I FINALLY WATCHED *YOUNG ROYALS* AND IT WAS AMAZING! | Season 1 (episode 1 & 2) Reaction 

When i tell you i audibly gasped when i saw this and then screeched. Im so happy i get to see more people watch this show, its so good

6:07 The cast is *much* closer in age to their characters than say Love, Victor. I think Edvin (who plays Wilhelm) is the youngest of the main characters. I think he was 17 when they first started. A lot of them were 19-21 in S1. Omar (Simon) I think is the oldest, though he has a baby face. I think he was 22 then. The creators of the show wanted young people who looked normal and natural. They have acne and blemishes. Also, this is Omar’s (Simon) first acting part. He’s a professional singer and was in a boy band when he was younger. He speaks Swedish, English, and Spanish. You’ll hear him speak Spanish to his mom.

girl everyone in the fandom agrees the subtitles are better😂

I think the actress playing Sara and Simon's mum is Puerto Rican so you're probably right about her Spanish accent. Simon's actor is Venezuelan.

YESSS i'm glad you're finally watching it, and that you're watchng sub it's always better to hear the original actors voices and the emotions they put in. Just hearing the original language is som uch better tbh

You’ve honestly picked the perfect time to start watching Young Royals, because we’re currently waiting for season 3 and it should be out in early 2024 (probably January). Edit: thanks to the people who’ve corrected me. I already knew but I forgot this comment existed.

So drinking age is 18 but you need to be 20 to buy liquor thats stronger then 3.5 %....I literally looked it up right before you did lmao 💜

definitely one of the best netflix originals out there if not the best of the last 2/3 years, criminally underrated

in sweden you only need to be 18 to drink but you have to be 20 to buy alcohol

YAAAYYYY, just as I was scouring youtube for more young royals reactions, you came through. You never disappoint 😩 the scream in your intro was the same way i screamed when I saw this pop up lol

I'm so happy you're watching this. Everyone who knows what happens in the next 2 episodes are praying for you😭😭😭💗💗💗

Omar (Simon) is Venezuelan (he moved to Sweden when he was 6), Carmen (Simon's mother) is Puerto Rican & American. It's not clear from where that side of Simon's family is from, but somewhere in Latin America for sure.

I am so glad you like it! Season 3 will come out in 2024!! Also, Simon's actor Omar is Venezuelan and I think the actress for the mom is Puerto Rican?

Warning: You’re gonna cry over and over again for this show🥰

0:28 Yes! We made the same mistake. We watched Squid Games dubbed and I wish we had watched it subbed. Never going to make that mistake again. However, if you ever decide to rewatch Young Royals again, you can try it dubbed because the actors all do their own dubbing so it’s their own voices. I do recommend first watching it in Swedish with subtitles (there’s two and one will translate the songs, the other doesn’t translate the songs). Then it’s interesting to watch it dubbed because you get a little more background conversations that aren’t in subtitles.

Yay I'm so excited for this! Young Royals is the first show in a decade to slide its way into my top 3 favorite shows. I even dressed up as a Hillerska student for halloween. I had already learned a bit of swedish because I have swedish ancestry but because of this show I have nearly a year streak on duolingo swedish now haha. I cant wait to see the rest of your reactions! I just watched your heartstopper reactions like 2 weeks ago and I loved them so much I was waiting for this for sure. You pick up on a LOT!

u asked if anyone speaks swedish, so hi!! i'm finnish, but i speak swedish at least on some level. we have to start learning swedish on the 6th grade (when we're 12yo) up until we're 18 (i think). i'm 18, but i chose to continue it until i graduate. almost all of my friends dropped it the second they could, though. now the swedish courses i have have like 7 people at best in them, when before they were all full (34-36 people), which is kinda funny and/or sad lmao. learning swedish is not optional here, because it's finland's second official language. i like swedish as a language, although i have to say i'm not very good at it. i do hate the fact that we're forced to learn it rather than it being optional, because it feels more of a job than an interesting language to learn. i'm still grateful i've got to learn it though, because i love knowing multiple languages :) i love that you're reacting to young royals though!!! can't wait to see what you think of the of the next episodes! :)

I'm so happy you are reacting to young royals and I can't wait for more.

5:50 Simon is a non-res student (he doesn’t live at the school). The elites at school assume that all the locals can easily get drugs and alcohol since they’re lower class. I guess alcohol is difficult to get in general. There’s only three years at the school. Wilhelm (the Prince) and Simon are first year, but I think that’s like our sophomore year age-wise. Then there’s second year (junior) and third year (senior). That’s my understanding of it. Simon and his sister Sara can go to school for free. It’s only the dorm that costs money. (These are some of the questions that many reactors have when watching YR.)

I'm literally learning Swedish on duolingo because of this show lol

This is my first time watching one of your videos but I love your vibe and energy. Definitely gonna have to watch more of your reactions. Also, Young Royals is amazing, you are in for a treat!

