Reply 1997 is a 2013 Korean drama about a woman reminiscing about her college days. Synopsis[] Nostalgia again takes center stage in the mid-1990s, when K-pop group Seo Taiji and Boys exploded in popularity and everyone was obsessed with the Korean Basketball League. Sung Na Jung Go Ara is a polished woman living in modern-day Seoul with her husband and son. But she remembers back to 1994, the year that her parents Sung Dong Il and Lee Il Hwa moved from the Gyeongsang Province to the big city of Seoul to operate the Shin Chon Boarding House. That year, when she was 20 years old and crazy about the college basketball star Lee Sang Min, was a turning point in her life. Among the other fresh transplants from the countryside living in her parents' boarding house that year would be her future husband. There's Trash Jung Woo, a third-year medical student who has grown up like her older brother; Sam Cheon Po Kim Sung Kyun, a computer engineering major who feels alienated in Seoul; Haitai Son Ho Joon, another computer engineering major who plays video games all the time; Bing Grae Baro, a first-year medical student; and his cousin, Chil Bong Yoo Yeon Seok, a pitcher on the Yonsei University Baseball Team. Also boarding at the house is the dark female student with the foul mouth, Jo Yoon Jin Min Dohee.

The middle child of the Reply franchise also deserves a lot of love. Seoul Rookies Creating a follow-up series from their sleeper hit drama Reply 1997 must have been a daunting task for the now-well-loved duo of Director Shin Won-ho and writer Lee Woo-jung. But it seems like they have taken the challenge seriously and crafted another youth series filled with nostalgia and growing up pains. Although they brought back their a-game in producing realistic 90s set, the main difference of Reply 1994 from the other installments in the franchise is its collegiate setting. Their decision to use the characters’ college years as the introductory background was a smart move for me. It gave more freedom for the writer to explore life experiences not often tackled by other youth dramas set in high school. And so we’ve got characters in their 20s – a phase in our lives when we’re not considered a child anymore but we’re also not yet considered as a real adult. In Reply 1994, we were introduced to a group country bumpkins who become the first and last boarders of the Sinchon Boardinghouse manned by our favorite Reply couple Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa. And yep, it’s the only Reply installment where they used “real” cohabitation as a trope. Generation X The series started in the present timeline with Sung Na-jung Go Ara and Jo Yoon-jin Min Do-hee reminiscing the past by watching Na-jung’s wedding video. Thus, officially kicking off the “who’s-the-husband” guessing game. But of course, before they delve into that, they introduced the “candidates” first by presenting us with their different quirks; quirks that became the starting point of their journey to adulthood. Na-jung, the daughter of a baseball coach, was a die-hard Yonsei Basketball Team supporter. I’m not sure if she’s there to support the sport itself or it’s just really for the hot players I felt attacked while writing this line haha. Jo Yoon-jin Min Do-hee was a big Seo Taiji and Boys fangirl. She seems like a recluse but she just actually prefers the company of her idols. These two lovely young ladies had to “endure” their male dorm mates whose misadventures and antics supplied doses of good laughs throughout the series. Let’s start with the sunbaenim of the group, Trash or Sseureki Jung Woo. He’s not the usual heart-eyes-inducing male lead at least not yet on the first few episodes. Of course, we all now know that it was intentional. They want us to first see him as the older brother figure to Na-jung before draping him with the romantic male lead cape. Next to be introduced was Haitai Son Ho-jun. He was the typical outgoing college guy who wants to make the most out of his time in Seoul. This Suncheon native’s personality seemed to clash with his roommate, the Leslie Cheung of South Gyeongsang Province, Samcheonpo Kim Sung-kyun. The series’ premiere episode ended with these two then-strangers sharing a boardinghouse room in the middle of a cold frightening city. It was the perfect picture to start the story of these young people traversing their way into the real harsh world. I had to wait until Episode 2 to finally meet the rest of the Sincheon Boardinghouse squad. Binggeurae Baro, as his nickname implied, was a kind and smiley medical student. Trash, despite his atypical façade, took this shy boy from Chungcheong under his wing. But who could resist Binggeurae’s fake maknae charm though? I, myself, would have wanted to be a supportive and protective sunbae to him. The last one to be introduced was Chilbong Yoo Yeon-seok, Binggeurae’s cousin who grew up in Seoul and was also a freshman in Yonsei University. Unlike our ordinary country bumpkins, who were still trying to figure out what they wanted to do in life, Chilbong’s future was already settled. He was a sports superstar in the making. Despite his quite huge difference to them, Chilbong still became part of our beloved Sincheon Boardinghouse squad. I must say that the Reply 1994 Gang had the funniest scenes in this franchise. It was as if the Shin-Lee duo dumped all the comedy know-how they’ve learned from their variety show background. They didn’t hold back when it came to giving us hilarious scenes. The actors should also be commended for not caring about looking ugly in camera. They gave their all and dropped all those funny punch lines at the right moment. Of course, it’s not a Reply series without those warmhearted, sometimes heart-wrenching, plot twists. The versatility of Go Ara, Jung Woo, Yoo Yeon-seok, Son Ho-jun, Baro, Kim Sung-kyun, and Min Do-hee was put into tests on scenes where they had to show internal changes to their respective characters. They had to act on point and with few dialogues because that’s how it always has been in a Shin-Lee production. The good news was they all delivered. New Millennium As the story reached its final arc, our characters faced inescapable changes in their lives. It was also at this point where I realized the series has successfully reeled me in and I’ve grown attached to each character. Who would have thought the dog-cat-like banters between Samcheonpo and Yoon-jin would turn into a second couple romance I never thought I needed. Samcheonpo, whose real name in the series turned out to be Kim Sung-kyun haha, was an adoring boyfriend to the frank and sometimes grumpy Yoon-jin. What I like about their story was that they’ve shown us that one decision could change the trajectory of our lives forever. And sometimes, we judge someone based on our existing prejudices and wrong impressions. Speaking of wrong impressions, I’ve got it all wrong with Binggeurae’s story arc. I thought it would go the same