yesterday when i finished to see reply 1988 i felt a hole in my heart.so many time ago i experimented that feel.so i realized that this is the best drama i ever seen.i have seen many many dramas.
Why Reply 1988 is the best? 1. Unique and memorable OSTs 2. Unique and memorable plots. 3. Unique and memorable Loveline. 4. Very realistic ending. 5. The cast and characters. 6. The most CLEVER show everr, (thanks for this PD and writers) probably the only drama where dots,dolls,TV commercials,BGM etc are important. 7. THE MOST HEARTWARMING FAMILY STORIES EVER SHOWN. 👏👏❤❤❤
I never questioned the fact that Choi Taek is the husband. It made me realized how perfect timing affects our daily lives. Once you lose it, it’s gone forever. Choi Taek will always be that one and only person that is so compatible to Deok Sun. From the very beginning, I already felt that they need each other more than everything. I’m glad that this drama taught us so many lessons in life choices, family, friendship and love. Something that I would treasure forever. Reply 1988, I will always be back for you.
I was rooting for Jung Hwan and after episode 18 (the confession scene), I thought I wouldn't be able to move on. However, when I reached the end, I was surprisingly okay with Choi Taek and Deok Sun ending up together and even felt happy for them. Choi Taek was way more braver than Jung Hwan. He didn't hesitate to show how much he liked Deok Sun and for that, he deserved her love more. That's why it's important that in love, you just go for it without hesitations. Reply 1988 truly is beautiful. ❤️
The love triangle between Deok Sun, Jung Hwan and Choi Taek is the best out there. It's because of how beautifully love triange was made. They made us root for Jung Hwan-in those whole 18 episodes, we giggle, laugh, and smile with Jung Hwan's antics for Deok Sun. And it made us fall in love with Jung Hwan's character not just of how he love Deok Sun but also how he is a person, a child/son, a lover and a friend. But yes, surprisingly, even though we are all heartbroken of what happened, we are surprisingly satisified with Choi Taek with Deok Sun. It make us realize how important the timing, and how impotant mustering that courage and taking risk to confess our feelings. And both of them definitely deserves Deok Sun. And, I think that is only possible because of the actors who played the role. We won't be satisfied with choi Taek if it isn't Bogum, and ofc we won't be devastated and heartbroken if it isn't Ryu jun Yeol
To be honest, I have no idea at first who Park Bo Gum is. I fell in love with bogummy because of his role in Reply 1988. I like Jung Hwan but the way Taek handle things? It’s way too mature than any of the guys in the drama and I have a thing for mature, understanding, loving and direct guys. So I am rooting for Taek since episode 3.
@@naiaaaa. she cried because she realized that she didn't care enough about her family till the day she gonna get married. Can't even bought her dad the right size of shoes.
I read your comment before finishing the show and I thought he was gonna die. It got worse when his nose started bleeding. I was holding my breath until the last moment lol I would have bawled my eyes out if he died sinced Mr Dong IL is my favorite parent.
This song added so much sadness to it after the heartbreaking news of singer Park Boram’s sudden passing last night, April 11, 2024. My Reply 1988 heart is aching. Rest in peace, Park Boram. 😭💔
Edited: June 26, 2021 anyone? The bittersweet statement of Deok Sun will linger for a long, long time: "Time will always flow. Everything will pass by. That might be why youth is beautiful. It shines, blindingly bright, for just an instant. But you can never go back to it." This drama will always have a special place in my heart.
I haven't seen the reply series. I thought this drama will be boring cause it took the 1988 era, but everything has changed when i watched this drama. This drama made me cry and laugh at the same time, the stories about the families,about the friendships,about the school,about the neighborhood, and also about their love stories are so amazing ! Im in love with this drama ♡
Reply 1988 is the best drama i have ever seen. I try to forget it because it pains me how a beautiful should end. :( i miss all the beautiful relationships shown and all the beautiful lessons. It sure did make it hard for me to watch another drama because it feels nothing compares with it. I try watching reply 1997 but it lacks the sincerity the closeness of the characters... I dont know... 1988 was just so beautifully made
right? so many people were saying reply 1997 was the best but i personally think reply 1988 is really a whole different level! It's not only the best of the Reply series, it's the best of all dramas ! (ive seen at least haha)
reply 1997 is good but reply 1988 is best. the best when i was a kid im the only girl in my neighborhood. me and my 3 male friends are trouble maker kids.lol.... just the way it looks like on reply '88 and when i was teenage on 1997 (thats why i love reply 1997). i had 3 close best friends. they're all male. we always sticked together. and im married with one of them thats why i really love reply 1997 and 1988 i love their lovely neighborhood. they always support to each other
+Miss Sunshine If I would rank the three installments, 1988 would come first, 1997 second then 1994 as the last. Although I loved them all, I would say that 1988 has a family touch that touched the hearts of many.
