Regardless, I found this book to be a great read. It gives great insight to the surrounding situations and childhood stories that each boy faces, especially when trying to figure out why things happened the way they did. I through holy enjoyed the read and felt so much emotions for each character and their situations. Can’t wait to get started on the second book :)

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
Graphic: Emotional abuse, Physical abuse, Suicidal thoughts, and Suicide
Moderate: Death, Mental illness, Forced institutionalization, Death of parent, and Abandonment

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.
