Guide to chasing dramas｜About the youth Korean drama "Please Answer Series"

There are three "Reply Series", namely: "Reply 1997", "Reply 1994" and "Reply 1988". Due to the different times of the story, the focus of the story will be slightly different. "Reply 1997" mainly talks about popular culture and star-chasing memory; "Reply 1994" focuses on the stories between boarders, ordinary people in that era. As for "Please Answer 1988", it focuses on family love.

Another key point of "Please Answer Series" is the "heroine husband quiz contest". Every time at the beginning, the audience has to guess who the heroine will choose in the end. As the story develops, I am often misled (as expected of me). It is also worth mentioning the sound effects. The sound of "baa~" perfectly expresses the helpless feeling of crows flying over and dripping sweat in the comics.

The pioneering work "Reply 1997" set the highest viewing record of cable TV dramas at that time. How can this excitement be missed? Although I don’t know anything about Korea in the 1990s, and I don’t have the experience of being an illegitimate child or sleeping in front of an idol’s house, I can also find resonance in the characters: I’m wholeheartedly devoted to one thing. The way the heroine Shiyuan gets along with her friends makes me sigh: It's really good to have a real friend in life! What's more, she has a group, even better! The characters in the play experience the ups and downs of life, life and death, which reminds me of similar situations in daily life from time to time.

Zheng Eunji: I haven't watched much of the film and television works since then. The only one I've seen is "Trot Lovers". Instead, she sings songs that I find to listen to Seo Inguk: Actually, just looking at his face is not a handsome guy, but it can always be used in dramas His acting skills convince the audience that he is very handsome. For details, see "Remember You", "The 38th Division Mobile Team", "100 Million Stars Falling from the Sky", and "One Day Death Comes to My Door"

To be honest, I don't really like "1994", maybe it's because "1997" was too successful, which made my expectations higher, the theme of basketball and baseball didn't appeal to me, or some of the plots were too protracted, or the gap between urban and rural areas didn't resonate well (always). Hong Kong is not a big place, and even Tuen Mun, which often jokes that you have to ride a bull to get there, is actually not very remote), I think "1994" is not very suitable for my taste.

It is also possible that the screenwriter toyed with me many times during the guessing about my husband, which caused me to express my anger on the whole work (Hello?)

The third series "1988" received rave reviews. I overcame the psychological shadow of "1994" and opened it. The first episode was a teardrop. The family part was written so delicately and realistically that it was always ignored. The second daughter Dek Sun, Cheng Dad and the eldest daughter Paula have the kind of love that can never be expressed (the part of Paula's wedding is so touching), Jung Hwan is both a well-behaved son and a caring daughter, Dad Ze and Mom Sun Woo put their children together The feelings of the first place... Although the guessing of the husband was played by the screenwriter as always, the whole drama looks like spending the youth with several families in Shuangmendong.

Digression: As a Hong Konger, every time I see Koreans' attachment to Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and 1990s, I feel endlessly embarrassed...

Every time I watch it, I will find some new small details and a new feeling of the TV series.

Finally, I put a piece of the Gang of Five in Shuangmendong:
