Responde 1988 (2015)

I'm very sorry I did not watch this drama earlier. It's absolutely beautiful. I always wanted to watch the "Reply" series, because I LOVE this type of shows, about the past, following various families and it is about life.
I was choosing between "Reply 1988" and "Reply 1997", and I end up seeing this.
It’s such a good drama, and a must watch.
Reply 1988 made me feel how good the past was, they appreciated the most simple and unique things, like family and friendship. I was so jealous seeing that neighborhood, they shared everything and they had such a good friendship...and I live alone xD
So the drama is really good, one of my favourites. The story and the cast is amazing. And the music, that old music with those old beats are so beautiful and good to hear.
Even though I had the wrong shipp and in the end, it made me sad, I really don't care, I still love the drama.
I had such a good time watching this. <3

JUST GIVE THIS A TRY!! MUST WATCH FOR WARMTH

This drama is the best??. I am writing a review months later although this is the longest drama I have watched with 1 hour and above. This drama forced me to write it as the storyline was fab???. I was thinking of rating it 9 or even 9.5 if possible but I have 10 because each episode made me laugh till my stomach would hurt. some of the scenes also made me cry and excited..everyone is on about how they wanted jeoung hwan and Deok down together(even I wanted it to happen). I was preparing for that hate-to-love story from the few episodes.so I took a small peek at the spoiler and was so disappointed that they weren't together, so I told myself to get prepared for it..so I was ready to accept Deok Soen and Teakie's relationship. Also, I thought Park Bo Gum's character was a little dull although his character was a famous Buduk player. For the fans of Park No Gum should watch this drama. I love this drama a lot.I think this is also the longest review I have written.???

Excepcional

Pensei que não conseguiria passar do primeiro episódio, principalmente por causa da estética e cenário mais antigo, já que se passava no final dos anos 80. Porém, foi o melhor dorama que já assisti (e já vi muitos, diga-se de passagem).
É um drama lindo que aborda temas como juventude, amizade, família e passar do tempo. Você vai rir muito, mas vai chorar mais ainda. Cada personagem conquista seu coração, você vai torcer pelos casais que se formaram e vai sofrer por aqueles que não deram certo. É impossível não querer fazer parte daquela dinâmica, do ciclo de amizade dos cinco e das famílias. Você vai desejar morar em Ssangmun-dong, se reunir na casa do Taek, e passar um tempo conversando do lado de fora com as mães. Vai querer fazer parte de tudo!
É tão envolvente que quando você menos perceber lá se foram os 20 episódios. Não tem nada melhor do que ver um dorama longo e terminar satisfeita, com a sensação de que valeu apena cada minuto.

dare solo 10 a questa serie mi obbligherebbe ad abbassare

tutti i giudizi fin qui dati.
E' un romanzo corale, scritto benissimo che, ambientato negli anni 80 nella Corea del Sud, ripercorre le vicende familiari di un gruppo di 5-6 famiglie e dei relativi componenti: figli tra i 18 e i 25 anni; coniugi, padri e madri, vicini di casa che diventano punto di forza e sostegno gli uni per gli altri. E' analogo alla serie "This is us", ma calato nella cultura Coreana e senza gli impicci di personaggi che sono un omaggio al "politicamente corretto" ... qui tutti hanno i loro pregi e i loro difetti e il loro percorso di vita e di catarsi.
Detto con le "pinze" è un po' come leggere i Promessi Sposi o Guerra e Pace o Anna Karenina dove Manzoni e Tolstoj delineano personaggio per personaggio e contemporaneamente il contesto storico. I personaggi, anche qui, sono guardati sempre con positività, con compartecipazione al loro dramma, mai con cinismo o moralismo.
Il cast è composto da attori eccellentissimi. La fotografia, le musiche e l'assenza di "sbrodolature" o eccessive lungaggini nel fanno un prodotto davvero raccomandabile.
Per i temi trattati dai 13-14 anni in su.

I enjoyed most about the series is the beginning and the end of this. The middle was a little laggy. I’ve watched many “reply” series and I must admit this one had a more nostalgic ending. Watching it and hearing how she reflects on her youth and the neighborhood and how things gradually changed is something that everyone can relate to.

What I like most about this was that it really evoked youthful memories. I also like the community vibe, the love, support and laughter. It was truly warm.

