A show that makes you miss a life you never lived
If I had to recommend just one drama, it would be Reply 198 without a second thought. Honestly its probably one of the best, if not the best drama I've ever seen. Maybe even one the best slice of life shows I've ever seen.
It has everything attached to it: love, friendship, family and all the deep, complicated emotions that come with them. What makes it truly special is the way it captures the sense of time passing. the feeling of growing up & moments slipping away without you even realizing they're gone.
Bro Deok-sun.. She might be one of the most relatable characters I've ever seen. The way she struggles with feeling overlooked, wanting to be loved, making mistakes and just trying her best in general, makes her character feel so real. At some point, you don't just watch her, you start to see yourself in her.
The acting from this cast is genuinely immaculate. Every character feels so real, almost like people you've known your whole life. With fans outside the show even referring to cast members as their characters, rather than their real names at one point. The soundtrack is timeless, full of classics that elevate every scene, but some tracks even being brought back to life because of this show
Its seriously incredibly relatable and grounded into reality. Every plotline feels so meaningful, and every episode leaves you with something to think about. There's so many life lessons interlaced into it, that I found myself reflecting after most episodes.
This was definitely a show I didn't want to end and that alone should say everything. But like the show itself reminds us, all things do. If you're a sentimental person this show would be perfect for you
