Should I Watch

 

Our Blooming Youth - Full Review

“Our Blooming Youth” is a historical romance with a gender bender element.  It has the usual greedy, power hungry villains and lots of political intrigue.  Many of the plot elements are fairly predictable but it is still fun to watch the story unfold.  This drama kind of rides the line between a serious saguek and a more casual historical rom-com.  Unfortunately, picking a lane may have made the story elements stronger.  There is also a splattering of fantasy that gives the drama a bit of originality, but its very understated. At 20 episodes, the plot moves pretty slowly and the romance is very slow burn. If you enjoy historical dramas, this one has some nice moments and it’s fun to see Park Hyung Sik back in royal garb.  I give “Our Blooming Youth” an 8 out of 10 ramen.
