18 Again (2020)

Just watch this now

This is one of the few reviews I will write but omg everything about this show was so good, the variety of casting with wi ha joon and lee do hyun. The premise is really unique too for the time, he goes back in his 18 year old body and tries to fix the problems in his life basically. The story was well written and I just don't know why this isn't more talked about still. Lee do hyun's acting is never bad and the children were also such a joy to watch. I know the age gap is a little weird but I didn't mind it at all since it was him just in a better body :D. That 's all I will say, I will continue to watch lee do hyun's dramas.

This drama is packed with emotions , comedy , romance and even an action scene between THOR and CAPTAIN (XOXO). If I compare the drama with the parent movie "17 again" then I would personally favor the drama though it is not right to compare them as a whole. The acting and inner thoughts of the characters is at times tear-jerking .
Cinematography is brilliants , the change and transition of scenes is done in a smart way.
The only minus point is the slow pace of the drama.
I would definitely recommend this drama . Give it a try ,I guess you won't regret .

An All Rounder

I genuinely haven’t watched something so warm and uplifting in a while. This drama is a remake of the American movie but it’s so much more. The main characters are so enjoyable. Drama touches upon core issues such as importance of family, difficulties of early parenthood, rocky school life and finding yourself even in the midst of a chaotic, degrading life cycle. The father/children relationship is heartwarming and makes you bawl. It makes you realize the hardships your parents might’ve went through to give you a good life. It also digs deep into how children give back without expressing through words. Main lead, Lee Do Hyun, is so charming and believable as a father of two teenagers; I was stunned with his amazing acting abilities. This drama is truly a gem.

The Value of Family

I did not expect this KDRAMA is this good. I was just expecting that the main leads are good in their craft and acting skills. But I was really amazed by the story. You will definitely laugh and cry at the same time. The values taught in this story is really the reality happening in each family or household. It was executed well by each character. Expectedly each character has a good background but I'm still in awe seeing them all together on one screen and was really glad that I was able to see this drama immediately. This is a MUST watch kdrama. Main male leads are both soooo good in their roles. They are matched in heaven. Overall this is a really feel good and warm drama.

WHY YOU MUST WATCH IT

Our first obvious reason on why you should watch this show is very simple. It tells the parent's experience and shows the life of two highschool kids who had a child at a young age.

The second reason on why you should watch this show is, it makes you so involved in the plot that it could make you cry and laugh at any moment.

Our third reason is how our ML are both handsome guys. Two guys with one mind! How amazing! They both are good-looking and have very good acting which almost brought me to tears.

The rewatch value is so high because there are so many memorable clips and episodes that just makes you want to rewatch. Especially episode 16 ending, the ending is what we are all expecting!!! Lets cheer for our HONG fammmmmm!!!!!!

A DEFINITE MUST WATCH!!!

such a great dramaaaa, perfect blend of friendship, family and romance. I love how the stories depict the culture and hardship of being young parents, how public view them and kinda look down on them. Despite the story having hundreds of subplots and not fully developed to its potential, I enjoyed every bits of it. I almost cried in every episodes and lee do hyun did a great jobbb in potraying the character. despite being the cute lee do hyun I could see the ahjusshi in him, like a real father. There were funny scenes too and so it was fun to watch. An emotional roller coaster indeed. love love loveeee the drama!!

Beautiful story of Second chances

Likes
1. Everything about the drama was beautiful!! The three leads were so terrific and their chemistry worked so well. There was a seamless transition between Woo Young and Dae Young, it really felt like they were the same people. Kim Haneul is gorgeous as always.
2. The visuals!! 🥰 all the guys were handsome and the girls were pretty! Except for the bad coach, i loved all the friendships and how supportive they are of each other. I absolutely loved Aerin!
3. Perfect balance of laughter and tears. My favorite storyline was of Dae Young and his dad and the sign language scene 😭. And when Sia finally called up Dae Young to tell him she misses her dad.
4. The cinematography was so pretty too. And the OST. Im sad they didnt release the OST album coz i really wanted to get my copy.
5. So many life lessons about dreams, family, marriage and relationships.

"There are days when we hated each other. But thanks to that, we understand each other better. We learn to appreciate each other more. And we love more. There were more days when we were happier. For that happiness, we decided to love our decisions . We chose people based on love. And we are grateful for our decisions."

"In life, even if you miss out on happiness, as long as you have that one person who will look for happiness with you, your life will be worth living. Dont forget that you love each other. Be disappointed that you cannot cherish each other better. And promise for a better tomorrow. Just like that, our lives will continue."

Dislikes
1. Wished for more scenes between the twins. They dont seem to be close.
2. Deokjin-Ms Ok romance dragged on for too long. It was hard to see Deokjin get rejected so many times when he's such a nice guy. I thought he would go well with Aerin coz they're both sweet and hilarious but at least Aerin got a potential boyfriend in the end.

