I’m in the middle of rewatching Age of Youth and 1 thing I didn’t quite get was why did Eun Jae and Jung Yeol break up? Did they just drift apart or something else?

    You mean Age of Youth 2? They never quite made it clear. But if I remember correctly, they never really «loved» each other. They were each others’ sorta first loves and they were infatuated with each without having a proper basis of a relationship… so I guess they sorta drifted apart…

      Yeah in 2. And that’s what I thought after rewatching it as well…They drifted apart after the so called ‘honeymoon phase’/’infatuation phase’ of their relationship was over.
      I mean in season 1, even though their relationship was sweet, it was more of him taking a liking to her and she liking him back after hearing a guy say ‘I like you’ for the first time even though she had a crush on that other senior guy.
      So I guess it was puppy love that ran its run and they drifted apart albeit at different paces (her taking a lot longer to accept it)

        It also comforts me to believe that she, deep down, knew that she no longer loved him (I mean she wasn’t ready to sleep with him) but she had a hard time letting go. It definitely is hard when it’s your first relationship.
