Age of Youth Episode 3

So I feel like a womance is going to develop between Jin Myeong and Yi Na. If this was a US show or UK I'd say they actually become a couple. Which I'm actually cool with either way.
It's so cute that poor Eun Jae can only see the bullying of the guy. Not that he likes her and actually moved some of those girls out of the way for her. Even cuter is how she looks up to Ji Won! Ah!
Poor Ji Won though. She's awesome, but I guess confident and outspoken (AKA loud) girls aren't that popular in Korea. Sometimes they can be intimidating. I hope she doesn't change herself and will find a guy who loves that about her.
I appreciate the frank out look that Yi Na has on her lifestyle/job. Also, I'm very curious to see more of her male friend that's in the same line of "work". I hope she doesn't move out, I think she realizes that it will change something completely if she does. It's refreshing that Ji Won and Eun Jae don't really care about what Yi Na does. Overall it doesn't bother them. (That we know of.) Ye Eun is just one of those nosey characters who deals with their unhappiness by picking and bullying on others.
The ending was rather creepy, but I don't think that guy is a stalker. Instead I think he's a private eye or police officer. The talk of aurous and ghosts feels odd, but it is a good tool to hint that all the girls have secrets to be revealed.
Episode highlights for me: When Yi Na was reminiscing when she was naïve and said that guy was "dangerous" thinking back on the guy in the sailor getup! Girl sailor getup! Ha-ha. Also, that kiss! I love that the one thing the boyfriend asked about was if there was tongue.

I've long ago learned never to judge someone by first impressions and that everyone is human. Most likely that person isn't rude, they just are afraid to say what they think. They're not cold, they're shy. There's always more to a person and in reality in many ways we're all alike and vastly different. It's confusing.
I love the idea and concept of this first episode being Eun Jae as the fish out of water. New experiencing can be scary and everyone has to know when to jump back into the water. Just having the courage to say something can be hard. While other's don't even blink and can take the plunge. I know I'm one of those people who get's super nervous. But I always make myself speak up. It might be scary, but life is usually better when you have voice.
This first episode is (hopefully) the model for this show. I love the realistic aspect of it! All these girls are so fun and real. It's true when you're rooming with strangers they are strangers. You need to speak up. Hopefully you'll live Stranger Ville and start entering Friendship Zone. The reality is with strange roommates you may never know each other or become friends.
I'm very curious how the relationship between the characters will grow. While we don't know a lot, and we're just at the stereotype phase of development, I think it's a very promising cast. I'm really excited about this drama and I'm pretty sure my MDL friends are right that this was exactly what I was looking for.
(Ye Eun's boyfriend antics are gong to be source of much giggling I'm sure!)
Eun Jae is definitely a character I want to cheer on! I want to see her grow and I love that she already is sticking up for herself. I want to be there for her journey as she becomes stronger and can face life with more courage. After all finding words for yourself and using them is hard, it's just matter of the degree.

I really love the humor in this drama!! It's going the stereotypical way of dramas with the general plot, but it's kind of making fun of it. Which helps it out a lot.
Not to mention that they're spicing things up with murder!!! Ah, I don't want that character to die.
I think that's why I love this so much the drama is making fun of drama tropes and using it's humor and pacing well.
Not to mention that Joon Jae and Shim Chung are starting to get some chemistry. Up until now I just felt like the chemistry was just from their Joseon era characters.
The slow reveal and hint of things is also hard to stay patient for. Is Shim Chung that old and she chose to forget things? Or is she a fully reincarnated mermaid that is here in the future. I thought maybe the reason why her present day scale colors were different was because she was that old. Though I'm starting to think reincarnation might be it. She did act pretty surprised when she had legs on land in the present day.
It's so cool to keep guessing about it. Though I thought the cut in for the Joseon timeline was really off from where we last left them, but after a bit I realized it fit as they skipped it from the last one. (Yeah, totally confusing but I don't know how to explain it.) Poor Nam Doo's past life! I cried out for him. I'm wondering when we'll meet Tae Oh's past life? It's so cute that Tae Oh thinks Shim Chung is cute!!! How could he not!
I loved the ending scene this time! Not only making fun of dramas, but it was a pretty sweet scene. Heck even the extra at the end was making fun of dramas. It works.
The Eastereggs where really good again and I can't wait to spot more.