route as Kang Joon-hee in Reply 1997. I was already preparing for his heartbreaking confession to Trash but it turned out Binggeurae has a different ending. The series never confirmed if Binggeurae really adores Trash more than a sunbae-hoobae manner but, for me, it was really implied he contemplated on having feelings for Trash. At first, though, giving him a new love interest in the latter part of the series felt like a rush move but I soon realized that Binggeurae or Kim Dong-jun’s arc was intended to be that way. He was the kind of character made to show how hard it was to know our real selves; and that process always took a long time to happen. Just like how Binggeurae took a long time to know what he likes and what he wants in life. Among the Sincheon Boardinghouse squad, I feel like Haitai was underappreciated. He might be the goofiest and most laid back in the group but he has his shining moments in the series. And that, for me, was his friendship with Na-jung. They’ve become solid pals sharpened by their straightforwardness and life mishaps. One of my favorite scenes in this series was when Haitai said Na-jung was a likable person. He said it matter-of-factly and without any romantic notion. That was the moment I realized he was more of Na-jung’s friend rather than Trash’s. I love it how he stood proudly next to Na-jung in that wedding photo. My only soft-rant, though, about his story arc was the lack of screen time about how he and his first love Ae-jung got their second chance. Since I’m already ranting, let’s now go to the “who’s-the-husband” guessing game that always elicited fan wars and rants from the losing side. The individual character arcs of Trash, Na-jung, and Chilbong were interconnected because of the said game. So I couldn’t discuss their character arcs without tackling how they tried to trick us the whole time. Trash or Kim Jae-joon, as I’ve said, was an unconventional male lead. But as the story progresses, we saw that he might look and act silly but he has loyal and caring traits that Na-jung couldn’t help but fall in love with. Na-jung, for her part, grew up from the passionate basketball-loving college freshman to a still passionate yet grounded new adult. She knew what she wants and stays loyal for a long time. Her feelings for Trash didn’t waver at all despite the strong attempts of the latecomer Chilbong. Emphasis on the word latecomer. Because you see, Chilbong was trying to compete with someone who shared a lot of life experiences with Na-jung. That was the main reason I stood by my guess that Trash and Na-jung would end up together. It was hard for Chilbong to infiltrate Na-jung’s heart when Trash occupied pretty much all of its space. They’ve shared the grief of losing someone important to them. They’ve grown up in the same town called Masan. They’ve shared experiences and emotions that Chilbong would never understand. And this’s where it hurts the most. Because just like Na-jung said, Chilbong was an amazing man who deserved to be loved as well. Chilbong was the kind of character one couldn’t help but fall in love with. He’s the lonely prince a lot of us wanted to comfort. I smiled every time he’s with Na-jung and the rest of the squad because I knew how he yearned to have such a warm companion. He found a family in them. Although I believed Trash would be the husband, that didn’t mean my heart wasn’t crushed during his finale scene with Na-jung. I always thought that I wasn’t that attached to Chilbong and that even though I would have wanted him to end up with Na-jung, I’ve already accepted that Trash was so ahead of the race. But I was surprised by my reaction to that Episode 21 hug scene. I cried a lot more like I wailed when Na-jung rejected him for one last time *insert more loud cries*. It felt like all the emotions I’ve been suppressing for Chilbong exploded in one go when Na-jung thanked him for liking her and said that it would always be a beautiful memory for her. It was a sad yet beautiful rejection. At least though, Chilbong wasn’t left to suffer alone as other second leads in K-dramaland. He didn’t end up with Na-jung but he gained friends who stuck with him through thick and thin. A friendship that was bonded inside the Sincheon Boardinghouse. The closing scene for Reply 1994 used the boardinghouse’s closure as a metaphor to show that everyone has moved on. That it served its purpose already and that it was time to start a new era in their lives. A fitting ending for a show that promised us to bring us back in time to our memorable 20s. Maknae’s Verdict Reply 1994 felt like a transition between an experimental theme Reply 1997 and a much more confident and concise storytelling Reply 1988. The Shin-Lee tandem has successfully used the tried-and-tested combination of a nostalgic background and a relatable narrative. Although it was not perfect, one should not ignore the fact that Reply 1994 paved the way to an improved version of this kind of formula as seen with its successors. Reply 1994 was filled with lots of hilarious sequences, ordinary-turned-romantic moments, and touching stories that would make you smile and sometimes give you a good cry. Dongsaeng’s Afterthoughts -I love their OST especially Lim Kim’s Happy Me and Feeling Only You by Jung Woo, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Son Ho-jun! -We have a baby looking Yook Sung-jae here! -Please hear out my ridiculous theory Trash is somewhat a compensation for Reply 1997’s Tae-woong while Reply 1988’s Taek is our compensation for Chilbong. Okay, forget I actually said that. -I’m hoping Jung Woo would have a cameo on Hospital Playlist Season 2 as Neurosurgeon Kim Jae-joon. Dramagenies, please make this crossover happen! -While we’re at it, can we also have a Son Ho-jun cameo, please? -Best platonic relationship? hahaha -Excuse me while I drown myself with this alternate ending [Image credit 1, 2, 3]

Oppa, my siblings, and I agree that Reply 1988 set the bar very high for the Reply series and K dramas in general. So far, it's the only drama that got a 5 from me. It didn't help that when I checked The Fan Girl Verdict's ratings, Reply '88 also had the highest grade among the three shows. But we still looked forward to Reply 1994 because the entire Reply series was highly acclaimed. Oppa also scanned through some episodes and he said Go Ara seemed as funny as Hyeri. We knew better this time. Oppa looked for a copy with no cuts and blurs. And it really helped us better appreciate and understand the show. Story Reply 1994 revolved around the lives of the boarders of the Sinchon Boarding House in Seoul. The newly-opened boarding house was owned by the family of Sung Dong Il and Lee Il Hwa who were natives of Masan. Dong Il was appointed as the coach of the Seoul Twins baseball team. His daughter, Na Jung Go Ara, was a freshman at the Yonsei University. The boarding house welcomed four Yonsei freshmen from different provinces plus an adopted one