As you probably know by now, the heartwarming K-drama 18 Again is based on the 2009 American movie 17 Again! Both the film and the series tells the story of a middle-aged man who is suddenly transformed back to his high school self, and he uses it as a chance to fix his *broken* relationships with his wife and children. Over the past months, we've grown to love both the Korean adaptation and the OG movie equally! And in case you haven't seen the drama (or the movie), here's a comparison of what the 18 Again and 17 Again cast members look like:
