Trinta, Mas Dezessete (2018)

A parte le puntate dal 29 al 31 che sono , a mio parere, noiose e poco in linea con tutta l'intera storia, la commedia è deliziosa e attraente per quella vena di purezza freschezza dei sentimenti che emana. forse quell'intermezzo delle tre ultime puntate risultano non piacevoli perché sembrerebbe una regola la durata dei dramma Coreani di 16 ore e allora più di una volta vedo nei dramma delle puntate che stanno lì giusto per allungarne la durata e con questo disturbano la storia e il ritmo del dramma .
La protagonista è un personaggio solare , sempre gioiosa nel condividere i successi altrui mentre la sua situazione è tragica. Ma proprio nelle tre penultime puntate risulta lamentosa e recriminate in contrasto con la sua natura dimostrata in tutte le altre puntate. Il protagonista è affascinante per la dolcezza e la sua capacità empatica e quel magnifico sorriso anche se nelle puntate che a me non piacciono diventa una persona passiva e insignificante per debolezza di carattere. Il nipote Kan è anche egli una personaggio solare stracolmo di energia, di buone intenzioni e di forza di volontà oltre che di genuini e profondi sentimenti. Ammirevole è il personaggio della governante Jennifer: una donna discreta e incisiva allo stesso tempo, una donna che vive stoicamente la tragedia della vita passata ma che sa condividere le gioie e le mestizie altrui e finisce per ritrovare il sorriso. L'unica cosa che non mi è piaciuta in tutta la storia è il disconoscimento dell'impegno grande a riparare il danno fatto da parte del guidatore che causò la tragedia; lavorando sodo per pagare la retta elevata dell'ospedale tutti i mesi per tredici lunghi anni e non ricevendo mai il perdono per tutto questo e per il suo sincero rimorso. Lo trovo impietoso verso un sincero riconoscimento della propria responsabilità e il darsi da fare lungamente e faticosamente per riparare , inginocchiandosi anche a implorare perdono. E' per questo che non ho dato 10 alla storia che pur è apprezzabile globalmente. Una incongruenza: lei si fa avanti prontissima nell'accettare un promessa di matrimonio ma egli non la presenta , la richiesta, "perché aspetta che lei si pronta a tale passo" (!).

Do not miss this feel good drama

Its my first time writing a review...
Just started the drama without having much expectations and also for female lead
Want to say the ppl who are hesitating to watch, give it a try
I really really liked the drama and also the side characters who had their own story and pain
The male lead acting was so natural and his smile... Wow!!!
Its just worth watching. ..
Realised that few side characters now became the main leads in another dramas
We can also watch their teenage crush side that was so sweet
I cried whenever the main leads were crying
This was also my first drama where there was not much second lead syndrome though the other leads were gud character wise
All in all just watch it

Dont think. Feel!!!!!

A truly wonderful drama. It has the perfect balance of comedy and emotions and further proves my case that pre-2019 KDrama's are the gold standard.
So rare to watch a drama with so many green-flag characters with no toxic traits.
This is only my second Shin Hye Sun drama following Mr Queen, and she is so endearing and brilliantly plays the role of a 17-year-old who wakes up from coma 13 years later.
Yang Se Jong plays his role brilliantly and he deals with a trauma he's been carrying for so long. A very young Ahn Hyo Seop is the glue that holds the group together.
The supporting cast are great too.
There are some very minor plot holes and the OST is good but not amazing - although it fits perfectly to the story.
Thirty But Seventeen (or Still 17 as it's called on Netflix) is one of those gold standard dramas that you don't want to tend! Remember - don't think - feel! Go watch it now!

At first I drop this drama because of the tile, thought it was going to be some time traveling, to the future. But glad to take a second chance on this drama, The beginning of the story was a bit off, it’s either wrong subbing or just doesn’t make sense. From when they keep mentioning the year of the accident, And just how is a dog still alive for that long? But anyways This drama is really really nice, funny, and quiet sad watching Woo Seo being hospitalized, seeing her miss out all her youth year, and being abandoned was heartbreaking. And poor boy being traumatized for something it’s not his fault:(
I love the friendship and support that the characters have for one another. I find the pace of the drama went by pretty quick for me and great story line, I won’t say it’s the best but it’s a lighthearted comedy/romance, gotta love Woo Seo and Gong Woo cute funny scene. And have to say first drama I’ve seen so far where all the castings are amazing, as in no annoying/ bad guy besides the aunt who abandon Woo Seo but not to mention they are not likely in the drama anyways. What I do like about this drama to is that there’s a triangle love between Woo Seo, Gong Woo and his nephew but it’s not like every other drama where they will fight over the FL and that’s one thing I like about this drama because I hate watching triangle love drama that involves in family. I would recommend this drama for those people who hate watching triangle love, and not just like this as a drama but for people who love Shin Hae, her acting has always impress me, seeing her from Mr. Queen and this drama she definitely can play any roles not just as an funny role but she has a strong character trait when she plays it. Her acting just keep amazing me every time and watching Yang Se Jong reminded me so much of Go Kyung Pyo, they resemble so much.