who was the cousin of another boarder. Apart from them, Trash Jung Woo, a very close family friend of the Sungs, also stayed in the house. The story focused on how these strangers grew close to each other and became family. The GoodExecutionSince this is our second Reply drama, I would say that we're becoming more familiar with the director and writer's style. There's love for doctors and hospitals Sun Woo in '88, Trash and Binggeure Baro here, and Hospital Playlist. There's also the love for baseball Dong Il and Chilbong Yoo Yeon Seok here, Dong Il in Reply 1997, and Prison Playbook. They love sports as shown through references to the Olympics, World Cup, football, and basketball. Just with their favorite themes alone, we already love them. We loved how the show kept the identity of Na Jung's husband a mystery, revealing it only during the finale. Throughout the show, we can see the groom's body, feet, back, or blurred face. And the show kept giving confusing clues on who the real husband was. In the beginning, all five guys were candidates. They all had nicknames either based on their hometown Kim Sung Kyun as Samcheonpo, personality Trash and Chilbong, which means seven shut outs in baseball, or a baseball team Son Ho Jun as Haitai and Binggeure. So although the husband's name was revealed early on as Kim Jae Joon, you won't be able to guess who he was because the guys were all called by their nicknames. The real name of the guys were only revealed when they were already eliminated from the race, when they already had girlfriends whom they all ended up marrying. That was a really brilliant way of adding mystery to the story. I also loved how the sped up years were handled. This drama showed us the painful reality that no matter how close people are, they are bound to go their separate ways either voluntarily or involuntarily. In this case, Haitai had to leave for military service, while Chilbong had to leave for Japan and eventually for the US to pursue his baseball career. Trash was temporarily assigned to Busan and Na Jung worked in Australia for two years. Although the show still breezed through some years as was done in Reply '88, it still gave us glimpses of what happened during those fast forwarded years. This was done quite differently from Reply '88 where some years were totally skipped and we had no idea about what happened during those times. I was very grateful that the adult versions of everyone was featured. This was one thing I sorely missed in Reply '88 where we only saw adult versions of some of the characters. It was great that even Dong Il and Il Hwa made appearances during the present scenes. It provided some sort of closure for me. I also loved the confusing previews they showed at the end of each episode, which threw the viewers off track. An example was the episode for the wedding of Trash's brother. The preview showed Trash's first love attending the wedding then the next scene was a crying Na Jung walking alone. One might conclude that Na Jung felt jealous. However, the full episode would reveal that her tears were totally unrelated to Trash and his first love. She was actually crying because she thought Chilbong was trapped in the Sampoong Department Store that collapsed. I absolutely love shows that do not spoon feed their viewers. And of course, I loved the historical stuff - the department store collapse, the 1997 financial crisis, and the 2002 World Cup. They also had fun facts about the Korean entertainment industry Seo Taiji, Kim Min Jong who was in Vagabond, etc.. It's great that although Reply '94 already had a great story, it still made sure that the show was well executed, making it more interesting for its viewers. Cast and CharactersSimilar to Reply '88, Reply '94 also had a perfect cast. Everyone played their characters really well, that as Oppa said, it might be difficult to dissociate them from their Reply '94 characters. Na Jung was the daughter of the boarding house owners. She's crazy, funny, and ill-tempered. She loved shouting and nagging her friends. She had this weird habit of biting people when she's drunk. She loved basketball and was crazy about Lee Sang Min. And she's madly in love with Trash. Although they practically grew up like siblings, she's crazy for her oppa. Her loyalty to Trash was just so admirable. I can't remember how many times she had to clean up after Trash. Na Jung was a great and dependable friend. She was there when Yoon Jin Min Do Hee was depressed with Seo Taiji's retirement. And she made sure to break the rejected boy's heart honestly but gently. And the best thing about Na Jung was how she fought for her own identity. It would have been more convenient for her to just marry Trash instead of working overseas. But she wanted to be her own person and she refused to be solely dependent on her husband. Atta girl! Go Ara was perfect as Na Jung. She was absolutely funny. She delivered the punchlines really well. And her beautiful huge eyes greatly helped complete her funny look. But just like Deok Sun in Reply '88, you can also see that beyond the funny faces, Na Jung was very pretty. Oppa's so fixated with Go Ara as Na Jung that he's been complaining that she looks so different now. Trash was a close friend of Na Jung's deceased brother. When his friend passed away, Trash vowed to be a son to Dong Il and Il Hwa and a brother to Na Jung. He never left their side. I was totally clueless that they were not related by blood until that was revealed in the second episode. I absolutely loved how Trash valued his extended family. He had special relationships with each of them. I loved how he worried for Il Hwa when they thought she was going through menopause. I loved his thoughtfulness in finding a seal stuffed toy for Na Jung that was similar to what she had when she was young but she gave it to her brother when the latter died. Trash, as his name suggests, lived like trash. He's absolutely gross - survives without baths, wipes his body with a floor mat, rarely changes his clothes, including his underwear and socks, that Na Jung has to strip him naked so his clothes can be washed. If you knew how he lived, you won't probably like him. But the amazing thing about Trash was that despite his flaws, he's actually a cool guy. He's very smart. He's on top of his medical school class. Patients loved him because of his happy personality. Even kids listened to him. You know he'd make a great doctor because he was very compassionate and kind. I loved how he helped a sick mother tell her children that she was terminally ill. Trash was naturally funny too. I loved his funny faces and how he annoyed Na Jung. Oppa said Jung Woo is a good actor and I definitely agree with him. And coming from Oppa who rarely has nice things to say about actors, that is definitely a compliment. Chilbong was the adopted boarder of Sinchon. Unlike the other boarders, he was not a country bumpkin. He was raised in Seoul. He was the