Phs_fans Mar 20 2023 1:57 pm I love this drama sooo much. Love park hyung sik too, always... Hope happy ending for main lead. Fighting ???

angel Mar 20 2023 8:46 am Love it so far. The story is good.

Kiminotodoke Mar 19 2023 9:19 am The female lead’s (“FL”) acting is not good. Should have casted a better actress for the role. PHS acting is excellent, as usual. I just get distracted everytime the FL is there. Only watched until ep. 4 as the FL pissed me off.

Indy Mar 18 2023 9:45 pm Wtf? 20 episode of drama with story only going in circle of ghost letter? I am quit

LJ Mar 17 2023 7:37 am Does anyone know the actor who played Jang Chi Su? Ga Ram’s cousin? He’s not included on the cast above but he seems like to be the funny gang leader in Strong Girl, Bong Son.

Iaaly Mar 16 2023 8:08 pm It is okay to watch every week to relax and not too heavy or hardcore plot

Bonita Mar 16 2023 1:04 pm I just watched 4 eps. So far the plot is good. Also, the palace setting reminds me of Love in The Moonlight.

Beza Mar 15 2023 12:38 pm Good job

Pikachu Mar 15 2023 11:44 am Myungjin can know the cause of death by looking at a dead body but can't understand that eunuch go sun dol is a woman... Nice mastermind

Abadan Mar 13 2023 9:28 pm The romance very very mehhhh, the romance genres should be change it, yeah ML have feeling for FL, but i feel FL like confused and don't want focus on romance, i hate the poster of this drama, kind a like the leads have the deep romance, but it's turn out no romance untill now, will drop it if next week still no romance things, i don't like genres write the romance and the poster not relatable with this drama

Frida Mar 09 2023 8:27 pm Good story. Not predictable. Good acting. One of the best this year. Enjoying every minute. The cast is on point.??????

Olayinka Mar 09 2023 1:16 am Can't wait to see the mastermind

winnie Mar 08 2023 10:05 pm So far, this drama Our Blooming Youth story is good.

The Crown Prince and Jae-Yi are starting to fall in love with each other. Unless the writer is going to write Princess Hayeon and Han Sung-on (Jae-Yi's arranged financee) marrying each other and Han Sung-on starting having feeling for Princess Hayeon after their married.

The interaction between Crown Prince and Jae-Yi is fabulous, two persons loving each other, as having common interests between them.

For Jae-Yi's friend Ga-ram and Kim Myung-jin, they are compatible.

Skata Mar 07 2023 7:49 am This drama is very nice to watch! Delightful! I'm enjoying every second. <3

Minnie Mar 06 2023 10:09 am What an absolute delight! This is a must watch show. The chemistry of the lead pair is extraordinary, it literally jumps off the screen. Park Hyung-sik is a remarkable actor and brings so much depth to his tortured character. So-nee is a firecracker and hilarious. Their friendship and kinship is potrayed beautifully. The story is gripping and I hope the upcoming plot twists do justice. If they can make a successful end to the series, this wil become one of the most rewatched dramas on the web.

Sab1987 Mar 05 2023 9:20 am I’ve watched tons of kdramas, and this is definitely in my top five!!! Love it! Love it! Love it! ?

Mauzola Mar 04 2023 8:04 pm I think kim myung jin is mastermind

Jane Aloe Mar 03 2023 7:58 pm I started this drama because Park Hyung Sik is in it, he’s such a talented actor. I keep watching because this drama is amazing. the writing, production, music, and the ENTIRE cast are all absolutely stellar. If you're debating giving this drama a chance do it. 10/10.

Joshuarenealvarez Feb 28 2023 10:27 pm Our Blooming Youth is one of the best K-dramas of 2023.

Tin Feb 27 2023 5:49 am I think this drama will have a stretched out and stressful storyline cos from the beginning of the drama the female lead is already engaged to the crown prince's friend and they keep showing us that she likes the crown prince's friend before she met the crown prince but at the same time they are showing us that the crown prince is falling in love with her. I think we can only hope 4 a situation where the writer and director do their job well to fit how the story is progressing cos unless if the writer and director do a good job because from the storyline we've seen so far this drama might end up giving us the viewers some sort of headache/heartache. It would not be a big deal if the drama wasn't historical (Josoen Era) but it is and so far historical dramas make a huge deal out of issues like that... So All we can depend right now is for the writers and directors to develop the drama in a good way for us viewers

Daisy Lee Feb 26 2023 8:58 pm Park Hyung Sik really good at portraying as Crown.Prince. I love the story

Julia Morgan Feb 25 2023 9:53 pm Such a thrilling show all the cast is amazing and beautiful. Can't wait for more episodes.

Sedef Memetsik Feb 25 2023 6:27 am So excited for the next episode :) I really love it!!!

avante Feb 25 2023 1:54 am 2nd lead syndrome alert lol even the story is have similarities with The Forbidden Dream. the detective things to investigate the serial murder is fun to watch! Hyungsik, Jungseok & Taeseon's acting were all good~ actually Jeon sonee acting is also good, but her appearance is kinda not match with the character.