Shim Chung is so amazing! I love how trusting and naïve she is. Even though she's clearly been through some stuff in the Joseon era. It's also interesting that history is repeating itself. I'm holding my breath for the dramatic, and most likely tragic, reveal from the past of what happened.
This episode I liked Lee Min Ho's acting a bit more, but I don't feel like he's hitting his full potential. (I know he can do more! FAITH!)
This episode focused on surprise cameo's and easter eggs for the fans. Also developing the side characters and Joon Jae's family ties. The family drama is building and I'm sure will be coming hard soon.
I love the connection Shim Chung has with the little girl! Apparently even from the Joseon timeline. I really hope she will be involved more. The ending is an over done trope, but they got a keep things dramatic and rolling. I'm wondering how they'll spin it.
That said Jeon Ji Hyeon's facial expressions when Shim Chung finds out that she's home alone with Joon Jae is priceless! Hands down one of my favorite moments of the entire show. It was just so devious and wicked!

Okay, so while it was happening I was so heart broken, but totally relieved that if they were gonna go there they'd go THERE. Oh, well. I wanted the Happily Ever After.
This episode showcases all the couples: Do Kyeong and Hae Yeong #1, Lee Ji Sang and Park Soo Kyeong, and lastly Anna and Park Hoon. I am appeased and satisfied. I especially loved them all hanging out together and interacting. I wish there could have been even more of that in this drama.
Again I love the relationship between Hae Yeong #1 and her parents. It's wonderful.
Props to making the side characters have such wonderful screen time as well.
This was a great way to end this series. Even if the whole thing with the singer felt really shoehorned in and oddly like an after thought. Yet, I feel like it was supposed to be part of a bigger love letter in the drama itself.
Either way, a great ending.

This is my first time seeing anything with Chen Baron in it, and his hair blows me away! It's just so amazing. Oh, I foresee a super actor crush coming on this guy. Yeah, I agree with Pi Ya Nuo's girl cousin and male friend that Du Zi Feng (actor Chen Baron) exudes yumminess.
This is probably one of the best start up episodes for a gender bender that I've ever seen! I love that it didn't waste anytime and smoothly introduced all the players and the circumstances. Bravo! I think this is going to be a beautiful, and fun, obsession. I adore gender benders! I also love that the girl was raised as a guy from the get go. So she can take care of herself and is already super outgoing. The conventions of being a woman are left behind. Not to mention that actress Lai Megan shockingly is one of the more convincing crossdresser I've seen for the gender bender genre.
The best part is that the story is set with older characters. Pi Ya Nuo is going to be turning 26 soon. I love that it won't be taking place in high school. Even better this has gangsters!!!! Oh, my goodness. To of my favorite genre tropes in one.
So in my mind: gender bender + gangsters = awesome fun times
Coolest thing is the way the LOOOOOOOVE story is being setup. So they can synchronized fight together. Ba-bump! One believes in giving for being helped and the other for helping and not receiving. Oh, tangled ideals. Ba-bump. Pi Ya Nuo needs some to set her heart a flame so that she will want to become a woman in 99 days. Enter sexy wind blown hair. Ba-bump. Sexy shooting times--with some minor gun safety and where to point it (no that was not a sexual innuendo)--that totally means they have to get up close and personal. Ba-bump. Du Zi Feng was saved by a girl when he was younger and he wants to *wink* pay back his dept. Why who could that girl be that he still has the beret? Ba-bump. Accidently dancing together and then the ACCIDENTALLY KISSING!!!! *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
Oh! This is gonna be fun.

Okay, so that's why the fans and actors keep gossiping about having a second season. It wraps up nice enough and gives us a solid ending. However, it also sets up a whole knew A-mazing idea for a plot.
I have to be honest I was worried after the last few episodes starting doing immediate scene flashbacks. Not relying so much on the acting and kind of trying for more time. This final episode was flawless though. I love how Hae Yeong and Soo Hyeon find themselves in alternate timelines and how they go about realizing it.
What's more is the message that there is corruption, but there will always be those people who chose to fight it. Never give up. This for me has been one of the best dramas of 2016. Heck, one of the best period.

