Watching This K-Drama Felt Like Coming Home...

Reply 1988 was one of the K-drama that has received the most praise on the K-Drama subreddit thread along with the fantastic My Mister, so I had to watch it. The fact that this drama was from the people behind my favourite K-drama thus far, the excellent Hospital Playlist, only further piqued my interest in this series. After watching its first two episodes, I must say that I was disappointed. Although the series is technically good, it just didn't grip him like Hospital Playlist did. There is a possibility that the series will grip me at a later episode, but it is only 20 episodes and I am unsure if it will ever hook me if I continue to watch. I found the story so far to be a bit pedantic and melodramatic. Unlike the profound realism and bright optimism of Hospital Playlist, Reply 1988 opts for forced life moments with cheesy life lesson narration and slight comic relief through irritating family squabbles (where the wife is always yelling at and nagging the pathetic husband), shrill sister fights and weird husband antics. Though I do admit that the friendship between the 5 teenagers was quite touching.

On a side note, what is up with that annoying goat-bleating sound? I get that it's for comedic effect like a laugh track for sitcoms, but it really gets on your nerves.

I've finished Episode 5 and I'm still not interested enough to keep watching. I'm still not hooked. I find it to be a bit too slow and aimless for my taste. I guess that unfortunately, this highly-accalimed K-drama just doesn't mesh with me. This will be the first K-drama that I drop (unfortunately)...

However, I gave the drama another chance and I became quickly hooked. Watching this drama felt like coming home. Watching it was relaxing and the perfect way to unwind after a stressful day of school. Though the drama can be a bit slow and cheesy at times (like when Sun-woo talked to his dead father), it is always engaging and touching. Just like Hospital Playlist, this K-drama displayed the beauty of everyday life, in a specific neighborhood during a specific time period. I loved how the drama explored the issues and laws that were prevalent in that time period which piques my curiosity and made me do some research, such as why the same-name marriage law and the two-in-laws-from-the-same-family taboo existed.

I do have to say that I was surprised that Deok-sun ended up with Taek and not Jung-hwan. I was rooting for Jung-hwan the entire time. The writers wanted us to root for Jung-hwan because he held a flame for Deok-sun for much longer than Taek and was more earnest and persistent in his actions. Taek was just luckier. Deok-sun's husband also looked and acted like Jung-hwan too! What a bait-and-switch if I ever say one! Kudos to the writers though for not giving in to convention and giving the audience what we expect. However, I did quickly fall for Deok-sun and Taek's relationship, I must admit.

I also got quite emotional at times when the drama made me reflect on my own life; about whether or not I would actually practice as a dentist after I finish dental school or pursue something that I actually enjoy or whether I will ever get married (which I fear will not ever happen). I do love whenever a story makes me think about my own life, reminding me to live a life that I would be proud of - those are the best kinds of stories...

I am a bit frustrated by seeing a person with everything got the girl

I am a bit frustrated after seeing this series, from beginning till 10th episode, I was rooting for this series plus cast and overall atmosphere it provided. But when the love story gradually moved towards park Bo gum, I literally hated this series, from beginning we saw jung hwan cared for the girl, he helped her, loved her, took umbrella for her, goes to Mcdonald, but what happens at end, he didn't get girl.
In my opinion, he was male lead but as show progressed writers did a fucked up job by not giving him girl.
I didn't belive how drama unfolded in later stages.
In beginning when 2015s deok husband was shown he was sincerely jung hwan but what they did was played with emotion of someone like me who just wanted him to end with girl.

I'm still in the post Reply 1988 aka Taek, so I might as well write a review about this drama that I've been trying to sell to my other friends to watch.

I really really enjoyed the entire story, and really loved that each episodes was based on a theme. Through this set up, the characters and story was able to unravel beautifully. There is also a lot of heart to the story, and what I really enjoyed was that it was more than just a romance/love triangle. The drama explored important issues about family, growing up and life in general. Not every episode was 10/10 because there were a few that felt draggy. Those episode really did make the 1 1/2 hour felt longer than it already was!

The cast absolutely fitted the character they played! I felt so connected to the characters that the actors/actress portrayed. Talking about characters, seriously guys if you don't fall in love with Taek well I don't know what's wrong with you or maybe it's just me. When he smiles.... I'm a goner. He is just beautiful! Okay, on a more serious note I loved that we saw each character grow in front of our eyes. I think that's the beauty of the Reply series, the fact that we are able to see people grow up and face issues that people their age still face today. It's a different era but I always find it interesting to see that the issues the previous generations faced remains prevalent today. For example there was an episode about dreams which made me really reflect on my life and my own dreams and ambition. It takes a special drama to make you think like that.

The music was completely nostalgic and I wasn't even brought up in Korea during that period. I can only wonder how those that did grow up during that time would feel watching this drama. It would definitely bring out many forgotten memories of their youth!

I won't watch the entire thing again, but there are a few episodes that really touched me so I will watch those again!

I recommend this drama for people who want to watch a drama that want to revisit their youth, even if their still in it, just past it or are way past it. It's a very sentimental drama with a story that makes your feels go all over the place, and endearing characters that make you fall in love with them.

