This drama has been on my plan to watch list for a long time, but due to recommendations of my friends, I have finally decided to watch it and damn I felt angry on myself that I did not watch it earlier.

First of all, I really loved the vibe of reply 1988. The neighbourhood, the friends, the love story and the connection between them all. Every character has had an amazing character development, even the low support characters. We often do not see this, but within this drama everyone had their moment to shine. It is not your typical kdrama, but it is much more and has so much depth.

Secondly, the simplicity of the plotline made me very emotional. We watch a completely normal neighbourhood going through daily life struggles with each other. Many things that happened during the drama are becoming realistic for the viewer and even recognisable. I have been through a whole emotional rollercoaster with these families, the writers did again an amazing job.

As for the romance, this drama managed to create a realistic love story. We did not get your typical rich man/poor girl relationship. Instead, we follow the FL and the possible love interest she encounters. Beside that, all of the five friends (and their parents) will get through a phase of growing up with ups and downs and with love encounters. I sincerely enjoyed the love plotline, during the whole story we get many hints and we can clearly see why our FL ended up with this person.

Lastly, the OST. Damn the OST of this drama hit me, it is light, sweet and has a lovely vibe. Some songs somehow reminded me a bit of meteor garden (Taiwanese version). I have definitely put the ost in my playlist and i still enjoy it. So as a final result, even though eps are around 2 hours, it is even worth rewatching this drama multiple times. So guys, do not hesitate and give it a shot. I will promise you. You will fall in love with it. Let me know your opinions!

Before I started to watch this drama I was a bit sceptical about this because it had 56 episodes. However, I decided tog give it a shot and it was definitely worth it. This drama was very light and sweet, everyhing just fit. The plotline was not very renewing but it was also kind of different than the standard romcom drama. Though, the beginning was a bit too long for me, but after I watched through this part I found out how important this part was.

Sun Yi and Deng Lun did an amazing job, I really got to see their on-screen chemistry which was one of the main reasons I wanted to watch more and more of the serie. I think this is for me one of the best romantic Chinese drama. I am not sure whether I will rewatch it because of the 56 episode but I definetely recommend this serie.

It has been quite a while when I first watched this drama. I recently finished rewatching this drama and I fell in love with it again.

I do not know where to begin this review. The plot line was easy going, simple but very touching. It was not really complicated or so, but what was very interesting was that it was about a strong woman. This time it is not the man who needs to protect his girl, but the girl who protect the man. There were some plotlines which were a bit boring but that was not really a problem. Nevertheless, to get to the main point of this review is their chemistry, Park Bo-Young and Park Hyung-Sik were so cute on screen. I just couldn't stop looking at them and videos about them because they are so cute.

I would definitely recommend this drama to everyone, you will definitely enjoy this drama.

So normally I never write reviews and I also do not watch a lot of Kdramas. But this was exceptional and I felt that I need to share my feelings about this drama with someone. I have never seen a drama like this, I even do not know where to start this review.

Yesterday I have finished this drama and I must say I cried a lot. This drama managed to do a great job in building up a plot storyline. When I first read about this on Netflix, I put it in my watchlist and actually forgot about it. But after some time I decided that I wanted to watch it. The plotline was very interesting because I have never watched anything about a love (forbidden) love story between a North Korean and South Korean. The drama took me on a rollercoast full of emotions of the ML and I really felt as if it happened for real (ofcourse it could never, as if there are could never happen something like "accidentally crashing" in North Korea).

Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin did an amazing job, they had really good chemistry and were made for this role. I just cannot stop thinking about their (on screen) chemistry and about the tears they created for me hahaha. I just loved it!!!!!

As of the SL they were amazing, they were really supportive to the ML, the actors did a great job.
I think this drama gave a good overview of how the people in South Korea think about North Korean people and about their living habits etc etc.

Overall this drama is in one word amazing. I definitely recommend this to all of you, it will give you a fresh view of the typically standard dramas nowadays.
