Eighteen Again (2020)

Nostalgic

The plot and message of the drama is very touching. Really encourages me to enjoy my youth more instead of worrying so much about the future. Most importantly, seeing the family slowly come together again is so heartwarming. Also the concept is funny and interesting, which is what got me into the drama in the first place. I mean the father becoming young again, experiencing school life. The entire cast did an amazing job portraying each of their character,and I love the comedy, it is not cringy or over the top. This is good if you don't want too much drama and messy plot and just want to relax a little after work

AMAZING

I decided to watch '18 Again' because I'm a huge fan of '17 Again'. Needless to say, this is more enjoyable than 17 Again. I loved everything about this. I love how they incorporated different things to make it even more enjoyable but not once allowing the viewers to get sidetracked. The acting was amazing (probably a few cringy moments here and there but every movie has that so I can forgive those). The OST was great.. i found myself getting emotional every time I heard it. i found it to be very beautiful and very fitting.
If you haven't decided whether or not to give this a try this is your sign. DO IT.

Um drama que ensina a apreciar e ser grato às pequenas coisa

Um drama que ensina a apreciar e ser grato às pequenas coisas, dizer palavras melosas à quem você ama e etc...

No início, quando o Hong Daeyong voltou a ser o ele do passado e começou a fingir ser Go wooyoung, pode até parecer que vai ser um drama bobinho, mas desde o início sabia que iria ter algo assim na história, apenas não achei que eu ficaria tão impactado enquanto estava assistindo esse drama, e principalmente quando terminei. Uma das coisas que eu mais gosteio de terem mostrado foi sobre briguinhas fúteis de casais, que não serve de nada, apenas para machucar. É um drama que ensina muitas coisas em apenas 16 eps... nunca poderia pensar que esse se tornaria um dos meus dramas favoritos de toda minha vida, até por ter subestimado ele no começo. Estou realmente muito satisfeito com o que assisti!!!

PS: As osts são tão boas!!!! Se você ainda não escutou, APENAS ESCUTE!!!! Não vai se arrepender

An entertaining watch

Well, truth be told, I watched this drama after witnessing the amazing performance by Lee Do Hyun in 'The good Bad Mother'.
I loved LDH's acting (tears roll down my cheeks, whenever I see him cry, he's just too good).
Everyone did a great job at acting.
It's got a nice story, what I didnt like was how there were so many moments, where he was on the verge of getting caught , but didnt in the end, it was fine for the first and second time, but it became annoying later in the show. There were quite a few repetitive scenes, that felt a little boring.
Humor was just amazing. Deok Jin, Ae Rin, and the people at JBC added much fun to the drama.
Overall it was an entertaining watch, with ample slice of life scenes, which I believe many can relate to. It could have been cut short by 2 episodes ( felt it was a bit lengthy). But that's okay. It's a great watch, comedy, emotions, everything pitched in perfectly fine.

This series will let you rethink your life | You will get nostalgic

Basically, a retelling of the American movie 17 again.
However, because it's a series and not a movie, they could go more in death with the story. We loved that.
The moments that the ML spends with his kids are some of the most heart breaking.
This is the first drama we saw starting the FL. She did a great job.
As expected, Lee Do-hyun did a great job with this portrayal of Baek Seung Yoo.
There are some funny, some uncomfortable, and some romantic moments to look forward to. But all in all, very entertaining.
This story shows that communication is such an important part in any relationship.

Overhyped for the right reasons - Could have been better for the "wrong" ones.

This is a drama I personally couldn't bring myself to finish.

I understand why it gets good reviews...but what's really special about it? This drama had a concept that could go to many places, story-wise and character-wise, but the writers chose the "safest" route...for both?
It works for those who haven't seen many family k-dramas, but for me who has already seen this kind of scenario thousand of times, it's nothing new. It became boring eventually.
As you can already tell from the synopsis this drama is going to focus a lot...A LOT....on the main married couple's lives and how they eventually got divorced...but something is quite strange. What in the world was turning 18 again supposed to prove here?
Honestly, if turning 18 meant for the character to chase after his ex-wife, then this whole concept was wasted. Yes, it is still well written as a story, but it's just boring, not entertaining.
That's because the writers wanted to give a message or follow the original which is, again, acceptable, but not satisfying enough.
Call me weird, but I think the romance was also wasted and at moments the relationship between the former 37 year old husband who is now on the 18 year old body and the almost 40 year old wife is just plain AWKWARD.
Obviously, they attempted to show that but quite failed at it since they were still pushing it for the sake of the "safe" route they wanted the plot to take.
If I was the writer, and I had full control over the scenario, I would have completely abandoned the family story and went straight ahead into the school life, having the 18 year old Woo Young achieve his dreams he couldn't achieve, find an awkward yet intriguing love interest, and develop a different kind of drama that wouldn't depend on the concept of marriage and it's many subplots which ended up being overused. A complete reset, a completely new life.
I just abhor the fact that so many kdramas with supernatural elements just waste EVERY potential the story could've taken. But the writers must be all a bunch of cowards who can't bring themselves to write something more...spicy.

