I loved it. I can't stop watching. Binge-watch until episode 6. Now I can't wait until the rest of the episodes are subbed. I don't know where's the hate of this drama coming from. I really liked it and uhm yeah, it helps that I liked Mukai Osamu. Been looking for a drama with him (his previous drama doesnt interest me at all). Yoshitaka Yuriko x Mukai Osamu small interactions make my heart felt. Sigh, the wait is truly excruciating.

A prime example of a drama that started out great only to be ruined by unnecessary fillers 7.5/10 for me

Le Coup de Foudre is the best, it sure is one of the best highlights for cdramas in 2019. Its soo much better than Go Go Squid (it has more story and depth). I can't say anything with Gank your heart. I go through episode 1 but I don't find it interesting no matter how much I like Wang Yibo, I think I will skip this one.

Yes! I think for me it was best until episode 16. And I was still okay until episode 25 though I fast forwarded scenes especially the side characters and backstories. Now I'm on episode 28 and I can't move forward. I don't think I can go further anymore. I just want to watch the last 2 episodes to get over this and finally make a review. Too bad, it really started out great. But their connection and their going into the relationship was too "fast" that it felt like they didn't quite go with the process. Since they get into the relationship, things were done then. No conflicts anymore. Just us, watching them lovey-dovey. Its the same with Put Your Head On My Shoulder. But at least with that drama, it didn't have so much side characters and uninteresting back stories to flash.

To each his own, both aren't great dramas but atleast I could finished Love o2o whereas I dropped Go Go Squid at episode 28. So many filler scenes and uninteresting backstories. I liked this more than Go Go Squid though both are so-so dramas.

Thats a great response! Thanks

Yes, you will miss Lee Yi Kyung but definitely, you will enjoy season 2 as much as season 1. Season 2 is way better especially the way cases are connected. Season 2 lost few original members, but they have gained No Min Woo, they have gained more tbh. Anyways enjoy!

I am having so much 2nd thoughts on watching this. Heard so many good reviews on the first 2 episodes but but...I don't really see Yeo Jin Goo fitting for the role, idk. I'm fine with IU but how I really wish they have chosen another actor for the male lead role. There is something odd I find on YJG, and sometimes he overacts and overuse his big eye shock acting plus he's still so young to play so many lead roles. He seems like a high schooler at all.

It may not capture the same feelings compared to the original version, still, the movie made me again for the second time, feel bitter with the ending.
Plus the main actress is a rookie actress and doesn't know how to convey proper emotions with her acting. They should have casted someone with more experience and a bit mature. She looks so young to be with Yamada Yuki.
Verdict: The Taiwanese version is far better than this.

Hello, can someone care to explain why did Nakama Yukie appear in this drama as a supporting role? I mean, ain't she a big actress enough to lead a drama? Thanks

@ episode 23-24 is such a twist. They are now making him move, stain his hands, and be a real bad guy. Though I don't believe that he killed his mom, there must be so much more into it. Can't wait for next week!

No, at least not yet, he hasn't done anything so far other than cleaning a mess. And I don't think writers will go as far as to make him a killer, but who knows. He's role is is the highlight of the drama for me though, without him, this drama wouldn't stand out.

I don't think its because of popularity, Eita, Tsumabuki Satoshi, Euno Juri, Keiko, Oguri Shun for example are all popular and big stars yet they sometimes star as supporting role whether in drama or movie. I don't know why they would cast big name stars as supporting and why would these stars accept it, haha. I guess, its just the way it is esp. in Japan. Also, maybe because compare to the other 2 counties mentioned, Japan has lesser number of actress/actors to offer for the role.

Yeah, I noticed that too and it often happens in Japan that an A list actor/actress will play supporting roles. It rarely happens in China and Korea.

No Min Woo is making Dr. K's character so interesting. He is nailing the handsome-cold-psycho vibe. I'm loving this drama even more because of him. I'm really glad he took this role. He suits this kind of role, hoping he will pick up more projects in the future.

This is one of the few dramas out there that went all out with the story (from school-to college-parting-work-meeting again-conflict-then settled with an ending). They have it phased by phased and unlike most dramas wherein conflict ended way too early - most theres like 10 episodes left and conflict ended and they have to fill it up with so many sweet lovey dovey moments, not that it ain't great, but too much sweet can cause diabetes, eeks! This drama has conflict going on that will make you still watch it until the end even though it gets tiring and cliche. I have two main problems with this drama though, the main actress' acting, and the execution of scenes and the way director cue's and cut scenes like you are still absorbing the scene and then baam, cut! If I disliked long pauses of most dramas I watched, then its the polar opposite here and to think most of those sudden cuts are the main leads. And the ending was a bit abrupt. In Love de Foudre, there were too many episodes for me, but in Wait My Youth, they lack the right length.
But I still stick out despite the bad acting and poor execution. The male lead's suits the bad boy yet a soft boyfriend type. He has a screen presence (though him and the female lead dont have that ump chemistry) and definitely one of the reason why I finished the drama aside from the story, yes the story. I love the premise of girl likes another guy and the guy likes the girl a little too late hence, the bestfriend has taken over - I have always been waiting for this kind of story.
8-8.5/10 for me

Le Coup de Foudre is > than the 2 dramas. But between Wait My Youth and Put Your Head, it all depends on your taste. Only if the leads of this show especially the main actress acted well, then I can confidently say that this one is better than PUH. Guess if its just between the leads, its PUH > WMY. Haha I dont know if I make sense, lol Anyways enjoy!

to be very honest, this drama hits all the right button. I have never seen such drama that has a slow-homey tone yet they delivered it beautifully. First love, family, sibings relationship, friendship - they have it. I was much more drowned to the family relationship of the female lead. The delivery and story made them so relatable that sometimes, I feel like I'm watching my own life with them. I'm a sucker of "past to present" dramas especially dramas that is set up 90's to 2000s, nothing is ever sweeter than going back to the young you right? Being in school again, having classmates, crushes, the environment, the feels. And these drama made me feel it AGAIN. It was like showing me reflections and making me realize a lot of things - things that sadly, I ignored before.
Just one thing, I wish they didn't drag the drama though. The drama dragged 10episodes towards the end. That no matter how much you loved a drama at the start, you will end up getting tired watching it if what they're showing is redundancy and predictable problems and sweet moments . Thats a problem if the producer tries so hard to stretch a drama, it loses its over-all quality. I believe they could have cut the number of episodes and focused more on the reunion of the two leads. I feel like watching a new drama in the last 10 episodes.
But hey! over-all I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the first 20 episodes so much and since they made me cry a bucket (exaggerated) in some episodes (which rarely happens), then this drama made among my top list. 9/10 for me

So Wang Yibo is third wheeling in this drama? If so, I badly want to see this.

The drama was nice, cute, fluffy, easy to watch. I actually liked it until ep.15. It was still okay onwards but I don't quite like it if a drama has no story going on, no conflict, lol I watch a drama because I want drama haha. Didn't liked Fu Pei and his GF love story. Actually, I skipped so many parts while watching this and just focused on the main couple. Honestly, if the skip button was not invented, I would've dropped this for its cheesiness and full of talks, thank goodness the male lead is handsome and the female lead knows how to act. The rating of 8.9 is too much but I can tell why many will score this higher.
Overall, When We Were Young is soo much better than this. 8-8.5/10 for me