Rating: 9.5/10

MUST WATCH

It was very refreshing and heartwarming drama. Despite the plot of an almost 40 year old family man turn back as 18 again, it was not cliche and the family conflicts and personal dilemma are very realistic. There is a lot of life lessons, reflection and realizations you can get.

The casting was also well pick. The cast portray well the characters magnificently. Especially Lee Do Hyun, he greatly portray his part, very realistic without exaggerations or overly portrayal. He has a great potential in acting. You will surely love this especially his proficient acting.

On other part, the storyline was too stretch and a lot of filler scenes and sub plots that are not really necessary and skipable scenes. The drama should have been atleast 8 - 14 episodes and should have a more great plot twist. Because the story line was so narrow and can predict already what will be the end of the series. But despite that, it was very interesting due to the good portrayal of the cast and team of the given plot. The development of the characters was well place too. Everyone grow and does not left any characters behind.
Above all, this drama is a must watch and Lee Do Hyun is highly commendable. This drama is highly recommended. Sit back, relax and watch this.

A Heartwarming, Touching & Cute Story

I was not planning on trying this drama when I first heard about it and saw that it started airing, but gave it a chance after seeing the high ratings. AND it sure did not disappoint! I was in love with the drama after two episodes and slowly watched every episode in order to save them and enjoy every minute of it. There is just so many things to love about this drama. It covers various genres and topics which are delivered by talented actors (Lee Do Hyun especially!). I am so glad I decided to try this drama when I did because it would have been a shame if I missed out on this gem of a drama! Would totally recommend if you enjoy the warm family type of dramas. I think that if you enjoyed Go Back Couple, you would love this one too! It has all the same family vibes and deep tearjerking moments that hit you all of a sudden.

Now, things I liked:
1. ABSOLUTELY LOVE LEE DO HYUN'S ACTING!- I loved him in Hotel del Luna and he definitely did not disappoint me in this drama but rather made me more amazed at how well he acts. He did better than I expected and really brought the Wooyoung/Daeyoung to life. He is also such eye candy with his cute and handsome/charismatic charm in certain scenes.
2. The plot- I enjoyed Go Back Couple so this aspect of the plot played a role in convincing me to give it a try. It never got explained how Daeyoung changed to his younger appearance but I think that was not a big problem for the story development or the ending. I also loved how there are some parts set up to make you assume something will happen but it isn't what you expect (or maybe just for me).
3. OST- Absolutely love love love love the ost!! Sohyang's voice absolutely breaks my heart every time I hear it play in the drama. She does an amazing job singing that song and helping the scene with emotional factors. All the other OSTs were also so great though! I keep playing them on repeat.
4. Romance- I love how this drama does not overdo it with the romance aspect but puts a decent amount. I do not like super cringy and cheesy romance dramas so this was super great for me. I love the side character's romance stories, particularly Jiho and Shi Ah! They are too adorable together!
5. Great Genres/Topics Covered- I love how the drama discusses various topics about marriage and life in general from the very start. The first episode narrated that it would have been a happy ending if the story stopped here, which is true since many dramas end with a happy ending as such. But this drama discusses those problems that happen after marriage and the happy ending. I really loved how the last episode touched on this topic again by showing that Daeyoung and Dajung still get into arguments and hate each other at moments as real couples do in life. I liked that it didn't just end with their wedding but touched that part again. Other topics were Dajung's older married women getting a career and people not trusting/looking down on people without college degrees.
6. Superb Acting Overall- There is a great cast for this drama. It was the first time for me watching the actor playing Ye Jihoon act but he was amazing! His smile is a killer. As for the other roles, though I thought some of the supporting roles were not perfect at acting and seemed a bit stiff delivering their lines, it didn't distract me too much while watching. But it was overall great acting done by everyone.

Things I didn't like:
1. The kiss- the only thing that bothered me somewhat was the three kisses that Dajung and Wooyoung had in the drama. It felt kinda weird even though it shouldn't be since Wooyoung is Daeyoung and her husband.

Nothing else to mention besides that. I JUST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND PEOPLE TO CHECK THIS DRAMA OUT!

A great drama!

At first when I watched this, it was back in September where I procrastinated and didn't pay attention in school. This was a great drama. I feel like the adaptation was better than the original and it always found a way to keep you hooked onto the plot. When I watched, I instantly fell in love with all the male cast. At first I watched this for Lee Do-hyun because of his role in Hotel Del Luna but I started to fall for Hwang In Yeop. His character really stood out and can really show how it relates to the real world and Im so happy I got to see his character grow and adapt. Sadly he doesn't get the girl :(