YAYY!!! so thrilled for you to see this show!! its JUICYYY

I don't believe it's ever made clear where Simon's Spanish-speaking family's is from; but the actor (Omar Rudberg) was born in Venezuela and moved to Sweden at age 6. So, lucky him, he was bilingual as a toddler, and since Swedish kids all learn English in school, he got fluent in all 3 pretty fast.

Im Swedish and i watched this show a while ago and absolutely loved it, so when i saw that you had reacted to it i literally screamed out loud

You are so right - Young Royals is it's own thing

Your reactions are refreshing, honest, and insightful. Almost every time you predict a plot point it comes true!

She really tried to re-create the fnaf 1 jump scare at the beginning

Thanks so much for using the subtitled version! As good as the dubbed version is, compared to most (here the very same actors did the English dubbing), it's still horribly jarring.

I'm so glad that you like it I was just about to say you should watch it I just got done watching it yesterday it's so freaking good but we have to wait till season 3 to next year😢😢❤

Yay, I’m so glad you’re reacting to Young Royals. I love this series.

Episode 2 Input… as for daylight: in Sweden the times when (and if) the sun comes up and goes down can be quite different to what you are used to in the US. Even for me in Germany it is. And the Hillerska Boarding School is not even that high up (north) in the country- it’s still like in the south of middle Sweden… so yeah, it can be confusing to see the darkness and you will go and think „wait what time is it - especially in a scene in the fifth episode where August needs to be somewhere at I think it was three in the afternoon and for most of the watchers it feels more like elevenish at night…

Okay, I didn't read all comments, so maybe someone has already said this - but the drinking age is 18 in clubs, but to buy it in liquor stores you have to be 20. And August is either 18 or 19 the first semester of 3ed year. And btw, yes I'm one of those Swedish speakers viewers ☺️ i actually even grew up in this particular area where the series was filmed

Omar (the one who plays Simon) is from Venezuela so that's why you might have not picked up his accent! He's also a singer and was very famous in Sweden for his career in the music industry years before YR. It's actually his first role as well :)

The actor Edvin says that Wilhelm is unlabeled. He seems bi or pan, but mostly he just knows that he likes Simon.

btw in this case dubbed version isn't much different because the original cast actually dubbed it too

yess so excited for this !

I’m Swedish

Watching other people watch shows i love is a hobby at this point😭

No… it’s not about the drinking age why they need someone to „fix“ it. In Sweden you can only get real booze (I don’t know what the percentage of alcohol it is but it has to be very low) in specially licensed liquor stores. And you have to be at least 18 (not sure if it is actually 21) to be able to buy there…

OMG finally a reaction to my fav show like ever, i luv ur reactions

Third season is coming in 2024, hopefully in January.

As a swedish speaking person, It's so weird to hear swedish cause I normally watch thai/english or korean dramas I'm fr more fluent in english than swedish 😭 One good thing about swedish series is that all actors are the age they are playing, they show skin not filters and are not scared to look human btw in sweden you learn english then your around 7 yrs old, so the actors did the english dub themselves + but I would still watch the subtitles I know by now swedish, japanese, french, english and italian ( a lil thai and korean )

I heard that in ep 1 they actually did kiss but they didn’t add it so annoying

I completely agree with your dislike for dubbed shows. However if you are ever going to watch one this is a great one to watch. The actors actually recorded both in Swedish and English and the English lines up with the subtitles amazingly well . I still love the Swedish version but it’s just cool to see how well done it is.

Im so excited for you to react to the rest!! Bc you are actually pretty entertaining and a lot better than some others who just sit in silent. +1Sub

Great Show, spread it! It‘s so well acted and underrated!

I'm Swedish and American so it's really cool to see you react to this! Love your videos❤

Don’t forget that Sweden is more north so the sun sets earlier in the winter months and the sun rises later.

I believe that Simon's family are from Venezuela. I know that the actor who plays Simon is.

I love the way how you already hated august when he didn’t even do much

Hi, Venezuelan here, ready to explain the beauty of a person that´s Omar Rudberg, AKA Simon. Both the actor and the character have venezuelan parents and were born on Venezuela but moved to Sweeden very young, so he speaks english, spanish and sweedish. En real life, Omar is a singer and the songs he sings at the church are his. So yeah, the accent you hear is my beautiful subtle venezuelan accent. Por cierto, I didn´t know that you´re from DR. Me encantan tus reacciones

How did I just find out you are Dominican 😭 Me too twin 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🫣😝😝

Where is your reaction to Red White & Royal Blue?

I love how they all look so real! They are all beautiful too. It's crazy how young they make them look, the actor for Simon was like 22 I believe

The actual cast of the show does the dub and it’s done well

Very late, but the mom's accent is Puertorrican She even pronounces swedish exactly like a Boricua would

I’m Swedish and it made me really happy to see you reacting to Young Royals! The legal drinking age in Sweden is 18, like in restaurants or when someone else is serving it to you, but to purchase alcohol you have to be 20.

