This drama has it all. A perfect Story, an amazing Cast and one of the best Soundtrack of the year.

The Story sounds very fun and I have to say, that I began watching the drama not because of the story, but the Cast. I am not a fan of Rom-Com. I have a love-hate relationship because many rom-com are exaggerating. But after I watched the first few Episodes I loved the Story. "Still 17" has it all. The Story isn't too comediac, because it contains many stories which are dramatic and not only fun.

Like I mentioned above, I began the Drama because of the Cast. Yang Sejong is my most favourite Actor since I watched hin in Duel, where his performance was amazing. he is an excellent Actor and even though he seemed nervous and a little bit stiff at the beginning, his acting was amazing. I mean his character was hurt. He lived with thoughts, most of the other people doesn't think about. He seems to be cold but Gong Woojin is a really warmhearted young Man who has Scars. When it comes to People he loves, he is cute and protective, but also shy around them if he doesn't know them well.
Shin Hyesun actes as Woo Seori, a girl who was in a Coma since she was 17 and wakes up when she is 30. She can't believe her real age and I can understand that. I read some comments from viewers, who think that Wooris character was too childish. But honestly, I think it was okay, because she was 17 when she fell in a coma. Not all 17 year old teenagers are like adults and if you see that you aren't 17 anymore but a woman, who could be married and have children herself, you will be shocked. I would be. Shin Hyesun played her role excellent. I watched her in some other dramas and I liked her in Five Children very much. But in this drama, she was even better.
Ahn Hyoseob played the nephew og Gong Woojin who is an excellent rower at his high school and seems to be more mature than his own uncle. Yoo Chan is very protective and worried of Woojin. AHS is young and talented Actor. At first I was worried because of the age difference between him an Yang Sejong who is only 3 years older but in the drama there is an age difference of 11 Years. But it didn't affect the drama much.
Ye Jiwon played the mysterious Housekeeper of Woojins Family called Jennifer who is a someone you need to get used to at first, but after a few episodes I liked her and thought she isn't like she is without a reason. I like YJW very much. She is a really good Actress and I watched her in a few dramas before. She can play all types of characters and this is a aspect not anyone can do.

The Chemistry between Shin Hyesun and Yang Sejon was on top. The harmony was there. The age difference of 4 years doesn't matter much. I think they suit each other very well and this affected the drama in a positive way.

I want to shout out a big compliment to the Child Actors, who did a very good job, too. Both of them are very talented and I hope they can get an award for their performances in this drama.

The OST is one of the best which came out this year. i listen to it every free Minute. Sadly I haven't enough time.
