I read in many places from people who read the webtoon that the BL plot is not between the male leads actually…
There must be a Director's Cut, alternate ending version because it really feels like they wanted to "go there" but couldn't just because of TV restrictions/expectations lol Ugh!
Let’s not coddle JE as some sort misunderstood little puppy. JE is a grown adult & his actions are pretty obvious.…
There was zero character growth from JE. We don't understand why he is the way he is other than "Oh, he's hot, so it's to be expected that he gets a lot of p---y." They even say exactly that in-series.
Many people feel cheated by the ending. The "love at first sight" that Jae Eon sold to Na Bi, in a very schemed…
I feel like they threw in that specific "moment" in order to justify the ending they wanted. As if it that makes up for 10 episodes of no character growth that absolutely does not support that ending.

What's even more interesting is they modified the source material and basically transferred the plot to our main character, yet didn't follow through with the ending they were obviously heading toward. It's very strange.
If they weren't going to stick to the theme of the webtoon they shouldn't have tried to make them seem like it…
Honestly, it wasn't even just a "hint." I think they were pretty direct in showing that there were romantic feelings between the two all series all the way to the end of the final episode. Which is why I'm so confused as to why they intentionally included all that direct and overt implication and not just "go there." It's like they reach the finish line and decided to just not cross it at the end of the race.
This is a great drama. A mature, slice of life and coming of age drama. Definitely refreshing from the other recent school-centered dramas that are much fluffier overall.
Obviously, there was an opportunity to do something completely out of the box (for Korean television) with the two male leads. All the pieces were there. Not just their amazing chemistry, but IN THE WRITING itself. Nonetheless, it was still a wonderful series.
Anyone know the name of that product Yeo Joon uses on his face, like under his eyes and stuff? He let Soo Hyun use it once too. I assume it's a product Park Ji Hoon endorses, but I don't know what it is. =)
i think you should read this https://www.soompi.com/article/1478083wpp/ji-soos-legal-reps-share-update-on-lawsuit-against-sexual-assault-accusations-accuser-admits-to-lying
They're not going to read it. People who judge someone else without even knowing all the facts never admit they might have been too fast to condemn someone . It's happened many times before in the Korean entertainment industry.
I'm both happy and sad about the news today. Happy that the accusations were false. But sad that someone would actually go that far as to make up lies to destroy someone else's life like that. Even more disgusting are the people who rush to judgement without knowing all the facts AND refusing to admit they were wrong to jump the gun even after knowing more information.
I'm just hoping Ji Soo has good support around him, that he is healthy (especially emotionally) and he has learned from any mistakes he's made in the past. Just hoping for peace for him and anyone else involved.
This drama is a tribute to the victims of Gwangju Uprising and to those people who lost their loved ones at that…
^^^THIS VERY MUCH. A lot of the comments here really gloss over the fact that the series is about the Gwangju Uprising and how it affected the lives of the people of that time. Comments about how characters should've done this or ended up like that. Umm... this is literally a realistic and historically-based story. People lived and died just as it was depicted here. And this is only just one of thousands of stories about Korea in May 1980.
It was sad ending from the start Tho it was predicted by fans that the skeleton would be of the main leads not…
The "old bum" being the soldier Kyung Soo was so emotional and really perfect. I wish they actually gave him more to do during the series to represent the soldiers who obviously didn't agree with what they were being ordered to do. And the obvious trauma that they might still live with today.
Can someone tell me the ending please? i won't watch the rest, sounds too heavy for me
The female lead dies while saving her little brother from the soldiers. Sadly, her body is not found until it gets dug up at a construction site in 2021.
Really a breathtaking series. A beautiful, heartbreaking look at one of Korea's darkest periods with great characters and an amazing cast. Baeksang 2022 gonna come calling for Youth of May.
Is there something there open to interpretation? I kind of want to believe so just to make sense of the very contrived ending.
