I cannot return back to my youth...

This is my second time watching this K-drama, and I am in shambles once again...!

The way this series beautifully captures youth, life, family, friendships, and so much more is intricate and deeply woven. It touches my heart and has left me awestruck, which no other series has had that lasting effect. Maybe I'm just a sucker for dramas about life and family, but Reply 1988 really, really, really perfects it. You fall in love with every character on the screen, and after each episode, you keep wanting to watch more and more until you inevitably reach the end. Personally, I'm not an avid rewatcher of K-dramas, but this definitely takes the stick. Deok-Seon did such a phenomenal job with her role, and this is by far her best drama she has performed in. I wasn't introduced to her until "Friendly Rivalry," but her acting in this is top-notch and out of this world. And you certainly can't forget about Park Bo Gum. He is such an amazing character on and off screen, and he portrayed the timid and clumsy Taek perfectly. I also just love the whole cast in general, and the directors did such an outstanding job choosing the actors and actresses precisely.

Everyone should watch this drama at least once in their lives. Yes, it goes through everyday lives that may seem boring to some people, but trust me, this will make you sob and feel nostalgia you have never experienced before. I'm a senior in high school, and I already feel my youth slowly becoming out of reach from me. Reply 1988 taught me to savor my youth while I can and not try to grow up; I still have so much ahead of me and should make lasting memories while I still can. Go out with friends, spend more time with my parents---whatever it is, I shouldn't be wasting my youth away. Time will slowly catch up to you, so it is up to you to learn how to appreciate your youth and really take it all in before it's too late.

I could go on and on about how Reply 1988 is a masterpiece and how much it means to me. But I will save that for another day. Any kind of age can and should watch this, but I know this will hit hard and deep for adults, parents, or anyone who is constantly looking back at their olden days and reminiscing about the good times.

PLEASE, EVERYONE, GO WATCH IT!! THERE IS A REASON WHY IT IS RATED A 9/10 !!!
