I chose to watch this because of the interesting historical period it represents. As a European, I didn't know anything about Gwangju uprising although it is quite recent history.

I agree with most other reviewers that the production is great, acting is generally good. Leading couple has a great chemistry and the main villain is even more frightening than in Crash Landing on You. So I would have liked to give this more stars. I just hope they would have had better script.

Plot: Story based on Gwangju Uprising incident. Which is shown through the eyes of children, soldiers, medical staffs and students.

There are some movies/dramas/books which are so beautiful that you dont want to watch/read it again. You want to live with that same emotions which occured when you watched/read it for the very first time.

Youth of May brings you that same feelings.

You will get drowned in all the emotions and trust me its chaotic. You will need sometime to get over this drama because it is so beautiful that it hurts and its overwhelming.

Now, coming to the acting of this new age actor Lee Do Hyeon, you can tell that he is a hardworking actor who loves acting, he has delivered a masterpiece which dont create by a lazy artist... and as per John Ruskin "when love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece".

This drama is a masterpiece!

Please dont miss it. They dont make such drama often.

My favourite quote of the drama: "Give him the strength and courage to continue to swim through life without sinking when the tears that he shed alone rise to reach the neck."

PS: It is very easy to get absorbed into Go Min Si's deeply expressive eyes. What a fabulous actor she is!

Wow... I really don't know where to start... First of all, the historical background is just perfect, everything is perfect, the actors are just too good! If u like crying a river this is the show for you, I've never cried so much for a kdrama, this is definitely on top of the kdramas I've watched til now, I mean... the drama is real, it's heartbreaking but still, the romance is beautiful, all the characters are so very well developed, just watch it and cry.

THE LAST EPISODE DESTROYED ME. AN HOUR STRAIGHT OF CRYING 😭. Such brilliant acting and visuals, great characters that even got backstory which is unique to kdramas lol. Lt was predictable at moments but the ending made me forget how to breathe (in a sad way).

This drama has to be one of the underrated. This is a must watch. All cast members did an out standing job!!

I have to warn you even though this drama has romance in it. It is really sad. There are many parts that will get you very emotional and leave tears in your eyes.

Go Min-si as the leading female role was amazing!! Lee Do-hyun As the lead male was outstanding as well. Their acting skill were top notch. I can feel all their emotions.

This drama is more than just a live story. It's about fighting for what's right, what you believe in and all the struggles you have.

Truly a must watch. You won't be disappointed.
