Funny and sweet. This is how I describe Reply 1997, it may not be the best one but if you like RomComs, you shouldn’t miss this series. The first episodes didn’t appeal so much to me, I honestly think they’re a bit monotonous at times and I nearly drop it though it gets better in the end. Here is my personally assessment:
Strengths:
? The Cast – I have to say,THE CAST DID A WONDERFUL JOB. The characters’ acting is spot on. They’re lovable, adorable and amusing. All of them are commendable.
? “No, you’re so ugly I’m in shock” - this got to be one of my favorite lines in the series. The writer did a great job in arranging the punch line. Humorous lines, thrown at the right time.
? Though I figured out the “mystery” part early on the series, it didn’t make it any less charming.
Weaknesses:
? I just think it could’ve been shorter, maybe 10 episodes or less. Some of the scenes are redundant (though some are funny).
? The appearances of the characters didn’t compliment the time that have passed. I mean 10 or so years ago how come they still wear and have the same hairstyle and fashion statement. It didn’t have much difference, it’s like they’re still the same as yesterday.
? NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. The story started when they were teenagers, then it ended like they're still teenagers. Maybe the writer wants to be teenager forever lol.
I didn’t give a 10 since nothing is so special about it. Though it is endearing and loveable, I laughed and felt nostalgic but that’s it. I love the cast but that doesn’t make it a 10, I would be biased if I will do that.
