Trinta, Mas Dezessete (2018)

Um Drama Mediano

Este K-drama começa bem e a princípio tem um enredo diferente com a história do retorno do coma depois de mais de uma década.

Foi legal assistir mesmo que não tenha tido muitas cenas dela descobrindo este "mundo novo" depois de estar ausente por tantos anos. Teria sido mais interessante para mim se tivessem explorado mais esta parte da adaptação dela com o mundo, as tecnologias, facilidades e dificuldades desta última década (como na série Alemã Der letzte Bulle) ao invés de terem focado mais na parte dela ser adolescente e acordar como adulta.

Da metade para o final o drama cai na mesma mesmice que 97% dos dramas coreanos que tem romance fazem, acaba sendo mais do mesmo.

Acabo de descobri que tenho um sério problema com as atuações da Ye Ji Won. Ainda não vi nenhuma atuação dela que eu gostasse, todos os personagens que ela faz são extravagantes sem necessidade. Para mim não é engraçado, acabo ficando com a sensação de que é são sempre personagens desnecessários para a história, forçando uma graça que não tem graça.

Quanto a Shin Hye Sun ela sempre entrega uma boa atuação, excelente atriz.

Chance de assistir de novo?
- Zero

Se eu indicaria?
- Não, mas ele é assistível, nada de extraordinário, apesar de ter ficado cansada por volta dos eps. 18-20 dá para passar o tempo....

Best cast since Le Coup de Foudre

That is high praise for me as that is my favorite drama of all time. This has moved into my third after LCDF and ALSB. This cast was one of the best I have ever seen. They are all amazing people with well-flushed out back stories. There are no misunderstandings, except for the major one, and no real villains. But that doesn't mean the story is not interesting.

This drama took a serious, yet light-hearted, look at trauma and what it does to one's personality and relationships. It made me feel literally every emotion in the book. I loved it from beginning to end.

I love this drama. If you are in the mood for a very cute romantic comedy, this is the perfect choice. I love the characters in this drama. The leads had great chemistry and I liked all the side characters. The story isn't the most original but the characters make the story feel fresh. If you are in the mood for a relatively light fun story, with some tear worthy moments this is the drama for you. Another point that I would add, I think this is a drama I would rewatch over and over. My only negative is I feel like the finale could have been stronger, but it was still a good final episode.

Update: I just rewatched this drama to show to my Mom and I have to say this drama is even better on the second viewing. It just might be my favorite drama ever. (Though I just started watching dramas a few months ago so I bit of catching up on some of the older dramas. )

"Don't think, Feel".... *-*

I rarely feel the need to describe about a drama. but here I felt necessary to convey my emotions.
This drama just gives you so much feels.. you laugh, you cry, you fight, you hesitate, you smile, you enjoy along with the characters.

Story - It is rather simple story but because it is more of interaction based and character oriented, It never disappoints you. At some points it even surprises you in good way (when Woo jin decided to stay or Seo ri didn't left), OR in bad way ( where Seo ri finds out her uncle had died). But feelings felt 100% real.
You get to see an amazing love story. There is a real relationship, there is care & support for each other and that is what keeps relationship going. Even in real life, you need care & support for each other rather than heartbeats & chemistry.
I have seen many dramas where couple hide many things from each other just not get the other one worrying. But that is where the main problem lies. The relationship falls after hiding things. I just finished watching Something in the Rain two days ago, I didn't really liked it. 30 but 17 feels really different. Woo jin and Seo ri share with each other everything - feelings, thoughts, future plans, even smaller things won't go missing if they are with each other.
Best thing no long term villain or bad character in the drama.

Acting/ Cast - Outstanding performances by everyone in the drama.
Shin hye sun is an amazing actress. I had watched her last in Stranger where her role was very serious which she had done amazingly. I wasn't ready to watch her acting as a 17 yr old. But she felt real as if she was Seo ri. And loved watching her transform from a teenager to a responsible adult.