Who is here in may 2020 while covid19 make u cant do anything and finally watch reply1988 and became so addicted with this series? And btw, who is always crying while hearing this song? 😭😭😭 or maybe crying on all reply1988 ost.
Even tho i do not understand the lyrics, whenever i listen to this song or any songs from Reply 1988 what i remember are the scenes on which these songs were played. Reply 1988 is by far the best kdrama ive watched.
I can never understand the reasoning of some people on why the ending "sucks" just because the female lead didn't end up with everybody's favorite guy or blaming the writer for giving them false hopes. For me, the "teenage love and the guess-the-who-ends-up-with-who" in this drama was just only a minor but still an important part. Come on, seriously, this is by far one of the best K-Dramas I've seen so far. Watching it like was like going on a meaningful adventure. It will really grow on you but perhaps not on some people who focused the drama on a different perspective. I enjoyed it because I viewed the drama the way how the director intended it to be. I wished it could have been at least 2-3 episodes more but still, it really ended well. Actually, I didn't tear up until the very last scene of the drama when the families started to move away from Ssamundong block. (especially when Sun-woo's mom says goodbye to her ahjumma buddies...I mean, even those 3 ahjummas had already grown on me. _)..... ANyway, thank you TvN for this amazing drama. ^_^
Agreed. Most of my friends who watched it only focus on how the ending went. Using hashtags like #TeamJungpal or #TeamTaek, but I never made any fuss about who Duk Seon end up with. What makes this drama so beautiful and left a gold mark in me was how the family/friendship theme stood out. I cried watching Sun Woo crying because of his mom working without telling him, cried because Ra Mi-ran cried when Jung Hwan left home frequently and more like a "guest" than a children as well as when Jung Bong went to surgery, cried when Sung Dong-il lost his mom. Its all that elements that makes this drama way too good to be criticize by only looking at the love lines. The last scene when Ssangmundong pretty much ruined was so poignant to me, all this time I felt like I belong there, every night I would go to Taek's room to talk anything with the squad and laugh off at everything.
Rough Divide i totally agree with u. this drama made my heart warm and remembered my precious childhood.. perfect cast and sountrack.. the production team really know how to capture the moment.. perfect drama!!!
Rough Divide can't agree more with all of you. reply 1988 was the best drama so far. so realistic down to earth and touched my heart to the very end. beautifully made to capture every single aspects of our lives. it might be set in the 80 era. but we can relate the characters and story in our daily life. i personally thanks to the writer, producers, actors and actresses that make and portrayed the story so beautifully.
Rough Divide. and almost forget. everytime i saw Jung pal hide his crush and lost his chance makes my heart hurts. remind me the story my my life.... sometimes we should hide what our feelings was... once again... very beautiful reply 1988. love..
I think it's because some people can't handle the love story portrayed in the drama. DeokSun and Taek's love story is really ordinary, no exaggerated scenes and emotions but rare in Kdrama world since it is very realistic and logical. People kept expecting this drama to go down the usual lane and its sad that they blame the writer because if you focus on DeokSun, you will really see that it is Taek since the beginning. I'm really glad that I focused on the family stories more.
I tear up mostly when the adults showing their struggle in life. And when relation between bora and her father. I dont really like her but i teared up so much on her wedding day. she regret that she realized that she never put deep attention to her dad than her sister did, like her gift to him never fit but her dad always says convinced her everything is fine. For those who upset bc the couple in the end are hallucinated. Dokseon and taek love actually grow up since their childhood. In the end we saw how little dokseon taking care of little taek and holding hand while sleeping. She always fonds and admires him. She even didn't mind to take responsibility forever for taek and glad of it. There are so many hints that tae is the husband. If we see how dokseon always excited and enthusiast whenever she wants something from taek, and when taek asked her to go out. When their first movie date taek made her upset bc he fell asleep, she still wanted to go out with him. Whenever taek had difficult to do simple thing, dokseon always taking care of him naturally. So Whatever both of them said or did something toward each other seems that already written on their destiny, such as they were left out on the beach, on the football court, dokseon had to accompany taek in china and made him comfortable through his stay. Taek is shy boy but never hesitate to do something for her and confess his feeling. But jungwhan was given chances many times but he never straight forward for his love, he always hesitate. He should have read dokseon attitude in front of him but he never reciprocate his action to her until when he didn't hesitate, he didn't get any chance anymore bc he always missed of all them in purpose. Actually i like both guys, but i am so glad it was taek. I don't really like bora sunwoo love story. Their parts are too many consider them are not main leaders. But when dokseon taek had confess their feeling, their parts aren't not that much
@Wini, I totally agree. The lack point on this drama, the love story of Bora and Sunwoo that I think too much portion, while it should have shown love story of Duk Seon and Taek and Jung Hwan as the main leads. I was hoping they gave us longer parts that shows love story of Duk Seon & Taek, and how Jung Hwan's response to that. That would be a perfect ending, rather than just showing Bora and Sun Woo's wedding.