cousin of Binggeure, the legit boarder. He's a popular baseball player who's also the starting pitcher of Yonsei's baseball team. He went on to play baseball in Japan then in the US. He was in love with Na Jung and he came up with crazy ways to be closer to her. Although he's extremely popular, Chilbong was actually lonely. His parents were divorced and both of them were busy living separate lives. Chilbong found his family in Sinchon. There, he was treated like all the other kids - no special treatment like how the '88 kids treated Taek except perhaps from Dong Il who was wooing him to join Seoul Twins. Being an athlete, Chilbong was naturally competitive but that didn't stop him from being kind. He was there for his friends. And he was very selfless. But we'll talk about that later. Yoo Yeon Sook was great as Chilbong. He had the body of an athlete. He handled the drama parts well. I just wanted to hug him when he was heartbroken. But he delivered his funny lines perfectly too. Who can forget his hilarious pronunciation of Tous les Jours? Although I was not initially rooting for him, Chilbong definitely grew on me and I found myself on Team Chilbong in the end. There's just something charming about him, especially after knowing that beneath that accomplished athlete was a sad boy. Although his role was not as prominent as the other characters, there were still a number of lovable things about Haitai. I loved that he was a very dependable friend to Na Jung and the other guys. He volunteered to find an original song for Binggeure's Campus Music Festival audition. And while he was probably embarrassed to be seen with Samcheonpo, they always did things together. And the best thing about Haitai was that despite his flashiness, he was really a softy and a romantic deep down who could not get over his first love and the fact that Sook Sook ditched him upon seeing Il Hwa. Son Ho Jun was adorable as cocky yet mushy Haitai. Binngeure was the baby. He seemed weak especially after quitting med school after less than a year, earning him the Puppy nickname from Trash. But I loved how he bounced back. His experience in Seoul turned him into a stronger person. He worked to avoid depending on his parents. And while he dreamt of doing other things, he gave up his dreams in order to make his parents happy. I loved his major transformation when he started dating Die Die, which he subtly but maturely announced to Trash by telling the latter that he will no longer ask him to buy food and he was going to call him Hyung moving forward. How the puppy has grown!This was my second exposure to Baro. I first saw him on Angry Mom, which was shown later than Reply '94. Although he still has that baby face, I'm proud to see how much he's grown and matured from Binggeure to Sang Tae in Angry Mom. I absolutely loved Yoon Jin. Her face was often hidden behind her hair during the first few episodes. She was mostly quiet and aloof. But she was actually very observant. She knew everyone's secrets and she had this nasty habit of revealing these secrets when she's drunk. I especially enjoyed her babbling in episode 8 when she announced that Na Jung liked Trash. And I loved it that during the rare times she talked, she was brutally frank. Although she seemed distant, she was actually a very caring friend too. I was amazed at how she grabbed the bus keys from the driver to force him to wait for Haitai who was still eating at the rest stop on their way back to their provinces. Another reason why Yoon Jin was endearing was the fact that she had a mute mother. That was probably why she mostly kept to herself. It was a secret she kept until Samcheonpo discovered it. And while it's difficult to understand, I'm just amazed at her loyalty to Samcheonpo. Min Do Hee was very effective as Yoon Jin. She was the epitome of a small but terrible girl those eyes were really scary. And I loved her glow up in the 2013 version of Yoon he was annoying, I'm sure we all had fun watching Samcheonpo. Kim Sung Kyun really handled the funny parts well. But he showed us that he can do drama too. I loved how despite his physical flaws, uptightness, and inflexibility, he actually had a good heart. He gave up his planned trip because he was concerned about Yoon Jin's mother who was waiting at the bus stop for a long time. So I guess we can say that he's also a good was definitely nice to see familiar faces here. I loved Dong Il and Il Hwa in Reply '88 and they were just as lovable here in '94. Or maybe even more lovable since they were the only main parents in the cast. Dong Il was his usual funny self, while Il Hwa remained charming. I loved how they treated all of their boarders as their own kids - with love and scolding when needed. They became their boarders' family away from home. One of my most favorite Reply '94 character would be the Sinchon Boarding House. It witnessed all the sad and happy moments of its boarders. If it could talk, it would probably reveal more than a drunk Yoon Jin can. It was a very cozy place. Its mere presence was probably very comforting for everyone. It was really heartbreaking for me when Dong Il and Il Hwa decided to close it down in the end. The Funny ScenesThe first few episodes were extremely funny. There was always at least one scene per episode that would leave me gasping for breath because I was laughing too hard. Who can forget about Samcheonpo's 10-hour journey to reach Sinchon, only to end up in the police station after being found with protest fliers? Or the 40 KFC biscuits that Haitai and Samcheonpo ordered to impress their dates. Such country bumpkins!And how Dong Il peed on the phone booth. Or how Yoon Jin sat beside ahjummas during a Seo Taiji concert. Or how Il Hwa always cooked a feast enough to feed a village. Or how Trash kept on being clumsy with Dong Il during the finale. Or how Na Jung confessed to Trash on April Fool's Day making the latter think she was only joking. Or how nobody guessed that Samcheonpo was Yoon Jin's boyfriend even if they were already wearing couple shirts. And how Dong Il tagged them as the Beauty and the Beast. And how Samcheonpo was always mistaken as Yoon Jin's uncle or professor. Or Chilbong's dinosaur-like pronunciation of Tous les Jours. Or how the guys called the huge discount Na Jung got from renting Chilbong's apartment as a first love discount. While there were also dramatic scenes, Reply '94 made sure I would laugh super loud at least once per episode. FriendshipReply '94 was different from '88 since its focus was more on friendship unlike '88 which also touched on family stuff. I totally loved the Trash-Binggeure bromance. Although it seemed superficial at first, I loved how their friendship deepened. Trash encouraged Binggeure to try out for the Campus Music Festival. Trash was there when Binggeure's mom was hospitalized. Trash helped Binggeure during the med school hiking even if he called him an ahjussi. Trash gave his notes to Binggeure. I