27-year-old Zhong Xiao Xiao leads an ordinary life until, at a class reunion, she attempts to give a DV recording to her crush, Xu Yang. However, when the DV is turned on, she is sent back to the age of 17. Xu Yang, once a cold academic prodigy, remains distant. Zhong Xiao Xiao soon discovers that her time jumps erratically, only flowing normally when near Xu Yang. As she learns more about his hidden side, fate brings Xu Yang to live with her, leading to a series of ironic and unexpected events. (Source: MyDramaList) Edit Translation

Back to 17 changes your 27's love story

Back to Seventeen is a solid short love story.
Considering it is just 3-4 minutes per episode, this drama is worth watching! I enjoy watching it every day since it started airing 1st eps. I also love the ending even though we only get them as a couple for the last 30 seconds haha

(+) Everything is so good: plot, editing, background music, lead chemistry, happy ending
(-) Not enough couple moments *uppsss

Thank you for giving us a good short drama, Back to Seventeen's producing team. Well done!!!!

The Best Time Travel Mini Mini Drama Love Story You Will Ever Watch

This is my first and possibly last review. The only reason I am writing this is to persuade more people to watch this, in spite of it's low rating of 8, it really deserves 9.5 as a minimum!

I caveat it as a mini mini drama because each episode is on average 3-6 minutes long. There's not even an opening or ending song just a couple of repeated tracks. So you are totally focussed on the drama.

I really like this premise - Zhong Xiao Xiao goes back in time and actually gets to know the guy she has a crush on. She had a longstanding crush on Xu Yang who never knew anything, and I don't think she really knew him either just thought he was cute. Left school, that was it, all left behind.

Won't spoil it except to say she gets to know him and she gets to know other people along the way.

What stands out for this series is they manage to fit in a cohesive time travel story, relationship developments, comedy golden moments and even angst all in a matter of minutes in an episode. No fillers involved, and you truthfully just want more of their story.

Fine nuanced acting is in every second (we only have minutes to play with) here for all the key actors in their stories - you will feel the sadness/elation with the characters for the 4 minutes that the drama is on. I highlight episodes 9, 20 and 24 as great examples of these.

Many seem to think this would make great movie but I beg to differ - the way this was edited and shot was just excellent, drama series style - designed to give you that lingering cliffhanger feeling and wanting more with each episode closure. IN 4 MINUTES! And they achieved it with every episode.

Please, please watch this and give these 2 lead actors and the production crew the credit they deserve. And watch it without spoilers - I mean the drama is pretty short, no need to make it shorter by spoiling it 😆 The surprises/plot twists uncovered were all pretty good/unexpected, rest assured.

GO WATCH IT!
