Like the other reviews, I have to agree that the story and plot had an amazing potential that wasn't properly used. There are lots of loose strings plot wise by the end of the drama; However, I would like to say that it's worth watching just because of the characterization of the main lead as well as the depiction of teen life, social statuses, family abuse, bullying and the pacing of time. I was truly invested and moved by this drama throughout each episode. They tackled many themes through the drama and might have been overambitious with the romantic side of the drama. I believe, "Moments at Eighteen" would have been more successful if they had removed the rather mediocre but still true teen romance out of the equation and dealt with the other more serious thematic at hand, that is, unless they had made more episodes to discuss the other themes.Overall, I love the main lead and went through this journey with him.
The acting was amazing, and the episode titles were also spectacular!!

Absolutely PERFECT!!!
This netflix adaptation of the manwa shot and got the most perfect balance between laughter and tears. The drama and comedy is sure to entertain anyone, just give it a chance!!! Every character is well-developed. Even if some scenarios might be bewildering (hence the comedy) the morals of each episode will touch your heart (hence the empathy, and obviously the middle is drama).I could empathize with the characters since the main brother-sister duo weren't financially fortunate and had family issues, as an older sister in a similar situation I loved watching characters with similar thought processes.
I LOVE THIS DRAMA AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!!
It's a perfect break from the typical romance storyline as it's a family drama!

Chemistry
Personally, the plot wasn't very interesting to me (and felt a bit slow paced), but I kept watching 'cause the actors did an AMAZING job and the main leads had lots of chemistry.From the first episode, I had the impression that the drama would contain more comedic scenes (sadly not much-would have been cool to play with the interpretation of luck more literally), however they had loads of sweet moments and most importantly the ML wasn't an irrational jerk. For once, I could actually stand the main love interest while pitying the second lead rather than despising him.