What is disliked it that it was not so eventful and they really dragged the secret relationship out to the last moment.

Wow...

I've watched this drama so many times. It portrays friendship and family dynamics in the most heartwarming way possible. I don't think I will ever watch another k-drama better than this. The plot was fantastic and covered so much, more than I could ask for.

I LOVE the cast and their chemistry. I really don't have any complaints about this show, other than the fact that I just want more and more.

The OSTs are extremely iconic and catchy, and "Hyehwadong" (sung by Park Bo-ram) really just epitomises nostalgia and childhood. So many variety shows have used that track to encapsulate nostalgia and it really just makes me feel very warm. I miss my childhood. Outstanding show and an outstanding performance by the cast. Best k-drama ever in my opinion.

In summary:
What i liked - everything
What i disliked - i want more

Star of the show: Hyeri, Lee Dong-hwi, Ra Mi-ran, Kim Sung-kyun

Rating: 11/10
Watch if you want to cry

Delicate, simple and funny... Yet touching and deep.

This is a story about life.

From the small things, to the big events, it's all shown in a simple way, just as it is. Sometimes slow, sometimes incredibly fast, and it's somehow relatable, because it's about emotions and concerns we all experience in some way, at some time in our lives.
Sadness, insecurities, hardships, fear, longing, regret, foolishness, maturity, growth, joy, nostalgia, comfort, gratitude.

I think this is a drama that teaches something important: find meaning in the small things in life. Every caring word and act has meaning and they have more value that what we may think for a moment.
It also teaches that family is not only the one of blood, family is the people who know you, stay with you and care for you no matter what.
I really loved the heartwarming friendship and incredible bonds between people shown in this drama, it was a joy to see, and i loved every character, whom I grew fond of.
Also, the cast for this drama was truly amazing.

Anyway, this show conveyed to me something precious: live to the fullest, cry sometimes, don't miss too many chances, be brave, enjoy life and say "I love you" to your important persons.
Finally, it reminded me, once again, that friendship is one of the greatest treasures in life.

I live in Ssangmundong. Periodt.

This is the first show that feels so alive for me. I once lived in Ssangmundong! I once fell in love with my best friend's sister! I once had hard times to sleep because i was too anxious with my upcoming competition! I once won lottery and became rich! I once had an unspoken crush on my best friend! I once had role in Olympics opening ceremony!

I love how they successfully made every character shines in their own story. And trust me the chemistry between the WHOLE neighborhood is too strong in every aspect: friendship, romance, siblings, parents. Trust me.

And for the iconic element of Reply series, the love triangle/husband-guessing part is quite fun and..rocky ? both male leads are so likeable. And female lead has great chemistry with both. So I warn you, whoever you choose you'd end up falling for the second lead (but who is the second lead anyway? There's no second lead)

The message depicted in this show is clear and done beautifully. Go watch it! Do not easily feel bored in the first episodes because once you get it through the end you'd never move on from this show.

The only thing I didn't like is the ending. I feel depressed when I watched the ending. Like you know I felt so sad when one-by-one, they left their old houses in Ssangmundong :"( I could never rewatch the flashback scenes in ep 20 :")))

Must see for its nostalgic value

For anyone who grew up in the pre-internet, analog era with music cassettes and cassette tape recorders, and families huddling around the TV waiting to watch that weekly show, this is a MUST see. It will take you down memory lane, no matter which country you grew up in. The 80s were all the same, not just in S.Korea.

An interplay of neighbourly relationships, this drama harks back to an age where people in a neighhourhood helped each out, shared lives, shared food, even shared wealth amongst each other.

The last scene is a true tear jerker, as you realize, just as in your own life, that that bitter sweet era is over, changed forever by the modern, internet driven world, where a nobody like me can write a review online about a foreign show, an era that is never to be seen again.

The drama tells you eveything that us as human goes on no matter what generation you are. It tells you starting a new life, romance, family, friends, and etc. You should take a risk that maybe one day will be a regret or not.

The acting is great that the characters are super relatable that they made you hook to the drama itself. Their journey itself is the main hook. Every character have their own charm and special in the audience.

I recomend you should watch this and include to your list if you are a beginner to the kdrama world. The ost is also making the drama more hook!!!

Watch also the other reply series, reply 1997 and 1994. Both are good also. The director of these dramas is good that translating to the visual and how each chracter should act and their feelings toward each other.
