THIS IS HOW PERFECT MELODRAMA WAS MADE!
For me, this is the best K-drama of 2025. A coming-of-age, slow-burn melodrama laced with subtle comedy, it takes you on an emotional rollercoaster—heartwarming yet heart-wrenching at the same time.
Directed and written by the minds behind two of my favorite melodramas, A Piece of Your Mind and Run On, the storytelling feels effortlessly natural. Every scene flows with purpose; the emotions linger beyond what the realistic dialogues and delicate character dynamics can express.
There isn’t a single weak performance—the entire cast shines, even in the smallest roles. Their synergy brings the world of My Youth to life. The stunning visuals and perfectly chosen OST elevate the atmosphere even further. I truly cherished every moment, every line, every gaze.
And that ending—
“I hope we meet again, somewhere, many times.”
This final line beautifully redefines what it means to say goodbye. It encapsulates the heart of the series: that youth isn’t a period of age, but of emotional courage. Every farewell holds the potential for reunion—whether in this life or another. Through that, the drama captures the essence of youth itself: fleeting yet eternal, fragile yet strong, always worth remembering.
★★★★★ — An unforgettable masterpiece of tenderness and time.
