I'm still in the post Reply 1988 aka Taek, so I might as well write a review about this drama that I've been trying to sell to my other friends to watch. I really really enjoyed the entire story, and really loved that each episodes was based on a theme. Through this set up, the characters and story was able to unravel beautifully. There is also a lot of heart to the story, and what I really enjoyed was that it was more than just a romance/love triangle. The drama explored important issues about family, growing up and life in general. Not every episode was 10/10 because there were a few that felt draggy. Those episode really did make the 1 1/2 hour felt longer than it already was! The cast absolutely fitted the character they played! I felt so connected to the characters that the actors/actress portrayed. Talking about characters, seriously guys if you don't fall in love with Taek well I don't know what's wrong with you or maybe it's just me. When he smiles.... I'm a goner. He is just beautiful! Okay, on a more serious note I loved that we saw each character grow in front of our eyes. I think that's the beauty of the Reply series, the fact that we are able to see people grow up and face issues that people their age still face today. It's a different era but I always find it interesting to see that the issues the previous generations faced remains prevalent today. For example there was an episode about dreams which made me really reflect on my life and my own dreams and ambition. It takes a special drama to make you think like that. The music was completely nostalgic and I wasn't even brought up in Korea during that period. I can only wonder how those that did grow up during that time would feel watching this drama. It would definitely bring out many forgotten memories of their youth! I won't watch the entire thing again, but there are a few episodes that really touched me so I will watch those again! I recommend this drama for people who want to watch a drama that want to revisit their youth, even if their still in it, just past it or are way past it. It's a very sentimental drama with a story that makes your feels go all over the place, and endearing characters that make you fall in love with them.
