Overall Thoughts on The Temperature Of Language: Our Nineteen
I think every student goes through this phase of life, whether it’s about crossing their career on their own or their parents choose one for them. It is somewhere true that adults can not understand what teens are going through, but what I feel is if you will talk with them and try to make them understand what you want and how you feel then they will understand.
Highly recommended drama for teens and youth, and recommending them doesn’t mean like others cannot watch it. Do watch this drama. You can also watch this drama on YouTube.