loved how Trash was really a sunbae-nim to Binggeure. And how Binggeure showed his loyalty to Trash when he stayed on the groom's side during the wedding. I loved how Reply '94 showed us that family ties are not always formed by blood. This group of friends formed their very own family in Seoul through the Sinchon Boarding House. They were always there for each other - Haitai and Samcheonpo during Binggeure's audition, Haitai was Na Jung's shoulder to cry on, they were all there to send off Yoon Jin during her first day of work, etc. I loved how they kept in touch even if they were far from each other - Haitai sent them letters while he was on military service and Chilbong called them when he was in Japan and exchanged e-mails with them when he was in the US. Na Jung also sent them e-mails when she was in super loved this last photo they took before the last boarder Haitai moved out. I could not help but feel super nostalgic watching this. LoveOf course it won't be a complete K drama if there's no love story. But I loved how apart from the main love storyline, Reply '94 also imparted some other nuggets of love wisdom. I could totally relate to that scene in episode 6 where the girls were trying to help Haitai figure out if his girlfriend wanted him to visit on her birthday or on some other day. The girls captured it perfectly when they said that sometimes, girls are not really asking for answers. When we rant, we are not asking for you guys to solve our problems. When we rant about how much work we have to do, we're not telling you that we want to quit or that you should find us another job and we're definitely not asking you to get two jobs. We rant because we want to rant, because we're tired, and we want to unload our feelings. We are not necessarily asking for solutions. We are asking for a listening ear and we want to feel your care and concern. That's all. And I loved how this was expressed through the analogy of what Na Jung was supposed to do if there was suffocating air inside the house. DI also loved that episode where Trash was telling Dong Il to be more patient and caring towards Il Hwa because they thought she was going through menopause already. Trash told Dong Il to focus on the little things to make Il Hwa feel loved and needed. I loved how the Reply series deviates from the abusive guy character that we usually see in most K dramas. When I think about it, the girl characters are actually the abusive ones - Deok Sun, Bora, Mi Ran, Na Jung, and Yoon Jin. DI also liked the love stories of Binggeure and Haitai. I was happy to see Haitai reunited with his first love. Die Die, the outgoing and carefree noona, was perfect for our baby Binggeure. And when it comes to true love, no one definitely can beat Samcheonpo and Yoon Jin. It was totally unexpected since they were always fighting. But when it happened, things happened so fast. I loved how stiff and inflexible Samcheonpo scrapped his plans to be with Yoon Jin's mom in the bus terminal. And how he told her that he was the closest one to Yoon Jin. Samcheonpo and Yoon Jin loved each other immensely. Who can forget that time when Samcheonpo brought home Seo Taiji's toilet bowl to comfort Yoon Jin who was so hearbroken with her idol's retirement? I was laughing so hard but I ended up crying when I realized that he was professing his great love for her by showing that he was willing to do anything for her. Yoon Jin loved Samcheonpo as much. She was angry because Samcheonpo announced to everyone that they had no plans of getting married yet. But she still showed up when Samcheonpo begged her to attend his office's karaoke session because his bosses wanted to see her. That was huge, knowing how much she hated gatherings. And the best part of their love story for me was when Samecheonpo proposed to Yoon Jin with his passbooks. I loved how he had a passbook for savings, the house, and wedding. How can you say no to someone as dependable as that? The Love Triangle This was a confusing one for me. For the love triangle in Reply '88, I was fine with either one getting the girl. I loved them both and I would have been heartbroken either way. I started out rooting for Trash - so much that I spoiled the show for myself by researching Na Jung's groom online. But towards the end, I found myself switching teams. If we were choosing the husband solely based on effort and love for Na Jung, I would like to think that Chilbong was more deserving of the girl. Let me explain. I probably started favoring Chilbong in episode 10. The kids were off to celebrate New Year at Samcheonpo, except for Trash who was on duty, Binggeure who was working, and Chilbong who had a meeting. Their appointments all got cancelled. I was hoping Trash would follow Na Jung but he went to play billiards with his friends instead. Chilbong, on the other hand, travelled for 6 hours to Samcheonpo to stay there for three hours, and went back to Seoul with another 6-hour bus ride, just to spend New Year's eve with Na Jung who was unfortunately knocked out most of the time due to tear gas. Such great love. Oppa and I also felt that Trash confessed to Na Jung only because he was challenged by Chilbong. Chilbong, on the other hand, was brave enough to tell Na Jung how he felt. After they broke up, Trash only pursued Na Jung again when he saw her with Chilbong. If he truly loved Na Jung, he should not have needed any challenge to make his move. I loved how the show confused the audience by naming both Trash Kim Jae Joon and Chilbong Kim Seon Joon, Kim and Joon. Or how Binggeure joined the groom's side during the wedding pictorial, which could make you think that Na Jung married his cousin. I liked that scene where Chilbong gave Trash a baseball that was valuable to him. Chilbong told Trash that he can keep it for now as he keeps Na Jung but he will definitely get it back and Na Jung too. In the 2013 scene, we see the ball displayed in Na Jung's house. One would initially think that Na Jung and Trash did end up together. But that would not have made sense when they broke up. So did Chilbong get the ball back because he and Na Jung got together eventually? Then did Trash finally get it again when he got back together with Na Jung? I was confusing myself and I shared my theory with Oppa, which spoiled the show for him too. In the end, my theory was proven wrong. Chilbong never got the ball back because he never got the girl. I liked how things didn't go awkward among the three even after Chilbong was rejected and Na Jung and Trash got married. Their friendship was not as solid as Taek and Jung Hwan's in '88 yet they overcame the awkwardness of the situation. Much respect of course for Chilbong. He did not need to maintain that friendship but he did. He even leased his apartment to them. He must have really loved Na Jung. Using Reply '88 standards where the guy who wanted the girl more or who was more persistent succeeded, Chilbong should have gotten the