Second 20s is a South Korean romantic comedy-drama television series that aired in 2015. The show stars Choi Ji-woo, Lee Sang-yoon, and Choi Wonyoung in lead roles. The plot of the show revolves around a woman named Ha Nora, who is a 39-year-old housewife with a husband and two children. After living a life filled with responsibilities and duties, Nora decides to pursue her dream of going to college and achieving her goals.

The show takes off with Nora's husband, Choi Jin-woo, getting a divorce and Nora suddenly left with nothing but her kids and a mountain of responsibilities. This situation leads her to feel lost and aimless, but one day, she decides to enroll in the same college her son goes to. With this decision, Nora's life changes completely, and she begins to discover herself and her dreams.

Nora's journey through college is not easy, mainly due to the generational gap that exists between her and her classmates. But she perseveres through the difficulties and gradually begins to enjoy her newfound freedom and independence. Along the way, Nora becomes friends with her classmates and even finds herself attracted to her college professor, Lee Sang-yeob.

One of the most significant themes of the show is the relationship between Nora and her son, Kim Min-soo. Before she went back to college, Nora was a relatively strict and authoritarian mother both to Min-soo and his younger brother. However, with her newfound outlook on life, Nora begins to understand the importance of letting go of some control and trusting her children. Through the show, the relationship between Nora and Min-soo transforms into a more adult and peer-like interaction.

Another theme that the series explores appropriately is the idea of youthfulness and aging. Nora feels oppressed by her age throughout most of the show, and she feels as though she has missed out on the accomplishments and experiences of typical college students. However, Nora's time in college, along with the people she meets, teaches her to embrace her age and accept that everyone has their own pace and journey in life.

The chemistry between the lead characters and their performances is another standout aspect of the show. Choi Ji-woo plays her role as Nora exceptionally well and creates a believable portrayal of a middle-aged woman going through a unique phase in her life. Lee Sang-yeob, who portrays Nora's professor, also gives a satisfying performance as someone who is struggling with his own demons and learns to be vulnerable with Nora.

The show's production value is also commendable, with a crisp and polished look that adds to the overall storyline. The soundtrack and background score complement the scenes and help convey the emotions of the characters.

In conclusion, Second 20s is a relatable and heartwarming show that explores the themes of aging, relationships, and chasing one's dreams. With its strong performances, in-depth character explorations, and engaging storyline, Second 20s is a must-watch for those who enjoy slice-of-life dramas.
