  1. it’s a bit confusing when I finish ep 10 of Record of Youth k-drama…
    I’m a fan of Park Bogum!
    I’ve watched Reply 1988 and Love in the moonlight and there are some clip that same with his role in this 2 k-drama
    First, hye-jun accepts the role of being a King in this series that same with the story of “Love in the Moonlight” there is a girl portraying a boy same as “Love in the moonlight”
    and Park Bogum lost his mother at a young age just like in the series of Reply 1988 there was a script line saying he miss his mum so much…
    And when Hye-Jun in “Record of Youth” nominated and Won the Best Male Actor because of the Series “The King Has Returned”, Same as Park Bogum won the Best Male Actor because of “Youth Over Flower” or “Love in the Moonlight” in real life. And there was Soongki; his real-life friends crying because of Park Bogum achievements…. as well as in the “Record of Youth” Hye-Jun friend’s Hye-Hyo crying because of Hye-Jun Achievements.
    Lastly, Hye-Jun was enlisted in the story but made it postponed because he actually made to become an Actor.
    In the real-life Park Bogum shoot the Love in the Moonlight first before he enlists in the military as well as the series “Record of Youth”.

    This is all about my opinion about the story of Park Bogum and the series of “Record of Youth”. I just loved how the storyline of this series turned to be amazing!
