“That’s weird. How can something that you want to achieve most in your life and something that is unlikely to come true both be called a dream?”
It was the HYYH: Young Forever album that got me into BTS back in 2016 and it remains to be my fave era of theirs. While the Youth trilogy was such a pain to watch and listen to, HYYH Notes adds more depth to the whole story and each of the characters. And uhhhh adds even more pain lmao. 😩
The writing is simplistic and the journal entries seem like they’re all written by one person. But that’s Reader Pam talking. As ARMY Pam, I really loved this! Knowing how some loops start and end, Notes 1 still hits really hard since there is added context and details that you can’t simply see just by watching the MVs and reels. If you’re a HYYH hoe like me or just started getting into BTS, I highly recommend watching the MVs and reels first in the Bangtan Universe (BU) then read the Save Me webtoon as a prelude to reading HYYH Notes 1 and 2.
Additionally, there are a lot of trigger and content warnings for this book as each character go through tough stuff and mental health issues. Tread lightly.
Trigger/Content Warnings: suicide, abandonment, physical and mental abuse, death, death of a family member, depression, anxiety, Munchausen’s Syndrome, forced institutionalization

Wow 😳 This book was a continuation of “Save Me” (Webtoon I read in 2021) and it was definitely a detailed and heartbreaking storyline to follow. I felt emotional while reading about every character and the hardships they endured along the way. I’m also glad that I had a book buddy reading this alongside me to remind me everyone and everything was ok 😅😭📚 On to Notes 2 to see what happens next…

The skips (year(s) difference) are so hard to get into especially that we have SEVEN (7) MAIN characters here. It's also difficult to distinguish how one's thinking differ from another, it felt like their POVs don't differ much from each other it's like they're all the same person or it's just the bland english language? irdk. ㅠㅠ
Also hoping I could finally get the answers I want to see on the next book god please

This book is one of the most significant pieces of the universe since it is a chronological collection of all of the “notes” that could be found through BTS albums over the years and each feature snippets of the stories for each character. It is meant to be read after Save Me because it picks up where Save Me left off in a way. So remember that if you want to venture into this universe with me.
My ultimate impression is that this book is fascinating and really well-done. It was especially nice to finally have some semblance of chronology with this universe as it is quite convoluted and mysterious when starting with the films and videos like I did. Having it all in one collection is nice and it definitely reads well as a book.