The same drama in which you will be sad and happy at the same time.

My first viewing, like the second, was several years ago. But I will leave a review for this drama anyway.

The first time I watched it, I stopped watching for a while and then came back.
But it's worth watching to the end. Good ending.

I am glad that those who deserved happiness found their family and support. This kdrama shows both the past and the future at the same time and connects our characters, who lost their connection without meeting. After a large number of years, they will meet again and will no longer be the same ...or rather the main character. They will undergo a great test of their memory to regain and gain happiness. Writing about a happy ending, they got it like that.

In conclusion, if you like drama and comedy at the same time - then this is not a bad choice for you. The actors are also recognizable and emotional. The choice of whether to watch again is yours.

Have a nice viewing :)

Una serie carina, se non fosse per l'eccessiva durata e un protagonista maschile non performante

Cominciamo col dire che avevo questa serie parcheggiata nella lista di quelle da vedere da tantissimo tempo, complice una sciocca coincidenza nel titolo - i due numeri mi ricordavano sempre un altro drama, twenty five twenty one, che non mi era piaciuto - e la presenza di Shin Hye Sun come protagonista, avendola conosciuta nella serie di Benvenuti a Samdalri, dove l'avevo trovata piatta e insignificante, capace solo di affossare - insieme a una pessima sceneggiatura - un attore di grande bravura come Ji Chang Wook.
Invece, partendo proprio da lei, mi sono dovuta ricredere. Davvero un'ottima interpretazione del personaggio, così singolare e complesso, ma sorprendentemente credibile. Al contrario non sono riuscita ad apprezzare il protagonista maschile, che ho trovato davvero insipido e poco espressivo. Questa è un po' una novità, già che solitamente se c'è un personaggio nella coppia protagonista di un drama che non mi convince, è quasi sempre quello femminile. Diciamo che non era l'attore giusto per il ruolo giusto, forse. Sta di fatto che anche la chimica tra i due ne ha risentito, anzi, era quasi totalmente assente e le poche scene dove sarebbe stata fondamentale risultavano forzatamente artefatte. Il "lui", stavolta, non ha funzionato. E questa è la pecca numero uno. Il secondo difetto non indifferente è l'eccessiva durata della serie, che conta ben 36 episodi. La storia è carina, ma non memorabile, la recitazione buona, ma appunto il protagonista maschile non funziona. I personaggi secondari non spiccano, eccetto la governante Jennifer, che di certo si fa notare. Insomma, una serie deve proprio avere tutte le carte in regola per puntare a mantenere un livello di attenzione e interesse alto per così tante puntate. Non è questa la serie di sicuro, e devo dire che per quanto mi riguarda davvero poche possono vantare questo pregio... A conti fatti, le serie con più di 30 episodi che reputo meritevoli sono sostanzialmente due, "Suspicious Partner" dove Ji Chang Wook e gli altri attori protagonisti - e non - sono davvero performanti in un drama di alto livello, e lo spettacolare "Doctor Prisoner", dove, per assurdo, io che difficilmente concepisco un drama senza romance annessa, sarei andata avanti a vedere la serie a oltranza (se parliamo di Namgoong Min, il mio attore in assoluto preferito...non serve nemmeno la storia d'amore, basta lui per rendere una serie interessante e di alto livello). Concludendo, se avessero assegnato la parte a un altro attore e ridotto della metà gli episodi, ne sarebbe uscito qualcosa di molto più carino e godibile. Consigliata la visione? Se avete tempo da dedicarle e mettendo in conto la possibilità di accorciarla - come ho fatto io - in modalità fai-da-te saltando a piedi pari le parti più noiose.

