This drama is so full of cute I nearly died. The relationship between Tae Ri and Eun Dong is so adorable. They are both stuck at the age of fourteen; Tae Ri is still a lonely little girl who can't grow up, and Eun Dong is aching to become a man and protect the woman he loves.
Eun Dong and the coach were also sweet and the mushy bromance had me wiggling.
The story is really great, with the exception of the weird breakups that happed randomly and passively, and Choi Seung Jae. I don't know what is up with that guy. If his character had been more consistent, I would have given this drama a 10. But his bipolar disorder had me really confused.
BUT this drama is so sweet it will give you cavities. Full of heart and warm fuzzy feelings, I highly recommend it.

Story: Like I said the premise was an interesting one but when I found out that the kid was suppose to be 14 and then the female lead is almost 30, I was scratching my head how it would all turn out in the end. For the actual plot, except for the first few episodes, there wasn't any and by the end i would just have eps playing in the background while i was doing other things. Whats funny is i didnt miss anything. By the end I was just like i want to see if the couple would be able to end up together. One thing I did like was the romance. It was so cute and well written. The ending was kind of open ended but not really.
Acting: Ive only ever seen the actress who plays Tae Ri and shes only played very serious or robotic characters so it was nice to see her play someone who is naive/innocent. She had good chemistry with the main actor from SuJu. And while I liked the supporting characters, NONE of the characters (main or side) managed to make me have an attachment to them.
Music: The song by the fake girl group in the show was fun but they played it so many times i got tired of it. There were few other songs but they fit the show well enough.
Rewatch: This is one of those dramas that could be watched again but the question is do you really have to see it another time...
Overall Lee Tae Ri is funny at times but nothing you have to go out of your way for.

There were definitely some surprising elements in this drama which made it all the more interesting. And even though it was very similar in plot wise to Big, I found it to have a different feeling. I also loved the humor in this drama.
The music was great but it did not really stand out to me.
I would definitely watch this many times over in the same day if I could.

Park Ye Jin plays Lee Tae Ri and she does an ok job. I just didn’t connect with her. I’m not sure if it was her acting or her character, but there is just something missing. Kim Kibum who plays Eun Dong/ Min Soo caught my attention from the beginning(I gave the acting a higher score because of him). I really enjoyed his acting as well as his character. It would be tuff to go from 14 to 25 in a day, but even with his immature behavior he survives it well. The extras also did a fine job and Jang Seo Won who plays Min Gook was excellent!!!
This drama began great, and there were a few episodes toward the end that were enjoyable. It just lacked something and I really think it was the chemistry between the leads. I don’t think it was the age difference. I have seen dramas with age difference where I thought that the couple was perfect for each other. In this drama I really didn’t care if they were together or not.
Anyway, it isn’t a horrible drama. The music is ok. The acting is ok. The story is ok.
I can’t really recommend it, but try it. You might like it!!!

It is filled with very cute moments, but also cheesy ones. As for me I did not mind the cheesy parts as most the time I found them funny or really cute, so I actually enjoyed them.
The show is pretty much about 14 year old Eun Dong changing into a 25 year old in one day. The way he is portrayed as a 14 year old boy in a 25 year old man body is very good. You will see how his mental age comes to play.
There are several love changes and love triangles throughout which I really did enjoy. As well as a really cute support character couple.
Also Eun Dong has so much charm with his childishness and the way he cheers people up with his words and actions is very cute and romantic. The thing I got tired of though is it got pretty repetitive. The way he cheers up Lee Tae Ri like every time is the hand holding followed by a bunch of promises.
The thing that may bother people though is that he is 14 and Tae Ri is 28. It did bother me at first, but he is so charming and way more mature for his age. I mean 14 isn't too bad, just 4 more years and he is considered an adult.
I would recommend this show for someone looking for cute, innocent, and slow romance.
Edit - Pumping it up to a 9 because I really liked the ending.

Storyline: was great, the writers knew what they were doing, if you like 'Noona Romances' then you'd be in for a treat with this one - so many funny situations took place and episode 1's ending had me rolling with laughter lol
Music: Love...Goodbye by Junsu was the memorable song - but the annotations and sound effects were the best on this drama lol
Cast: everyone played their roles well, and no one got on your nerves too much lol
If you ever watched Tom Hanks movie way back called "Big" and liked it but wanted a happier ending - then this is the drama for you ;)
Re-watch Value: I'll be sure to re-watch this drama sometime in the future - it was really good and hilarious too! the thinks the lead guy does - could only come from the mind of a 14 yr old - simply Brilliant!

This review may contain spoilers
This story was supposed to be fun comedy and fantasyBut some how it turned to be
Weird, lukewarm, full of flaws, illogical and shallow
The main story and the side stories i wasn't satisfied from at all
The plot could be more better than that even its fantasy but i saw it frustrated in many points
And the character development was really awful
The FL her face was frozen wz no sense in it same look and same face expression
The whole story wasn't connected for me
And jubi was a real selfish B****
provoked me from the beginning till the end
The end was so lame and emotionless even it's happy but really provoked me
With no satisfying details about what happened to all of the characters through the yrs
In many points the events were going so fast
I saw that a very huge flaw
Didn't like
Although I'm a very big fan for old dramas but sure not this one :(
