PLEASE GIVE US ANOTHER SERIES THAT BOTH OF THEM ARE THE MAIN CAST

Recently I'm more into Japanese bl series' since I'm a bit bored and almost every plot in thai bl has been repeated. I really enjoyed watching japanese bl since the aura and the overall boot of the story is mostly cute, but this series " OUR YOUT" really exceeded my expectations, the cast , the story, the plot, the acting, everything was perfect, not to be a bit over exaggerating but I'm just starting favts, it was actually fresh since this was the first time i encountered a series that has that kind of plot. The acting was natural and the chemistry was there. I HOPE WE CAN GET ANOTHER SERIES' FPR THE BOTH OF THEM PLSSS😭

I REALLY LOVE THIS!!

Another good JBL has given to us!!! I think some parts of this story is familiar to me, it's from a jbl that I've watched before or a manhwa, but still it's so good. Their stare and chemistry are 💯💯 You can really see their love through their eyes, its like they are really connected with each other. There are scenes that is cheezy for my likings, but its kinda okay to me, even though I'm not a fan of it HHAHAH. I think other people will enjoy it, that's why I still given thus a 10/10. Japanese BL are so good, I hope they continue on creating masterpieces like this one.

UNFORGETABLE, SMITTEN

This is the first Jbl series that I'm giving a 10 rating. It's that good! I'm drawn to its touching, gorgeous storytelling, at times brutal and yet filled with so much tenderness... beautiful production and cinematography, great ost, unforgettable scenes, top notch acting, the actors playing Minase Jin and Hirukawa Haruki are just perfect in their roles with sizzling chemistry leaves me with a warm lasting impression long after I finished the show, that I had to rewatched. There's a line in episode 3, after beaten by his father, Haruki waited for Jin, he asked purposefully, "If I get hit, will you feel sorry for me again?" such rawness and desperation on Haruki's part for attention, Jin's orderly life started to unfold and slowly being intoxicated as their relationship develops. And in the very next episode, another scene, (Think it's a first for me) Haruki's response to Jin's cold, "Infect me" before he dived in for a kiss, Astounding! As if it wasn't enough, Haruki licked his hand afterward... I'm speechless. Sorry if I spoiled some viewers' joy but believe me, there are many beautiful poignant scenes, all 10 episodes plus 1 special, you will be spoilt.

Soft and quiet

Let me just start by saying I was in the middle of this drama when the Kamimura Kenshin news dropped, and unfortunately it really did affect my enjoyment of this show by a lot. I sped run the last half. I'm trying to separate those emotions from my review of the show, but I just have to admit that I didn't like it as much as I think I normally would've.

I think the beginning was kind of rough. While I love the premise of a romance between a misunderstood delinquent and a good student who just tries to keep their head down, the amount of random and unprompted kissing in the first few episodes felt a little abrupt and confusing.

Over time, the characters and story definitely grow on you. I think the cinematography is great and the vibes of the show are really warm. The actors have good chemistry and the dialogue is really insightful and thought-provoking, and it's overall pretty well-written, with some really dramatic plot points that somehow manage to never feel over-the-top. The plot unfortunately does fall victim to the break-up and separation trope, and while I don't think it's completely out of left field here, I still didn't love it and I feel like their reunion should've been slower, even knowing that there's limited screentime.

Best JBL of 2024

This series is an absolute masterpiece! From the very first episode, it grabs your attention with its stunning cinematography every frame is visually breathtaking and meticulously crafted. The electric chemistry between the characters is palpable, making their interactions feel incredibly authentic and heartfelt. The acting is flawless, with each performer delivering powerful, nuanced performances that bring their well written characters to life. The story is deeply emotional, with perfect pacing that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Every episode builds beautifully, creating a narrative that’s both engaging and unforgettable. It’s the kind of series you’ll want to rewatch over and over, noticing new details each time. Without a doubt, this is a must-watch and a standout gem of 2024!

