"18 Again" is a drama about Dae Young, a man that regrets his life's choices and makes a wish, to go back in time and unexpectedly that comes true, Dae Young wakes up being 18 years old again. He tries to do everything he couldn't with his youth, but realizes how much his family meant to him and that his old life is exactly what he really wants.
The romance of Dae Young and Da Jung is really good, they really shared everything in life, good and bad moments, sweetness and sorrow and it's been like this since they were teenagers, Dae Young only took a while to realize that. Initially his wish was granted because he regretted his life, of giving up basketball, he wanted to go back to being 18, to follow his dream, since Da Jung and the children were sort of a "mistake", put only after seeing his life with another eyes, Dae Young sees what he's missing.
The scene where he's crying in court, trying everything to go back to his body and nothing happened, it really hurt, to see his desperation. In that moment Dae Young runs to Da Jung and says he wants to be with her no matter what, that he didn't regret his decision to choose her and that was the purpose of the switch. This whole sequence is just perfect!
The second lead syndrome was really hard in this drama, since Ji Hoon is wonderful, how can someone not fall in love with this man? But this time I can't see that I root it for him, since Dae Young had already stole my heart. You can see that his words wasn't true, he was just frustrated with life, but his love for his family never changed.
I loved all the moments of jealousy of Dae Young, being with Da Jung or with Si Ah! HAHA'
Kim Ha Neul is really an spectacular actress. She has chemistry in scene with both Yoon Sang Hyun and Lee Do Hyun, that's really not an easy thing. The drama is amazing, the story is fun, light and easy to watch, but at the same time, has a very strong dramatic charge.
