I'm not often so impressed by a drama that I write a review in recommendation of it. But Age of Youth is definitely something special.

Age of Youth has an interesting and engaging story line that doesn't really drag at all. It's very well cast and well acted. Especially the five girls. Some (one) of the guys didn't impress me so much, but everyone else was fantastic. I like how character driven the drama was rather than being entirely plot driven. By the end the girls don't feel like character tropes, they feel like they could be real people.

The OST is full of really fantastic and well chosen music. The music fits the mood but never overpowers. I find a lot of dramas have that one repetitive song that's either super addicting or super grating or that kinda becomes a part of the idenitity of the show. Age of Youth the background music stayed in the background. That was actually extremely refreshing.

What impressed me most is it's entirely female lead. When I read the synopsis for the first time I automatically put it on my Plan to Watch list. While it isn't strange to have an ensemble cast in a drama and have multiple "leads" with their own individual fleshed out arcs, it IS a bit out of the ordinary for the story to center almost exclusively on a group of female characters. And that's not unique to Korea either. It's fairly out of the ordinary even in western television. Sure we get little glimpses into their romantic and sexual relationships, but that's really not the focus. The focus is on their relationship with each other. The series portrays female friendship in a much more realistic way than most other media. That alone is worth watching it for, if only to say "We want more like this."
