Twenty Years Old a sweet romantic comedy with Lee Ki Kwang

Twenty Years Old is a 2014 Korean drama I started almost by accident. I didn’t even know it was airing, and since there weren’t many interesting things to watch at the time, I decided to give it a shot. Sometimes, starting a drama without expectations is the best way to enjoy it, and Twenty Years Old turned out to be one of those small, unexpected gifts Korean dramas occasionally give us.

A Light and Sweet Korean Drama About Being Twenty

Although I left my twenties behind a long time ago, Twenty Years Old brings back memories without trying too hard. The starting point is obviously a bit different from the lives of most of us, but the feeling is still relatable.

This Korean drama is extremely cute, so cute that you can’t help but smile. It’s fuzzy, cheesy, and a little silly, but in the best possible way. You know exactly what you’re watching, and yet it still manages to warm your heart.

Short Format: Only Four Episodes

Twenty Years Old is a very short Korean drama, with only four episodes (technically three, with the last one being double-length). It’s a perfect quick watch if you’re in the mood for something light, especially if your watchlist is full of heavy, emotional dramas.

It’s not the greatest drama of all time, and maybe such a thing doesn’t even exist, but it doesn’t need to be. It does exactly what it sets out to do.

Cast: Lee Ki Kwang and Lee Da In

If you’re a BEAST (Highlight) fan, you absolutely have to watch Twenty Years Old. The male lead is Lee Ki Kwang, and while I still think Me Too, Flower! was his strongest performance, he’s incredibly charming here as the main character.

Starring alongside him is Lee Da In, who plays his former classmate and first love. Now in her twenties, her life is a little chaotic and when the two meet again, old feelings naturally start to resurface.

Final Thoughts on Twenty Years Old

There isn’t much more to say: Twenty Years Old is sweet, simple, and lovely. Even as a mobile drama, it manages to deliver romance, nostalgia, and warmth in a very short amount of time.

If you’re looking for a short Korean drama that’s easy to watch and genuinely charming, Twenty Years Old is definitely worth a try.
