About Young Hearts

Young Hearts (originally Malhação) follows the messy, funny and intense lives of teenagers who spend their days around a local gym club in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, before the setting later moves to a high school. The show tracks friendships, romances, rivalries and family pressures as characters try to balance school, work and relationships. Each episode blends soap-style twists with comic moments, giving younger viewers scenes about identity, loyalty and first loves without resolving every conflict at once. Over seasons, new ensembles rotate through the shared locations, so the focus shifts while the central idea of teen life in a close community stays constant.

Released in 1995, the series was directed by Adriano Melo and created by Andréa Maltarolli, Emanuel Jacobina and Jô Abdu. It began as an original TV concept rather than an adaptation, and its pilot season set the tone for a format that would allow frequent cast refreshes.

As a television series, Young Hearts had no theatrical box office, so there are no ticket revenue figures to report. Its performance is measured by broadcast ratings and audience recognition instead of cinema grosses, and it used serialized TV scheduling to build a steady teen following.

The show became a recognizable fixture for Brazilian teen viewers, familiar for its recurring locations and rotating casts. Over time it helped introduce young actors to national audiences and influenced how teen stories were told on Brazilian television, with viewers often remembering particular seasons or characters more than the continuous plot.

Critical and audience reception has been mixed to positive, with a Vote Average of 6.2/10 from 34 votes reflecting modest enthusiasm. Reviewers and fans point to its mix of soap drama and comedy, and its main themes include adolescent romance, family conflict, peer pressure and the trials of growing up in an urban Brazilian setting.
