## Synopsis

Still 17 (2018) is a South Korean television romance drama created for SBS, a single-season k-drama of thirty-two half-hour episodes. Set in contemporary Seoul, it follows Gong Woo-Jin (Yang Se-jong), a guarded thirty-year-old set designer who has kept everyone at arm's length since a trauma thirteen years earlier. His life is upended when Woo Seo-Ri (Shin Hae-sun) wakes from a long coma, her mind still that of a seventeen-year-old while her body has aged to thirty. Their developing bond is the engine of the show: Woo-Jin must reckon with his own buried past while Seo-Ri relearns the world, and the two grow closer as they share a home. Around them, supporting characters including Yoo Chan (Ahn Hyo-seop) and Jennifer (Ye Ji-won) add friendship, rivalry and workplace texture. Episodes balance light comedy with melancholy and tender moments, so the register is warm yet wistful. Fans of My Love from the Star and Crash Landing on You will find the same blend of romance, humor and emotional healing.
