hi hi, just wanted to say that the actor who plays Willhelm is quite famous in Sweden actually and the actor who plays Simon is a singer and this show is his debut as an actor. that’s it, enjoy the show!!
@@HarryAllen9 yep, he’s been acting for a long time. He started with a kids show and then pretty early on got role on a famous crime show named Gåsmamman wich made him famous. Then he’s been in Julkalender wich is a thing we have in scandinavia where basically the whole country watches an episode a day from first to 24th december (Swedish Christmas eve). And so on..
@@maja2197 I don't think that Mannen under trappan really counts as a kids show, it's says "thriller" as the genre on Wikipedia and "horror" on IMDb... =D
According to Edvin and the show’s creator, Wille doesn’t have a label to his sexuality. They wanted to show something where a person can be fluid and not have to “come out” in a traditional sense. So while he’s obviously not straight and in a gay relationship, he isn’t gay/bi/pan. I actually really love that because as much as I understand that labels can be very important, they are not always necessary and I like seeing a show just have a boy fall for another boy without having to define his sexuality with a label.
Yeah I like it too. I agree that labels can be very helpful in identifying whether something can even happen, with these 2 its already very 'go with the flow' so it isn't needed and I really appreciate that
@@HarryAllen9 They are so in love, you’re in for it. 🥺With the way you’re already reacting, I don’t think you’re gonna survive the season. I know I didn’t, I’m typing this from the grave.
@@veryverybisexual4963 YAH it would be sad getting that role but he does show how good of an actor he is so that’s a plus side maybe he will get more gigs and shows
@@veryverybisexual4963 After they filmed YR, Malte did another show in which he plays a really cute, kind of awkward guy. Unfortenately (or maybe not), the other show aired before this. The shock when I tuned in on YR to watch cute Malte and got August...
Edvin, the actor who plays Wille (def the easiest way to say his name) said in an interview that the hardest scene for him to act out was the scene in this episode where he yes, got a panic attack. He did bring experiences from his real life into his acting though as it’s something he has experienced himself
Also, Frida Argento - who plays Sara - actually has Asperger themself. I can't speak for the portrayal, but I can imagine that Frida felt strongly about doing the character justice.
One of my favourite things about this show is how realistic and authentic it feels. Wilhelm’s nerves are very well acted too. Yes you’re right, His family will also expect him to marry a woman to keep the royal family bloodline.
Yeah, the fact that he has *consistent* self-soothing gestures is sooo relatable as someone with mutiple dx'd anxiety disorders. The portrayal was great! I've seen some bad ones. Lol
Skandanvian shows/films are the best for coming over real. YR is the best show I have seen on Netflix..I adore Edvins acting...he will go far..in general all the actors are great and real. I love Wille and Simon so much as I did Evak in Skam❤❤❤
@@dianelechner1570 Isak and Even are my absolute favourite couple! You’re so right. I can see the similarities between how authentic the acting is. Love the chemistry in Evak and Wille and Simon!
I don't see why they would expect that though, like adoption is a thing that has happened in Swedish history when the king have been childless. If they are going for realism, they let him marry who he wants as our current princess and prince will be allowed to marry whoever they want man or woman.
The football game and motorbike scenes were the absolute cutest thing ever. This show gets real crushes and blossoming love SO RIGHT, because of all the little things: the looks, the awkward blushes, the sly touching to test, the tentative kiss (and Simon about to dart the Hell out of there when he says, "I'm not...' Love, Victor us sweetish fantasy. This one feels real.
Willhelm is so anxious we can litterly all feel it ! And I get it, I mean, all his life is under the spot and even if his parents could be supportive about loving another boy, the fact is they need Willhelm to have children and a "normal" life... just imagine the pressure... >
out of all the young royals reactions i’ve seen yours is by far the best. you really seem to understand and care for Wille and you’re focusing on all the important bits.
Just commenting about your questions on August and ADHD medication, apparently he does not have ADHD but take the medication so he can perform better in his studies, i would not say that it's common but many people do thigs like that, mostly in college and in exam season. Also, loving your reactions and commentary!
