I still can't believe that there will be a drama that replace the classics in my heart. I mean I'm not that satisfied with Korean drama these days because the plot are sometimes similar. My favourites will always be the old ones, like Jewel in the Palace, Full House, My Girl, etc. HOWEVER. This drama climbs up to become my second favourite drama of all time! (after Jewel in the Palace).

I understand when people did not like this one because they said this is boring, too confusing, etc. Because I felt it at first. But I stuck with it, and thanks God for that. This drama is so refreshing, different than other Korean dramas. I love everything about it. The actors, the characters, the plot, the voiceovers, the directing, basically everything. This drama is so nostalgic. And I definitely love to reminiscing that good old days. Not to mention that this drama did NOT have even a single evil character. Everything felt real. I love the moral lessons.

I would say that this drama is about love. Love in every aspect, not only between a girl and a boy. But parents's love to their children, brothers love, love between friends, even fans love to their idols. I love ALL the voiceovers in this drama. They are moral lessons. This is an example: “Life comes and attacks you when you least expect it. It might be sadness, or extreme fear. At that moment, what can we do is accept reality and admit we lost. We don’t know how life will turn out. There is no way we can avoid it. We just have to face it, and get hurt once in a while. But life sometimes thrills us with unexpected events. And gives us happiness when we overcome hardships. We never know how life will turn out. So we use all our sense to survive it."

Thank you, Reply 1997, for the amazing ride and to taught me so much about life.
