I'm like in withdrawal right now. I can't believe it's over. Reply 1997, it was love at first watch. I loved this drama from the beginning and it never disappointed me. I eagerly awaited for episodes to be subbed and I waited impatiently. This last episode made me feel sooo nostalgic. Nostalgic for the 1997 storyline, nostalgic about my life, nostalgic about everything. It made me realize how fast time really flies and how I should cherish every second. I'm glad that Shi Won ended up with Yoon Jae. I really could see a lot of myself in Shi Won. I act exactly like her towards guys I like. I love the girl Tae Woong married, I wish the writers had made their story longer, because I thought that they are a cute couple. And Joon Hee...oooooo... who's your mystery guy... I bet it's Dongwoo :P Man I'm already missing this drama. One of the best endings to a drama.

Aw man, so many emotions in this episode. I liked how the old man's story kinda matched with Yoon Jae's and Tae Woong's story. Tae Woong gave Shi Won up!! What!! I mean YAY!! But the ending... really... come on drama if the end game isn't Yoon Jae and Shi Won, you are going to have a lot of angry angry angry viewers... like me. I honestly can't see how Shi Won would start liking Tae Woong. She didn't like him before, and honestly he's too soft and nice for her. She needs someone tough and a little rough on the edges like Yoon Jae. I'm soooo sooo soo excited for the next episode. I'm totally going to miss the drama like crazy!!

It ended just like that??!! I was intently watching and then it just ended like that!! Come on!! I need more of this show, I missed it while my laptop was broken. I was drama-deprived for a whole week and they do this to me!!
I love Hayato-Miku. I don't want them to break up. I'm fine with Souhei liking Miku, as long as she stays with Hayato. That way Miyuki will end up alone. (I dislike Miyuki a lot.)
The drama tries to humanize Miyuki in this episode, but she annoyed me so much in the past 7 episodes that she's beyond the point of redemption, plus her confession at the end made her whole talk with Miku seem fake. She's pretty (I guess) but if she was bullied so much in Middle School how did she have 2 other boyfriends before Souhei... unless she is thinking about puppy loves from elementary school... which is just pathetic :P
I also hate how Hayato is getting the blame for Miyuki hugging HIM. He didn't hug her, she hugged him. Why does poor Hayato have to get the crap though?
Anyways I'm fully invested in Hayato-Miku now, if they don't end up together... then... I don't know what I'll do. I'll make up an alternate ending where they end up together and erase the other ending from my mind :P

Ahh!! I couldn't stand Panda in this episode at all. What happened to the cool girl who didn't like using other people's money and promised to pay it all back. She acts like a total spoiled princess in this episode. I liked her before, but her image was totally ruined in this episode. Hopefully she was only acting like that because that's what she thought dates were supposed to be like.
But Donghae!! His cute little actions are soooo cute!! Donghae and Won Yi(Choi Won lil' sis) are seriously the only reason I watch this drama right now. Both of them are amazing in this show!! But other than them, it seems almost like a typical Korean rom-com. I can see where this is going already.

I hate stories which have evil fathers in them. Well I don't hate them, I just hate the evil fathers, in this case, evil step-father. I honestly skipped all the parts where he was talking because I can't stand him. I get that he's essential to the plot but did they really have to make him such a huge douchebag? Seriously he sucks. Big Time.
Donghae is the saving grace of this drama. The only reason I keep coming back eagerly every week is because of him. It not just that he's really pretty (He is sooooo pretty though). Its that he is a really good actor. I didn't really get to see much of his acting in Skip Beat! But here he is really on par with his acting. He is better than the other two main leads in my opinion, though the girl who plays Panda is really good as well. The guy who plays Choi Won though, needs to show more expression other than that worried/angry look he always has.
I LOVE Choi Won's little sister sooo sooo much!!! She makes me laugh sooo hard. I want more characters like her in my dramas.

I love this drama... so much. I wait in anticipation every week for the next two episodes to be subbed and released. I'm so jealous of everyone who can understand Korean right now. I really liked these last two episodes. It continued to show the pains of unrequited love and it realistically showed how people actually deal with it. I love Yoon Jae so much and I feel his pain, however I feel that he kinda had it coming to him. He never ever gave indication to Shi Won that he liked her apart from that kiss which they brushed off as nothing big. But after the kiss they went back to being friend/enemies. Yoon Jae... you should have shown more love towards Shi Won. That's probably why Shi Won is dating his brother Tae Woong, because he gives her love. However I still find it creepy that Tae Woong likes her. There's something off about their relationship, they can't communicate properly like regular couples do. Its kind of awkward when they are together. I feel that this is a big hint that its Yoon Jae that Shi Won ends up with, because the atmosphere between Yoon Jae and Shi Won is more natural. I really hope it is Yoon Jae that Shi Won ends up with.
I also really loved the story of the parent's that was included in here. It was really cute and adorable and I'm sitting here smiling just thinking about it.
Drama you are killing me with the suspense. Just tell me already.