Yeah I was assuming it was something to do with like an energy boost or a boost in concentration but wasn't sure on exactly what it would do heh, thanks for the info and the kind words!
@@HarryAllen9 when people who don't have adhd take it it boosts their focus almost hyper attentive, when people with adhd take it, it brings them to the same focus level that someone who doesnt have adhd would have. Hope this helps
@@HarryAllen9 yeah, it basically helps you focus on one thing at a time and actually get stuff done, but people without ADHD basically become overly alert and focused.
@@Al_-cf1dj what? Based on studies I have seen it doesn't do anything to people without ADHD because their brain is already wired right and lights up the areas that is needed for focus. Basically when they give the people without ADHD a placebo instead it has the same effect, it's a mind trick.
Thank you for your thoughts on the August character and the "reasonings" behind his asshole behavior. Yes, he's dealing with a horrible situation in his life, but he uses his family connections as a way to put everyone else down and "in their place" to try and make himself feel better.
I have watched quite a few young Royals reactions leading up to season 2, but I think yours is my favourite. You have such a warm energy and you make intelligent points and you are fun to watch without being too loud. Also love a guy who likes Simons based political views and LGBTQ+ couples :D
I just LOVE watching people falling in love with this show 🥰 I can't wait to watch your reactions to the rest of the episodes! I can already tell that before you know it you'll be joining the rest of us in re-watching the episodes over and over 😁
I’ll be honest I’ve seen your reaction video to this series several times. I love seeing how giddy you get seeing Prince Wilhem and Simon together. I thought I was the only one that got that giddy seeing them together. Your reactions to August tickle me too. Thanks. I need a season 2 desperately 🥰
I’m so loving your reactions to this show. I watched the whole thing over the weekend and I’ve been searching out reactions. I’m a lot older than what I presume is the target audience but a show like this would’ve been so revolutionary when I was a teen in the 80s
"I can't stop smiling"... Well, I can't blame you, these two are just too cute! 😍 I was totally in love with them by episode two too (well, if I'm honest, I think I was already sold when I saw Wille reacting to Simon singing for the first time, but...)😍😍😍 And I'm enjoying a lot seeing you react to them, you seem to be so genuine, sensitive and thoughtful ☺ And I love how you keep the cutest parts in the video cause that way we can relive them with you 😁😁 The motorcycle scene was super cute, them holding hands and you could tell Wilhelm was feeling genuinely happy, feeling free as he probably almost never does 🥺 Also, Simon & Wille and Isak & Even are probably my favorite couples ever
I don’t think August has ADHD. I mean he suffers from an inflated ego, but otherwise I think he’s fine. ADHD medications are stimulants. If taken by someone who doesn’t have ADHD, it increases focus and attention, and it also prevents (to a certain degree) physical and mental exhaustion. August says he needs the medication to be in “top form” so he’s abusing it as a stimulant not because of an illness but to keep maintaining this image of a perfect student that his peers look up to. These drugs are commonly abused in western countries especially in the academic setting.
Just found your videos, started wird heartstopper (still waiting for your next Episode) and now I‘m here. So obsessed with your commments and your thoughts ! Its hilarious how you say „this and that is the cutest i have EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE“ in almost EVERY VIDEO!! 😂😄 keep on uploading stuff :)
I watch the whole season in a day and now looking your reaction videos making me laugh so hard, I had the exact same reactions all the time 🥲 And yes, they end the episodes in the worst way, what make you want more and make you watch the next episode directly 😉
Omg, you're so cute, you made me smile. (I'm glad I didn't find this until now, so there's still new stuff to watch after rewatching YR for like the 14th time (and not having a lot of friends left to convince that they need to watch it with me...))
Loving these reactions, I’m so with you! I don’t know anyone in IRL who’s willing to watch a swedish teen series and it’s so frustrating not being able to share it!
