Let me start with the story, it's based on a very simple story line. Nothing unique about it. You can always predict the ending from the beginning itself. Then, why should we watch it? It's about how it was presented and unfolded a simple story with heart touching scenes.
Acting is really good. Main leads and supporting characters did their best to portray given role. In the beginning I was curious how the main lead actress will do in this Drama, because I saw her doing a good job as side actress in The Legend Of The Blue Sea. I liked her there too.
In this Drama you won't be burdened with cliche characters, evil villains, unnecessary influencing and interfering parents. Very small amount of second lead syndrome. Lead actors chemistry is really good.
I am not that much interested in music in any drama. So, I won't be talking about it.
Rewatch value is really high. Definitely I will watch many times in future. It's a feel good Drama without any heavy stuff.

I actually was about to drop this drama. It was just another "ok" drama. It was kind of enjoyable and funny, but I skipped so many parts...
STORY: 7/10
It's not something new nor original. It is actually not my cup of tea. Somehow it was slow and pretty cute.
CAST: 8/10
Ok. Yes, it was a really good cast with cool characters. There's not the "annoying" nor "bad" character, what makes it amazing to watch.
I don't have an opinion about the main girl. I didn't like her in the beginning, but then I just didn't mind her at all.
The same with the main guy.
I really liked Jennifer, she was so funny and mysterious and simple.
The acting was what we usually watch in dramas, nothing more.
OST: 10/10
It was so good!!

However, the story didnt really move anywhere for me. I stopped watching in the middle of episode 11. It got kind of repetitive and annoying. I don’t know how to word it in a way that won’t give away any spoilers. It was dragging on and I couldn’t take it anymore. And I hate love triangles.
The housekeeper was my favorite character.
Most of the funny scenes where because if her (to me)
I saw this was recommended under I’m not a robot. Which I loved! But this... no.

After consecutively watching a lot of dramas with heavy emotions and complicated plots, I find this drama very refreshing. The plot was interesting enough to get you hooked but was not too complicated to make your brain hurt from thinking. I also love how there's no really a "bad guy/villain" here just unfortunate incidents that can happen to anyone.
I really really love the casting of this drama. They all had perfect chemistry with each other, not just the leads. I also love the setting (Seori's House) it's really nice even their office is nice. Love the OST as well!
The only thing why I'm not giving this a perfect score is because of the Aunt of Seori. I just don't understand it completely why she kept the money from selling the house at the bank. Did she know that Seori will wake up again? Because if I were her, I would just use that money to pay for the hospital bills of Seori. She knew Seori didn't have anyone else besides her and her husband. Assuming nobody did pay for her bills throughout the years, do you think Seori would have lived? If she died, who will now use the money instead? I mean this is just me thinking out loud but that's the only think that really bothered me.
Overall, this drama was really interesting and fun to watch! Hope to see everybody in a new drama!

"A pure love story "
I really doesn't know this type of drama exist , even my friends did not know this type drama reallly existed. Nowadays we only find cringe romcom more than proper love story between the 2 leads. No doubt i will be giving 10 out of 10 for this drama ,they started with younger version of 2 leads and they got misunderstood by whole scenario by both of them. Even though there are loop holes in this drama at same time it maintains some suspense in the middle of the show , which makes us think why ?I feel so bad abt our 2nd lead Ahn seop he is really cute and adorable towards his ajumma (seori) but at same time he is in dilemma whether to tell that he loves her or not! It was so heart breaking for him , they showcases as hero is bit slow with seori but at same time he acts as overprotective boyfriend too. Even i love OST'S which makes us cry with them , it was so heart touching. I personally like this drama even though i did not complete yet but i will recommended this drama to my friends for sure! Even you can also watch it ! DONT THINK , FEEL (is my fav. line in this drama). I love how Ahn seop says it.

The story explores an all too frequently used concept of "amnesia" and another difficult topic of a 11 year mental/physical age gap. Both these were handled and delivered wonderfully without over doing or complicating either.
The drama portrayed love, friendship, family, overcoming traumatic pasts without much pomp and pageantry and this was what won it for me. Added to this, the support roles were not cardboard characters put there for comic relief or want of distraction. Each one of them created a "perfect moment" just as the OST sings.
My only criticism is that towards the end plot relating to her aunt and uncle seemed to have been changed from what might have been originally intended. However, as I feel this may have even saved the drama from a more cliché ending, I am willing to overlook this to give Thirty but Seventeen a perfect overall score.

This is a very sweet drama that literally makes you feel good. I felt my heart swelling every episode because everything from the acting, the characters, the music and the story progression create a very innocent, heartfelt world you want to immerse yourself in.
This drama is, for me, the epitome of pure love. The progression of Seo-ri and Woo-jin's relationship feels natural and flows from the events they live together (and separately). And it's one of the sweetest, most innocent loves I've seen portrayed in a korean drama. When I was looking at their romantic scenes I could not help but feel years younger. The main leads chemistry have the quality to transport you to a world where everything seems pure, and innocent and love is truly disinterested. When I finished Thirty But Seventeen I couldn't help but feel purified.
The plot is refreshing as well and one of the many reasons I enjoyed this drama so much is the lack of "negative" character trope. While there is someone that tries to create disturbance in the main female lead's life, their actions too are understandable and you can empathize with her choices. Every character feels human in their choices and that is a huge plus for me when watching any kind of film / series.
I do however feel that at points the plot was dragging and there were too many, annoyingly missed opportunities for resolution of the conflict which created the feeling that the story went a bit longer than needed. But this did not take away much from the beauty of the story, which is why I still rated it high and dearly recommend it!

My most favourite character would be probably Chan, he was so youthful and full of energy and was like a ball of sunshine.
Sometimes the drama got a bit draggy but at the end I was glad that I watched it. Shin Hye Sun played her role so well and become one of my favourite Korean actresses thanks to this drama.

The kind of dramas I've come to enjoy are ones that make me think deeply about life, relationships, and family. This one manages that and much more. The main characters teach us what it means to have regrets, to bury your pain, to have hopes and to hope again after having them shattered, to grow up and to truly realize that age is just a number, to fall and get up, and keep moving. This was truly a series that moved me. Here are my two favorite quotes out of a multitude:
"People mostly fall apart because they don't say enough. They stop themselves from saying the one thing that matters." - Jennifer
"If you know what you have, you know what to throw away." - Julie Morgenstern (cited by Jennifer)
There are a tad too many coincidences, but since those are common in romcoms, I learned to overlook them. This is mainly because there are so many things about this drama that are so entertaining that one should willingly turn away from such things and just enjoy the ride.
