Synopsis
"Twenty Again" (두번째 스무살, 2015) is a South Korean romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Kim Hyung-sik, starring Choi Ji-woo and Lee Sang-yoon.
Ha No-ra is 39 and hasn't been in a classroom since she was 19 — an unplanned pregnancy ended her plans and two decades as a housewife filled the gap. She finally enrolls in college, ends up in the same program as her adult son and his girlfriend, and finds that her drama professor is the man she loved before she met her husband. Her husband also teaches at the same university. The show doesn't play this entirely for farce: underneath the coincidences is a quieter question about what a woman owes herself after two decades of disappearing into someone else's priorities.
Choi Ji-woo brings a specific earnestness to No-ra that keeps the comedy from turning slapstick. Stream "Twenty Again" online on iFILM.
