Can't they just cast 2 new roommates instead of having a different actress playing Eun Jae? And having her coming to Bell Epoque post break up? You cant give us the adorable senior and expect him to dumb Eun Jae now!

I liked Park Eun-bin & Han Seung-yeon, hope it'll be fun to watch them again :-)

Noooo the couple is my otp why break them up:(( i was looking forward to their continuation

According to an early report, Kim Minseok's character is going to romance the new roommate. Haha is the show opting for a Lovely Complex-like couple? ?

I understand adding new characters but getting a different actress to play the same character?... no, just no. To be honest all the changes are not setting well with me. If they were to have a second season they should have done everything possible to secure the original cast. Even if it meant delaying the show until the end of the year or beginning of next year. I don't know I am really disappointed in what the second season is turning out to be :(.

At one moment i was so excited because yeay it AoY 2, but later im sad because why eunjae has to break up with sunbae T.T and kang unnie ah nevertheless im a whole body excited for AoM season 2 ???????

The only explanation I can think of on why an original character will return despite a different actress is because the writer has a story in mind for her that might affect the whole plot?

I was actually looking forward to Shin Hyunsoo and Yoon Park in these but I guess we won't get them :( AND PLEASE WILL YOU GET JIWON HER LOVESTORY NOW :(

My biggest fear for AoY 2 was that Eun Jae and her sunbae would break up. And it became true. Eun Jae was my favourite girl and her relationship was also my favourite. I love the actress Ji-woo but I wish sh played a different character. I'm so heartbroken but I will be watching regardless.

no no no! They did not only replace park hye soo, they also broke the OTP!!!! TTATT

Ah. What? Jiwoo and Shin Hyunsoo gonna be a cute couple. I was expecting to see them together again after Star in The Universe.

Never seen the 2 new actresses in any dramas yet

I'll try to be optimistic about this.

I think Shin Hyun Soo is busy for Ruler. I hope Ji Woo and Kim Min Seok will become a couple.

On the plus side, Onew and Kim Min Seok have both impressed me so that's good news. And it's a DOTS reunion. :)

Looking forward to watching the drama even if in my head Joey Tribbiani is screaming: "Why God Whyyy?". Did anyone in this thread found herself/himself while overseas? If there is a blog, I would love to read all the stories of self-discovery.

Liked Ji-woo in Universe’s Star, best plot out of Three Color Fantasy. Thought I've seen her somewhere before, then realized that she reminds me so much of Anna Hathaway...
Casts are shaping up well, crossing fingers for great plot too. Am kinda tired of having mystery thread in every drama now, but first season did worked it well.

I'm wary about second seasons in general, but I loved the first one so much, I'm going into this feeling pretty excited.

Although I am sad Eun Jae will be replaced by somebody else, but what is more crucial for me is the writer. I believe she can make it works. I mean even the all original casts return but we get somebody else to be the writer, the spirit of AOY will be different and could be a disappointment. It could turn out as mere romcom.

Anyway I am glad to at least have Han Ye Ri & Park Eun Bin around. I would be really sad if we don't get to see Song Ji Won around in season 2, acted by none other than Park Eun Bin. Hope Yoon Park can appear as well.

I am glad jTBC back to produce more mature content drama. I am at lost after claimed myself as jTBC girl last year but none of jTBC drama caught my interest so far for thisbyear. Woman of Dignity looks interesting, but the writer made me worry.

OMG we're only one drama season away from Age of Youth 2!!! :DDDD

OCN, take notes!

I wanted this s2 so so bad before but now im not so sure. Ill still watch it for the girls and i trust the writer but the casting is so messy its disappointing. They should just make a new char instead of recasting for Eunjae. Also sad that the landlady wont be coming back.

I just hope that theyll still focus on the Belle Epoque girls rather than lovelines.

Is Han Ye Ri's loveline from s1 going to continue?
Is Park Eun Bin's sunbae friend coming back?
I need those two boys to come back.

I am just going to delude myself into thinking that Yoon Sunbae and JiWon's boys will be back.

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS LALALALALALALALALALAAAAAAA!!!

Park Eun Bin pic right there looks like the younger version of Moon Chae Won..damn<3

End of August? I have to wait foreeeeeveer!

I don't know how to feel about any of the changes. D:

The second season fear is real. On the one hand i always want more... But then I am afraid they'll undo what I liked about the first season D;
I am not sure how I feel about the changes or if I will watch at all (why break up the cutest couple of the show whyy). I might wait it out and see how it goes before getting invested, and live in denial about the story if I don't like it hehe

I'm just glad Han Ye-ri is back. She's my favorite housemate. She tried so hard to hide her feelings but when she let go she was just so raw and easy to relate to. And I'm fine with Ji-woo (loved her in You're All Surrounded) but they really should have just created a new character for her.

"Nooooo, you can’t break up that couple, even if one of them got recast with a new face!" LOL, why did I find that one line so funny?

