Reply 1997 Review

Watching the drama, I wonder how would it feel like watching it live back in 2012. I wasn't a big Kdrama fan back then, I would just watch whatever I like on KBS or SBS channel and that was it. I do know that this drama was such a big hit and everyone is talking about it.

I have watch some clips here and there but I don't know the story apart from 1997 top stories. I'm a big Kpop fan so I naturally know about the history of how Kpop first started. Sech Kies is now reunited (minus one member) so I feel like watching this drama to reminisce.

Busan accent is the best! I really need to study more on Korean geography, I think it's the Gyeongsang do dialect? Anyway, if I'm talking to my dogs, it sound weird now because I mixed with some satoori. Yup, I do speak Korean to my dogs. haha

Is the reply series all about the husband search? I though this one was sort of weak. I didn't really have to wait till the last episode to find out who was the husband. I thought 1988 was quite interesting one. I have yet to see 1994 but I already know who is the husband so I might just watch to see Sung Dong Il and Lee Il Hwa. 

If I were to put myself in this drama, I would probably be Yoo Jung, not the fact I'm brazen with guys but the fact I can't pick a side. But I would probably like H.O.T better because I'm quite loyal like ShiWon. 

The Yoon Brothers story is very fantasy like. I can't help but to roll my eyes whenever their achievements are mention. Especially the older one. Actually I can't believe that he would like ShiWon at all. It's kind of wrong is so much level. The fact he is her sister former boyfriend, her teacher and the age difference is just too much..

I'm glad that TaeWoong had a good relationship in the end though. 

It definitely feels different to watch it today because I already know what would happen and the hype isn't there anymore but I felt like time spent on watching the drama is worth it. It was fun to see the family relationship and the close friendship is endearing. 

I love all the meta jokes and like how I know most jokes. I guess that's one of the good thing to watch it now? if I watch back in 2012, perhaps I wouldn't get it.
