I adored this movie. It was so bittersweet. Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time...as the one review of this movie has said. It brought many tears. I think it's better than an 8.0 though.
I have more to say about this drama. It is a little over rated here on mydramalist, but it is still good. I have one major proclamation. I love Lieutenant Paeng. How could anyone not love that man, that character? If only more people in their jobs were as understanding, forgiving and caring as Lieutenant Paeng it would be a wonderful world.
My first drama and I still love it. JanDi charmed the heart out of me. Haters get over yourself. It is not meant to be realistic, it's a fairy tale of sorts. I thoroughly love this drama and always will. Not ashamed to say so.
I have to put it on hold. I changed jobs and then someone got me into reading Shogun. I do fully intend to return to it. It is supposed to be excellent. I was sad I had to stop it. Sorry.
If you are 16 to 29 Reply 1997 may, MAY be your favorite. Reply 1997 did nothing for me it was like watching Friends and I never liked Friends. This is for those that love nostalgia, family, friends, long for a bygone era. I'm 46. I was 17 in 1988. This hit home even though I lived in America and not South Korea. This was a beautiful drama. PERFECT in every conceivable way. The greatest bit of viewing entertainment I have ever seen in my life the world over. This will resonate in my heart forever. I even imported it on DVD.
I honestly don't know how to answer. It was an appropriate ending. I think you won't be sad, it may not be everything you hope for, but big epic Sageuks it is expected to not end perfectly across the board. There will be some slight sadness and wish for something different, but I do not think you will be disappointed. You really should watch it. It is exhilarating. Wonderful!
I watched 1997 one first and then I was hesitant to watch the others. I just felt that I won't like the actors…
I didn't care much for 97. 94 you can feel the shift toward 88. It was like in-between. It just hadn't found the full sentimental dynamic yet. It has some great moments though. 88 is simply perfection COMPLETE perfection.
This story has made me laugh so many times and made me shed copious tears. This will make you value your friends…
It's my all time favorite...over any drama I have watched, over anything I've seen in American TV and even in the theater! It is the greatest experience in my viewing lifetime!
First of all, no other drama made me cry a river at every episode. This drama is gold. I really love how this…
Amen. The whole 'guess the husband' thing was so incredibly inconsequential. I could care less. This drama towers over everything else. The heart, love, family, friends, the perfect acting, perfect dialog, the setting, nostalgia, it had every thing.
Are you asking me how I thought about the ending it so you want me to tell you about the ending? If it is the first, I was completely satisfied with the ending.