A feel good sweet coming of age romcom

Thirty but seventeen has the perfect recipe, it balances family / slice of life / romcom and even melo very well. It has its fair share of feel good moments, strong uplifting messages, emotional plots, hilarious interactions, not to forget ""CUTENESS ALERT.""..almost all the characters are an extra extra dose of cute.

The plot features a beautifuly balanced recipe of romance, comedy and melo all set to a background of a coming of age story, whether it be our heroine's belated awkward coming of age, our hero's emotional and psychological coming of age, or our sweet nephew-nim's literal coming of age.
The drama will bring you to tears constantly, both from crying and laughing.
I loved the relationship between the main characters and felt the way it developed and each respective character grew up in front of our eyes was very realistic and hearfelt.
I always appreciate a drama that makes me fall in love with its characters and wish they truely existed so I could make their acquaintance, and Thirty but Seventeen not only made me fall for its leads but nearly all the side characters. That was thanks to the fun and witty interactions, the heartfelt and sweet script, the strong on-screen chemistry, aided by a strong and believable performance from all, not just our main trio, but also their "kaseifu no mita"-esque housemaid Jennifer.
I appreciated that the romance here did not suffer from the common tropes of Kdramas, like love triangles (we only have hints nothing major with lingering repercussions like other dramas), or noble idiocy (there were certainly moments it nearly felt like we were heading that dark road only to be delighted by a sweet turn of events or a moment of truth). Above all, I loved how every one spoke their minds and didn't act like total idiots when it came to their feelings, even if that meant replying to "why do you look at me like that?" With "I don't know, me either". We watched our main leads achieve psychological growth and flourish emotionally through their relationships with each other and their "family". Any slight sense of slowness in the romance plot in the first half felt accounted for and explained, because we've come to understand the characters, and their mutual feelings of respect and consideration.
The acting was great by all the cast, it was my first drama for the male lead, and I hope it won't be my last. I totally loved him in this character.
The music was sweet, and the classical tracks were as expected played well and fitted the mood. I also liked the sound effects (like an air horn, a cicada etc), which were perfectly utilized to maximize the effect of certain moments especially comedic ones.
Rewatch value is high, I feel like I might be coming back for a dose of cuteness sometime in the future.

This was a fun and enjoyable ride which I couldn't pause once I started. I definitely recommend to all regardless of your favorite genre, because I for one have been watching too many dramas of dark-ish and heavy plots which are mostly my favorite genres, and was craving a feel good and fun watch, and this drama was certainly the perfect choice.

i loved every actor and character , that's rare !

almost perfect , almost
one less star for forgetting lee ri an , she deserved her love to be fulfilled with chan , pretty sad about that.
another less star for the doctors plot , literally useless , there was no need for any of it , glad it just took a couple minutes here and there throughout the whole drama.
other than that everyone was a genuinely good person , i loved every single actor and character , that never happened , specially jennifer , i want a drama just for herself !
also didn't like the writters for blaming the driver , why blame anyone even , accidents happen without the need to have someone making a mistake , as soon as i heard he paid for the bills i prayed for jennifer to meet him and fall in love and that both can be cured , but i guess the writters had to blame him roght after , sad but realistic i guess
anyways , "don't shit , pee !"

A great drama that failed to honour one character

They should have had Chan acknowledge his classmate's feelings towards him. She showed up whenever she was supposed to, as a partner is expected to.

His races? She was there.
His practice sessions? She was there.
He needs hyping up? She was the loudest cheering him.
His friend is in need of clothes? She showed up with the best collection, even though she stole her sisters clothes but she WAS THERE. Yes she got a bit jealous but who wouldn't? She wasn't even toxic towards FL.
He won the medal? She was hanging banner on the school gate.

Leaving her feelings unacknowledged was such a weak ending for this drama that it almost hurt me.

cute, healing and heartwarming

Just finished watching thirty but seventeen. I found it really cute, healing and heartwarming. The final episodes were a bit heavy though.

I really liked the confession. Soo short, sweet and satisfying.

Many people did not like the acting of ML. But I found it sweet and very fitting for someone who has not really matured from late teens. The FL is perfect for this role. Her acting is like always really good.

The only thing I had a problem with is the sheer number of coincidences. But again, it's a kdrama thing.

Another plus was the chemistry and dynamics of the whole extended family. Also the second and third MLs were not really annoying.