Okay. Okay. My heart breaks with Soo. So has jumped off the cliff of nice guy/charming prince to villain like that. Man didn't even blink. The power totally corrupted him right off. The amazing thing is that the writers have done such a great job that I understand what Soo is doing. Sadly I don't condone it.
It feels like his cruelness was always lurking there. But he understood the cruelness that he suffered from and wouldn't go there. He would protect those he loved. He may not have lied, but he wasn't forward with the information. I'm sure if he told Hae Soo why her friend was leaving she would have been okay with that. Instead he let Hae Soo lead her to death.
How cruel. This episode tore me to part. I still can't believe everything that happened. The villains became the victims and So became the villain. Why is no one even thinking about 9th Prince being the culprit. He has his fingers in everything, that was his servant.
Anywho, I am torn. That was crazy. I was soooooo moved by So saying "You are my only queen." Then I was totally cheering So on when she said "I want it."
These last two episodes are going to be intense.

Well played Wook. Well played. Poor Soo Hae, in order to keep her freedom she had to scar herself. Though really? Is that tiny cut from before the issue? Pretty sure her legs and knee have plenty of scars from being tortured. That's probably the real ammo there. Perhaps even Wook doesn't want to admit how bad the royal family has misused and treated her from the beginning.
Though to be honest isn't Soo Hae already in a golden cage? Even with the moments of happiness shown, she can't fully be with So. He is King. He is no longer with her.
It saddens me how after failing Soo that Wook is so heartlessly attacking her. Shame on him. That amongst all the other stuff should truly state it best. He only wants things he can't have, and once he can never have that person then he suddenly can hurt and throw them away.
I'm actually cheering the 14th Prince on. Soo should go with him. He plans to only have her and he wants to save her. He has a good heart, even if he cant' always see through things. At the very least Soo should just want to leave the palace. Love kept her there, but happiness is always fleeting.
Not to mention So totally creeped me out here. Not to mention that the 13th Prince's romance is on the edge of a cliff and he doesn't know he should be watching out for someone pushing him off it.

He's doing it all just for the power. That's all it is. His lame excuse that he is rising to power to protect her is a joke. A total joke. There's no way he couldn't get dirt on Madam and totally turn the table around. The whole scene with him "faking" it with his daughter to look like a horrible dad was sooooo awkward to watch. There's no way the writer could redeem him.
Poor Anna is surrounded by evil people, and has had the unfortunate circumstances of bad parents. Ones who's life choices have ruined hers.
Anna's character is really grating on me. It's not the actresses fault. It's the writing. Madam is definitely the more interesting leading lady.
The previews again make it look like Anna may have more to do than freak out and cry. Here's hoping. Not to mention that Je Ha looks like he's gonna be super cute.
This episode was a bit of a drop in quality, especially with how things are connecting. Oddly enough I'm enjoying the political games between Madam and Gwan Soo the most. Is it weird how much I love Madam? Strong woman? Check. Villain? Check. Can hold her own and give as good as she gets? Check. I'm kind of in love.

This episode should have been more appealing to me. Anna definitely has more time and there's background development. Even Je Ha and Anna have more time together towards the end. The sad truth is I spent most of the episode really bored.
It also bothered me that she brilliantly escaped and evaded everyone, but couldn't do that at the beginning of the series? Really. -_-
The problem is all the "hints" about Anna and who her mother was were so heavy handed that it wasn't really a mystery. Though I give props to Anna for trying to find out the truth . . . or at least doing something. It's just all given away already so there was no mystery to solve. Though I'm sure some people haven't guessed it yet.
Really I actually liked the scenes with Madam better. She's a very A-mazing female protagonist and antagonist. I find her so compelling. Especially as she crushes on Je Ha. Don't worry Madam Cougar we're all aware of what you're suffering from. Je Ha called her a friend? (Bet she melted on the inside.)
It's really sad that finally there some Anna time, but it's so dull. All of the other characters that have been established hold my attention more now. Hopefully now that Je Ha and Anna have officially re-met again things will get more compelling. Clearly she has to quite wanting dad and simply want freedom? Right? Because dad gave her the cold shoulder. Je Ha needs to confess that her dad had no idea where she would go. (I think it's a front he's putting up for Madam, but it would be more interesting if he really didn't care. Just wanted her hidden. So many places to go with that.)
Side note why was Madam crying during the song? Dark secret to be revealed? Oh, and I loved the flashback scene with Anna dancing with her mother. Such a beautiful moment and tie in.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
I love it when I call a plot "twist" I just knew he'd end up working for "Madam" because her enemy would be his!!!! (I read/watch a lot of things.) That's great because I'm really interested in this. Because Madam had some serious creeper vibes when she gazed at Je Ha. No, I won't lie Je Ha and Yoo Jin (AKA Madam) have some chemistry. They're playing well off each other: hate, curioustiy, and so much more. It's all very intense.
That ending was super interesting. Was it just his fantasy? If it was real how will he escape the consquences?
As for the cast the political games are interesting, very-very. However, I feel like Je Ha is very predictable as the world weary hero. His character has been done before. Ji Chang Wook is what makes the character interesting. Hopefully in the future the character will become more than that and not just be cool because of the actor.
Poor An Na. All she does is scream, cry, and freak out. If I was the actress I'd be annoyed how little my role actually required and was up to this point. The weird thing is that the previews keep trying to make An Na look like she has more to do in each new episode. Honestly she has to have more to do in the next one right? I hate watching nothing but crying scenes. It's a strange choice by the writer (and director) to not want to show other aspects of their female lead. It's an odd choice to have her have such little use up to this point. Besides being the imprisoned damsel. -_-
This episode showed a bit more promise. What really needs to happen is to develop the leads more! Give An Na something other to do than cry all over the place. Ji Chang Wook has been a great thing to watch! Let's hope his character is more. (Props for kissing scene already. Sadly it was a freeze one.) Actually I have to give props to most of the actors, especially the other leads they're doing a great job. The writing may not be there yet, but man are they bringing it.

