From now on, Age of Youth will take a special place in my heart. Coincidentally, I have 4 best friends just like in the drama, so while watching it, I could relate on a whole other level.

This drama revolves around 5 flatmates, their struggles, love stories and every day life living together. The story is a refreshing slice of life and super realistic, not to mention the ever changing relationships between those girls. I guess that's what we, females, are: feisty, sisterly, weak, independent and courageous. Personally, I could relate to all of the characters, even though they are completely different and unique. In addition, I couldn't pick a favorite female lead because they had so much to offer personality wise. The other actors in this drama were so talented and they acted everything out so naturally too.

I kept on putting off this drama because I'm a huge sucker for anything romance and overly fluffy scenes, and I kind of knew that this drama wouldn't offer a lot of that. Surprisingly enough, the friendship theme won me over. Romance is still on of the main genres in the series and I had my favorite couples here and there, but believe me when I say that the comedy was top notch. Personally, I shed a lot of tears as well. When you live through so many emotions, then you know that the drama series was worth your time!

Another element that I just have to mention is the musical track of Age of Youth. From the very beginning, you can sense that the drama will have some sort of a French theme, with the apartment's name "Belle Epoque" and from the first sight of the landlady who is such a Parisienne. The OST includes not only Korean, but many English and French songs too. The music creates such a melancholic vibe and fits the storyline with the characters so well!

Overall, Age of Youth will now be on my top drama list for many reasons mentioned above! It makes you treasure your girl friends even more after the amazing end. Now, I'll be heading to watch the season 2 because I still can't get over it!
