Thirty But Seventeen is a very beautiful story about innocence, finding strength to face your past and your fears and the power that love truly holds to nurture your wounds.

This is a very sweet drama that literally makes you feel good. I felt my heart swelling every episode because everything from the acting, the characters, the music and the story progression create a very innocent, heartfelt world you want to immerse yourself in.

This drama is, for me, the epitome of pure love. The progression of Seo-ri and Woo-jin's relationship feels natural and flows from the events they live together (and separately). And it's one of the sweetest, most innocent loves I've seen portrayed in a korean drama. When I was looking at their romantic scenes I could not help but feel years younger. The main leads chemistry have the quality to transport you to a world where everything seems pure, and innocent and love is truly disinterested. When I finished Thirty But Seventeen I couldn't help but feel purified.

The plot is refreshing as well and one of the many reasons I enjoyed this drama so much is the lack of "negative" character trope. While there is someone that tries to create disturbance in the main female lead's life, their actions too are understandable and you can empathize with her choices. Every character feels human in their choices and that is a huge plus for me when watching any kind of film / series.

I do however feel that at points the plot was dragging and there were too many, annoyingly missed opportunities for resolution of the conflict which created the feeling that the story went a bit longer than needed. But this did not take away much from the beauty of the story, which is why I still rated it high and dearly recommend it!
