I’m currently bawling my eyes out, that was the most beautiful, heartwarming kdrama that I’ve watched in my life. Although I wasn’t alive in 1988, nor was I born in South Korea, Reply 1988 does an excellent job making the audience feel nostalgic and it shows how important friendship is. It also portrays the importance of family so perfectly and I laughed & cried every single episode. I’ve noticed that other people writing reviews have spotted this so I’ll cover it as well, but the first few episodes are pretty slow. Of course, the production and story is as interesting as it is later on, but I think it takes around 4 episodes to really grasp the feeling of the drama, understand the characters and relate to them. So, I think this drama is pretty different from others, but that’s what makes it so special. Every character has their own unique story to tell and once you finish watching, you’ll feel so close to the families that it’ll be hard to let go. The ending left me so heartbroken - these characters are so dear to me (especially Dong Ryong and Bora, I love them so much) and there are a lot of important lessons to learn from each episode. I recommend Reply 1988 to anyone, it’s truly a masterpiece and it will definitely stick with you for a long while :)
