Review – Twenty Again
What a gem of a show! Such a simple premise… a young, energetic dancer has a one night stand with a stranger that ends in an unexpected pregnancy – she ends up hastily getting married and follows her new husband to Germany, where he has his first professor appointment. There, isolated and alone, she sort of looses her spark and falls into obscurity, her house and home becoming her entire world as all her dreams are lost. Motherhood becomes her only solace. Her husband pushes her further and further away, until finally he asks for a divorce when their son is a teenager. They postpone the divorce until their kid goes off to college… and in a mad dash attempt to save her marriage by becoming the intellectual equal of her husband, our leading lady secretly enrolls in college. There she runs into one of her best friends from high school, who secretly had a crush on her, and the show takes off!
So much happens. There are all sorts of twists and turns in the relationships. Affairs. Terminal illnesses. Miscommunication on an epic scale. And adorable banter and humor between the adult leads, as well as all the students, faculty and staff. So much cuteness. And a really great story, too, of growing up even when you’re already a grown up. I loved it.
Overall Rating: 8/10. There’s No Planned Parenthood in K-World.
