The song was an instant hit for Bijou and the lyrics are extremely soft, sweet and with TWICE’s honey-like vocals, the OST sounded even better. Of course, there are trainees who didn't make it (those within the top 20, top 35, and top 60) that I really wanted to debut but I think all the trainees gained a lot from this show and will walk on the flower road from now on :).ĭon't really like the group name (The Nine) as I really wanted 9ever (Ninever) as their group name but it is what it is.The OST is a remake of the title song 'I Love You More Than Anyone Else' of Bijou's 2nd regular album ' Love Is.' that was released in 1999 will be released on major music sites at noon on the 9th. The final line-up had me a little surprised but I'm satisfied. I'm so glad that they had all the trainees come back and even let them join on stage dancing Yes!Ok! one more time. The bond between all of them is so touching. If you want to watch a show where 109 girls strive to accomplish their dreams, with friendship, sistership, lots and lots of crying, and laughing along the way- I definitely recommend watching YWY2. This was the first survival show I watched in whole and the first finale I ever watched live. This review may contain spoilers Thank you to all the 109 trainees and the mentors of this show that has accompanied me over the past few months. ![]() (Annotation: By using term 'Produce shows' in this review I refer to the shows which follow the same format as original Korean Produce101.) I wish all the contestans best of luck and of course I can't wait to see The Nine debut. YWY 2 is over now and I'm really gonna miss it. To put it short: even if you're not interested in survival shows, I think you should give this one a chance. But in Youth With You I was so happy to see girls who were not 'conventionally pretty', girls who had different styles and personalities. Honestly I think it would be hard for a contestant with the image like Yu Zhang or Frhanm Shangguan to go far in the Korean Produce and I don't think it would be possible for a girl like Liu Yuxin to reach the top. In my opinion, especially in Korean shows too much emphasis is put on the visuals. Rather than focusing on being cute and pretty, the girls show that you can be cool, you can have different image but most importantly you can be yourself and keep fighting for your dreams. What I absolutely love about this show is the fact that it supports diversity and girl power. They are not afraid to express their opinion and even joke with their mentors. The contestants don't look like they're going to crumble under pressure. The tone of the show is different from what I saw in Produce101. The girls face hardships during their training but they're still able to keep their spirits up and lighten the mood. There's not a single girl who's unlikable and you actually get attached to these girls and wish them best. The trainees really support each other and their friendships seem so genuine. Despite his young age, he already has admirable knowledge about music and performing and he tries to share this knowledge with the trainees.Īlso, I think the panel with Alicia was one of the most useful panels for every trainee/rookie I've seen in Produce shows, because she actually addressed the struggles of 'celebrity life' without sugar-coating anything.įirst of all, the amount of talent the trainees have is insane and I was often impressed by the stage presence of some of the contestants. He knows what the trainees are going through, because he went through the same experience in Idol Producer so he's able to really empathize with the girls. ![]() It was a great decision to chose Cai Xukun as the main host. I think that the relationship between mentors and trainees is much closer than in different versions of the show. Mentors genuinely care about the trainees and give them useful advices (and of course talented trainees) make the performances look proffessional and impressive.Ģ. ![]() The cameramen usually do a really good job and don't suddenly zoom into space or into the back of someone's head while filming. The editing is not evil but actually made me burst out laughing many times and rather on creating unecessary drama, it focused on showing hard work and friendship between trainees and how much the girls supported each other. YWY is a competition but the production team doesn't make it look like the hunger games. Rewatch Value 9.0 I never thought I would become so invested in a 'Produce show', but Youth With You 2 grabbed my heart from beginning and never let go.Īs this show finally came to the end today, after three months of following trainees journey, I thought I would share some of my thoughts and list some of the reasons why it's (in my opinion) the best of all Produce shows.
