Kim Ha-neul also thanked viewers for sharing in the drama's emotional experience with her. In "18 Again" Kim Ha-neul plays a wife turned announcer, who's had a late start to her career due to her family life. She is also at a low point in her relationship with her husband, who is unexpectedly transformed into his eighteen year old self as they are negotiating their way through a divorce. Kim Ha-neul has received much praise for having strong chemistry with her co-stars.

Kim Ha-neul praised each of her co-stars in turn in this regard. She described as Lee Do-hyun as stylish in his role of her youthful husband. Kim Ha-neul described Wi Ha-jun as being both manly and romantic in the role of second lead. But the strongest praise was reserved for Yoon Sang-hyun, who Kim Ha-neul described as a warm person with a strong positive influence on everyone on the shooting set.

Kim Ha-neul also mentioned how while she enjoyed her usual melodrama scenes, the parts about "18 Again" that she enjoyed the most were the more positive scenes of affection. Kim Ha-neul expressed fondness to defying her own usual scenes regarding women's issues to instead turn the tables for a more positive message. As an example, she gave the umbrella scene with her children in the epilogue of the first episode. "18 Again" will air its ninth episode on October 19th.
