I love drama that explores the struggles of being older (38 isn’t even old either) in a “young adult environment”. Twenty Again explores not only the idea of going to College at a later stage of your life, but it also explores the idea of capturing lost time and why making the most of your life is important, at any age. Do what makes you happy and fulfilled. Don’t try and force yourself to change to suit someone else because that’s not healthy and it can lead to long term regret. The story is wonderfully touching and hilarious. Ha No Ra and Cha Hyun Suk are great leads to follow throughout the story. No Ra is a very stubborn person. She has been forced into a certain role by her Husband, Kim Woo Chul, but she has no real desire to leave that life as it's all she knows at first. Her reason to go to college was to become intellectual equals with Woo Chul. It’s petty but understandable. But after being misdiagnosed with Cancer, her outlook begins to change and she starts looking at herself. A releatbale, sympathetic character that has both of her most important figures in her life against her but she powers on through. Hyun-suk, a professor at the University and her childhood friend, helps her on the journey. Although it’s initially under the guise that No Ra is dying and wants to help her fulfill her last wishes, he is still annoyed at her for something that happened years prior and is equally as petty along the way. This leads to great comedic moments that stay throughout the series.

Another aspect of the show that I liked is that the antagonists also go on a journey to find themselves in life. Kim Woo Chul is an arrogant, narcissistic man. While his reasons for wanting a divorce are just, he doesn’t make it easy for anyone. Woo Chul is selfish but he slowly begins to realise what he has in his life, what is truly important and eventually sees the error of his ways. There is a charm to his character. Most of that is thanks to Choi Won Young’s portrayal of the character. He is an entertaining presence in the series. He is hateable in the best way possible because when No Ra exceeds her ambitions, it proves him wrong and he knows it. He isn’t a villain. He’s just a normal guy who is narcissistic.
