Twenty Again (2015)

A drama about mature love and second time round. Both sets of protagonists have been hurt in life. Both sets of protagonists are looking at changing their lives and starting a new chapter - whether they're pushed into it or made their own choice to embark on a new chapter.

Second to Last is about an adult romance about a forty-something woman finding love and who works as a television producer. She has no interest in romance and just concerns herself with preparing for retirement, but when she moves to a new town, she meets a 46-year-old man who’s widowed and has one child, and a romance begins.

Twenty again is about a 38-year-old woman who dreamt of becoming a dancer in her high school years but gets pregnant, marries, and foregoes her dreams, twenty years later her husband wants a divorce, she runs into her first love again with a second and last chance at love.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

- Both dramas center around a FL in her 30s attempting to adjust to a new environment (academia, the workforce) after years of being a homemaker
- The FL is a mother and has a troubled marriage (leading her to eventually be with the ML)
- The leads knew each other prior and are just getting reacquainted

The couple met the first time in their youth and things didn't work out but even though they've moved on, they now have a second chance at love.

Both begin with a shy and seemingly weak female heroine who, thanks to a health scare, really come into their own throughout the series. Scent of a Woman is a more serious tearjerker throughout and the health problem is real, but the journey both women go through makes them more confident, outspoken and more attractive to the male leads. You can't go wrong with either one. And its especially satisfying and hilarious to see the female leads get out of their own way to take control of their lives and silence their critics. Fighting!!

Both are about correcting mistakes of the past, they show how life choices can change your life but it's not too late for a second chance.

Both of shows include one of parents who reenter the high school/college life after many years being married and raising their childs.

The main common points the couples are about to be divorced and parents (female in 20 again and male in 18 again) are in the same college/school of their childs.

Female leads are trying their luck to study the major she wanted in 20 again and the job she dreamed before marriage in 18 again.

Both of female leads having same character of innocence and being criticized by their surroundings for being older than their colleagues.

Shows of second chance in life and love theme but fantasy genre in 18 again where the male lead return to his old young self to rectify all his mistakes.

If you can't get over Lee Sang Yoon just yet, watch On the Way to the Airport, after watching Twenty Again, or vice versa.

Anyway, both dramas are similar because:
1.) Both female leads are wives, with a child and the husbands do not love them anymore. Either they are on the verge of breaking up, or sort of broke up already, not just legalizing the divorce yet.
2.) Both husbands of the FL's have another woman already. They are having an affair with someone else.
3.) Both wives find "friendship" with a male friend...who helps them a lot
4.) Both dramas are discovering yourself and shining again after coming from rock bottom,aka, divorce...

There are a lot of differences too, but just watch both of them. Or if you have watched either of them, you will want to watch the other drama. Believe me...and male lead, Lee Sang Yoon is so adorable on both dramas...you won't have withdrawal syndrome from him if you watch both dramas one after the other...

- 1st lead is given a second chance in life and will live it fully
- FL is discreet and lacks confidence at the beginning
- University life
- ML and FL have known each other from previous schools
- ML encourages the FL in her growth ...
- ... and falls in love with her in the process
- Both shows are about self-acceptance and going through prejudices

Both about 'ajumma's who had mistake marriages because they got pregnant and decide to take their lives back. Both also have shallow cheating husbands.
