(My not to spoilery review, but still…)
I used to not enjoy watching high school dramas, but lately I’ve been tuning into them more and getting impressed. For A Moment at Eighteen, I think I liked its melancholy vibe that I got from it, starting from the trailers. I don’t like angst or being stressed while watching a drama, but when they give you a little and then reel it in with some cute or funny, it gets kind of entertaining. Or at least, it makes me want to tune in more. I really loved this drama because I kept looking forward to the next episode. I kept wanting to know more and even if they didn’t give more of what I wanted, I still enjoyed it. The finale was very open ended and what I want in a high school drama. These kids have a lot more growing up to do and have a full life ahead of them that it was nice to leave them in a place where, yeah, it’s going to be tough sometimes, but they are going to be okay. I loved Kang Ki-young in his role as Mr. Oh, someone who has been through a tough childhood and has first hand experience to help these kids out. I cried a couple of times in his scenes, who wouldn’t want a supportive teacher. I was also very impressed with Ong Sung-woo. I had seen him in variety as himself, but he totally immersed himself in Joon-woo and what a nice character Joon-woo was. All the other cast members were great as well and as a whole they really created a good team. I liked at the end that Soo-bin was still looking for her own dream, by the way Kim Hyang-gi was totally great as well. What she had with Joon-woo was definitely beautiful, I mean who wouldn’t want to find someone who just gets you at 18, but not all of us have figured out our lives at that age. When I was 18, I wanted to leave my house just like she did, she wanted to be away from her mom’s wing, which was totally me as well, but I couldn’t leave my family. I felt this duty to stay and help my parents and siblings out. I applied to college not really knowing what I wanted to be, but knowing I had to go there to at least find out. Soo-bin has Joon-woo and her friends on her corner and I’m sure she will figure her dream out soon. How nice would’ve it been if Joon-woo stayed so they could encourage each other face to face, which is why I cried at the end with them. If I had a Joon-woo, I would also not want to let him go!