Honestly I’m looking forward to more of your reactions to this show😭 And if (HOPEFULLY WHEN) we get a season 2 I will 100% come back if you do reactions of that also. I agree with everything you said wholeheartedly. I also want to punch August in the face every time he pops onto the screen. I strongly dislike that guy. And also Simon and Will’s relationship is just so real that you’re almost like damn I need to look away and then don’t because it’s just tooooo cute and to captivating🥺
You are right. I don't read like Wille is struggling with his sexuality, even if it seems to be in process. I see more like a struggle about the fact he knows his royal status won't permit this sexuality, and it won't permit either to mix with another social class too. So he is torn between the fact he wants to be with Simon, but he knows he is not allowed to because of his royal duties.
OMG..I love watching your reaction..I feel the same emotions..I was addicted to Skam season 3 ..then this came!! I am totally flashed..the acting!! I love this love between them as I did Evak..Skandanavians make the best shows..so real. I adore Edvin as I do Tarjei..both wonderful actors who will go far❤
I agree wholeheartedly with you, still obsessed with SKAM, these young actors just blow my mind, so much talent! Edvin has acted since he was 5 years old and skam was Tarjei's first role and he was nominated best actor that year, they even changed the rules for his sake bc he was only 17 at the time and one had to be 18 to be nominated. Tarjei didn't win that year but I am sure both he and Edvin will win some time in the future.
Okay so from my understanding from tv shows and movies taking adhd meds when you dont have adhd sorta makes you hyperactive like you have more energy and maybe dont need as much sleep as you saw august does a lot of things in school so that’s why he takes it
Yeah after seeing him doing all this working out/running/rowing it definitely seems like something he would 'need' to be able to keep up with it all as well as his school work
It also might be worth mentioning that the show hints at him having body dysmorphia, and some adhd meds are known to cause weight loss/a loss of appetite.
One of the comments you made in this video we will have to revisit! I will not say which one but don't worry I will not forget! I love this show it takes me to a happy place!
Exactly just try to say it. I don’t like when people don’t even try to pronounce names. If you don’t want to go try don’t say his name. When Harry said William in the first episode I kind of got mad because I think it’s rude to not even try and to say the name completely wrong. But that’s just my opinion. I also find it annoying how some people are pronouncing Simon in a “western”. It’s not that hard to listen to how the characters pronounce the names and then copy them!!
@@madelinecooper9981 but I’d rather hear people say ”sigh-men” than ”simone” cause simone is a girl’s name and it just sounds funny haha. swedish pronounciation is ”SEE-mon” (stressing on the see, not the mon) and mon is quick like the mon in monday, not ”moan”. I’ve heard a LOT of people say ”si-moan” 😭
11:00 abuse of ADHD meds was a thing at my school… it helps you hyper focus and study an unnatural amount. Not healthy, of course, but some people think it’s worth it.
I understand the feelings of giddiness when we see gay couples. It's a heart warming display of the things we wish we had and had seen when we were growing up. UA-cam recommended me your Young Royals reactions while I'm waiting for your Heartstopper Episode 4 Secret reaction. I loved Young Royals when it came out and I'm thoroughly enjoying watching your reactions.
One thing that will forever break my heart is Simon was ready for a relationship but Wilhelm wasn't bc he was still trying to figure out his feelings 💔
Each reaction I see are confused on the girls/boys talking about their sexual exploits. I am like have y'all never seen Grease? It was the summer loving scene.
"Maybe it increases his focus?" No 😊. Adhd meds (at least the ones I take) are a form of amphetamine. They are an extremely controlled substance, and can get you high if you dont actually have adhd. Ik im super late but I hope this helps if ur still curious.
I think its just loan words that you're hearing. A language that doesn't have a word for a specific thing will often take the word and use it for their own, but slightly changing it so it sounds right. Like "stressa" means 'to stress'. I could be completely wrong but I can't remember them specifically speaking English hehe
Especially among teenagers and younger people it's very popular in Sweden to include English words and sentences in your normal daily language. We learn English from a young age so English is like a second language to us.
I know I am late, but some words are similar due to English and Swedish both having German roots. And also, on top of that, Swedish people use a lot of English in their daily life due to watching british and american TV-shows and movies, writing in english online, and listening to music in English. :) Fun fact- Sweden is the third biggest export of music in the world. (and a lot of songs sung in English are written by Swedes.) And also, Maddie- who says: F*ck you August- is an exchange student. :) So her native language is English.