I am starting this 2019 with this drama. (I know i am late). But, watching this drama is my biggest regret. I think there is a hole in my heart, after reading the comments, i just realized that maybe I wont be able to move on. Seriously, none of us can move on. Goodbye Ssangmundong
Amin Afnan Me too. I just finished watching it, for the first time. I love it more than I expected. I decided to watch it bcs many ppl been hyping over that drama, after watching it, I understand why. Ssangmundong neighborhood has grew in me. Watching it was the best decision made! :”) It's a beautiful series.
@@nurhalizzahchewahab9838 I just finished watching it and although I have always missed my childhood, as I grow older and I try not to think of it. but this drama just made me live through my childhood again. all the moments so vivid and the buddies I rarely contact anymore. growing up sucks. even as a teenager more than 20 years ago, I was never eager to grow up and didn't understand why everyone hated school and wanted to grow up fast.

This song made reply me 1988 one of the most iconic k-drama. It brought back so many good memories of my childhood when we were happy and we didn’t know
every time I hear this song it reminds me of memories of the ssangmundong squad the struggles they've had, the laughter they brought us and everything. It makes me cry just thinking about those times, their precious youth thought me a lot of things and still the drama hits me.
This drama makes me cry 10 times more than romance dramas. Bcs it’s about family and friendship. It’s one of the best drama ever. Most people focused on deok sun’s mistery husband, but the point of the drama is not actually about her love life. It’s about family. What would usually happen if there are 2 daughters in a family, what would happen if one of the parents died, what would happen if both parents busy with their career, what would happen if there are only sons in a family, and mostly how to outcome every family problems back then, especially when it comes to money related problems. And the friendship.. it’s so precious it makes me feel sad bcs i’ve never had those kinda friendship in my life. It’s a beautiful drama, with a really meaningful plot..
I didn't know she sang one of the best ost in a kdrama and one of my favorite. Rest in peace 🕊️ park bo ram you give us one of the best ost a kdrama could ever have.
I keep rewatching this series every time I finished. It makes my heart warm, because of the friendship/family stories. No villain needed, everyone gets their own portion of story, and not centered on the love story only. I feel like i’m part of the gang, hangout every night in Taek’s room, laughing, singing, or simply eating ramen together.
i never thought i will like reply 1988,cause i never knew the casts but those casts really fits their character.the story the casts the song its all perfect.
Who else is rewatching this in 2022? I watch this every year during the gloomy phase of my life. I first watched this in 2020 during the lockdown. This drama has kept me sane! Thankful for everyone involved in this series. This is such a masterpiece.
The thing about this drama is that it gives you a glimpse of a very private intimate lives of ordinary people in an ordinary setting in a time long bygone. And they give you the warmest welcome to be a part of it. To witness their story of friendship, family and love. It pulls you in. It doesnt feel like you were watching a drama. It feels like youre also a part of them. You get attuned to their feelings, you cheer for them and cry with them. And its such a privilege. Thank you reply 1988 my heart hurts a little but in a good kind.
Rip Park Boram. Thank you so much for adding such emotion to the drama with your angelic voice. You'll always be remembered with love and respect everytime anyone talks about Reply 1988.
Here after thr sudden death news of park bo ram...rip angel...you will forever be missed. Thankyou for giving us a chance to vibe and listen to your beautiful voice. Thankyou for being a singer. I hope in your next life too you will continue making people your fan🕊🤍
when she mentions "chingu" on the first line and lalala on the last part can't help but ugly cry.. such beautiful music to remember our childhood.. and the reply 1988 series. 🎶😍
I loved her songs...Started watching her since 2016...Msy her soul rest in peace! She was such a talented and strong woman! I send my deepest condolences to her family and friends after suffering such a tragic loss! Another precious soul taken from us too early...
after i saw reply 1988 it made me crazy. worrying about why they have to leave the neighborhood and everything. its a happy ending but at the same time its a sad ending because as they became adult they grew apart. :((( and come to think of it the ahjumas became very old as time passes
That fact that we can all relate to this series. It reminds us our childhood, teenage and slowly became mature and having different lives. It so nostalgic and sad 😢
I have never loved a k drama as much as I have loved Reply 1988. I get goosebumps everytime I listen to the osts. My heart flutters every time I watch the scenes. I cried, I laughed. I have never felt so much. This k drama is my comfort, I feel like it's a home to me, it's a family to me. Hats off to all the people who made this. I will always love you 'Reply 1988'.
