I was on board with both our leads. They were both super charming in their own ways. Our ML seems carefree, but he’s deeper than that and pays attention to those around him. Our FL seems like the standard prickly character type, but you see her softer side when she’s dealing with her brother or her friends.

Not sure what to make of the body found in the present time. We’ll obviously get to know who it is at some point, but seems to hint at the melo to come I suppose.

The beginning tells me this is going to be a tragic ending. However, our leads are adorable. they both seem kind especially our FL. That being said, that restaurant scene was WRONG, lol.

I loved the first two eps! I'm already so invested with the main couple. LDH and GMS's chemistry is popping as always. I also loved Heetae's character so much. I need me more of these chaebols that aren't a-holes (i also love tsunderes but time for a change I guess heh).

As much as the first eps were cute, I bet we're gonna be in for a heartbreaking tragedy as teased in the beginning. And I'm here for it.

@sailorjumun I’m here reporting for Lee Do-hyun Fan Club duty!! 🥰 Hee-tae and Myung-hee are going to be one of my favourite couples (and are sure to break my heart 😭)

Really liked both episodes. There were a lot of characters but the set-up was clear and well done. Haven't seen Sae-rok in much but she was perfect as Lee Soo-ryeon I thought. Lee Do-hyun was charming as always - impossible not to fall for him.
I realised only after I started watching that it's only 12 episodes. Which might be a relief after a glut of 20 episode dramas. Also I'm not sure I'd be able to take the inevitable tragic angst for too long. I just know LDH is going to leave me in tears again.

Omg your recaps are as good as the episodes!?? Absolutely loved the tone they've set in the first two episodes. What I like best is that the show sticks to these individual's perspectives. Everything we see is through their eyes. And that also keeps the focus streamlined. Now for the more important stuff...weeeeeeeewee...Lee Do Hyun is just marvelous as always and I am so eager to witness the messy relationships..a love triangle maybe? And I really hope the baby brothers will become great friends.

We rarely get to see a drama set in this time and usually if we do, it's one for the books. The premiere week definitely delivered, especially our main lead. The moment they shared the screen together, sparrkksssss! Chemistry is off the charts!

Angst may be looming in the coming episodes but I'm willing to go through it with our main OTP. Bring it on!

Guys I loved the premier. Lee do hyun and go min shi are so freaking adorable together. I was so happy that hee tae came to soo ryeon house and greeted her while smiling at myung hee..swoon.

I loved it, and it's only been two episodes! the teasers looked promising and I'm so glad it delivered. The chemistry between LDH and GMS is so good! I loved their first date where she tried to get him to be repulsed by her but it only backfired haha, I'm trying to enjoy the cuteness for now because I know it's going to get pretty sad soon :(

I wasn't really fan after the first episode. The opening with the discovery of the skeleton was morbid and the way they introduced the characters plot was confuse.

The second episode was better, I like the couple even if there were too many slow motion moments :p

I was surprised they didn't say the sex of the body, it's one of the first things they can know about it just by watching it.

My own only theory for upcoming episodes: Hee-tae will be arrested due to alleged participation on one of the protests. He will release 41 years after jail.

Now, for the music section, I felt the Youth of May soundtrack felt like either mixed originals or covers or else the licensed songs around during its entire show's run.

I have been waiting for this show since I first saw the storyline being advertised. The opening week did not disappoint me AT ALL!!

Great leads, complex 3D side characters with stories of their own, a solid - albeit tragic - setting... This show has everything going for it. Fingers crossed. 

I lost count of the number of meet cutes there were in these two eps, and not just between the OTP! LDH is such a charmer. And I loved that the leads all seem to be good, kind people, just caught up in their own little situations. 

I'm sniffling a little already, at the prospect of the tragedy to come. But I'm here for the ride. 

During second episode...:
1. There's subtitle under Madonna Fashion but in real life during 1980, singer Madonna did already hit underground (i.e. after met famous French male disco singer Patrick Hernandez) or before her charted hit days (i.e. she was a member of band The Breakfast Club before their pre-hit) just two years before her fame with the Everybody era (1982).
2. During 1980 South Korea, it was the entire university courses were boycotted by goverment-funded professors, means all classes are cancelled and some were deferred from graduation. They might shut profs' doors and report any facts.
3. Wow... there were so many blind dates and of course, a national and a junior (military?) sports festival that included the Spartan training teams.
4. We have a notable mentioned food menu for this episode: jajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, ramyeon, kimchi, New York steak
5. No more jaywalking. I knew it was like a normal law that anyone using sidewalk and its rarely one of Kdramas with the jaywalking issues although it was a brief hinted jaywalking PSA.
6. Jung-tae's mother was a mistress?

I am so excited after the first two episodes!
I keep telling myself it’s going to be tragic but I can’t help all these feels. Hae-tee is just so swoony with his little acts and smiles. I love that he knows. No misunderstandings. Yay!!
All the characters are interesting.
I need to see the rookie cop more. He is a cutie :)

Hae Tee father gives me the chills. (He is the same actor from CLOY right??)

Love how the girlfriends tackle the date, ha! This has the same feel as Girls’ Generation 1979 which I also loved. Retro romance is its own genre.

The chemistry is already off the charts and I’m fully invested in our main leads. Hee-tae is so sweet during the dates. Myung-hee is a much stronger woman I am for trying to get rejected. I 100% would’ve given up after the first few times because Hee-tae is just too swoony (...not sure what that says about me).

Of course, I realize this makes me fully vulnerable to the inevitable pain and tears, but I am prepared. *reaches for tissues*

Also, I’d be remiss not to mention it, the cinematography is gorgeous.

From sibling (Sweet Home) to couple? I'm so ready for this! Will definitely catch up the episodes later😍.

I liked the premiere, but not loved it.
I will give it another week, because OTP is super cute and it's only 12 episodes, but I need something more.

I watched the first episode yesterday night. I liked the set up. It reminds of the movie Taxi Driver, which I loved and recommend it so much.

It is not an easy topic to discuss, to make a drama of it, so I am gonna stick around for more.

Why did I wait so long to watch this? It's beautiful already. There are so many references to the actual events right from the beginning. It's weird to get your tiny smattering of Korean history from films, but every time I see a taxi, I'm reminded of A Taxi Driver and the barber scene reminded me of The President's Barber, both with Song Kang-ho. The actual taxi driver only passed away recently. I'm already bracing myself for what is to come. That generation fought hard for a democratic country, and it's not such a long time ago. It's such an emotional time for people who are very much alive.

Why did MH’s friends open her letter for her? That’s quite rude of them, isn’t it? 🙄
