To be honest, when I watched a movie or drama, I first look who's the cast. At this time, I watched this drama because Shin Hye Sun. I first time watched her drama entittled, She was Pretty. Even though she was not a main lead, I like her acting. Then I saw her on My Last Angel, she is played a blind girl, which is her acting was suit for her, then I addicted with her dramas. That is why I watched 30 But 17.
So here I am, watched twice because I love all elements of these dramas.

When the bus accident happened, Woo Jin knowing that Noh Su Mi is one of accident victim who died. It made Woo Jin heartbreaking and blame his self. That guilt continues to carry over till in his 30 years age.

The Review

Even though it is my second time watching 30 But 17, I still can feel the same vibe of this drama, which was heartwhelming, sad, sympathy, and the butterfly effect. This story is light but had a good message. All character in this drama had a big portion and important. I love how the scriptwriter created each character and how was their connection. I think the script has been revision many times. Because as an author I believed that a script would be perfect if we take a long time to revision and revision again before releasing it.

Looks how their relationship through the picture below:

The Characters

I should to praise the writer-nim which delivered this story beautifully especially about all characters. Each character has beautiful relation especially between Gong Woo Jin and Woo Seo Ri.

The acting of both actors, Shin Hye Sun and Yang Se Jong are totally into their character that they were played. Especially for Shin Hye Sun. It was not wrong decided to watched this Drama because of her. She could delivered the character as 30 years old women who had 17 years old mentality.

Then Gong Woo Jin who played by Yang Se Jong as traumatic boy is perfect. His aura, his handsome, his smile, his gesture, and his voice are totally made me can not turn round. I am not his fan because there is no his drama that I watched unless this drama, but in 30 Still 17 he had my heart!

Besides, the extras relife this drama a lots, especially the characters below:

Yoo Chan and his best friends

Another extras that I had to praise is Jennifer. I have been watched several drama of Jennifer, but in this drama, Jennifer doing her best as maid. Even her character is same strong as the trio of Yoo Chan.

Among all characters, I feell sorry about Seo Ri friend, Hyung Tae, who was accompanied Seo Ri while she is in coma but could not reached her because Seo Ri run away from the rehabilitation hospital. I thought he is the second lead, but by episodes I knew he is the extras also. Poor Hyung Tae...

I wish in the future Shin Hye Sun and Yang Se Jong will be pairing again, I loved their chemistry. Ah, Shin Hye Sun always had best chemistry with anyone actors in her drama.

have you been watched 30 But 17, what do you think?

I rated 5/5 star: Heartwhelming!

Thanks for read my sincere review. See you in next review.