girl. But the difference was Na Jung was madly in love with Trash and from the beginning, she already made up her mind that Trash was the one for her, unlike Deok Sun who was I ended up going to Team Chilbong, I'm not saying that Trash was bad. Na Jung was very lucky to have two great guys after her. Both of them were worthy and there were moments when I wished Na Jung could marry them both. Chilbong and Na Jung I've said a lot about Chilbong already but allow me to elaborate some more. I loved Chilbong because he was persistent. That episode about his persistence in baseball when he was younger was a sign that he was going to be as persistent with Na Jung. I loved his fighting spirit especially when he said it ain't over 'til it's over. I loved the creative excuses he came up with so he can spend time with Na Jung, like taking the driving test even if he already had a license. Initially, I found it problematic that despite Chilbong's competitiveness and the huge threats he told Trash about stealing the girl, he did not really do enough to pursue Na Jung. Yes, he confessed. And he probably respected Trash. But he already had feelings for Na Jung even before he confirmed that Trash liked Na Jung back. And when he came back from the US for a vacation, he knew that Trash and Na Jung were no longer together so he could have actively pursued Na Jung then. I initially felt that he was all bark and no bite, like most guys. But I saw the light in the end. My poor Chilbong tried his very best. But when he saw that Na Jung was in despair because she could not be with Trash who was sick at that time, Chilbong decided that it was time to give up and let her go. Na Jung said it perfectly, Chilbong was nice. And Chilbong's realization was so painful - he was nice that's why he was ruined. He kept on giving way. And as they say, nice guys finish last. He was so nice and I was so proud of how great his love was for Na Jung that he bravely let her go. That breakup scene on the baseball field was so heartbreaking. But I loved how he got the closure he needed. In the end, I picked Chilbong because he had a sad life and I really wanted him to be happy. I just find comfort in the fact that he did get married as he revealed in the finale presumably to Jung Yu Mi whom he bumped into during the show's last episode. Happy with the Jung Yu Mi cameo because we're watching some episodes of Live and Summer Vacation on tvN.. I loved how only Chilbong and Na Jung remembered the new millennium reunion that the boarders planned. This paved the way for their "almost" and Na JungYes, I spoiled the groom for myself. But it did not actually ruin the show for me. I was still curious about how they were going to end up together. It even made me more alert to the hints on who Na Jung was going to marry like how Trash's older brother was named Jae Young and how some Korean families use similar syllables for their kids' names, which would make you think that Trash is Jae Joon.I started out rooting for Trash because he had more history with Na Jung. They go way back. And I know Na Jung loved him dearly. Between him and Chilbong, it would have probably been more heartbreaking for Trash if he did not get the girl. It took time before Trash finally confessed his feelings to Na Jeong. Looking back, however, Na Jung is partly to blame too. Everytime Trash tried to tell her that he liked her or when her friends told her that Trash liked her, she would completely ignore them. But then again, I would still blame Trash for not saying it formally and properly right away. Girls hate being assuming so we tend to ignore signs, unlike guys like Haitai who often assume that girls like him. I felt bad for Trash because he must have been scared of admitting his feelings. He might be accused of taking advantage of his close relationship with Na Jung's family. I acknowledge that the circumstances made things more difficult and complicated for him. But it must have also been heartbreaking for Na Jung to be "family-zoned," like when Trash picked Yoon Jin over her because she was family. But despite all the complaints I have about Trash, I would have to say that he gave the most passionate kisses. His kisses made me smile from ear to ear. I loved the straightforward way he proposed to Na Jung. They were in his hospital dorm and he casually gave her the ring and asked her to marry him because he no longer wanted to worry about losing her. I loved how he revealed his insecurities, unlike most guys who probably would be too proud to admit that. I respected Trash when he allowed Na Jung to leave because she wanted to have her own identity too. This issue is probably often ignored by couples but I believe it's something that must be discussed. Both should be on the same page regarding this to avoid problems later on. I loved how long distance relationships were discussed in this drama. It showed us that men and women have different expectations about LDRs. Guys feel that as long as they don't cheat, they're already doing great. But for women, not cheating is already a given. It's probably not even a bare minimum. Women expect men to put in time and effort to keep in touch. We still want to communicate, to be updated, and to feel your presence even virtually. I absolutely hated Trash when he distanced himself from Na Jung when his mom died, which led to their "break up without having to break up." Yes, he was probably sad and depressed. But as Na Jung told him, he should have said it. If he was hurt and having a hard time, he should have said it. If he fell out of love, he should have been straightforward about it. Although it may hurt, the truth will still be much better than being ghosted where you're left to doubt your self-worth. Despite the break up, I loved how Dong Il and Il Hwa's love for Trash never changed. I loved that conversation Il Hwa and Trash had about going to neurosurgery because of Il Hwa's deceased son. I felt Dong Il's pain when he told Trash that he felt like he lost another child when the two broke up. I loved that Dong Il gave his family gloves to Trash, as if telling him that even if you're no longer with my daughter, you will always be family. While I favored Chilbong, I was just happy for Na Jung because she got the guy she truly loved. The Other Stuff I super loved the references to sports. Oppa was excited when he saw the previews because Na Jung was a basketball fan, while Chilbong and Dong Il were on to baseball. Football was featured too through the World Cup. I loved how they featured real basketball players from the '90s. I can totally relate to Na Jung's fangirling. Na Jung was crazy over Lee Sang Min, who coincidentally caused the Philippines' heartbreaking loss in the 2002 Asian Basketball semi finals. Oppa was saying that he'd give Reply '94 a perfect rating of 5 but would need to deduct some points because it featured Lee Sang Min. I liked how the show used English songs from the '90s like