Yang se jong is fabulous. When I watched him in Temperature of Love, I was rather disappointed in his character. but here I am all for him. Gong Woo jin is my Crescendo.. @_@. His transformation from desolate, miserable and heartbroken person to supporting, open minded and warm-hearted person is the key point for this drama. Woo jin is one of most favorite male leads for me. His undying support & understanding for Seo ri is heart melting. I loved as well as respected his character. I loved when he said to Kim tae hyung - "You never get anxious when you are sure about something." He was that kind of person. He gave time and patience to Seo ri which she needed the most.

Ahn Hyo sub - he is very good as Chan. his care and love for both Mr. Kang and Ajumma is very obvious. you can feel he is a responsible teenager who deeply cares about all the people around him.
Ye ji won - Her character Jennifer is a little closed off and stern. but you can feel she is warm hearted person from her actions. and don't forget her quotes. The quotes REALLY Teach you something good.

Every other character is perfect for the role.
Yoon Chan Young and Park Shi Eun as young Woo jin and Seo ri are just perfect.

Music - Really really amazing.
The songs are very subtle and never felt out of place or unnecessary. "Just stay" is my new repeat.
Other songs - Seventeen, Thirty Waltz & Tears In My Heart
Background music is really perfect.

Rewatch value - Definitely rewatching this. Character development and the whole family grows on you till you miss them.

Some loopholes - As the female lead was unconscious for almost 13 yrs, it felt odd as she woke up as if her brain was alright and in perfect condition. because if her body or brain has no problem then why did she take 13 yrs to wake up. but as this drama tells you - "Don't think, feel". so just don't go deep into loopholes and watch this drama to feel roller coaster ride of emotions.

A Really Really heartwarming drama.. Loved 30 but 17.. <3

Watch this.

This one is absolutely one of my favourites. Starting from the extremely well chosen actors (especially child actors compared to adult actors) the story that was if a bit unrealistic, extremely interesting and refreshing. This Drama combines serious with fun, love and a bit of sadness.

However my absolute favourite part about it is that there is no unnecessary or frustrating Drama. There are misunderstandings and there is Drama etc. But it all makes sense, none of it is due to characters not getting their mouths open or jumping to conclusions or randomly thrown in exes/parents. The problems that arise are all logically valid.

This was definitely a watch in one sitting kind of Drama for me and one of the first ones I could have rewatched right away.

Je ne me suis pas du tout attendue à aimer autant ce drama !!! J’explosais de rire mais je pleurais aussi au vu des circonstances. Ce drama a réussi à mélanger les deux et c’est ce qui fait qu’on adore ce drama. Je me suis TELLEMENT attachée au personnages. Seo Ri qui vient de se réveiller et qui pense qu’elle a 17 ans alors qu’elle en a 30 et son évolution dans le monde des adultes pour justement en devenir une étant donné son âge. Woo Jin qui au début était froid, est devenu tellement adorable, grâce à Seo Ri qui lui a donné beaucoup d’attention. Chan était tellement mignon, chaleureux et adorable, il a évolué en une personne un peu plus responsable mais qui garde son caractère (qui n’a pas besoin d’être changé). Et enfin Jennifer qui peut paraître robotique mais qui a un grand cœur et elle aussi souffre de son passé. Ils ont tous évolués et grandis pour être ce qu’ils sont à présent. Les moments que je préférais était quand ils passaient des moments en famille même s’ils ne sont pas forcément liés par le sang. Seo Ri et Woo Jin étaient tellement mignons et heureux ensemble, j’ai surtout aimée leur sourires, cela illuminait l’écran. On peut dire que leur sourires étaient magnifiques. J’ai enchainée ce drama tellement j’étais accro. En tout cas c’est un drama qu’il faut regarder, surtout que je l’ai un peu commencé sur un coup de tête mais je ne regrette absolument pas.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

It is so satisfying to watch a kdrama where the lead couple are in a healthy relationship, misunderstandings are non-existence, immaturity isn't a factor for the adults, the leads don't leave each other over guilt and stick to their heart, the female best friend of the male lead isn't in love with him, you grow to like the antagonist, the side stories are relevant and the ending... has an epilogue and isn't an open ending.

