About

"Adult regrets, teenage do-over, surprising tenderness"

A directionless 27-year-old, stuck in dead-end temp jobs after quitting his first company, is offered a strange deal: take an experimental pill that de-ages him to 17 and spend one year back in high school as a covert research subject. He's dropped into a new class, told to blend in, and quietly observes teenage classmates wrestling with the same anxieties about the future he never resolved. It's a breezy, warm slice-of-life comedy with a melancholic undertow, more about quiet self-reflection than romance or drama, carried by likable characters and gentle humor.

Watch it for

the way it turns a goofy premise into genuine reflection on wasted youth and second chances.

Maybe skip if

you want fast-paced plot twists rather than a slow, character-driven mood piece.
