This past Mon-Tues concluded the airing of SBS drama Thirty But Seventeen, one of the rare ones for me where I thoroughly enjoyed the drama despite having no inclination to watch because of the two leads. I’m still not sold on male lead Yang Se Jong overall but liked his role and performance for this drama, whereas Shin Hye Sun tipped into the love category for me after watching her shine in all facets of acting in her role. Their chemistry was sweet but nothing to write home about, with the emotional growth of the characters being the narrative hook that kept me watching along even if nothing major happened in terms of plot points. I found the supporting characters varying degrees of interesting with second male lead Ahn Hyo Seob the breakout of the main cast, and there was even a cute dog to boot. The network has a break next week before the arrival of airport drama Fox Star Bride (Where Stars Land) on October 1.
Yang see jong look handsome. Shin hue sun to much baby cream look like in Halloween party. Oops sorry.
Shin Hye Sun is such a good actress.
It was a nice drama ! The growth of the characters was really well written. All the cast was good.
Very nice drama, the whole cast did a great job !
I never really pay attention to SHS. I have always mistaken her and Kang Ha Na. But she is really good here, she is 17 throughout.
I really like SHS’ acting but i really dislike her makeup.
Btw this drama was easy and nice. And it’s better than some other popular romcom dramas this year. Im glad it got high rating. Good for them.
AHS’ veneer is getting to me, too big and too fake. Not sure if others see it and feel the same. I cannot finish this drama yet… it is too slow and draggy despite the good acting of all casts.
I enjoyed the drama, but there were plenty of cringe-worthy and overly “sweet” moments. K-dramas sometimes like to overdo in that aspect. The scriptwriter was possibly trying to pull off Noh Heekyung’s style of storytelling, but oh well.
It had its flaws of course but I absolutely loved this drama and its’ characters from start to finish. I thought they all did well and I was so immersed that I looked at these pics and basically saw their characters in the drama. Already miss them 🙁
I really enjoyed all the recent summer rom-coms including My ID is Gangnam Beauty and Familiar Wife (no spoilers for FW please I’m not done yet!) Its the first time in a very long while that I’ve finished watching 3 currently airing dramas.
I love Jennifer.. She makes me laugh.
I don’t understand what’s so good about this drama I watched it and it’s boring? Male lead is really boring his acting style is boring everything about him is boring SHS character is boring but she’s good
larana, i respect your opinion but try to look into yang se joon’s acting. There are lots of good reasons why he is named as “monster rookie”. He is a newbie but his acting is really good!
This is the best drama in 2018 so far!
