18 Again (2020)
18 Again asks you to come along on its journey of togetherness, healing, and forgiveness.
Backed by great production and a strong, albeit slightly bloated script. The story progression is fine but it does seem to venture a bit off track at times. The ending sequences also could've been a little more refined. But still, by then I was already caught; hook, line, and sinker. I was emotionally invested in the story and honestly, I just wanted to see the characters simply be happy once more and forever.
The show strikes a good balance of lighthearted fun and emotional depth. A bit childish at times, sweet and endearing other times, and knows exactly when to be a real tearjerker. The emotional weight is evident and the lighthearted moments never fails to complement it every step of the way. The cast of characters had fairly good chemistry with one another and with the Male Lead pulling, essentially, double-duty--- it's evident that he very much carries the show from start to finish. The romance aspects are a bit sidelined as the show definitely leans more towards a slice of life, family-healing/bonding theme. And as it should because it does its best during those times.
I can see why the show is relatable to many because, well, who doesn't want to be 18 again?
