STILL 17 HAS 32 EPISODES, NOT 40.

I try to go somewhere but my heart has no strength, so I’m just staying here while the place I long for grows far away. Many things have already changed in time. I’ve indifferently remained here, lost and wandering… ♫

This show was incredible. I was hesitant to watch it at first due to what I perceived would be a creepy relationship between the mentally-17-year-old MC and the possible love interest, but I am so glad I decided to give it a go. It sucked me in immediately, The relationships the MC fosters with people of all ages are portrayed realistically and without being creepy in the slightest. If you’re as worried about that as I was, I’d urge you to watch it—I’m sure you won’t be disappointed! It was a great watch and is definitely binge-able.

Soundtrack was top notch. The entire OST is gorgeous, really. I think I’ll have “Get Away” by Bonggu in my favorites playlist for a long, long time. It’s beautiful and really adds to the atmosphere of the drama. Actually, that could be said of any of the tracks! They really left an imprint on my heart.

How many time passed since we get a really good comedy as this? Probably since Strong Woman Do Bong-soon.
This drama was nearly perfect, everyone in the cast was great, characters were great, direction, script and every technical aspect works perfect, they gave us comedy with touching moments but it wouldn't work without the chemistry between Ji Chang-wook and Kim Yoo-jung, probably one of my favorites couples of all times, now I need to highlight two things, first, Kim Sun-young acting and I'll say this in every single one of her dramas, she's always perfect and she has that aura that wants you have her as your family; the other one, Eum Moon-Suk and Seo Ye-Hwa as Dal-Sik and Geum-Bi, this is my first time seeing them in a drama and I was shocked by them, not only acting but they have a perfect chemistry, it almost outshines the main couple, I would love to see a spin off with them.
I expect Kim Yoo-jung to be nominated as best actreess, her and Ji Chang-wook as best couple, Son Geun-Joo for best script and this drama for drama of the year.
Overall great, they gave us what we waited for so long, as a comedy it's really hard to compete with other genres but this has nothing to envy, that's how good it is.

My score: 8.8/10