What's Up, Love is All Around, and All I Want for Christmas is You. It was really much better to watch the original version of the drama because when we checked, the Netflix version did not use these songs. The version we watched also had subtitles for the Korean songs so we were able to appreciate them more. You'd be surprised at how perfect the lyrics were for the scenes where they were played. I liked how the show gave us glimpses of what happens during military service. The show also had the usual throwback stuff - backmasking, beepers/pagers, first generation mobile phones, etc. I really appreciated how the show featured what city life was like for country bumpkins. It was funny most of the time but I liked how the show explained that while city life was obviously more convenient, there will always be something charming and appealing about living a simple but happy life in the province. I could totally relate to how heavy the feeling is every time you leave the province to go back to the city. My cousins based in the province always had that problem whenever they had to go back to Manila for school. Because of the focus on country bumpkins, I'm sure this show will be so much more nostalgic for those who came from the province and stayed in boarding houses and dorms. I absolutely loved how the show ended. I'm glad they closed the loop on everything, including the literal closure of the boarding house when Dong Il posted a sign saying they were no longer accepting boarders. It was great to see the older versions of everyone, including Dong Il and Il Hwa. It was a very sentimental journey seeing how everyone has evolved. You can still see traces of their old selves annoying Samcheonpo, innocent Binggeure, and flashy Haitai but they've all improved as well Binggeure seemed more sure of himself and both Yoon Jin and Na Jung seemed tamer. It was a great way to end a show that reminisced about the time when they lived passionate and pure lives. The Not So GoodThe show had some flaws and we could not just ignore them the way we did in Reply '88. Probably because Reply '88 trained our eyes already and we are a bit more discerning this time. The explanation about who Trash was in relation to Na Jung's family was a bit confusing. We had to repeat the scene to understand things better. Although it might just be a translation problem or even a comprehension one. I appreciate that the version that we watched had explanations on some of the Korean references that non-Koreans might not know like the collapse of some companies. However, some of these explanations were too long that we were not able to catch them at all. There were inconsistencies/flaws in some scenes too. Oppa noted that when Haitai and Yoon Jin were going back to their provinces, Haitai was almost left behind by the bus and he left the restaurant in a rush when he realized he was late. However, when he was already settled on the bus, he offered to share his twin popsies with Yoon Jin. When did he exactly buy it? If he bought it way before he left the restaurant, it would have melted already. It didn't make sense either if he bought it just before leaving the restaurant because he was already pressed for time. Na Jung and Yoon Jin were both basketball fangirls during the first episode. While Lee Sang Min's posters remained in Na Jung's room, her fangirling was barely mentioned in the succeeding episodes. However, we learn during her wedding that she was still into Lee Sang min and her groom allowed her to watch the weekend games. Similarly, Yoon Jin was a huge Seo Taiji fan. She was so depressed when he retired. The retirement was short-lived because he became active again after about two years. However, it was mentioned very sparingly she handed out copies of his new album to her colleagues in 2000. I would like to think that someone like her who was so crazy about Seo Taiji would have done/celebrated more when he came out of retirement. Unlike Reply '88, I found some episodes dragging although the show would put in an exciting scene or two to make up for the drag. I remember feeling this way in episode 10 where the highlights were the kisses between Chilbong and Na Jung and Samcheonpo and Yoon Jin. I wish they featured Sook Sook more prominently. I understand that during the first few years he might have been stuck in the room most of the time since he was still a baby. Although that was also odd for the scenes where all the grown ups were outside. Who looked after Sook Sook then? But what bothered me most was even during the final days before everyone moved out of the boarding house, Sook Sook still did not join them even if he would have been big enough at that time. They all ate breakfast together but Sook Sook was not there. Was he in school already? I hoped they featured more of him the way Jin Joo was shown in '88. The thing that I disliked the most was the cameo of the Reply 1997 cast. I felt that it was overextended and it was on the slapstick side. And it's definitely not because I was unfamiliar with them. I did not know Trash and Na Jung either when they appeared in '88. But their cameos in '88 meshed nicely with the story. It was as if it flowed naturally from the original plot. I would even say that their cameos were pivotal because it led to the reunion of Bora and Sun Woo. The cameo of the '97 cast, on the other hand, felt disjointed from the entire '94 plot. Would you really get into a fistfight with strangers on a bus over some loud music? If you're planning to watch the entire Reply series, it might be advisable to watch them in the order they were released '97, '94, and '88 so you won't spoil '97 the way we did. Now we know who will end up together in '97. At least I won't need to spoil it for Oppa. And based on how we felt about '88 and '94, I would like to think that the series progressed for the better so it's best to watch '88 last. Over all, '94 was also great. It was definitely much better than your usual K dramas. But compared to '88, I think it paled a bit in comparison because as I mentioned in the beginning, '88 really set the bar so high. What set '88 apart for me was the focus on family. It gave me that warm and fuzzy feeling that '94 was not able to match. But '94 is still a must watch. Oppa says... Noona says...

recaps discussion news cast 517 December 29, 2013January 24, 2016 Answer Me 1994 Episode 21 Final by girlfriday We finally conclude the mystery and the journey, as the beginning of adulthood ushers in the end of an era. Everybody gets a name and Na-jung gets her husband, which means she gets to kick that headless groom she’s been marrying for ten weeks to the curb and replace him with the real deal. Bye, Headless Guy. The series went out on a high of ratings. It’s a bit of a rushed production that could’ve used a few hours of editing finesse had they had the time, but overall it goes out in true Answer Me style, as a love letter to the nineties and bygone youth.

