A nice melodrama coming of age
The drama is kinda well-writtenI'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!!!

Just had to go and do it...
Up to this point I thought we'd escape the woke LGBmouse junk in the script but, no...some writer needed to add this as if it were a new spice necessary for all recipe's now. I wished they would have had the main character and his girlfriend standing up to lunatic mother. Hitting a child like that, if that's a norm for Korean families, is detestable. Had I been the boyfriend mom would have been escorted to the car.All in all, a fun and thought provoking drama. The teacher is coming out to be a real hero in all of this!

One of the best Korean school dramas ever. The best thing about this drama is - it speaks volume about Korean school pressure!

Moment of Sweet Teens
Such a sweet , heartwarming school drama. The story had me hooked since the beginning and made me care about about the characters, great job on that.The actors are pretty good , male lead is a good casting and his mom is so adorable , all the friends characters and that bad guy , Class teacher and his supermarket part timer girlfriend all of them did an excellent portrayal .
Only gripe is that the FL could have been someone else , i felt she lacked the charm and the chemistry a little .
Although the scenes made up for it , i felt she might have been replaced with someone else could have made me care for their love even more . thats how i felt it.
Anyways , that last ep 16 about the Mom's situation broke me into tears and scenes were done nicely to keep me choked and tearing up frequently till the end.
Overall , a satisfying watch.

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. LOLLet'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. pleaseWas this review helpful to you?
Uma referência de drama escolar
Acho que podia ter desenvolvido melhor alguns personagens secundários, como o do Moonbin, mas a história é muito realista em vários pontos. Você se apega aos personagens e se emociona com as dificuldades de cada um, percebe que ninguém é totalmente mau ou justo. Os atores são muito bons, começando pela Hyanggi e pelo Ong. (protagonistas).Recomendo muito para quem gosta de séries sobre jovens e os seus mil e um problemas, me lembra até um pouco "Quando Éramos Jovens" de 2018 da China ou "Escola 2017" da Coreia.
Tem OSTs incríveis, como "Moments" do Christopher e "Our Story" do próprio Ong. Vale a pena ver!

Je pense, que Moment at Eighteen se classera parmi mes dramas favoris sans trop de problème.Les points forts :
Le rythme -> en un épisode on passe du rire aux larmes, puis du fangirling à la tristesse à nouveaux, bref on s'ennuie pas!
Les événements sont bien répartit sur la durée du drama.
Les visuels -> le drama est bien filmé, les plans sont très beaux, certaines scènes sont si bien faites (plan + acteurs + rendu final), très naturelles.
Les thèmes abordés -> la différence de classe, le harcèlement, le fais que les adultes peuvent être d'une immaturité ahurissante dans des moments ou les jeunes auraient besoin de la sagesse de leur expérience, que l'amour peut être plus fort qu'une averse ou un orage dans une relation, et surtout, le pardon de ceux qui font des erreurs par maladresse et non pas par méchanceté pure.
Le cast -> il est incroyable, les acteurs sont en moyenne très jeunes et pourtant ils jouent tous super bien, le jeu est réaliste, pas de fioritures. Les émotions sont palpables et touchantes.
Mention au jeu de Ong & Seung Oh qui sont hyper bons, Ong est très expressif et pour un premier main role j'ai trouvé ça incroyable.
Les points faibles :
La gestion des événements -> une fois que la romance est installée je trouve qu'elle à parfois tendance à gommer certains événements.
La fin -> j'apprécie la fin ouverte, toutefois à croire les personnages on croirait que JW change de pays alors que bon... ce n'est que quelques heures de bus.
En conclusion, je pense qu'il y a de belles morales et de bons messages à en tirer, il est super à regarder et je le recommanderai volontiers. :)
