I just finished the first two episodes. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. While the acting is...questionable at times the writing isn't half bad.

@TeleriFernchNyfain We'll have to agree to disagree. I thought it was rushed. I didn't see any obvious indication that Deok Sun might like Taek before episode 18. Giving Taek a piggyback ride, giving him a present and choosing his gloves doesn't tell me anything at all. She could have chosen Taek's gloves randomly. She gave him a piggyback ride because he got hurt. She also gave Jung Hwan a present too. None of those hints had meaning until the writer gave them meaning. It's a stretch to say those were obvious signs that she liked Taek romantically. I'm not aware of all hints so maybe there are stronger ones in the show that I missed. Either way, I think the writer and director really shot themselves in the foot by building Taek and Deok Sun's romance on metaphors and hints alone.

@TeleriFernchNyfain I never read the fan theories for Reply 1994 or Reply 1988 when I was actively watching. I went to look at Answer me 1988's fan theories after the show was over. They were an interesting read. I think if the writer had shown Deok Sun developing feelings for Taek on-screen (rather than giving us hints) instead off-screen it would have been easier to swallow. The romantic developments in episode 19 just came across as rushed to me and hard to believe. Were there any obvious hints that Deok Sun liked Taek romantically before episode 18? Because I didn't notice any o.O Too much happened off-screen IMO.

WhiteLilly- Lots of believe they changed it at the last minute. It doesn't mean we didn't watch. We just have a different perspective than you. I'm fine with Taek being the husband. I'm just surprised that he is.

@TeleriFernchNyfain. Interesting I thought it was obvious who the husband was in 1994. I didn't know they original planned for Chilbongie to be the husband. Na Jung's feelings never wavered from Trash. With Reply 1988 it was more of a mystery. We didn't know how Deok Sun felt.

I can't believe Taek is the husband. I'm still in denial. lol I'm convinced that the writer changed it at the last minute.

That would be hilarious and completely unexpected. I would have to give the writers props if they had the guts to go there.

She reminds me of Kim Ha-Neul

Perfect youth drama. It has comedy, friendship, family, romance and heart break. This one is not as stressful to watch as Answer me 1988 and Answer me 1994. They make it obvious who the husband is.

As draggy as this season was, I thought it was the funniest out of the three and had the most memorable characters in the franchise. The only thing I regret is watching this when it was still airing. The fan wars really took the enjoyment out of watching this drama. :/ I think I would have liked it more if I had watched it at another time.

She reminds me of Suzy in Cheese in the Trap. They look like they could be sisters.

The first two episodes were great. Park Hae Jin is so good at playing creepy. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Does anybody else not really care who Deok Sun ends up with?

Here for it tbh. That would be a hilarious twist.

Great actress. Deserves more recognition (and lead roles!) in Korea.

This was a really great drama. It has the humor, the cuteness and it also manages to pulls at your heartstrings. Whatever this writer pens in the future, I'll check out.

Season 2 please! This show was really cute.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to give it another try :)

Does this drama improve? I watched the first 2 episodes and didn't like it. The fighting with Deok Sun and Bora got annoying real quick. The humor also seems off and I always considered that the strongest point of the Answer Me franchise. Did anybody else start off not liking this Answer me 1988 and grow to love it? If the sisters don't mellow out a bit I don't know if I want to continue watching. :/

He's a great actor. I miss seeing him in dramas.