Our Youth: My #1 BL Show

I can honestly say this is my #1 favorite BL show of all time, and has left a lasting impression on me in a way that no other show ever has! I truly cannot recommend this show enough - it ticks every box for me. Junsei's and Kenshin's acting (as well as the supporting cast's) is incredible, the soundtrack is perfect, and the plot is very strong from start to end. The directing is breathtakingly beautiful in a way that I rarely see from shows, and I think the directors and actors deserve a lot of credit for both the romantic scenes as well as the heart wrenching and raw ones.

The story depicts the beauty, love, suffering, and fleeting nature of gay love, youth, and life spent together, and the show's honest portrayal of it all will certainly leave its mark on the viewer. I started watching right after the 11th (special) episode finished airing and every night I would rewatch the past two episodes before starting a new one. Watching Minase and Haruki's journey is incredible and left me reflecting on so much after each episode and days after finishing the show. Overall, I cannot recommend the show enough and "Our Youth" definitely should not be missed.

The only criteria I didn't rate a perfect 10 out of 10 is Rewatch Value, because while I will absolutely will rewatch this show (probably throughout my life), it left me with intense bittersweet emotions. It's not an "easy" rewatch in my opinion, you will be sucked in to their story and if you're like me you will be stuck in your feelings again.

Beautiful

One of the most beautiful shows i have ever watched BY FAR. The story was the absolute perfect mix of heartbreaking and heartwarming. 10/10 would recommend !!! From the OST to the simple backing tracks every piece of music was perfect. It doesnt over exaggerate anything while also not under-exaggerating anything. Kenshin & Junsei did an absolutely amazing job! Hirukawa deserved nothing but love and that's what he got. 🥹 It felt realistic the way Minase slowly realized he had fallen for Hirukawa (& vice versa). Onice again, 100% do recommend!

This is one to watch...

This is not going to be like my other reviews.

This review may make it seem like I didn't like this, but I first want to say that is not true. I really liked this one... but...
I have to rant about this...

That one teacher should NOT be a teacher!!! Who the hell do you think you are saying that crap to Hirukawa like that? He is your student, you shouldn't say thing like that, teachers are supposed to help their students not belittle them. I just wanted to jump in the show and beat the every loving shit out of him. Not just him either, alot of people, even the kids...what the hell is wreong with people... the sad thing is, this is not make belive it happens in real life as well, well I'm not 100% sure about the teacher thing, but the rest yes.

Another thing I thought the kissing they did could have been better. All they did was put their lips together, they did't kiss. They both did a great job otherwise.

End of rant. 😀

Edit: Ok the last ep (11) they did I better job at the kissing.

ABSOLUTELY LIKE YESSSS

This show was revolutionary. It was so sweet and deep and emotional at times. And you MUST watch the 11th episode like honestly.

I really do love how it maintained the flow of being realistic but also kept the clear feeling of love between them constantly developing (this is especially apparent in the kiss scenes) please watch ittt. And I love the actors as well they’re so sweet and funny when it comes to reviewing episodes and stuff.

10/10 all the way

i mean. no notes. this is how you do a delinquent x smart boy drama.

the vibes and tone of the entire thing are also immaculate - the characters' struggles were quite nuanced and at times, relatable. it's the typical two people from entirely different worlds with different struggles meet and clash, but eventually fall in love storyline, but i appreciate how it was done here. the mini timeskip was particularly appreciated, as well as the epistolary nature of the entire narrative.

sometimes, we need time to grow and recover, and sometimes, the right person can always find you again, but in a better and healthier time. great drama!

One of the Best Adaptations in 2024!

It’s easy to get lost in our own lives—to become so consumed by what’s happening to us that we feel like we’re drowning. And the people beyond the waves? They become distant, even frightening, especially when one of them shines like a beacon of light, someone we’re afraid to approach for fear of extinguishing their brilliance.

This feeling of being lost, afraid, and yet yearning for something outside our own experience is precisely what the Japanese BL Our Youth captures so powerfully.

Adapted from the webtoon by Hi Nun, Our Youth follows model student Minase Jin (Motojima Junsei) and delinquent Hirukawa Haruki (Kamimura Kenshin) as they navigate a turbulent youth defined by violence and loneliness. Their lives are like a choppy sea where no one expects them to cross paths—let alone to become each other’s anchor in the storm.
