Record of Youth

This is one of the simplest kdrama na light lang, pero alam mo yun, ang wholesome lang and at the same time, I must say, mature type of couple relationship.

Sobrang nakakakilig ang boy next door image ni Sa Hye Jun. His looks and character dito, hayy. Bogummy yarn eh.

I really relate a lot on Ahn Jung Ha's character. She's so practical, and at the same time, kung pano sya mag isip, kuhang kuha ko sya. The way she's being conscious sa pwedeng isipin at maramdaman ni Hye Jun. Even though she wants more of Hye Jun, rational siyang mag isip and hindi pinapairal yung pagiging masyadong "emotional". Dun ko nakikita yung side ng pagiging matured nila sa relationship nila. Also, I also like the fact na si Hye Jun talaga ang gusto niya even though she knows that Hae Jyo also likes her. Firm siya dun and talagang she managed to still be friends with Hae Jyo, no awkwardness at all. Friends lang talaga at hanggang doon lang. Awit kasi sa ibang mga plots na nagwewaiver yung feelings ni girl pag may ibang guy na nagcocomfort or nag aalala sa kanya. hehe

Eto yung kdrama na magpapakita sayo sa realidad ng relationship. Na hindi porket mahal niyo ang isa't isa, magiging smooth sailing ang lahat. There will come a time na makakaapekto ang ibang aspects ng life, one of those is yung career. Unlike any other dramas na cliche ang nangyayari, na ipaglalaban nila yung love nila and all, dito, di nila pinilit yung relationship nila. When they felt na something's wrong, and nagiging magulo lang ang lahat, they chose to let go, and rather, be the best version of themselves on their chosen paths. This may be sad, kasi diba, bakit kailangan niyong maghiwalay kung mahal niyo naman ang isa't isa. But maybe, in this situation, love just ain't enough.

Then after ilang years, they meet again, and ayun, naging okay naman na. This is also one of the many stories na magpaparealize sayo na "Some things just really needs and takes time." And kung kayo talaga sa huli, kayo talaga. Ayieeee! 💗

Gusto ko lang din iadd dito how I love the friendship of Sa Hye Jun, Won Hae Jyo & Kim Jin Woo. Ang genuine 🥺 Yung tipong lahat ng tao sa paligid nila, pilit silang pinagkukumpara sa isa't isa. But on their own, they do not see each other as someone to compete with. Real frienship.

Pati pala yung relationship ni Hye Jun with his grandpa. Eto nakakaiyak dito ehhh. He was the only one who stayed with him at hindi nawalan ng hope sa kanya. He's the one who pushed him na ipagpatuloy lang lahat and comforted him when everything was all messed up.

7 K-DRAMA GOOD GUYS WHO ARE HOTTER THAN BAD BOYS

It’s time for the good guys to shine!

K-dramas are a bit notorious for featuring male leads who start out as cold and rich bad boys, but end up changing after falling in love. Let’s be real — guys who are genuinely good from the beginning are so much more attractive. Thankfully, recent K-dramas have kept up with the trend of having more good guys and making them super appealing. Check out some recent good guys you’ll fall in love with below!

Ki Seon-gyeom from Run On

Run On’s track star Ki Seon-gyeom (Im Si-wan) appears to be a bit socially awkward at first, but he’s cute once you get to know him. Seon-gyeom is caring and makes his feelings for Oh Mi-joo (Shin Se-kyung) obvious. In addition to his swoon-worthy words and actions, Seon-gyeom doesn’t hesitate to make the difficult decision to stand up for Kim Woo-sik (Lee Jeong-ha). Seon-gyeom often places other people’s needs before his own, and he sticks to his convictions.

Han Ji-pyeong from Start-Up

Start-Up’s Han Ji-pyeong (Kim Seon-ho) could easily be misunderstood as a typical cold male lead. However, he’s truly a good guy in every way. Ji-pyeong isn’t aware of his growing feelings for Seo Dal-mi (Bae Suzy) at first, but he’s always looking out for her. Even after realizing his feelings for her, he never burdens Dal-mi and doesn’t make her uncomfortable. His sweet relationship with Dal-mi’s grandmother is so precious as well. His nickname is definitely “Good Boy” for a reason!

Nam Do-san from Start-Up

Nam Do-san (Nam Joo-hyuk) was also a very good boy! While he struggled about the truth behind the letters, Do-san always does his best to help Dal-mi. How adorable was Do-san when he gifted Dal-mi’s grandmother with his hand-knit RGB-colored dish sponges? Furthermore, he even developed a brand new app to help her visually impaired grandmother. A good boy not only takes care of you, he takes care of your grandmother too!