So PanDa has a lot of pride... too much at times. I feel that her reaction to what Won Il said was a bit ridiculous. But if that's what makes Seung Ji and PanDa stay together then, I guess I'm ok with it :D But I feel as if she's going to have another ridiculous reaction to what was revealed at the end of this episode. But SUENG JI WHY ARE YOU SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!! I feel that even if this drama ends up going down the drain I'd still tune into it because of him. Everytime he's on screen I end up laughing and smiling at all the cute things he does. In this episode I especially loved when he popped a gun at Won Il. So CUTE!! When Seung Ji and his Grandpa are together it is the cutest!! I love his interactions with his grandpa.
The only thing I don't like in this drama is how PanDa will sell herself short, because she needs money. I mean I get that she needs money, but just because Won Il is your friend, it doesn't mean that you can just take what you want from him. That's why I like how PanDa and Seung Ji have these contracts, it makes more sense. Oh I also don't like how spoiled Won Il is. He expects to win over PanDa by giving her expensive gifts. Overall, cute episode. Again I have to say that this is going to be a drama where I'll most likely tune into so I can fangirl. Otherwise the story isn't all that exceptional.

I've bounced back from last week fangirl mode into my thinking mode. Of course I still squeeled and fangirled whenever Donghae smiled or did something cute :P But I'm a little confused right now. Does Seung Ji like Panda? It seems like it, but the drama doesn't seem to do an effective job in showing how and when he started liking her. Also the flashback confused me. Did Seung Ji, Panda, and Choi Il know each other when they were young? And why drama did you have to throw in the I lost my memory cliche?
Other than those things, this drama continues to be cute!! I absolutely love the chemistry between Panda and Seung Gi. I don't want Panda to be with Choi Il at all. I mean Choi Il is one fine man, but I don't like his character that much. He's too obsessive. On the other hand though, his sister is absolutely freaking amazingly awesome!! I love Choi Il's sister so much!! I hope she gets more screen time. If Panda and Seung Ji don't end up together I would totally ship, Choi Il's sister and Seung Ji.
Oooo the ending!! Oooo drama!! I hope Panda at least listens to Seung Ji and doesn't just go crying off to Choi Il. I hope she doesn't turn into one of those characters who leads a boy on just because she wants money from him. IDK but from the previews it looks like she may do that. Let's hope not.

No I won't stand this. I do not like Yoon Jae's older brother liking Shi Won. I like Yoon Jae's older brother, but liking a girl that much younger than you, and former student of yours as well, just seems plain wrong to me. I also am not a fan of huge age gap relationships as well. But I may also be really against it because I REALLY REALLLY REALLY want Yoon Jae and Shi Won to be together. I mean HE BOUGHT A DOG THAT LOOKS LIKE HIM FOR HER!! How cute is that!!! Looking at the 2012 scenes, I can't really tell. Both of them do things for her, but Shi Won and Yoon Jae have a little scruffle which is too cute! ARGH! I wish we could have heard what Tae Woong called Shi Won! But if it ends up with Tae Woong and Yoon Jae being together, well... let's just say I might turn into Shi Won's mom and have a talk with the producers and writers of this show :P
But these two episodes were really good otherwise. I really love how this drama really depicts school life and how hard it really is to achieve your dreams, but how anyone can do what they want to do as long as they work hard for it. It also shows the pureness and raw feeling of first loves, unrequited loves, and love in general. I love the feeling that I get from watching this drama. I honestly think I'm a part of this world when I'm watching this drama. I love it so much!!

This is an awesome episode!! Hayato and Miku are finally together!!! There's only 3 episodes left, please tell me nothing major can happen in 3 episodes and they stay together!! PLEASE LET THEM STAY TOGHETER!! They are too cute together!!
Souhei figures out that he likes Miku also... well its kinda too late for that man. She strongly hinted to you that she liked you before, but you always ran back to your girlfriend, that you only liked probably out of pity anyways. You had your chance, get over Miku and move on with Miyuki or better yet drop Miyuki. Thinking about it now, he probably started hanging out with Miyuki in the first place out of pity, and then when he was depressed, that when she caught him in her trap and took his soul.. LOL JK, but when someone is depressed, they tend to like the first person who helps them out and makes them smile.
I love how in Japan, actually in Asia in general, every little thing is a big step. Saying each other's first names, holding hands, first kiss. Its so sweet!!
The PPREVIEW!! WHAT NO!! Don't you dare Miyuki, don't you dare ruin Hayato's and Miku's relationship. I will hate you forever if you do that.

