I became a total fan of this drama within the first few episodes and I had so much fun finishing it. We got an authentic cast mostly consisting of women which is totally great because it is the cast that made this drama this refreshing to me. I mean it when I say the best thing that stood out to me were the dynamics between the women. Even though each of them is unique and totally different than the other they came together and created such a nice harmony. Their personas were relatable and refreshing, especially Song Jiwon, I wish I could be her friend she's so much fun. What more can I wish for other than their support for each other and sisterhood. Although they often clashed in some areas of life, in the end they still stood by each others side and build this support system everyone should follow.
Seriously though ... this is what I have been missing in dramas recently. I needed this whole female cast that tries to juggle personal issues, carreer, romance and friendship together. The creators approached females as humans that are not perfect WHICH I LIVE FOR. Farting, investing a lot of time into looking a certain way, having body hair or for example the fact that Eunjae has some sort of social anxiety is a great topic to touch upon. Personally, I felt the most for Jin Myeong's character. The hardwork she put into everything while trying to keep her problems to herself and basically following a "life plan" she came up herself even if she isn't sure if that's what she wants to do. It was nice experiencing her perspective on working hard for a career and reflecting on life. On another note Park Jaewan is a total keeper. Bless this man.
However, that doesn't mean "Age of Youth" was completely flawless. For instance I noticed problematic scenes that involved slut and fat-shaming. It didn't take up a lot of screen time and I didn't pay much attention to it since the girls supported each other overall but the fact they still included such hateful scenes made me sad. If I had to name one thing to improve about this drama then I would chose to take out such scenes.
All in all, if you're down for some honest youth and a female cast consisting of adorable and fierce women then this is for you.