Going in to episode 10 I was very fearful. I thought things where gonna hit the fan in a big way, and that we had hit a turning point after the forced kiss. Personally I hate forced kisses. However, I give the writer and director props. That moment when So realized he had done something wrong. Then when he says he doesn't think like others and he wouldn't be sorry for it. Well played. Even later when talking to the 13th brother he mentions that he doesn't think the same as everyone else. When you're a friend or potentially something more, his emotions for you are intense. So doesn't have an in-between. Again. Well played.
I do like seeing how Soo is handling her romantic love triangle--well technically there are two other princes who dig her, but they don't really count and they are being handled well.
Oh, that moment with Wook! It was beautiful and I'm so happy about it. It makes me so sad that we're up to episode 10 and So side of the triangle really hasn't been developed. So much time and emotions have been setup for Wook and Soo. Sure we can argue for So, but it's true.
In the end I did find this episode a bit duller and the plot to be . . . not that great. I see where things are turning. Right now I think someone needs to knock off the Queen and Princess. End the scheming right there! After all everyone else is just a pawn. The previews for the next episode are scary! However, it's a silly ploy as we know that So and Soo can't be killed off. That's why the plot is dull, though from mean people kind of leaking spoilers I think I know where it may be going and I do like that. Soo shouldn't be so sure that So is going to be the killer. A lot of people are going to be wronged and ticked soon. Who knows how many people will end up seeking vengeance?
I bet the role of second wife will be looking really good soon.

Boom, that's how Xiao Nai the Boss, the Great Master, does it! Loved this episode. Truly moving things along in a great direction. Especially as there are only 2 more episodes left! Holy, cow!
This is the closet I've come to binge watching anything since Healer. It's been a blast.
I love all of the fabulous character moments here. Oh, and did anyone else see KO's eye twinkle? Look out Hao Mei.
All of Love O2O's sounds/music were on display here and I adored the music during the presentation when Xiao Nai and bros crushed it!
Even better is that the school's number one beauty, AKA one of the villains, grew from the experience. Can you believe that? Too awesome. I feel like her cousin is headed that way as well.
Great episode! (See Wei Wei has warmed up, she totally ran joyfully and unreserved into Xiao Nai's arms.)

So last episode review I was praising the drama for letting them be separated realistically. So now here's the big pull in with Xiao Nai cleverly paying for her ticket and interning her. >_< Oh, well. Even a realistic drama can only handle so much reality!
Either way I'm happy because it was the lead into the first kiss! Boom! Though to be honest it wasn't quite what I had expected. First off all Xiao Nai was no cold-y. First kiss. Um, he really is the master.
I get it was Wei Wei's and she did that whole fished shocked thing. I just thought . . . she might warm up to it? Her embarrassed reaction is both cute and odd. But I guess she's use to things not being physical. Smart move on Xiao Nai's part to not leave her alone with her thoughts about it. Who's the awkward one now? (Though she was more moved by the hand kiss!!!)
Either way fun episode and I liked it a lot! I love the cliffhanger from this and can't wait to see what happens next while they're cleaning. I hope Wei Wei warms up enough so that future intimate acts, whether it be a hug or kiss, doesn't feel so awkward.