Donghae is too cute in this drama!! This episode was full of funny moments. My favorite character apart from the main ones has to be Choi Il's sister. She is just too funny, she actually reminds me a little bit of me. I find her to be adorably hilarious. OMG when Sueng Ji (Donghae) got drunk he was soo cute!! I was laughing and aaawing at the same time! Can I just say even though she hasn't done much yet, I love Panda's character. She seems so cute and she seems like a ball of fun. I loved her conversation with Choi Il. And Choi Il, the man is fine! But I find it really unbelievable that a guy like him hasn't dated or kissed anyone ever. This drama is a perfect fluffy drama with lots of pretty. It's the type of drama that I don't really watch for the plot, but just to fangirl over the pretty. But I love it!!

This has got to be the cutest start to a drama ever!! Or maybe I'm just biased because of Donghae :P But Donghae aside, I really really liked this episode. Even though it is a light cutesy fluffy drama, I like the cute and fluffy (and the pretty). I found the story to be pretty interesting. Ok now I'm going to have to fangirl for a bit here. But Donghae was soo cute!! Even though he isn't my bias in Super Junior, I'm falling in love with him (sorry Eunhyuk). But he is a really good actor. He doesn't overact or underact. I watched Skip Beat with him in it and this character is like a total opposite from that character and he makes me believe it. And the other male lead, I watched him in INR and I loved him, and I'm so glad to be finally watching another drama with him in it. The main female is also really cute and I love her character. So far so great. But Channel A has had a tendency to have dramas with really great beginnings and than have the drama just fall flat in the middle. Hopefully this drama doesn't end up like that. Even if it does I may just endure it for Donghae.

I'm totally getting 2nd lead syndrome. If Souhei meant to be the main and Hayato the 2nd lead, then I'm doomed. Hopefully this drama will keep making us guess who Miku is going to end up with, but my vote right now if for Hayato. He's soooo cute!!!! I didn't like him at first because he seemed like a player, but after he opened up and the different sides of him were shown, I've totally fallen for him.
Souhei, I liked him at first, but now I'm not sure exactly what to feel. He's a sweet guy, but he seems kinda close-minded and oblivious to what's going around him. He still seems to think everything and everyone is the same since Middle School.
Miyuki as always is annoying, it was Kou's birthday and yet she was still being selfish because of her insecurities. Get over yourself, you have a cute boyfriend who obviously is dedicated to you. Don't ruin other people's happiness.
THE ENDING!! THE PREVIEW!!!! OMG!!! I totally wish it was next week already!! The preview for the next episode seemed AWESOME!!!

This drama is so refreshing. Every time I watch it I feel so good inside and I feel happy. Its a great drama with a great concept. The concept may be simple but it draws you in. This drama has made me wish I was a kid living in Busan in 1997. Their lives seemed like so much fun, sure they had lots of work, but they were great friends. And plus unlike today, they actually had to talk face to face, because they didn't have the technology we do today, which makes their bond so much stronger. But I love the friendship in this drama, reminds me of my friendship with my best friends.
Overall this episode was really cute. This drama throws in a bunch of life lessons each episode, which gives it sort of a sitcom feeling. I love the way Yoon Jae describes how he fell in love with Shi Won. I love Shi Won's character, she like all the drama girls stuffed into one girl. She's tough, brave, pretty and daring. But at the same time she acts stupid, cries a lot, and whines a lot. But she makes it work. I love her tantrum when her dad rips her H.O.T. raincoat. I was laughing so hard! The dad and mom's relationship is so sweet, I love the mom in the hospital, calling the writer girl up. Aww, the engaged couple is too cute!! But Shi Won is married, oooo TELL ME!!! I swear if she doesn't end up with Yoon Jae, its going to ruin the whole drama for me.

I'm just not feeling this drama. I know this isn't a serious drama so I try to turn my brain off while watching it, however it just bores me then. I basically watched this episode while playing games on my iPod. I really love the concept. I think that with the right writers and PDs this concept could be fantastic, but the story while entertaining at times falls flat many times during the drama. I especially find the main female's acting bothersome. Her acting got on my nerves in I Need Romance and it gets on my nerves here. She seems to act the same way in all her roles. The cutesy girl, who does a bunch of aegyeo faces and is so pure. I like that she can kick ass but why can't she show that when it comes to the guy she likes.
I'll stick around because I really like the secondary characters but the main characters get on my nerves. Actually I like the male lead's acting a lot, but I don't like his character. I also really want to know why Se Ra is in this story. But on another note, I really enjoyed the abs in this episode ;)
