Adored this BL
Before the drama came out, I was expecting the story to be an enemies to lover type story based on the synopsis. But my expectations were way off. This drama is a short and sweet watch and honestly you won't get really frustrated with the main characters. The cast fitted perfectly into their roles and with first time actors, the whole cast did really well especially Li Zhenhao who played "Ye Guang." Also another thing about the cast, is the visuals of the four main actors, all so handsome. I loved how throughout the whole drama we got to see Ye Guang and Xu Qi Zhang's chemistry grow from the first episode to the finale. Speaking of Qi Zhang's character, a huge green flag who was so supportive and a comfort for Ye Guang whenever Ye Guang was down. As much as I adored the main couple, the second couple I also adored as well. Even though I wished that Jian and Ray had more screentime together, but the last two episodes showcased them really well on giving them more screentime. As for the soundtrack of this drama, probably one of the best soundtracks ever. Both songs in the drama are really good from the opening song to the ending song. Yeah this drama may seem a bit cliche, but I mean what do you expect it's a BL drama, but overall this drama is a good start for first time BL watchers because of how simple and short the story is. I know that people may have other opinions on this drama but I really enjoyed this one. I know my ratings are a bit much, but make sure to watch it first before you read any reviews lol. And would I recommend this drama, yes definitely I would recommend it because it's so sweet and adorable. And if they pitch in for a season 2, I hope that all four main actors are down on doing another season of About Youth. So am I going to be expecting a season 2, probably not, but I am hoping for one if all four main actors say yes on doing another season.