Hermosa historia familiar

Estaba muy en contra de arrancar el drama porque sentía que no me iba a gustar pero no pude estar mas equivocado... la historia es hermosa con un buen mensaje final que a todos nos dejara pensando, no es necesario estar en tus 40 para sentir como la vida se va pasando y esos recuerdos de la niñez van quedando cada vez mas lejanos.
En lo personal no empatice tanto con la historia de la pandilla aunque la envidio mucho porque una amistad así de tantos años desde muy pequeños debe ser algo hermoso pero si pude sentir todo lo que quisieron transmitir con las historias de sacrificio de los padres para ser los mejores padres y poder darle todo a sus hijos, en algunos casos con dificultades para poder transmitirlo pero con el amor familiar siempre presente.
Ame la pareja principal y me gusta mucho el juego de misterio por ver quien era el esposo de duk sun pero la pareja secundaria de bo ra la hermana de duk sun me encanto mucho más y los besos (por dios park shin hye toma nota de esos besos).
La música me parece muy acorde al drama, me gusto mucho como acompaño cada escena emotiva y descubrir canciones de los 80's 90's de la cultura coreana fue divertido.
De la actuación no tengo mucho para decir porque todos estuvieron perfectos, no hubo un solo personaje que no me hiciera sentir lo que quería transmitir para bien y para mal pero si quiero hacer mención del personaje que siento q no se tenia tan en cuenta en la historia pero que fue muy importante para el desarrollo de varias cosas y ese fue dong ryong. el personaje es algo tonto e inmaduro pero cada consejo que le dio a los miembros de la pandilla fue perfecto para la situación en la que estaba.

"The reason I miss that time and that street isn’t only because I miss my younger self. It is because my parents’ youth, my friends’ youth – the youth of everything I loved was in that place. I regret not bidding a final farewell to the surrounding of my youth that can never be brought back together again. To the things that’ve already gone, to the time I can’t return to… I bid my belated farewell. Goodbye, my youth. Goodbye, Ssangmun-dong”

It's the kind of drama that when I finish it I have lost a dear friend, attitudes, characters and story are all close to my heart, Drama that made me cry at the same time made me laugh.
Even though I was not present in 1988, but I wished I was there, intimacy, friendship and relationship with neighbors and the parents of all the feelings I loved her.
This drama classify within the dramas that do not forget and that will remain dear to my heart, because they represent me and imagine my feelings.
deserve watching .

Perfect, simplicity, friendship, neighborhood.

Reply 1988 has became my top 1 drama without a doubt. It's amazing how it can show you the sentiments of each character from the main to the least important one, you get dragged to their history and understands everything that happens. Not being a spoiler, but if you watch this drama, since the first episode you might dislike someone... But, even the ones you dislike you learn about their actions and even if you don't love (because I did), you at least start to understand some of their actions or learn how to forgive them. It's wonderful how you can't see a main couple, you are surrounded with romance, from absolutely EVERYWHERE!!!! But you may be disappointed with the pairs, but don't be!! Try to understand everyone of them especially when they give you, viewer, their own explanation... Because there isn't a single thing in this drama that there isn't shown to us, the feelings, the reasons for everything, the closeness, every detail is perfect. The friendship of this gang is unique and makes you wanna have the same thing, or make you remember about yours. You get so immerse into the history that, if you did live in the simplicity, makes you remember about your childhood; or if you didn't, makes you value the simplicity about things who doesn't need luxury, and that friendship and love is the only thing that can bring peace to the human being. It is a flawless drama, with many episodes who aren't small, but it is going to be definitely worth watching. I love how everything fits, the clothes, the hairstyles, the OST's and each character. I can't judge you for not liking it, because I understand it is not the most attractive drama with the most beautiful scenery. But you can't definitely say it has many touching scenes and phrases about reality. I think I'm going to watch it one more time...

Screw you, second main lead syndrome!!!!!

The only reason I dropped this drama was



Yup that's right

SECOND MAIN LEAD SYNDROME

I figured that the person I rooted for wasn't the lead. It ruined the entire drama for me. But anyone who likes slow paced dramas about family, friends and a quiet type of drama will enjoy this. It makes people cry and its a beautiful portrayal. It captures the aesthetic of the 80s very well. My parents who are from that era absolutely loved it. It's nice to know that the 80s worked the same way even in our country. It was very nostalgic and well-executed. I can't really complain though. This series is based on a true story. So I can't really change the ending because that's what actually happened. I'm the kind of person that doesn't enjoy excessive second lead syndrome. It makes the drama sad and sentimental for most people but it ends up annoying me a lot on most occasions which just makes me drop the drama in the end.

I wasn't born 1988 but my heart stayed here

Y'all....I never thought I'd ever finish another kdrama until the very last episode but this broke my curse!!! Which is crazy bc this was 20 eps long and each eps being almost 2 hrs long!!

I loved loved loved this drama. I love how realistic and how close to life it is. It felt so nostalgic seeing the families exchanging food and the kids hanging around whichever house bc that reminded me so much of my childhood. All of the ahjummas and ahjussi were such imperfectly perfect parents to their kids. And the Ssangmundong kids' bonds were so strong, you can see how much they valued their friendship with each other over anything. All of it was so warm, fuzzy, sweet and comforting to me.

Call me crazy but my favorite character was Bora. She was horrible the first few eps but I'm so glad she got better. Don't even get me started on the Sungwoo-Bora love line bc that took me by SURPRISE....AND I LOVED IT. I genuinely believe it was the reason why I finished the series lol. Something about their dynamic was so endearing to me. Their pairing caught me so off-guard that I got so intrigued and next thing I knew they were all I cared about. I loved them so much.

I will miss the Ssangmundong neighborhood. Man, the hangover is strong on this one. I feel bad for future watchers bc this drama is gonna stay with you like it stayed in mine. I feel like I've experienced another childhood that I can never get back to again. Oh, I love when dramas make me feel like this.
