ABOUT YOUTH (2022)

[theweebwithgoldenhands]

A cute romance to go through the cold winter ヾ(•ω•`)o

 

ABOUT YOUTH (Romance/High School/Slice of life) 2022 – 8 episodes

Taïwanese BL

Rating: 10/10

You’re sulking because of the Autumn rain and the days getting cooler and cooler? Or do you feel like your life is plain and as tasteless as the rain you’re seeing outside every time you go out? Times like this call for a sweet high school romance, and About youth is THE drama that will enlighten your day! Enjoy the innocence of a beautiful love between two teenagers and their friends who try to find their place in this world for a beautiful journey that will lighten your mood!  

Ye Guang and Xu Qi Zhang have nothing in common apart from the fact that they go to the same high school. Qi Zhang has his eyes on Ye Guang but the latter only knew about his existence way later. Starting with a very caring friendship, the two boys will go through what life brings as hardship at this period of time with the most supportive attitude. Discovering love at the same time, the sweetness of their relationship contrasts well with the maturity and the depth of the one their two friends will experience together.

Exploring feelings of love through the eyes of inexperienced yet thoughtful young men, this drama gives a flowery touch through a story that has darker shades subtly hiding behind the bubble light of the plot. Very soft in appearance, it goes at the bottom of subjects as being a high schooler with expectations on their shoulders, with dreams, weaknesses, and a soft point for thrills that makes them do mistakes before they think. If the drama gives you mainly the softness and cuteness you are looking for in a high school romance, it also delivers just the right amount of spice and heaviness you need to make it interesting and well-balanced.

Adding to the extremely well-written script, the excellence of the acting and the execution makes it a top-tier drama that shouldn’t be missed out! Never giving you too much or too little, you will be yearning for that delicate yet simple sweetness the relationship between those two couples of four boys makes you feel during those way-too-short eight episodes.

Lovers of non-complicated romances that are more oriented on the feelings the couple will develop than the external difficulties they will go through, make yourself a big cup of hot chocolate and get that warm blanket you use for movie nights because you will need it: you won’t be able to stop once you’ve started!

Okay I just binged About Youth and I loved it, but I have a Problem. Why didn’t Ye Guang ever find out that Qizhang was his black tea angel?? Especially since Qizhang used the EXACT SAME KIND OF TAG for the soup that he kept putting on the tea?? And then eventually the tea just…isn’t a thing anymore?? It could have been super cute to have Ye Guang find out that Qizhang was the person leaving him tea the whole time!!

About youths ending was the gayest thing ever and I’m here for it 😂🌈

Round 1: Sean and White First Kiss (Not Me: The Series) vs Ye Guang and Xu Qi Zhang First Kiss (About Youth)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Sean and White First Kiss: "“This is the goal that keeps me alive. And so are you” like !!!!! Sean showing he trusts White to keep him from falling (issues with physics aside). The passion, the tenderness, the forehead kiss, the hug afterwards, the emotions, all of it is just so good. Off and Gun proving why they’re one of the best."

Ye Guang and Xu Qi Zhang First Kiss: "This is such a sweet and genuine first kiss! They're a little hesitant and shy, but still eager (this is no dead fish kiss). I love the way that they break into smiles as they pull away, how they both admit it's their first kiss. The whole series they've been pulling closer and closer, falling more and more, and this is the perfect capstone. And the setting is perfect, the quiet private rooftop, away from everyone else, sunset reflecting in the puddles that collected there. It's after the storm, and they've found peace (and a rainbow) with each other."

Fall In Love. 9/10

Story: 10

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Maids Revenge (cdrama) ; Cruel Romance (cdrama)

One of my favorite historical cdrama’s. It takes place in the 1920s (republican era) which is an unique era of a cdrama you don’t see many of. The storyline is executed excellently with just enough mystery, action, melodrama, and romance. The chemistry between the two main leads are brilliantly casted and oofing are they oozing with smexyness together. It does take a few episodes for the momentum to get into, but it’s overall an outstanding drama where you won’t want to stop watching. Warning there also is sensitive subjects of attempted rape and suicide.

''That was the darkest day of my life. I failed to be admitted to the first choice of my parents. I thought I would be the saddest person that night. But I met someone sadder than me. I guessed that he needed comfort more than I did. I didn't expect that he began to silently change my world after that.''

Link Click Musical Masterlist 🔍🌟

#音乐剧时光代理人# <- 'Time Agents Musical' main tag, pictures tab - shows majority of stage pictures in chronological order, updates from official Encore Musicals show up here too.

Tips: 1) Visit the OP's profiles! They usually post more than the one photo you can see in a thumbnail. And it's easier to browse & save pics through the profile.

2) Even though you can scroll the pics tab indefinitely, without a weibo account you won't be able to easily access older posts, as they'll get buried under the user's newer posts (there's a roundabout way mentioned in my guide). So I recommend to visit this tag frequently, if you wanna be sure nothing is hidden away 🔍 Daily or once in a 2-3 days will be enough imo, it's not very crowded tag ^^

3) ⬆You can also check videos in this tag, the orange tab has 10 most recent clips from the musical (other one has the most popular ones).

接着奏乐接着舞Musicals (Encore Musicals) <- official profile of a theatre that runs LC stage, they post the cast schedules, photos/behind the scenes clips, whenever new actor debuts, there's a special guests or a cast member has a birthday. They also report when an actor goes on a health break. Tip: all LC actors can be found in the pinned post (you'd need OCR 'image-text' tool to copy their names from pics though)

Encore Musicals Bilibili account <- theatre's official profile on a major cn video-sharing platform (more bts clips)

动画师lan <- bonus link to studio LAN profile, that's where they post the mysterious animation frames~

校医来啦 <- profile of a chief producer of LC Musical, Chen Xiaoyi

A few actors for supporting cast don't have a tag bc they seem to be newbie actors and/or have very small online presence

Tips: 1) Without a weibo account you can scroll through the actor's tag only up to abt 45 most recent posts. The actors perform in multiple plays (duh) so non-LC photos will show up too.

2) Imo the most optimal method, so the limits won't stop you is: go to the main 'LC musical' tag and see what's new. Check schedule for the cast lineup in a recent performance. Go to the actors' tags to see what's new.

3) Sometimes there are 2 performances on a same day, with different actors. So don't be surprised if you find mixed lineups under one date.

4) Mostly QL and Lin Zhen's actresses post behind the scenes photos on their personal profiles. Don't bother looking up the guys accounts, unless it's a holiday or their b-day >< From what I remember, only Wu Yihan posts abt his cat. Zhang Jiahao and Zhou Bobo post selfies sometimes. Ji Xiaokun posts his own photography (he's good!).

5) Google translate, however broken, is enough to translate the captions, so use it for context✨Ppl sometimes give their reviews titled 'repos' from the stage they've seen 🙏

6) You'll find more musical related clips under the actor's tag, than in 'LC musical' main tag. It's usually in an actor's fancam, but not always. Useful when you like an actor or there was a particular moment you want to see from a different angle🌟👌

7) The clips tab (one in the middle) under the actor's tag has no time limited access. You can browse and watch the videos without issues!

______________________________________________________

I'll try to add missing tags when the actors debut 💪 And if you find any mistakes or a broken links, please let me know 🙏 For those who read it all, here's a present ;>

光时 <- bonus Shiguang ship tag, they're just like us fr (but way more horny on main), there's lots of art, from cute fluff to nsfw djs >>

OKAY that's all I have🎉
