I love that at least Sun-bae is back but please don't turn him into a douche bag. I love him and Eun-bi sooooo much it's kind of hard having to imagine him dumping her. Why do I feel sad already? :(

They should have just written in another new character when Park Hye Soo dropped out. I've been rolling with the punches re: the casting so far, but recasting Eun Jae? Not a fan.

I do think they made them broke up to spark interest and would probably grow close again. But gaaaaaaaaah My Yeri x Yoon Park ship :( they were so adorable :(

It's good that Shin Hyun Soo is back, but I don't really like the fact that he is returning as an ex. I can't believe he dumped Eun Bi. Their relationship was so cute. But then, after Park Hye Soo dropped out, I don't know how his role could continue on. I don't want to see him with the new lead (but that's just me being selfish).

YP not coming back?? Nooo. I swear this will be one of the open endings that will hunt me forever. His story with Han Yeri's character was so incomplete.

Nooo,they were my favorite couple and now they made them broke up,that is not fair...And that's why i hate seasons in kland,if i can even say that...ruining such a endering couple...I know in reality couple break up and so but at least in a drama i'd love to see and imagine the "lived happily ever after"

So... with all the changes, let's hope they know what they're doing.

You know that episode of "The Office" where they replace Jim with an Asian guy for a day and everyone is in on it but Dwight just freaks out and refuses ti accept it? Maybe that's what happened here. Maybe Eun-jae version 2.0 kept insisting she was the real Eun-jae but our puppy sunbae wasn't buying it and he dumped her! Lol, maybe season 2 is all about him trying to piece together the mystery behind original Eun-jae's disappearance.

YES to Song Seung Won! I need sunbae for Song unni! They were super cute together!!

Seriously, the more I hear of the second season the more I'm thinking:"Be careful what you wish for."
I wanted a second season alright but I don't know how to feel about this now. I hope it will be good, even without all the same actors and characters....

Time to catch up on the first season

I'm still here for Ji-won. :)

Getting some of the old characters back is a bonus!

He was such a nice first boyfriend for the girl in season 1. I personally think it is good to inject a realistic element in this drama. Some first relationships don't last forever.

But but Sunbae was sooooo in love with Eun Jae.... I would have pegged him to be the one to get dumped.

But still, I'm so happy he'll be coming back! I was quite disappointed that he wasn't gonna be in it in earlier reports. Like Tipsymocha said, can I maybe hope for a reconciliation too? Pretty please? They were my fave couple!

If not just console me by making sure Jiwon gets her sunbae...

>> Oh no, just as I was about to hit "Send" for my comment I suddenly remembered Eun Jae isn't gonna be played by the original actress!!! What's the point of him returning? Way to rain on my parade... Fine, just give me Jiwon's sunbae loveline please

I thought Shin Hyun Soo's character was great, as as was Park Hye Soo's. But I can 110% believe their relationship didn't last long. It was at times adorably awkward, but ......... I can understand the frustrations that would have arisen between the two of them. I was already getting frustrated watching them.

Lack of Yoon Park is KILLING ME though. NoooOoooOOOOOOooOOO.

Ex? Oh no....

Ok.. now I'm getting nervous about the 2nd season. It's a total mixbag, and I'm worried I would be scarred if I put too high of hopes on the show. Remember Dream High?

Perhaps I should wait to hear the review first before diving in...

I would have been happier about this if Park Hye Soo was coming back. I adored the Eun Jae - Jong Yeol relationship! Seeing him interact with a different actress but in the same storyline could be weird...and no Yoon Park either! gahhh

Oh, this is very good news. I'm delighted. I just wish the original actress would come back to play Eun Jae. I rooted so much for their romance in part I. Such a pity.

idk about these changes...

NOOOO. I can't feel anything but sadness right now. so far the news of RHY, PHS, and now yoon park has left me feeling very broken hearted to a point where I can't say I'm looking forward to AoY2 anymore, but the news of eun jae's replacement bothers me the most. it will not be the same without her. I've considered that her dropping out may have come at too late of a notice to change the script, but it doesn't feel right to hand the role to someone else when PHS just *is* eun jae. it has to be her and no one else.

I just hope that with all this casting news, the show doesn't forget why it was so appealing in the first place. It drew me in because it was a show written to the ladies. All its main characters were ladies. The plot revolves around them, and I want the second season to keep it that way. Please, show, don't spoil that for me. If the second season ends up with the same male-centredness that's standard for dramas I'm gonna throw something.

So disappointed, I really wanted to see more Park Hye Soo and Shin Hyun Soo cuteness! I will try to give the new girl a chance. Ryu Hwa Young was also another draw for me, both of these girls were my favourite but I would still watch Age of Youth 2 and hope for the best!

Aw mannn
And I loved the cute couple dynamics between them :(

Okay must admit my heart breaks a little over this news. Now at the very least I'm hoping they'll let Song Ji-won and Sung-min couple to survive and continue their cute bickering this season *fingers-crossed*

Watching this for the girls in the drama so it makes no difference.

I really liked the first season, let's hope the second season doesn't make things worse and taint the memories for the first season. I'll trust in the writers one more time!

I had such a crush on the chef I'm so sad he isn't coming back haha :(

And this guy is back but as an ex? (And Park Hye Soo won't be Eun Jae either... not too excited about that) Age of Youth left so many loose threads without resolution so I guess we're just meant to start fresh with the Belle Epoque girls, but I hope we get answers at least? Age of Youth was an enjoyable slice of life series, I hope it does just as well or better for season 2. If not I could just watch the first season again haha

Love him!

Don't know what to think, do, or feel.
Though, I do think breaking up after a year in your college years, especially with one person in the relationship being older and more outgoing is quite normal. BUT THEY WERE SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!
My only condolence is that I won't be too torn up about watching it because the actress for Eun Jae will be different.

He's not the typical pretty male lead, but he's cute. I approve, but I'll miss sunbae.

I'm so conflicted! I loved the first season so much and was stoked when they announced season 2 but each new snippet of information has me kinda like 'umm...really? Okay, I guess I'll see how that goes'. Hopefully season 2 will be just as awesome as season 1 despite initial gut responses to the news

They're replacing so much of what I loved about season 1... At this point, I'm not even sure I want to watch season 2 anymore ughhhhh.

I'm glad sunbae is back but I am so sad it's confirmed that Yoon Park will not be returning....I loved their relationship so much...makes me sad it didn't work out. I will be tuning in to watch though and am still looking forward to it, just give a moment to mourn Yoon Park's character.
