Unrealistic but with tearjerking moments....
So, while waiting for the next episodes of Mr. Queen, I found myself watching this on Netflix.
First off, while the story is obviously unrealistic (the being young again part), I loved the family drama angle of the story.
I honestly skipped through the stories of the other characters and just focused on Dae Jeong and Dae Yeong.
Wasn't a fan of Lee Do Hyun in Hotel del Luna but I adored him in 18 again; specially the parts where he still acted on his fatherly instinct while being a classmate of his daughter.
For me, the drama showed the struggles of teenage marriages. And while theirs ended happily, in real life, more often than not, the couple ends up separating.
Not being a Korean, I also wonder if the workplace in Korea is as discriminating as depicted in the series. From my impression of Korea, the country is undoubtedly of an upper class status, but in Kdramas, I find their society conservative in some aspects of life.
Anyway, this drama is not without it's flaws. Like when Dae Yeong's dad recognized him, but did not question as to how he came to be young again. It also did not show nor explain how he got back his old appearance. There was also the matter of his voice. It was obviously different but over the phone, no one even commented on it.
If you are looking for something to fill up the time, this would be a so-so drama to watch for me.