Anyways, the drama wasn't unwatchable neither too boring. It's just that, it could've taken a different, more spicy route. Not this repetitive safe nonsense you see on almost half of family dramas. Stop recycling stories ffs.

sad, heartwarming, and relatable drama! MUST WATCH!

This kdrama is basically about a man turning back to 18 years old to get a second chance to be with his wife again (since they both got divorced).

I recommend this kdrama to any divorced couples out there because this kdrama has a lot of relable things that real life couples struggle on or need help on getting back together EVEN if you have little kids/teens. Who knows? you might regret getting divorced.

The cast are pretty attractive, their actings are top NOTCH, the music in this kdrama warms your heart like the morning sun. This Kdrama is one of the best of the year no CAP!

What i like about this drama is the PURE Romance, the plot twists at the end of every episode, the regrets, the flashbacks, literally Everything!

The endings were good, all the people in this kdrama has their unique endings towards the end of the kdrama.
The Scenery was also beautiful, and very heartwarming, and touching!!

The only question is...
How did Hong Dae-Young turn back to his regular self?

I don't think there's one single thing i dislike about this apart from this question above me.

Anyways this is my first review so please respect my opinions, thanks.

I didn't expect it that I am going to love it.

I had in the slum for Kdrama recently, and pick this one by chance looking for cheese school romance, but found gold, if not diamond instead.
And this drama made me obsessed with Lee Do Hyun. I have never put any thought about this guy before, damn don't even realize he was Mr. Butterfly in Hotel de Luna up until I search him up.

The soul of the drama is Ko Woo Young played beautifully by Lee Do Hyun. I sometimes forget that he is THAT young and yet he can materialize the character of a 36-year-old protective father who loves his children more than everything in his life. By the way, he is 25 yo but he played both roles perfectly (an 18 yo student outside and 36 yo father inside).

The best parts of the drama are the flashbacks of how the struggles of these young parents and how Woo Young tried his best to be close to his children. All these heartwarming scenes made me grabbed more tissue than I should. And the scenes with their respective parent in-law broke me into storm of cries.
I was a little thrown out by the 'love story' tho. How ironic, I came to watch romantic drama and yet find the romance in this drama has less value than the main idea of "love your family".

And the OST, gosh... This drama is about finding yourself back. More than often things in life don't go as we planned them to be and the hardship that we went through made us forget. We often forget the person that we are used to be, forget the reasons why we love our loved ones. AND everytime the song HELLO came out in the background, I felt the pang of pain. As if the song tries to say "hello again" to the old us that we have often forgotten. The old us who love everyone and was loved by everyone.

Would I re-watch it? Maybe not. I will remember (and probably go to Youtube to watch) those scenes that Lee Do Hyun brought to screen on what truly a father love is.

Heartwarming

A really nice show that melts your heart away.

The story flows really well and the casting is really great.

Got to give props to Kim Ha Neul, her acting was amazing and she was the MVP for me.

I wouldn't go and say that the show was amazing, it had some issues, for example:

* 2-5 minute repeat of the previous episode that included one or two new lines to make it feel new was kind-a of useless, I always skipped the start of each episode
* some scenes that didn't add to the story or plot but were added for some reason
* the daughter love triangle or in this case the love arrow... which didn't make a lot of sense
* the basketball cringe when they were purposely missing the basket by a huge margin

Nonetheless each episode felt fresh and I couldn't wait to watch the next one.

So I can definitely recommend it to anyone who looks for comfy show that you can snuggle and watch comfortably until the end.

Heartwarming and Fun Story

Actually i'm planning to skip this drama because reading from synopsis, I thought it's gonna be simple predictable story. But after watch a clip spoiler from instagram, when Lee Do Hyun scold the girls taking taxy to school, it so funny and I start watching it..

The first half of story actually really good and heartwarming, but the later half they kinda run out ideas, so many filler story and unnecessary scene..
But it's still fun drama to watch, superb acting from lee do hyun, funny friend go deok jin and chu ae rin, love triangle jiho-shi a-ja sung, and i like deok jin love line with the teacher@..

I recommend it if you are looking for light and fun drama.
