Moment at Eighteen was a beautiful story that surprised me with the various themes it brought up. I originally watched it because of the romance, but it had much more to offer.

The beginnig was especially strong and each episode was action packed and left the viewers craving for more. Naturally, as it progressed it also slowed down in the middle and focused more on the two main characters' relationship and the unfolding romance. Despite this, in the last episodes it picked up the inital speed and vibe and the ending was really nice.
Moment at Eighteen captured perfectly the feeling of growing up and I got attached to the charcters and their stories. The ending feels like saying goodbye to an old friend and somehow feels nostalgic.
There were various themes in this drama such as the portrayal of the different parent-child relationships (both good and bad), the feeling of first love, the pressure that students face to become studying machines just to get into universities and even lgbt topics!

The acting was amazing! Ong Seong Wu did a beautiful job with his character (knowing that this is his acting debut!) and I could feel sincerely connected to his character. Everyone else in the cast was amazing too and there were so many unique characters. I have to highlight Kang Ki Young, who is seriously one of the best actors right now, his character was probably my favourite.

I really loved the OST as well, it mirrored perfectly the feeling and gave a great ambiance to the drama.

Overall this drama made me very emotional at times and made me laugh too. It filled me with warmth and made me fall in love with the charcters. It's definetly a school drama that everyone can enjoy and relate to regardless of their age.
