an individual. Definitely a right person wrong time thing.

MY HOPE WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED

MY HOPE WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED . Iam really dissappointed by the ending episode.it was fun and interesting to watch upto ep 14.but the 2 ep after that is very disappointing.
the story turned to a bad vibe
it laged.
they could make it a good drama .but they completely distroyed and dissapointed the audience
it was so bad
i dont like the ending episodes.it was having bad story at the end.
ALL MY HOPES ON THIS DRAMA JUST FLEW AWAY
VERY DISSAPOINTING
IF THE ENDING EPISODES ARE CHANGED TO A GOOD AND HAPPY CONTENT,THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE GOOD DRAMA ON AIR.

What Happens When You Become a Famous Actor?

It is interesting to see all the various views and perspective on Records of Youth. Looking at the scores, it does appear one either truly enjoyed it or not at all. No grey areas here. For me, I found it profoundly enjoyable. A really good drama with a well written script.

I liked the way the director really took us into the story and characters, not rushed but was able to make me feel invested in each of their experience and journey. I was looking forward to every episode as Hye-Jun (Park Bo Gum) struggles to make it as an actor. The way he was treated before and after he became famous is like DAY and NIGHT, a complete change. The way he himself is unable to control his schedules and surrounding as his popularity gains momentum. The jealousy, the gossips, the competition, the family and friend dynamics, the paparazzi, the choices and even his young love. And when he does put his foot down with decisions, sacrifices have to be made. I liked that his character, though young, had a sense of confidence and maturity about him. These are truly what an actor/actress have to go through and live with. Wow, no wonder they get paid well and most marry late in their lives. Couldn’t help but envisioned what stars like Lee Minho, Kim Soo Hyun, Hyun Bin, Song Kye Ho, Song Joong Ki etc. etc go through. No wonder they try to keep their lives as private as possible.

I also enjoyed the acting of the entire cast. The script was so well written and it was especially good to see that each of them had a good story to tell.

The only difficulty I had was watching the relationship between Hye-Jun and Jeong-Ah (Park So Dam). It was just too polite and somewhat formal?? Almost like two best friends who do really look cute together. Being that it is about the time of youth, I wanted their love to be a little bit more exciting and demonstrative. More memorable?

In conclusion, the overall experience was very enjoyable for me. Loved this drama.

Cheers! K-drama Forever!

Um drama calminho, com um foco bem diferente do que eu pensei.

Embora tenha acontecido muitas coisas ao longo da história, tenho a sensação de que esse drama não me causou aquele impacto, sabe? Os personagens são ótimos, a trajetória deles foi muito boa - deu pra notar a evolução de cada um do primeiro ao último episódio -, mas o foco realmente não era no romance. O casal é bonitinho, mas em algum momento foi se dissipando e isso foi muito importante para retratar como é o amor na vida real. E isso, infelizmente, foi o que mais me desanimou. A história do Hye-jun é muito cativante, e foi a única coisa que me prendeu mais até o final: vê-lo conquistar seu sonho. Então acredito que minha opinião após assisti-lo é "gostei, porém faltou alguma coisa".
