Thirty But Seventeen (2018)

Such a beautiful, feel good, laugh out loud, cry yourself insane kinda drama!

Oh my what a superb, beautiful drama with all sorts of healing and growth going on. Absolutely loved it. It captured the painful moments so well with the heartbreaking soundtracks, combined with the uplifting and heartening ones that left us full of energy and happiness. I cried buckets, laughed out loud like a complete idiot and just all round felt engaged throughout. Wonderful pacing, wonderful story, wonderful cast (such chemistry!), just truly wonderful on every level. Jeongmal kamsahamnida <333

Really going to miss it now...ugh that doom and gloom void that us kdrama lunatics feel once you've marathoned and completed a truly gripping, beautiful drama.

I just finished watching this series and to be honest I really was not sure if I should watch it or not but now that I did am glad I watched it.
STORY-
At first I thought the story was quite unique like a girl gets out of the comma after years. I actually predicted the story to be totally different. My idea of this drama was that maybe after the girl gets up she would once again go to school and the boy would follow her and help her but I got it totally wrong. So at first I was quite disappointed but after the first 2 episodes itself I felt myself getting hooked up with the story. I was excited to see how the story would turn out once all the secrets are out. And trust me it really did turn out well. So for me it's a 9/10 for the story.

CAST-
I thought the cast was well chosen. The main lead guy was very cute and handsome and did a pretty good job. Many people didn't like the female lead calling her annoying but I think she was just doing her job. She had to act like a 17 year old so didn't find it annoying at all. The second lead i.e the nephew, he was too cute and charming to be honest. If the girl would had end up with him I don't think i would mind it at all because I liked him a lot. Really felt bad for him. The nanny was quite funny and really did an excellent job. All the characters were on point too. Overall I think no other cast would have been better. Andddd not to forget the dogggg!!! The cutest dog I have ever seen. It was so well trained Everytime I saw it I would rewatch just for the dog.

MUSIC
The music was also good, not the best but not worst either.

Overall I enjoyed this drama. If u like cute guys then it's for u go watch it. There were even scenes which were quite emotional so overall it's a complete package with lots of smiles, laughs, happiness, emotions, tears, betrayal, etc.

I was a bit disappointed at first, I found the first 5 episodes a bit boring . However by the time we reached episode 10 I was over that and I started to dread the moment of the inevitable reveal, but I was pleasantly surprised when that moment came (very late in the series), because the revelation drama/conflict had gotten resolved swiftly and the resolution was very beautiful and unexpected. Throughout the entire show I was waiting for various terrible things to happen, but they were only teased, none of them came to be. (such as extreme love triangle plots, forced separation, or strong rivalry induced melodrama) This is one of those shows that's about enjoying the journey, rather than anticipating the end. I really liked the character interactions, the comedy and the main leads had great chemistry, the entire cast was amazing really. Having watched Legend of the Blue Sea I kept thinking how much better Shin Hyesun could have been at being a hapless mermaid, I like Jun Jihyun as an actress, but that mermaid character was nearly identical to this 30 years old teen character, but it's blatantly obvious whom this role fit better.

The OST was awesome, not at Goblin levels, but not much worse really.

First off...WHAT A FREAKING SHOW GUYS! I mean that in the most positive, amazing way possible. Every time Viki recommends a show for me, I'm like meh, okay, then it turns out to be absolutely amazing and this one does not stray. The last 2 shows I've watched, didn't really matter to me but let me tell you right now, this show is amazing. Can we first get off get a HELL YES TO THE AMAZING ACTING AND CHARACTER THAT AHN HYO SEOP PLAYED BECAUSE YESSSS! HE WAS SO AMAZING!!! Yang Se Jong and Shin Hye Sun were both very amazing together, even though Yang Se Jong's nose kind of bothers me but that's a personal preference and let's not forget Ye Ji Won as Jennifer because yes. The whole story was amazing, I was a little iffy at first but I laughed, I cried and I loved along with this whole show. Every character was absolutely amazing because of how they clicked and the family that they held together and I'm kind of glad the drama waited until towards the end because it really made this show really pushing through, not that pushing through it was a problem anyway. I just binged watch this whole show and I would entirely do it all again because it was such a fantastic show and worth everything. I wasn't too fond of the OST but that's cool with me.

This was such a romantic and emotional drama. Another KDrama with excellent main leads playing and telling a great story. I loved Yang Se Jong in "My Country" and I loved him in this drama. I am so glad I got to watch this. Yang looked different in this drama vs My Country, but still awesome and I know he can play the part that is given to him. Shin Hye Sun I have watched several of the KDramas she played in. Shin Hye Sun is also another excellent actress. I loved the 3 college students and my favorite actress in the Kdrama is (roll drum) Ye Ji Won, I mean she played her character "Jennifer" ON POINT! I laughed so hard when Yoo Chan referred to maid Jennifer as a walking Google.

Come fanno questi coreani ad essere così adorabili? Ma che li prenderesti e te li spupazzeresti di coccole, tanto sono teneri. Dei peluche con gli occhi a mandorla.

Anche in questo drama, il destino la fa da padrone. Inizialmente crudele, poi diventa un po' più benevolo e si fa perdonare.

I due attori protagonisti sono davvero bravi, hanno un bel feeling e la dolcezza la fa da padrone. Entrambi rimasti in un certo senso bloccati a 17 anni, uno per il senso di colpa, l'altra per forze maggiori, riusciranno a sbloccarsi e ad andare avanti solo quando si ritroveranno.
I personaggi secondari sono l'amore, a partire dal nipote di lui (don't think, PILL!) passando per la governante che parla come un automa a suon di citazioni.
Un finale che ti rimette in pace con il mondo, non prima di averti strappato la lacrimuccia.
Consigliatissimo. ?

Drama noioso ... inconsistente ... perdita di tempo assicurata.

Una noia mortale per questo drama con un punteggio alto e fuorviante.
Storia costruita sul nulla, sceneggiatori probabilmente in vacanza che tra una bevuta e l'altra hanno tracciato personaggi e trama per far perdere tempo a chi, come me, ha tentato di guardare questa serie, nell'ipotesi che prima o poi qualcosa di positivo sarebbe accaduto.
Il personaggio chiave, la ragazza che è rimasta in coma per 13 anni, è completamente rimbambita, si muove non come una 17enne, ma come una oca giuliva di età non ben identificata.
Il personaggio maschile è un giovane uomo che si commuove per un cagnolino e si prodiga con ogni mezzo per non fargli mancare nulla, ma (se non fosse per il nipote liceale con più buon senso di lui) lascerebbe fuori casa una giovane e disagiata donna ... al freddo e senza mezzi ...
Tutto fino al 9 episodio visto, droppando alla grande ... poi non ho resistito e ho chiuso qui, con se ne poteva più, ma che immensa cavolata!! Potendo avrei mezzo ZERO.