A few words on Wilhelm fluidity and no labels that cast and creators pointed out. Seems like this is is the politics of production companies, to cover the whole sexuality spectrum, including this modern term fluid. Same was in Cmbyn where the cast and director were trying to convince us that Elio is not gay and with Nick in Heartstopper. But in the case of Wilhelm, we dont really get to see that fluidity. We just see a guy coming from a very traditional family (as modern as the country is, royal family as the institution stays deeply in the past) struggling with same sex attraction. He gets a panic attack when he is touched by a guy and repeating constantly that he is not like this, while his actions and desires that are conveyed to us when he is alone and thinking about Simon say the opposite. He repeatedly pushes Simon away and then gets unable to fight the temptation. He needs the help of drugs and alcohol to break his defenses. From the first day he came to school we see him attracted to Simon and always trying to get in touch with him, but backs up when August or other kids notices them together even if it is all innocent at that stage. We know that this character is not snobbish and it is not Simon being from lower class that make him ashamed of being seen as his friend, but rather his own secret desires of which he is very ashamed. All these are not reaction of a modern fluid or bisexual or pansexual guy, who would enjoy and explore all sides of his sexuality in young age, knowing that he can later as mature man marry and fulfill the family obligations. It is the reaction of someone for whom the situation is much more serious, cause he have no other options. And we see him attracted to Simon from the first day and he never looked at a girl twice, which a fluid, hormone driven teenage boy would (like Elio in Cmbyn) before the things developed with Simon. This is why I think, no matter the briefs given to cast and creators to satisfy the wide, straight market, that the prince is gay still struggling to accept it.
Omar actually told in an interview that the show is about a gay prince. But i understand their choice of unlabelling Wilhelm. Hence, we are almost sure that there will not be a usual come out scene and it is perfectly normal. They underline that the show is about love. Wilhelm is deeply in love with Simon. That is it.
I'm so here for these reactions and getting to experience the series again and again.
You can't watch it just once because it's so short! We need 10 episodes next season 😤
The way I've literally subscribed to a dozen reviewers for their Young Royals content 😭
sameee

@@HarryAllen9 🪦here’s your gravestone to prepare

wilhelm is 100% gay panic and im here for it
The final kissing scene is my favourite in the whole entire show. It shows Wilhelm's anxiety so perfectly. I agree with you it was fucking incredible.
"I just see his face and it annoys me" I felt that on a spiritual level 😂
I honestly feel that his actor felt a tiny bit offended that he got the role.

Hihi, I love your giggle everytime Wilhelm and Simon glance at eachother
Also, Frida Argento - who plays Sara - actually has Asperger themself. I can't speak for the portrayal, but I can imagine that Frida felt strongly about doing the character justice.

When Harry said William in the first episode I kind of got mad because I think it’s rude to not even try and to say the name completely wrong. But that’s just my opinion. I also find it annoying how some people are pronouncing Simon in a “western”. It’s not that hard to listen to how the characters pronounce the names and then copy them!!
@@madelinecooper9981 but I’d rather hear people say ”sigh-men” than ”simone” cause simone is a girl’s name and it just sounds funny haha. swedish pronounciation is ”SEE-mon” (stressing on the see, not the mon) and mon is quick like the mon in monday, not ”moan”. I’ve heard a LOT of people say ”si-moan” 😭
11:00 abuse of ADHD meds was a thing at my school… it helps you hyper focus and study an unnatural amount. Not healthy, of course, but some people think it’s worth it.

I need the reaction of episode 3 right now
Necesito la segunda temporada!! 😭Ya mismo!😭Amo a Simon y Wilhelm😍
Y a Omar 😍
I understand the feelings of giddiness when we see gay couples. It's a heart warming display of the things we wish we had and had seen when we were growing up. UA-cam recommended me your Young Royals reactions while I'm waiting for your Heartstopper Episode 4 Secret reaction. I loved Young Royals when it came out and I'm thoroughly enjoying watching your reactions.
