My Youth, the heart-tugging JTBC K-drama starring Song Joong-ki and Chun Woo-hee, has fans buzzing with its nostalgic romance and emotional depth. As the 12-episode first season nears its finale, airing its last episodes this week, viewers are already asking: Is My Youth Season 2 happening? Here’s everything we know so far.
Quick Recap: What Is My Youth About?
Before diving into season 2 speculation, let’s refresh on the story that’s got everyone talking. My Youth (Korean: Mai Yuseu) follows Sunwoo Hae (Song Joong-ki), a former child actor who left the spotlight behind after a traumatic upbringing marred by adult greed and betrayal. Now living a quiet life as a novelist and florist, Hae’s world is upended when his first love, Sung Je-yeon (Chun Woo-hee), reenters his life after 15 years. Je-yeon, a ambitious talent manager at Feel Entertainment, needs Hae’s help to cast her client in a major project—pulling him back into the industry he swore off.
The drama weaves flashbacks to their high school days with supporting characters like Mo Tae-rin (Lee Joo-myung) and Kim Seok-ju (Seo Ji-hoon), exploring themes of lost dreams, family secrets, and rediscovering joy. Directed by Lee Sang-yeop (Yumi’s Cells) and written by Park Si-hyeon (Run On), it’s a cozy yet poignant rom-com that’s perfect for fall viewing.
Is My Youth Season 2 Confirmed?
As of October 8, 2025, JTBC has not officially confirmed My Youth Season 2. The show was designed as a 12-episode standalone, with a finale expected to wrap up the central romance between Hae and Je Yeon. However, its critical and commercial success has sparked renewal buzz. Given JTBC’s history of extending hits, a renewal isn’t out of the question.
