This could have been wrapped up in 4 episodes
I had such high hopes for you show, 8.7 in MDL ratings and a good cast but man oh man was it a painful watch.I have no idea how I made it through all 16 episodes.
Being a remake of a movie, they obviously had to create new plot points and drag it a bit but they wayyyy overdid it, to the point where at times I would have rather gone to see my dentist.
Was there potential? YES for a 4 episodes drama, not more. Rewatch value? Zero.
I regret not having the foresight to drop this drama halfway.

Unusual second chance plot :)
PLOT: The ML & the FL, high school students (he's a basketball genius, she's pregnant), decide to keep the child (twins, 1 girl, 1 boy) and take responsibility. Life is difficult, and 18 years later, FL decides to divorce. The ML, desperate, takes a (magical) bet and regains his high school appearance. To stay in touch, he decides to enter the same high school as his children. The FL gets the TV anchor job she's long dreamed of. The (young) ML will do anything to redeem himself in the eyes of his family.+++ Great acting, even if the young ML & the older ML don't really resemble each other.
+++ We wonder where this is going!! But we suffer (for a long time) because of the ML :(
### Some lengths and inconsistencies in the second half. Everything is wrapped up by the end, but the series would have benefited from being shorter.
=> Great series, carried by the two MLs
*****************************************************************
Plot 2e chance inhabituel :)
PLOT: Le ML & la FL, lycéens (lui, génie du basket, elle enceinte) décident de garder l'enfant (jumeaux, 1 girl, 1 boy) et d'assumer. La vie est difficile, et 18 ans + tard, FL décide de divorcer. La ML désespéré, tente un pari (magique) et retrouve son physique de lycéen. Pr garder le contact, il décide d'entrer ds le mm lycée que ses enfants. //t la FL obtient le poste de présentatrice TV dont elle rêve depuis longtps. Le Ml (jeune) va tt faire pr se racheter aux yeux de sa famille
+++ TB acteurs, mm si ML jeune & ML + âgé ne se ressemblent pas vraiment.
+++ On se demande où ça mène !! Mais on souffre (longtemps) pr le ML :(
### Qq longueurs et incohérences ds la 2e moitié. Tout est bouclé à la fin, mais la série aurait gagné à être plus courte.
=> TB série, portée par les 2 ML

Importance of 2nd chance
This drama was soooo good! Inspired from the Hollywood movie 17 again, it gave an already unique idea a greater storyline and detailed characters.The flaw of each character made this story more genuine and nuanced. Every character had a great character arc and development movement which they deserved.
I was really scared about how the creators would explore the story on the main characters as the ML is portrayed as a minor! But I loved the fact that the FL was falling in love with the minor ML only because of the characteristics that he possessed as her husband, and I appreciate that the creators didn't normalise the ML being minor as a comic relief but addressed it again and again as an issue, by portraying the FL being guilty every time she thought about the ML.
Even the ending was perfect showing that reality doesn't have a happy ending but it's the moments that the humans create which makes every moment of our life more happy and livable, even when there are fights and disagreements, and effective communication can change the whole course of a relationship.

Just watch this now
This is one of the few reviews I will write but omg everything about this show was so good, the variety of casting with wi ha joon and lee do hyun. The premise is really unique too for the time, he goes back in his 18 year old body and tries to fix the problems in his life basically. The story was well written and I just don't know why this isn't more talked about still. Lee do hyun's acting is never bad and the children were also such a joy to watch. I know the age gap is a little weird but I didn't mind it at all since it was him just in a better body :D. That 's all I will say, I will continue to watch lee do hyun's dramas.Was this review helpful to you?
Good acting.
With more depth than I was expecting. Very good acting. Liked the songs. Overall really good show. It is a remake of an American movie that I know of with Zak Efron. Same title too I think. The series is worth watching even if you have already seen the movie. The male lead actor has done a good job with his role.Was this review helpful to you?
Cinematography is brilliants , the change and transition of scenes is done in a smart way.
The only minus point is the slow pace of the drama.
I would definitely recommend this drama . Give it a try ,I guess you won't regret .

An All Rounder
I genuinely haven’t watched something so warm and uplifting in a while. This drama is a remake of the American movie but it’s so much more. The main characters are so enjoyable. Drama touches upon core issues such as importance of family, difficulties of early parenthood, rocky school life and finding yourself even in the midst of a chaotic, degrading life cycle. The father/children relationship is heartwarming and makes you bawl. It makes you realize the hardships your parents might’ve went through to give you a good life. It also digs deep into how children give back without expressing through words. Main lead, Lee Do Hyun, is so charming and believable as a father of two teenagers; I was stunned with his amazing acting abilities. This drama is truly a gem.Was this review helpful to you?
The Value of Family
I did not expect this KDRAMA is this good. I was just expecting that the main leads are good in their craft and acting skills. But I was really amazed by the story. You will definitely laugh and cry at the same time. The values taught in this story is really the reality happening in each family or household. It was executed well by each character. Expectedly each character has a good background but I'm still in awe seeing them all together on one screen and was really glad that I was able to see this drama immediately. This is a MUST watch kdrama. Main male leads are both soooo good in their roles. They are matched in heaven. Overall this is a really feel good and warm drama.Was this review helpful to you?

WHY YOU MUST WATCH IT
Our first obvious reason on why you should watch this show is very simple. It tells the parent's experience and shows the life of two highschool kids who had a child at a young age.The second reason on why you should watch this show is, it makes you so involved in the plot that it could make you cry and laugh at any moment.
Our third reason is how our ML are both handsome guys. Two guys with one mind! How amazing! They both are good-looking and have very good acting which almost brought me to tears.
The rewatch value is so high because there are so many memorable clips and episodes that just makes you want to rewatch. Especially episode 16 ending, the ending is what we are all expecting!!! Lets cheer for our HONG fammmmmm!!!!!!