I cracked up at 8:33, It's so true
ep 3 soon pls, love your reactions!
Wilhelm and Simon:
Harry: 😬
yes first let’s go!
27:14 YAAAASS
harry you’re a very handsome person
❤❤❤❤❤
I do the same thing when I see gay couples, especially on T.V. They just bring out a different side in me.
One thing that will forever break my heart is Simon was ready for a relationship but Wilhelm wasn't bc he was still trying to figure out his feelings 💔
Also yes the acting its like I can feel everything Wilhelm is going through-
Each reaction I see are confused on the girls/boys talking about their sexual exploits. I am like have y'all never seen Grease? It was the summer loving scene.
Holy shit, my mind is blown
19:46 Same reaction
"Maybe it increases his focus?" No 😊. Adhd meds (at least the ones I take) are a form of amphetamine. They are an extremely controlled substance, and can get you high if you dont actually have adhd. Ik im super late but I hope this helps if ur still curious.
Some use ADHD to be more productive.

is it just me or are they sometimes speaking Swedish and other times english or am i just stupid and thats how Swedish works
I think its just loan words that you're hearing. A language that doesn't have a word for a specific thing will often take the word and use it for their own, but slightly changing it so it sounds right. Like "stressa" means 'to stress'. I could be completely wrong but I can't remember them specifically speaking English hehe
Especially among teenagers and younger people it's very popular in Sweden to include English words and sentences in your normal daily language. We learn English from a young age so English is like a second language to us.
I know I am late, but some words are similar due to English and Swedish both having German roots. And also, on top of that, Swedish people use a lot of English in their daily life due to watching british and american TV-shows and movies, writing in english online, and listening to music in English. :)
Fun fact- Sweden is the third biggest export of music in the world. (and a lot of songs sung in English are written by Swedes.)
And also, Maddie- who says: F*ck you August- is an exchange student. :) So her native language is English.
Yeah, none of these guys are perfect. I don't care how bad his dad is, stealing and selling drugs is bad.
love story written AND directed by women.
A few words on Wilhelm fluidity and no labels that cast and creators pointed out. Seems like this is is the politics of production companies, to cover the whole sexuality spectrum, including this modern term fluid. Same was in Cmbyn where the cast and director were trying to convince us that Elio is not gay and with Nick in Heartstopper.
But in the case of Wilhelm, we dont really get to see that fluidity. We just see a guy coming from a very traditional family (as modern as the country is, royal family as the institution stays deeply in the past) struggling with same sex attraction. He gets a panic attack when he is touched by a guy and repeating constantly that he is not like this, while his actions and desires that are conveyed to us when he is alone and thinking about Simon say the opposite. He repeatedly pushes Simon away and then gets unable to fight the temptation. He needs the help of drugs and alcohol to break his defenses. From the first day he came to school we see him attracted to Simon and always trying to get in touch with him, but backs up when August or other kids notices them together even if it is all innocent at that stage. We know that this character is not snobbish and it is not Simon being from lower class that make him ashamed of being seen as his friend, but rather his own secret desires of which he is very ashamed.
All these are not reaction of a modern fluid or bisexual or pansexual guy, who would enjoy and explore all sides of his sexuality in young age, knowing that he can later as mature man marry and fulfill the family obligations. It is the reaction of someone for whom the situation is much more serious, cause he have no other options.
And we see him attracted to Simon from the first day and he never looked at a girl twice, which a fluid, hormone driven teenage boy would (like Elio in Cmbyn) before the things developed with Simon.
This is why I think, no matter the briefs given to cast and creators to satisfy the wide, straight market, that the prince is gay still struggling to accept it.
Omar actually told in an interview that the show is about a gay prince. But i understand their choice of unlabelling Wilhelm. Hence, we are almost sure that there will not be a usual come out scene and it is perfectly normal. They underline that the show is about love. Wilhelm is deeply in love with Simon. That is it.
Apparently the actress playing Sara (the sister) actually does have Aspergers.
For me for me pls
