An elderly woman (Na Moon Hee) regains her youthful appearance, changes her name and embarks on a quest for happiness. Director :  Hwang Dong-hyuk Featured song :  Raindrop Revised Romanization :  Susanghan gunyeo Adaptations :  Sweet 20  (2017),  Sweet 20  (2015),  Miss Granny  (2018) Writers(from imdb ): Dong-ik Shin Yoon-jeong Hong Hee-seon Dong Dong-hyuk Hwang ... (adaptation) Miss Granny 2014 The Filipino version is almost exactly the same as the South Korean version.  The songs are different, the fruits are different, but it is practically the same.  It's like watching the same musical two different nights, the same script, but with different actors.

The first person, besides God that is, we should love is our very selves.  We cannot give what we do not have.  If we do not love ourselves, then we couldn't love others. The words above is the message this movie wants to remind us of.  Patty(Sharon Cuneta) did not know how to love herself so she was never truly happy, until Cocoy(Robin Padilla) came back into her life after thirty-five years.  The young one...
