The World of My 17 is the adaptation of a popular webtoon, set around the lives of a group of friends and their adventures: their crushes and romantic relationships, as well as the ups and downs in their friendships.
The drama fell victim of the usual high school kdrama troops: there's a cold-hearted yet beautiful girl that attracts everyone to her, there's a bully with a tragic backstory, there's a very bubbly main lead that believes the world is made of rainbows, there's the adorable airhead and there's the outspoken wannabe idol girl. This aspect really limits
any authenticity given that many times the writers will always have to break the same old boxes they put their own characters in.
Nonetheless, it had the gift of a very fluid story with no halts whatsoever and a good pacing - with just a little bit of an awkward acting here and there (i'm staring at you HyunBin). And it wasn't badly produced, just plain and simple, with some good lovely life lessons. It was nice that we got the point of view of various characters and generally speaking, the main cast is adorable. The very ending scene was my favourite.