Sa Hye-jun from Record of Youth

Record of Youth’s Sa Hye-jun (Park Bo-gum) is such a pure character despite his difficult circumstances and the industry he works in. Hye-jun is very loyal and trusts the people around him. Even though his best friend Won Hae-hyo (Byeon Woo-seok) is more successful than him at first, Hye-jun doesn’t get envious and feels truly happy for his friend instead. As a celebrity, public scrutiny should be a concern, but Hye-jun always cares more about the people he loves than what the public thinks of him. He just might be an angel in disguise.

Moon Gang-tae from It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

It's Okay to Not Be Okay’s Moon Gang-tae (Kim Soo-hyun) is another studly and empathetic character. He started taking care of his older brother from a young age, and gently cares for his patients. When Ko Mun-yeong (Seo Yea-ji) is intent on harming a patient, Gang-tae blocks her knife with his own hand. Even when Mun-yeong's romantic obsession with him gets annoying, Gang-tae still takes care of her and helps her heal. He’s also thoughtful and careful not to lead Nam Ju-ri (Park Gyu-young) on. 

Cha Eun-ho from Romance is a Bonus Book

Romance Is a Bonus Book features Cha Eun-ho (Lee Jong-suk) as an accomplished writer and chief editor who has been in love with his long-time friend Kang Dan-i (Lee Na-young). Eun-ho eagerly helps Dan-i every way he can after she has nowhere to go, following her divorce and eviction. He’s her biggest cheerleader and supports her efforts to re-start her career and life. The way he embraces her with open arms not seeking anything in return is clearly a good guy trait. 

Park Saeroyi from Itaewon Class

Itaewon Class’s Park Saeroyi (Park Seo-jun) has such a good heart even though the world, especially Jangga Group, has not been kind to him. After being wrongfully expelled and convicted, Saeoryi does have revenge on his mind. However, he goes about it the wholesome way and seeks to establish a business more successful than Jangga Group. He’s truly kind and gives marginalized people a second chance. Saeroyi’s father undeniably taught him well.

A lesson from Record of Youth!

We all know that it was not the satisfying ending we expected but we have so many lesson learned from this drama. Started from Family, Career, Friends and Relationship. It was ended in a simple but dramatic scene specially when Sa Hye Jun and his father talked about past misunderstanding it was so satisfying to watch, i barely control my feelings when his father  started crying and when he says “Shall I give you Hug?” Damn! I really love Sa Hye Jun personality towards to his family it was so smooth. He’s not vocal even to his parents but he’s so defendable I really like his role. It was so Park Bo Gum hahaha.

Anyway these drama portrays everyone’s hidden desire to be a successful while working on their dream career. Keep Fighting and be strong believer that you can achieve anything at any age.

Record of Youth Friends...

What do you think???

"Many fans had a problem with how Ep 16 ended when it came to Hye-joon and Jung-ha's love story. But, from the get-go, I was always made to be in the know through the storyline that Record of Youth was never meant to be a love story. It was supposed to be a love letter to the confused youth, who get thrust into reality and have to fend for themselves while fighting for their dreams. In life, it's not always a 'happy ending' and that's not always a bad thing. Some relationships have an expiry date, not because the pair didn't love each other, it just wasn't the right timing or came in between a much larger goal."

Why Park Bo Gum & Park So Dam starrer Record of Youth's ending was never meant to be a typical 'happy ending'

In the past few weeks, every time my mind ponders over Record of Youth and what it entailed after 16 episodes, I go back to Adam Levine's l

Itaewon Class

Itaewon Class showcases the battle between Park Saeroyi (Park Seo-jun) and food conglomerate Jangga Group. Saeroyi gets expelled from school, loses his father, and becomes a convict because of Jangga Group’s CEO and his son.

The callous and intelligent Jo Yi-seo (Kim Da-mi) decides to help grow Saeroyi’s business. Along with the other DanBam crew, the pair fight back against Jangga Group.

Many humorous, embarrassing situations befall the six characters as they are sometimes forced to do things they don’t want to do while they pursue better opportunities.

She works hard to become a historian while fighting gender stereotypes.

She’s an admirable character who stands up for what she believes in even if it means going up against the king. Be motivated by her bravery to pursue your dreams as well!
