adorable, fun, & heartwarming - aka: a MUST WATCH
This drama was really really good! When I first heard that there would be a kdrama remake of Zac Efron's 17 Again, I was skeptical. There was a lot about the original movie that felt weird to me, and I wasn't sure how this story would translate to 16 hours of screentime.
However, this adaption came out almost PERFECT. It had everything I loved; adorable and fun characters, an over-the-top but engaging plot, hilarious moments, an all-around loveable cast of characters, and just enough angsty, teary moments to round everything out. Very few dramas actually bring me through the whole range of emotions, but this one did and it did it well. While it is definitely overall a sappy romance, there's just as much heartwarming family love, friendships, and coworkers relationships to go around.
The switches between the adult and high school worlds were always fun and gave the drama so much more material to work with! Though I sometimes wanted more time with certain characters, I feel that the drama did a good job balancing all their story-lines. It flowed together nicely, and the ML (both the young and old versions) did a great job of bringing the two characters and worlds together!
After finishing and reflecting on this drama for a bit, it's only gotten better! Though I watched it as it aired, I can only image it would be just as good to binge. I highly recommend watching!!