THE SPITTING THING IS SO REAL. whenever i watch yr i ALWAYS skip that part or else i’ll actually throw up

Actually they are supposed to be 16, 1st grade in swedish ”gymnasium” which is like highschool. So in american highscool they would be juniors ig?

I wathced it dubbed cause the actors did their own voices in english, it sounded very natural

Wilhelm gets panic attacks. And has nervous tics.

Oh what Jesley said at 10:51 just you wait until the later episodes 😅( love you gurl ❤️)

A bit of the aesthetics reminded me of Love, Victor, minus the shitty ending, because this is actually ending according to the writers' wishes, but with higher stakes, ala One of Us Is Lying. I do agree that it's wonderful for them to have cast actors who look like real people. That to me adds so much to the show in a way that it seems most shows seem to be unaware of. It's that hyper world where everyone's conventionally attractive and perfect and without any single mark on their skin and they're all skinny and they're all in perfect shape and it's just an overload of fakeness to me lol having real kids play real kids is just a great choice, and I love that the director of the show speaks about that specifically in interviews, about how that was something she specifically set out to do

IS HE GAY was so unnecessarily funny like babe you knew there were lgbtqia+ references 😭

the characters have dubbed themselves into English, just so you know

24:40 his dad has adhd as well. It’s highly hereditary, so one can kind of put two and two together with Simon’s sister having adhd, so when Simon is at his dad’s house, that’s what he looked for. Which is fucked up because his dad actually needs the meds. And I think the way he treats his dad is terrible

you need to watch all of us are dead its a LITTLE scary but really not that bad and it's such a good show❤❤❤

I live in Sweden, love that you’re watching it subbed and not dubbed! Love the video

OMG YOU GOT TO WATH OUTER BANKS SEASEN 3 IT IS SOOOOO. GOOODDDD❤❤❤❤

Her: Similar to Ginny and Georgia Me: who said that No hate 😂😅

I was trying to eat while watching this and I forgot about the spit scene😓

Who in the world would say this show is like Ginny and Georgia?? 😭

If you like this and you havent seen it yet i recommend Skam

The dubbed version is voiced by the go actors so it’s still good dubbed

I’m pretty sure they do their own dubs btw. So, I feel like it should have the same dialogue but idk😂

The spit scene I always have to cover the screen cuz I gag

React to boondocks season 1 episode 1 please don't censor it

The hazing and initiation is pretty bad! I skip that part when I rewatch it.

MARCH 11 SEASON 3 THE FINAL SEASON!!

I have been riding horses for 4 years

as a swede, i very much appreciate you not watching it dubbed, its much more enjoyable in its original language!

need you to watch succession real bad

Simon's mother is played by Carmen Gloria Perez, who was born in the Bronx and moved to Puerto Rico and she was in the US Army.

oh i'm already LOVING your reaction to this series! it's difficult sometimes to find yr reactors who give a fair chance to both wilhelm and simon in all of the mistakes they make because well... they're SIXTEEN and aren't perfect 😵‍💫 plus your enthusiasm is so infectious and it's nice that you pick up on a lot of details! 🫶

was gonna sub anyways BUT THEN u said five star Michelin and I had to 🫶🏾💚💗

It’s even better then Heartstopper!!❤

You can change the audio if you want

Her reaction >>> others

DO NOT TRY AND PREDICT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN 9/10 TIMES YA GONNA BE WRONG !!!! We all were hahahah. .... why was he wearing the red lights ..this series uses every single prop to tell the story they show you a lot without telling you so you will need to do a lot of "reading" ....

I've seen thousands of reactions to YR, and it always irritates me how people don't get things! Like August being addicted to meds he does not need or Felice and Sara match as friends or the feeling of "being normal" that Wilhelm was feeling when he met Simon for the game. I mean, you are very smart and funny on your observations. 😉 Cheers from Brazil!

Guurl I just finished season 3 I am about to re-wactching the series from start from your reaction. Thank God I know Swedish let's go you're in for the ride!

omg stop this is the first ever video i watched from ur channel and just hearing that random scream at the start, i instantly knew i had to subscribe… THE ENERGY WAS AMAZING. THIS VIDEO WAS AMAZING!

I don't think I can do links, but look up: Omar Rudberg - Om om och om igen (Official Video). That's my favorite by him (at least right now). It's a Swedish/Spanish mix.

YOU JUST KNOW HOW TO MAKE ME HAPPYYYYY

The training in e.2 was probably only around 6-7 pm. It's late September/October, and in Sweden it is dark by then.

GUYS THE QUEEN HAS POSTED

6:20 Is there Minecraft music playing? 😂

I NEED you to keep watching, pleaseeee

Wille is a first year which is the equivalent of a sophomore in hs, he’s 16. He’s gonna be there 3 years bc it’s the beginning of the school year. So are Simon and Felice. Sara is also in the same grade but repeated a year so she’s older. August is a third year, the equivalent of a senior.