Bon Feb 22 2023 3:43 pm I’m not surprised the rating is low because it’s bland. Not showing enough the character of the crown prince, the main lead actress is too feminine to be a boy ( short, petite and skinny) and her acting is not convincing enough. The whole thing is always like a play than a movie.

junejia Feb 22 2023 11:12 am Hey why the rating so low? It's a good draaamaa and Park Hyunsik aura makes my heartbeat fast ? ? ?

Dep Feb 22 2023 8:57 am Why it just 2 in a week... beh, and it's aired on Monday and Tuesday night, when my eyes already 5 watt only...(sigh). Love the story,the plot,the misterious murder cases... Too sad for the chief Han, hopefully he found love ?. Btw the cast 2nd ML in Forbidden Marriage only cameo in this series.. become the 'lover' of Jae Yi....

Poolah Feb 19 2023 4:04 am The couple with the doctor is also the couple from 100 days my prince lol

Idon'tknowhowtodance!!! Feb 17 2023 8:45 am After watch this drama the stroy remind me the forbidden marriage. Another sad boy again but add 2nd female lead i just wanna see pyo yejin here. 20 episodes isn't too long? Hoping not bored T_T

seina Feb 16 2023 10:24 am after watch 2 episodes the plot is likely similar with The Forbidden Dream?? female lead who was supposed to marry the 2nd male lead, but ended up marrying the 1st male lead.. she disguised herself in the palace as a eunuch/servant because she's on danger and all her family dead. The main plot is kinda same (they just added some story background and it turned little bit different) lol

Makne-chan Feb 15 2023 10:14 pm I dont know but i like Ga ram and that crazy doctor more lol... theyre too cute!! XD

Sofie Feb 14 2023 11:25 am This drama is a breath of fresh air just like the FL, Jeon Seo Nee. I see the chemistry of our main leads and I'm just excited on how this drama will developed in its coming episodes.

Snail Feb 13 2023 11:14 pm Jeon So Nee is doing great as a lead actress! In fact everyone is doing a great job and I'm enjoying each episode so far!

Diana Feb 13 2023 4:07 pm I consider that is sad to focus on comparing the two actresses instead of enjoying the drama and the charm that every actor has to offer. Also, Jeon So-nee is doing a great job in the drama and it is unfair to take away her merit only because Pyo Yejin is more experienced. Everyone deserves the same chance to grow and it would be great if we would be wiling to embrace this. Very beautiful drama! Let’s all enjoy it to the fullest!

trizki Feb 11 2023 9:13 am the female lead is not as familiar as PyoYejin, it should be her though. Pyo YeJin has more experienced, even in the popular drama as like VIP, Taxi Driver, Whats Wrong Secretary Kim, etc. Its kinda sad

iwanzz Feb 10 2023 10:06 pm beautiful and white glowing pyo ye jin is back. damn, she should be leading actress, she is good in acting, more experienced and more gorgeous to me than other actress anyway still happy seeing her back, and she has other drama Taxi driver 2 too airing this month hehehe

Dianna Feb 10 2023 3:49 am Very good enjoyed the story , the leads are very good

KL Feb 09 2023 12:17 am Female lead is soooo good. I’m blown away by her smart and witty while desperate princess warrior role. And need not say more about our crown prince. His acting has always been underrated.

Birangzkie Feb 07 2023 8:13 pm Wow... 20 ep.

Geovana Feb 06 2023 8:44 am Waiting anxiously for today's episode!! Ready to see a great drama... Good luck everyone <3

Eriejaa Feb 05 2023 5:53 am This plot story is strangely familiar it's but nevertheless I'd love to see Park Hyung Sik slayyyy in this dramaaa

Api Jan 31 2023 9:11 pm Park Hyung Sik is the most successful actor-idol now among his same age idol actors speers! Hwaiting this drama! I trust this drama is amazing hit for tvN!!!

taehofan Jan 31 2023 11:41 am park hyungsik always looks good in traditional clothing

Ardentfan Jan 29 2023 10:45 pm Jeon So Nee showed off her skills in A Hard Day and Encounter. Glad she's getting a big role and catching up with Go Minsi, Kim Dami and Park Ju Hyun.

Hope Jan 27 2023 1:46 pm Eagerly waiting for this drama

Der Jan 12 2023 1:04 am I’m so excited for this drama! I’ve wanted to see Park Hyungshik in a new saeguk drama because of how atrocious hwarang was. I haven’t seen Jeon Sonee in anything so I’m excited to see her acting too. She is beautiful!

CpCats Jan 11 2023 4:38 am Omg I'm excited for this one! Park Hyungsik is one of my faves and I love sageuk drama the most.

KST Dec 28 2022 7:49 am Hope this will be amazing !Cannot wait to see Park hyung sik!

bimil Dec 28 2022 3:49 am omggg can't wait for this?? park hyung sik?????