I just finished the series last night and I can't stop crying while listening to this. I could still remember them when I'm asleep and dream about it 😭😭😭😭😭
This was all ive been thinking. DS and TK were meant to end up together. It was evident from the start. However, I felt sad for Jung Hwan because I just put myself in his situation. And I do think that he represents the regrets and what ifs that we had in life. Im not trying decipher the metaphors made by the writers since im not Korean and knows nothing much about their culture, so my stand point is based on the psychological perspective of human behavior that we all understand towards emotions. For me, i look at him as the regrets that I had in life, i cried for him. I was with him through his silence (he doesnt talk much), his unspoken love, his selflessness and his realization on what makes fate and timing. Maybe they lacked timing. All they need was timing. He had hesitations and inhibitions which ruined his chances. We all have these feelings. Watching the series, is like talking to a old friend over dinner reminiscing the past and trying to figure the what ifs. These are the regrets and what ifs that we all have in life. At one point, you felt like trying to rewind Jung Hwan' life just to justify our own shortcomings in life, right? However, Jung Hwan still represents that part of us who stood up from those failures, reassemble himself and turns out to be a successful one.
Exactly. I cried a lot because He was so reluctant. But what pained more, is that other people is puting a blame to his actions. I know He regrets it a lot, and he does not have a choice but to accept that destiny. I can relate and cried with him because, he represents a regret that would haunt you from nowhere.
Wow,, what a great comment .. GOOD JOB. Both team should read and understand this please.. actually i am teamjunghwan. But, what we can learn from the ending is what you said but the point from me is about the Destiny and the Timing. And i love Junghwan because i love the character, he is unpredictable and sweet, uwu.
This is the BEST Comment on YT, regarding this husband conflict. I was rooting for both the guys, knowing that my heart is bound to break for the one losing out on DS. But in the end, I was rooting for Taek as he was resilient and expressed his feelings. Life is too Short for regrets. 💔💔💔 But my heart is overjoyed that DS &JH are dating in real life!! It makes up for the heartache I felt for him in the end! 🤩🤩👌👌👌👌
I’ll never ever forget reply 1988 :( it was the most comforting drama I’ve ever watched. I honestly wish i can watch it again and again without knowing what happens next. Although each episode is almost 2 hours and theres 20 episodes i finished it in 3-4 days. I honestly didn’t expect much from it as i thought that I wouldn’t like it as much since its an old style drama. Little did i know it was gonna be my favorite and i cry everytime I remember it or hear the osts 😞 their story was soo wonderful. I loved every aspect of this drama. The romance was adorable heartbreaking for other but I personally liked choi taek more since the beginning so i didn’t mind the ending. I actually loved the ending and really wanted to see choi taek’s and deoksun’s wedding but it was still beautiful anyway. I liked the subtle hints and how much fun it was to try to guess who was the husband. i liked the relationship between everyone in the neighborhood and how much they did for each other. I love how after miran’s family got rich they still stayed the humble and fun people they were and didnt let the money get to them. I loved how they talked about family problems. I especially relate heavily to bora and her fathers relationship so i really liked it. I honestly can write a whole essay about this drama i love everything about. My only regret was watching it too fast and also not being able to watch it earlier !
I cant move on in this movie i cried too much even if i finish to watch it touch my heart deeply.i miss my youth.it talks about family.father .mother daughter and son.
Certainly one of the most emotional and beautiful tv dramas ever. This music is my favorit from the OST, but the sound director did great job in using those musics during the scenes in a perfect way. This music, for example, plays in the first snowfall and it is sooo perfect.
To be honest I was kinda sad because she didn’t ended up with junghwan but thought of it over and over again and it was actually realistic. Junghwan always hesitant for his actions and taek was always sure but he also hesitated if he should pick friendship or love. At first, he picked friendship and gave junghwan a chance but junghwan hesitated again that’s why he lost his chance. I was sad, yes, but this is the most realistic ending I’ve seen.
Honestly the only kdrama i rewatched and Honestly im so much drowned in this ost like u can re call where when qas it played . Those were really golden times ssamundong will be remembered always
this song makes me really cry, you know that one day you and your close friend will walk in different parts someday,and today will become just a part of a memory,,,,this drama too though its a happy ending it makes me cry ,,,,that everything will become just a memory ,,the best drama ever,..