Anyways I'm super excited about this second season. I absolutely loved Age of Youth. It was such a heartwarming drama to sit back and relax too. Not to mention funny. I'm not too upset that Eun Jae is recast (though it does kind of suck) but I am sad that Ryu Hwa-young won't be there anymore.

Ehhh! I'm not liking these changes! If the actress can't participate because of scheduling conflicts then change the character not the actress! I don't know how I'll feel watching another actress play Eun Jae, I'll find myself subconsciously comparing the two actresses and judging which one is better. That will interfere with my enjoyment of the show. Deep sigh. So many changes.

As long as we don't have another SM actor on the line up I'm good, but whoah my favourite OTP gone. Still Ji Won is my favourite, as long as she's hard carrying the show I'm set ^^

Awe! excited for Onew!! His smile always lights up the screen.
Not sure how I feel about the recasting...and the ending of that adorable campus relationship...I guess I will just let the episodes speak for themselves. I'll try to keep an open mind till then. I adore Kim Min Seok, though, so I am so glad he is joining the cast. Can't wait!

My favorite thing about Age of Youth was always their friendships and the focus on the girls, i hope this new season doesn't change that, i would hate to see this turn into a rom com (even though i love this genre but not here).

Even though i'm not liking the changes they're making so far, i'll give it a chance when it airs.

Will Kim Min Seok be romancing the new tall girl? Because that will be adorable and hilarious

Whoa, that was a lot of new info–which is good because I'm super duper looking forward to this drama!

While I was surprised to read that Park Hye-soo wasn't returning, I didn't really mind too much because if I had to choose to write off any of of the girls, she'd probably be one of the firsts. #sorrynotsorry
Now, what I DO MIND and actually dislike is that they're gonna have another actress take over her role? What? No. Can we please just not do that? I honestly don't see why they don't just give us a reason for Eun-Jae's absense, close her story there, and have Ji-woo be another new roomie!? Smh. Speaking of which, I thought she looked so familiar and now I remember that she played the younger version of Go Ara in You're All Surrounded! I actually loved her there and thought she was pretty, charismatic and very spunky. Good to see her again!

This is my first time seeing Choi Ara, but I already love her look and can even imagine her in her charater, so I think it's fitting. Can't wait to see her, too.

Excited for the boys! They sound like decent, good men and boy do we need more of that this time around. I'm hoping Jin-myung's cutie chef beau will still be in this because he was pretty much the sweetest guy. I still crack up at the thought of him proudly using and sharpening the knife that she gave him every time she passed by. Kyyyyyaaaa, cute! Omg, and Ji-won's sunbae! What was that little tease where he suddenly thought she was cute and had heart eyes for her? That ended just as soon as it began! I need more of that/him/them, please.

I'm so excited for this because August is just right around the corner! Yayyayyay! Can't wait for the gals, the guys, chic af landlady, the soundtrack(!), and the crazy shenanigans that I'm sure will ensue! So long as Ji-won sunbae's there.

Ugh, why? Why give Eun-jae a new face? Just write Eun-jae out, it's far less confusing!

Now I'm feeling all sorts of apprehensive about this. Eun-jae and her sunbae was one of the highlights for me and for it to change like this... sadness. With that said, I'm still looking forward to it and the girls and their relationships with each other.

The last picture of KMS and LJK is just love. <3

I sad about park hye soo 'cause it was the I really related to her character in the first few episodes, well at least I like ji woo so I guess it's not so bad. I loved Han Ye Ri and Park Eun Bin so I'm glad they're back. Looking forward to the new girl and her romance it sounds fun.

onew! i'm all in except now i have to fit one more drama in my life cause i didn't watch the first season of this.

Where are all the other boys, more importantly SONG JIWON'S COLLEGE FRIEND?????

Is it just me or does Ji-Woo look a bit like Anne Hathaway??

Idk, I just love all the girls... Park Hye-soo has a great opportunity with her career in movie with Exo’s D.O. and Ryu Hwa-young is doing well in Father Is Strange. So I have no objection to new faces.. Just like school series or reply series we always in-love toward different cast, different plots as long they have a solid chemistry.

Excited about Kim Min Seok. He keeps getting better and better in everything I see him in. Not quite sure how I feel about recasting the little maknae, or Onew either. From what I remember, Onew was limited at best in DOTS.
This new girl also being described simply by a physical attribute: the tall one, seems slightly worrying to me. Hopefully they're just trying to keep her mysterious and they have more of an arch sketched out for her, because the character depth was what I loved the most about the first season.

I've not watched the season one yet but i read every single recap and i enjoyed it...i kind of feel dissapointed that they're replacing some of the actresses because i'm afraid of if the chemistry between them doesn't go really well....well i can say that Onew and kim min seok are not bad, i mean who didn't enjoy them in Descendant of the sun?
