Whenever I watch a TV show or read a piece of literature, I'm not usually so inclined on focusing on the protagonist or a series of protagonists. I prefer when the story has various complexities and give sufficient backstory about minor characters. This usually gives a huge dynamic to the storyline.
This particular Kdrama, Record of Youth, is one of such shows that got me captivated and also made me curious to dig into the backstory of so many characters. The more I got to understand why each character (both major and minor character) acts the way he or she acts, the easier it made it to be fascinated by their dynamics.
By the end of the day, I can't help but notice that this Kdrama tells a wholesome story about the struggle of people in their youthful age and the series of things they have to go through in their attempt to contend with life and make a name for themselves in their chosen profession.
The storyline is different from the usually Crime and Action kinda stories I usually add to my watchlist, but I have no regrets after watching this. The production crew did a really good job and each of the characters did an amazing job of portraying their roles and relaying the emotions unique to their characters.
As you binge-watch this Kdrama, it will allow you to see the world from the perspective of young lads who are pursuing their dream in the entertainment industry. Their family background and how they grew up affected how they dealt with challenges in their youthful age. I don't think that's a surprise though. It's fairly understandable.
This qualifies as a family Drama. It's the kinda drama you can sit down with your family and watch without feeling awkward about any erotic stuff. If anything, I can guarantee that there will surely be lessons to learn from this Kdrama. Lessons that can be applied in relationships between families. Young lads can also learn some things about being relentless in the pursuit of success.
I've read some comments about the family scenes being boring, but I don't buy into that narrative. For the record, the most interesting dynamics in the show has so much to do with each of the families. Lemme quickly give you a caption that best explains what to expect from each of the families;
Hye-Jun's Family = Poor
Jeong-Ha's Family = Divorced parents.
Hae-Hyo's Family = Rich and Pampery.
Jin-U's Family = An average family.
This Kdrama paints a good picture of what life is like for young lads from these family backgrounds and the struggle they have to contend with in their attempt to walk on a path that will lead to a dazzling future.
I have a high rating for this show. Check it out.
