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.