I think this has now become one of my favourite kdramas. There's enough fluff, character development, angst and frustration that keeps you glued to it. Each character has their own charm and story that actually add to the drama as a whole. The development of the relationship between everyone is one of the things you end up rooting for, to see them all start to love each other and learn from one another and eventually become a family.

Such a heartwarming and moving drama that may make you shed a tear

'Still 17' is such a heartwarming and moving drama - making me bawl my eyes out at one point!

In the very beginning I was so confused about this dude with long shaggy hair, a beard and unattractive clothes. I was like, 'this is not the guy pictured on the cover of the drama... so who is he?' One transformation later and I was like, 'okay, maybe he is...?' XD Needless to say, as the drama moved on I forgot all about his previous image.

Woo-jin was so cold and standoffish in the beginning - exactly what we want in a K-drama man am I right? It was so sweet to see how he became warm and opened up around everyone as he had Seo-ri on his mind.

Seo-ri was obviously the damsel in distress, but with her situation, who could blame her? She had just woken up out of a coma, had a bit of rehabilitation treatment, and left the hospital with nothing but the clothes she was wearing. That scene where the man pushed in line to get food and then Seo-ri missed out... I was pissed, but that just showed you her kind, gentle and sweet nature. I think the actress did a really great job of acting out Seo-ri's character because although she was 30, she really did seem like a teenager for the most part.

I loved Chan and his Chick Junior. So cute. And he was adorable every time he got off of the phone with his Mum and said 'bye Mummy.' XD

It was a bit heartbreaking for Chan when he found out about Seo-ri and his Uncle's relationship, but I'm glad he accepted it and moved on. None of the dickish behaviour we would normally see.

Chan's two friends were funny and I liked how they got along very well with his Uncle and Jennifer.

I loved Jennifer's character - she appears so wise, confident and firm. The episode where we discovered that her husband was killed in the accident was what made me bawl. All the flashback scenes in that episode including Seo-ri's friend Suh-mi made me cry a lot - it was very emotional.

The relationship that forms between Seo-ri and Woo-jin is so pure and sweet. The amount of episodes it took Mr Khong to express feelings towards Seo-ri felt like the perfect amount of time. Their whole backstory had me so intrigued and with each episode I was always waiting for when Woo-jin would realise/discover that Seo-ri was the girl on the bus that day all those years ago. When they were on the bridge and Seo-ri got to tell her side of the story, I was blown away, excited and happy because I was surprised at the fact that Seo-ri knew about him and liked him when they were young as well. So it wasn't a case of one-sided love after all.

I felt like this drama did a great job of intertwining the flashbacks with the 'current' story.

Paeng's appearance was always adorable and it was sweet how Woo-jin built the house for him, and also the chicken coop for Chick Junior. XD

I was so happy in the end where it showed their wedding picture and the panning shots of the wedding bands on each of their hands. Perfect way to end the show! Plot twist; it would have been cool if they had have had a baby that grew up to be a violinist like Seo-ri.

Overall this was a pretty decent drama and would 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting to watch a heartwarming show.

Best lighthearted kdrama

This kdrama was one of the most easiest to watch for me. Every episode was filled with mystery as the romance starts to build up. You'll definitely cry happy and sad tears throughout watching and it is worth watching every second. The storyline was excellent along with the perfect supporting characters needed. Certainly recommend to those wanting a cute romance drama with an element of mystery to it. There are also some laughable scenes to those looking for humour! The ending is one of the best I've seen for a kdrama and it definitely felt like it wasn't rushed. Everything was explained nicely and it was a feel-good ending for all the characters.
