18 Again is an adaptation of the American movie 18 Again. The only difference is that this is not rushed and there is a purpose for each character. The story has a few twists and turns - enough to keep you hooked - and in the end you definitely wish that you had a father like Hong Dae-young (Yoon Sang-hyun) [at least I did].
This is yet another series that will pull you into the vortex of 'The Second Lead Syndrome' even though here I personally did not see Goo Ja-sung (Hwang In Yeop) a good fit for Shi-ah (Roh Jeong-eui) due to their personalities. but definitely hoped that Ye Ji Hoon (Wi Ha Joon) will have a good romantic ending even if it is not with Jung Da-jung (Kim Ha-neul).
To me the best part of the series was Ye Ji-hoon's smile. The man really lifted me up on some of my shitty days. He played a big part [in my opinion] in making Dad Young a good husband and his back-story too is heartwarming.
All in all the series is good if you are interested in a casual watch. It does get dragged a little bit here and there but I am satisfied with how the story rolled out overall. Every element in the series was there for a reason and it showed. To me the message resonated the best - for any relationship to work you need to communicate to understand the other person's perspective.
I hope you watch it and enjoy it as much as I did!
