Our Blooming Youth

One of the best historical Korean dramas of 2023, with a funny story which sometimes gives viewer the sad feeling so that you want to cry mixed with a mysterious and enigmatic genre, that attracted me so much

It's only flaw was that, despite the fact that it was said in the introduction that the series was romantic, its love aspect was very weak, and only in the last minutes of the last episode we see a little emotional and love scene so in my opinion, as a result , chemistry between first leads was not convenient enough I give this series a score of 9 out of 10 and I recommend you watch and enjoy it.

The first 8 episode just kept me hooked up. I can't even move my eyes off the screen. Each and every scene was played so well. Applause for all the actors and actresses and the satffs.

Park Hyung Sik, this man has never disappointed me and i hope will never too. His acting skills is so good from top to bottom. Love him and his character. He surprised everyone thru Happiness drama and this one is just another masterpiece of his. I still hope the ending won't be sad but a happy one. Others are also very cool. The mystery part is amazing and keeps me guessing and wondering. Hyung Sik oppa's this character reminds me of hwarang. Really missed his prince look and now its back....

Happy watching.. 💗💗

A nobleman's daughter played by Jeon So-nee is framed for murdering her entire family and she escapes with her handmaiden played by Pyo Ye-jin. They end up in the capital where they disguise themselves as men and So-nee ends up in the palace as a eunuch serving the Crown Prince played by Park Hyun-Sik and Ye-Jin work serves a nobleman who spends his time investigating crimes using a scientific approach. There is of course the usual palace intrigue with various factions competing to get the upper hand to appoint their candidate as the Crown Prince. The storyline has been done before but the cast do a great job and it is still entertaining and the relationship between the leads is a believable romance.

The story, especially the mystery aspect and how the protagonists figure it out and set things right, is compelling. The acting is remarkable, particularly those of the lead characters, Park Hyung Sik as the crown prince and Jeon So Nee as Min Jae Yi / Go Soon Dol.

Though it features gender-switching, a trope I'm not too crazy about, I don't mind it that much here as the characters who matter know about the subterfuge early on. And when you're wrongfully accused of murder, what could be a better way to hide while you try to find the real culprit?

The dedication of the crown prince to do what is right for his people is awe-inspiring. That scene where he is struggling between duty and love, between marrying the chosen crown princess or following his heart is so powerful I cried, though it is depicted so subtly with no tears shed, just his face showing his heartbreak. I also love how he chooses peace and forgiveness at the end instead of going all out shedding more blood to avenge every single wrong committed by the enemies.

The ending is lovely. I wish all dramas have endings as heartwarming as this.

Enjoying the first episode... Park hyunsik never disappoints. He is an amazing amazing actor and the story line is great... The episode is so scenic and colourful. Awaiting for the second episode. Please do watch.. it is a good show

Hyunsik is so damn handsome... After military service, he has become very hot. And the way he talks and smiles , he surely know how to melt hearts.

I hope this drama consists of enough mystery and romance so that fans would enjoy it... I have been waiting for the drama for a long time and now the wait is over.

Love you hyunsik please keep us blessing us eith your beautiful acting.
