Moment at Eighteen (2019)

Very touching drama, nice male and female leads and interesting other characters, especially Mr Oh the teacher - why do we never get teachers like this in real life? Covers many teen problems, not just romance, various sub-plots keep interest going. I thought it dragged in the middle, with lot of unoriginal school tropes. Can get too heavy, especially with male lead's struggles, one after another, but glad I stayed with it. Start of last episode I thought it had a credible conclusion but of course it then drowned in "corn" and tears, helped by the soulful music . This romantic type of drama, it seems this is inevitable. Need to be in sentimental mood for tears.

A nice melodrama coming of age

The drama is kinda well-written
I'm astonished by the directing. And I look foward to her next projects.
Tho the pace might seems slow, it has captured beautiful moments of these teenagers , so raw and realistic
Every character has their own flaws, but they're still kids and I enjoyed watching them grow throughout the show
The cast's acting was really good, beyond my expectation
The future for Shin and Ong are bright, I love all the supporting characters especially Kang Kiyoung Han Sungmin, Yoo Insoo and Kim Sunyoung.
The romance part of Junwoo and Soobin was draggy, but they felt really natural. Hope these two can have another project together
As for watching value, because of its pace I have to skip some part still this is one of the most beautiful high school drama that South Korea ever had.

This drama began and ended very beautifully.

There is no complexity in this drama yet the emotions brought out by simply watching this drama was intense. I loved the sweet, adorable first loves spewing around all the characters in the drama. And the sheer innocence which leads them to take the boldest decisions of their lives.

The drama had showcased almost every possible situation which could take place in the lives of normal high schoolers. Such as being gay, loathed by everyone due to circumstances. And it is not only the students but even the parents and the teachers who are either highly corrupted or extremely supportive respectively.

Anyways, I shed all the tears of my life during the last episodes of this drama (around 12th - 16th). So I believe this drama had hit me hard and I really loved it and would suggest each and everyone I know to definitely watch it!!!

O dorama começa com um clima leve, apesar de muitos conflitos acontecendo ao nosso protagonista, durante os episódios não acontece nada realmente muito pesado como eu achei que seria.
Os nossos protagonistas Jun Woo e Yu SooBin tem uma química muito perfeita, é tudo muito bem trabalhado e nada é forçado, é realmente relaxante e fofo acompanhar esses dois protagonistas, quanto ao "Vilão" do dorama Hwi Young; Eu achei ele realista, não é um vilão totalmente maldoso, apenas alguém com certa falta de carácter e também egoísta. Não espere muito plot twist nessa história, quanto ao final do dorama; Eu achei um tanto largado e mau resolvido, e não deram destaque a um outro casal, o que é realmente chato.Apesar disso recomendo assistirem, é ótimo para descansar enquanto maratona.

I was an Italian translator on Viki for this drama, it had a huge potential that faded into nothing. Even so I didn't watch it as a public, I saw many pieces that made me understand the story completely. Sadly the huge potential of portraying the Korean teen society led to the classic rom-com with an unclear end just because they had to let it finish on time or another. A good drama to watch if you don't really have nothing else or if you just like this of stories...

Frustrating

God I really hate how they portray the system in this series. True or, not - I cannot see how any of the bad characters can have any kind of redemption beyond having them jump off their famous suicide bridge you see in every other drama. I will stick with this all the way to the end and then, write of the overall feeling and such but, at the end of episode 5 - my only wish is to have all the bad guys go off a cliff in a bus together. LOL

Let's kill all the good people and have anyone who has half a soul have a miserable life. Everyone else who has money and control - let them be happy and only worry about where they are going to spend their money. Jeez - you ended up having more compassion for the crazy rich girl in My Absolute Boyfriend than any of these villain losers. And, whether it happens or, not - if the villains are turned into good guys/people - I would just place that as lazy writing. In the real world that just doesn't happen.

this show is boring. just talking

the show is just non-stop talking. the cast I can't say much but the love triangle was great but still..... boring. and also the soundtrack is not that bad. I don't recommend rewatching because the show has no fun and mostly talking. if they want to make this show better, I suggest a second lead syndrome or maybe a better script for the love triangle or add something more intense during the drama like one of the main cast died in an accident or more fighting between the love triangle. I will recommend those who are reading my review to watch other shows. not this one. please
