Réponds-moi 1988

I've never liked rewatching, but now I've just finished rewatching it and enjoying it, maybe even more than the first time, I will certainly re-watch it because I miss the characters so much. In the meantime I've watched Reply 1994 and 1997 which were very good but not as good as the 1988 Maybe it's one of the very best TV series of all time

Actually, I am not South Korean, even I was not born in 1988. But this drama makes me feel deeply in the same way. I love them all forever.

This series made me reminisce my youth days. I can relate so much too about family, neighbors, friendship, and even the culture because korean and filipinos has so much alike when it comes to culture. It made me realize that youth days with friends are the best day of our life although we didn't know it before.

Family. Friendship. Love. Youth.

One the best kdramas I've watched. Most scenes have touched my soul. Made me miss my family and friends back in the Philippines.

Big salute to the screenwriter, Lee Weo-Jeong and the director, Shin Won-ho! The actors played their parts brilliantly! I love Deok-Sun(Hyeri) and Taek(Park Bo-gum) the most. Colourful characters! Thank you all for making me laugh, cry, laugh, cry and ruminate on life.

10/10 for me. 👌💞👌

Funny but with depth. 💖

Initially, I would have started this review with "first of all"... but it would have been inconsistent with the tens of "first of all" I'd started with. Why? Because this Korean drama is amazingly accurate in depicting the '85-90's period and idiosyncrasies!... And this appreciation comes from a non-Korean, non-Asian, Hollywood movie-goer, >30's person. Nevertheless, I have never seen a more realistic depiction of common people and their struggles throughout that particular period. I know what I'm talking about because I've experienced it in my neighbourhood and with my family. Because of this and others more, I felt compelled to add my unacquainted review to IMDb. Bottom line... if you really want to see some great acting (Kudos to the actors!!!) and get an amazing feel of the 85-90's (and this is coming from a non-American, non-Western point of view), I highly recommend this series!
