Nostalgia for an Imperfect Time

*Reply 1988* illustrates that nostalgia doesn't require rose-tinted glasses. Everyone has experienced various ups and downs in their lives, particularly in their youth. But there's something to the concept of found family and the hurt and love that is born out of that. This show is a reminder that the people in our lives matter more than the things we accumulate, or the money we make, or the places we go. A life is meaningful when we love and are loved in return. Friend love, family love, romantic love. Love for a time and place that seemed infinite but passed all too quickly.

> I regret being unable to say my final farewell to that place where we won't be able to gather like that again.
> To the things that are already gone. To a time that has already passed. I want to say a belated farewell.
> Goodbye, my youth.
> Goodbye, Ssangmun.
> A time so warm and pure, that's why we miss that time so badly.
> Can you hear me? If you can hear me, reply. My 1988, the days of my youth.
