tvN Mon-Tues Drama Record of Youth Heads into Finale Week Succeeding the Most with Impressive Guest Stars and Veteran Casting Coups

This Mon-Tues wraps up Record of Youth and during the drama airing male lead Park Bo Gum has reportedly finished his basic training already en route to enlisting in the Navy. He hard carried this drama but there was still too much dull chemistry with the weaker costars around him, but the brief shining moments to help liven the mood in each episode were the impressive top stars who cameo’d as well as bringing back 90’s top actresses Ha Hee Ra and Shin Ae Ra as the moms. Each guest star made an impression with me and made me wish they were part of the cast including Park Seo Joon, Seo Hyun Jin, Lee Sung Kyung, and even Hyeri. Knowing the history of Ha Hee Ra and Shin Ae Ra, how popular they were in their 20’s and how each married top actors in the industry Choi Soo Jung and Cha In Pyo, respectively, only makes their roles as the frenemy moms here so much more fun and meta. Too bad the central conflicts were soooooo uninteresting sigh.

  • I want to say, "It wasn't that bad," but then I remember it was, so I hang my head in shame because I completed the entire drama.

  • I already knew what i'm getting into knowing the writer for this drama.
    I already expected that it's going to be slow and dull.
    But overall I think the drama is alright but I think I probably felt that way because of Park Bogum. He did hard carry this entire show.
    Also, it's unfortunate that I feel like he has more chemistry with the cameos(Kim Hyeyoon, Seo Hyunjin, Lee Sungkyung) than with Park Sodam's character XD I guess it does not help that the Jung Ah character is written to be so bland.

  • I dropped this drama after watching 5 episodes. I don't get the chemistry among the actors and the plot is just so-so.

  • I only watched bcoz of the ost's (I especially like "shine on you".) I actually started watching it when seo hyun jin guessed.

  • Drop the drama and never go back not even for camoes, even though i like them but i won't be fooled by the carrot dangling.
    Good that PBG is in the military band that he applied. Not much chance to perform during this pandamic time.

  • I love this drama from the beginning. It's so relatable and the actors are so natural, not overacting, especially Park Bo gum. There are so many lessons learned such as with family relationship ,friendship, and love. I'm sad it's ending.

  • I also like the other cameo, Seol In Ah who acted as PBG ex-girlfriend.
    But her appearance in several scenes/episodes make it look more like a supporting cast hahaha.
    Hoping to see this charismatic actress gets casted in some other drama in the future.

    • I love Seol In Ah. She was the main character in Beautiful Love,Wonderful Life. You should definitely check it out. So worth it

  • Its a good drama for me because of park bo gum l love him and how he portray the character it is great to watch?

  • Park So Dam is more perky in Cinderella and 4 knights.... she is so slow in this series and her acting is dry, is it because that's how the directors wants her to portray? bad directing? give her a chance! Park Bo Gum is the best. he is the life of this drama. Let's see more of his best in his next project.

  • Park So Dam wss so bland and lifeless i wanted to shake her many times. she put an invisible wall btw her and Park So Gum that i wanted to ask who put this bad acting on stage . So Gum had to work extra hard in their scenes she was just too bland i think she had a better chemistry with Hyeso with his dreamy sexy eyes and quivering lips
    Jia was a more passionate character than she was. Its either she was attracted to So Gum in teal life and she did't want it to show or she just got the role wrong
    it was very poor acting simple! maybe directing too. i almost stopped watching because of her . Park So Gum is such a fine actor keep it up continue to reach 4 the stars??????
