Thirty But Seventeen (2018)

One of my comfort dramas

Maybe a little bit bias because this is one of my comfort dramas, but if you are someone who watch k-drama to sort of just unwind, you might enjoy this one. Honestly think this is one of the best feel good dramas. It's heartwarming, adorable and healing. Sure there will be moments that you'd cry or feel sad, but there would be much more moments where you'll smile, feel touched and happy. (and healed? hahaha)

I just finished re-watching it now so I feel empty again.

Also if you are a fan of Shin Hye Sun, you might enjoy this one. She's such a great actress!

This is just perfect

The story line is exciting and inspiring at the same time. I fell in love with the characters and also the great plot twists and turns throughout the drama. There are subtle hints throughout the drama but is enough only for you to be excited and be more curious thus not ruining the plot twists. I love the house used as the setting, most particularly the secret room below the stairs and the glass roof. The casting is perfect specially the for the female lead because it's really hard to portray such character of being immature but still maintaining the composure of being mature. If someone else starred on this drama, it might actually be overly cute that would be very mushy for the show but this one is just perfect. I usually hate antagonists but for this one I'm glad that I was able to see the antagonist changing for the better and being friends with the protagonist. Also the male lead actually stole my heart completely.

Another plus points for adding classical music throughout the drama. I as able to understand more about classical music. The OST is one of the best part for me. It made me cry several times and I keep listening to those songs on my playlist even though I finished watching the drama. If I were given a chance to re-watch 50 K-Dramas before I die, this would definitely be part of my list.

I love this kind of drama. The story is amazing. But what disturbed me the most is the fact that the development of the story is very very very slow! I can't forget how desperate I was several times while watching this. I almost dropped this drama, not once but three times! Gosh.

The story, as you can see from its title, is about someone who's already on her 30 but because she had a terrible accident while she was 17 and brought her to coma. When she finally woke from years of coma, she can't cope with the fact that she's 30 already. And that's it, the story is about her adjusting into her real age.

The main leads are both adorable. This is the first time I watched a drama and found nothing to hate about the characters.

I’ve watched this drama about three times and every time I do, I discover something new. I just finished watching for the 3rd time and I cried and laughed just as much as I did when I saw it the first time, if not more. Because I already knew the story line, I was able to empathize and sympathize with this beautiful cast and their stories. Every character was so important, every story was important. I love this drama and for me it was perfect. The leads have such a comfortable relationship and it makes watching this all the more fun. I would definitely be watching again in the future.

A cute, well acted, well written story

10/10 is my rating. This is a 2018 South Korean tv drama spanning 32, ~30 minute, episodes. It is also known as "Still Seventeen". Gong Woo-jin (Yang Se-jong) is a reclusive 30-year-old man who has closed himself off from others. A tragic event has left him unhappy and emotionally distant. Thirty years before he transformed from a happy teenager who easily smiled to a depressed and withdrawn person who no longer felt he had a right to smile. Woo Seo-ri (Shin Hye-sun) at 17 was a talented musician and a mystery girl whom teen aged Woo-Jin had a crush on. Seo-ri’. Thirteen years later, she wakes up from her coma. Her mental age is still that of a 17-year-old, but she is now 30-years-old. Gong Woo-jin and Woo Seo-ri get involved with each other and fall in love.

Spoiler ? Everything about this was perfect in my book. The plot was believable and interesting. The love story was beyond cute and heart warming. And it ended really well. I would not change a thing. Highly recommend this wonderful feel good romance.

This drama is complete entertainment package ..It has some funny moments ,emotionally connected with each part of the episode ,some deep sad moments but the funny and cute love story.They brought love triangle but drama didn't show much attention towards other leads who have genuine feeling towards lead actress so not felt sad for them .I enjoyed this drama thoroughly , background music was perfect totally fit according to the situation and songs were so good especially the one ,"stay with me"..
Jennifer slow dialogue not let understand by other characters in this drama make a episode too much funny .Chan and his two friends and their friendship were too good .Soo rie and Mr.Gong past amazingly connected.

Fun, cute, lovable story.

A really fun and cute story that it's easy to watch. I laughed a lot but I also cried a couple of times. It makes you care about the characters and connect with them. They all were quite mature and reacted to the different situations in a good way, so you don't end up disliking any of the main characters.
The only thing i disliked is that they present "hints" of some mysteries but then they take too long to actually explain what's going on, and there are no other hints that could help you figure it out.
Also, it can be quite frustrating. There were multiple times when something was about to happen but just for a little thing it doesn't, the characters are sometimes quite naive and clueless.
Overall, it is a nice story with nice characters. It's not complicated to understand, something good to watch if you want to get entertained for a bit.

Time is gold, but it isn't the world

Ahh, I won't deny, I'm obviously so in love with it! I thought it was going to be a melodrama because it tackles tragedy and stuff, but I was wrong! It was more than just a melancholy, it possess something that I can't even put to words.

The characters, the story, the music and the cast were so perfect. It gave me warmth wherein I've only watched it for 3 days but I felt so attached feeling like I was a part of their family. It was a light drama, but what happened to the main characters where heavy. It made me cry but it also made me realize that yes time will heal anything, but what will heal the time? It was a drama that circulated in healing and not just between the leads, but the whole characters. They helped each other heal even if they were still broken, and let each other mend shattered parts.

I loved the connection between the past and the present. Adding the music, it was all a sweet serendipity. The twist of fate and the click of time, that was perfect. Their parallel past and rollercoaster present was written perfectly, just as the leads were made for each other perfectly. It was an example of "everything happens for a reason". The love that went from each characters, the laugh they shared as family, I also felt it too. And that was what the drama left me.

As Yoo Chan always said, "Don't think, feel". You will really feel the beauty this drama offers, and you will feel the beauty of life. On how age doesn't define a person, or on how achievements doesn't define talent. It will always come down to how great you are as a person and how happy you live.

There were no evil 2nd leads, no stealing of love and no antagonists. It was all love. Well of course there are some casts with no happy endings but that's life, and this drama will let you open the door through happiness along with love.