EPISODE 21 “To the nineties” Both the wedding and the housewarming party draw to a close, and everyone gets up to leave except for Oppa and Chilbongie who linger behind. One of them comes up to put an arm around Na-jung as they say goodbye to their guests, and they note that sometimes first loves do make it. We go back to 2000, when Na-jung gets that message from Oppa on her way to Chilbongie, asking if she’ll come by because he’s sick. She bursts into tears right there in the cab, and sobs the whole way. The doorbell rings and Chilbongie opens his door… to Binggeure, who’s here to chase him down after he fled the hospital sooner than he was supposed to. And at the same time, Na-jung braces herself before ringing the doorbell… and Oppa answers. She cries, half-angry that he called and that she came despite it all, and brushes past him to go inside. He tries to hold onto her but she shakes him off, and he finally just throws his arms around her and hugs her close. She cries into his shoulder and her legs turn to jelly, sending them both crumbling to the ground in tears. Oppa just cups her face in his hands and looks at her for a long moment, and finally whispers as a tear rolls down his cheek “I love you. I love you.” Once he says the words, she’s the one to reach out and wipe the tears from his face, and she leans in for a kiss. Oppa comes to work the next day all better from his cold and floating on cloud nine. He hears the other residents oohing over Chilbongie being at the hospital, trying to figure out how to get an autograph. Na-jung gets calls from Yoon-jin, then Samcheonpo, then Haitai, all telling her to hurry home because Mom’s cooking something special. That’s so cute. She asks Haitai if he called Binggeure and Chilbongie too, and that’s when he tells her that Chilbongie is at the hospital and checked himself out before he was supposed to. She calls Chilbongie to ask where he is, and finds him at the baseball field. He waves at her from the mound and she waves back from the stands before coming out to the field. He makes her stop when she’s a few feet away though, not letting her come any closer. He puts on a smile and says he has a wish, and points to a glove hanging on a bat at the edge of the field. He asks if she’ll grant his wish if he hits it, and though he struggles with his injured arm, he hits his target like he always did. He turns to her, “Na-jung-ah…” but before he can even say it, she rushes him with a hug, throwing her arms around his waist and leaving him speechless. Aw. He smiles, “How’d you know?” He continues, “I don’t think I’ll be able to call. I think it’ll take some time. Sorry.” He holds on for one more moment before pushing her away. Na-jung looks up at him “Joon-ah, of all the people I know, you’re the handsomest.” She names all his good traits and says that he’s the most impressive person she’s ever met “Do you know how thankful I am that someone like you liked me?” She says it was because of him that she found out that she wasn’t half bad herself. She says that someday if she ever has a child, she’s going to brag about how that famous person on TV liked her. “Joon-ah, thank you for liking me. Because of you, my age twenty will be a beautiful memory.” They smile at each other and he swallows back tears “Me too.” He hugs her one last time and says goodbye. And then long after she’s gone, he sits alone looking out at the field, and lets himself cry. I’m not crying. I’m not. *sniff* Later as he packs, Haitai calls to say he should come by the house to have drinks with everyone on his last day. He can’t, of course, because of Na-jung, but he has a final doctor’s appointment anyway to check on his injuries before he flies out. At the hospital, the doctor tells him his shoulder and back aren’t in good shape, and at some point he’s going to need surgery. It’s his back that’s worse off, and the doc has called in a specialist to do a consult. In walks Garbage, who’s now the head brain/spine doctor, which is a really hard thing to wrap my head around because I’ve seen him wipe his face with a floor mat. The air is awkward, naturally, and Chilbongie sits quietly through the session as Garbage the Neurosurgeon explains that he can treat it without surgery, but that means he’s always one injury away from permanent damage. He says the same thing—at some point, he’ll need surgery, and perhaps sooner is better so that he’ll have a chance to recover. The residents line up to get autographs afterward, and Garbage waits till they’re the only two left in the room. There’s no more avoiding it now, so they sit down for a chat. Garbage tells him about his back in simpler layman terms, and gives him advice about what to do. He knows Chilbongie is headed to the airport to fly out tonight, and stops to put a hand on his arm as he says goodbye and tells him sincerely to take care of himself. Chilbongie replies, “You too, sunbaenim.” Garbage turns to go and then whirls back around, “Hey, you used to call me hyung. Are you not calling me hyung anymore? What’s with the sunbaenim? All the other guys call me hyung. You’re the only one. What’s that about?” Chilbongie smiles and asks if he’d be able to do that if the roles were reversed, and promises, “Next time. Next time, sunbaenim.” Garbage looks at him thoughtfully… and then scrunches his face to whine that he really dislikes him. It’s cute that he’s trying for the laugh. As Haitai and Samcheonpo watch Chilbongie board his flight on the news, Haitai decides that he’ll name his child after Chilbongie so that he makes a boatload of money. Samcheonpo says he’ll do really badly in school then, so Haitai revises his plan and says he’ll name his child after Garbage. Samcheonpo “Do you plan to raise him as half-human, half-beast?” Lol. At the hospital the next day, Oppa tells Na-jung he’s five seconds away from his office, where she’s waiting with every snack imaginable on his break. His pager rings and he gets lost in thought for a moment, and Na-jung has to call him over and over “Oppa. Oppa! Jae-joon oppa!” He finally turns around. And just to put a stamp on it, a close-up of his nametag reads Kim Jae-joon. We go back to the wedding footage, and this time we finally get to see the head attached to the groom, and it is indeed Oppa, looking sheepish when Dad scolds him for choosing such a terrible day to have a wedding, having to pry Na-jung away from Dad at the altar, and smiling back at her as they walk back down the aisle as husband and wife. And at the housewarming party, this time it’s Oppa who takes the phone from Sook-sookie to tell Mom that he’s usually a good kid while kicking him silently, and he’s the one that Shi-won recognizes as looking strangely familiar, though neither of them can remember why. Heh. And as the friends get ready to leave, Chilbongie stands up after tying his shoe, standing in the doorway with the rest of the gang after all. Turns out this house was his to begin with, which explains why he’s so comfortable here enough to take a nap and order takeout. He even took a hit when he let Na-jung take over the contract at a lower price, and they joke that it was the First Love Discount. She warns him that he can’t take it back, and he says his wife complained, but she counters that she has three kids which pretty much makes her constantly broke. Chilbongie calls out to Garbage because he left his phone behind, and calls him hyung. Haitai looks at Garbage and Na-jung together and says that sometimes first loves do make it, and they each go down the row saying “Like us,” and even Chilbongie joins in, which makes everyone laugh. The non-blurry wedding photo shows the whole gang there at the wedding, including Chilbongie. After the housewarming party, Na-jung cleans up, and Oppa goes to check on the kids. The youngest is stirring, so he puts him to sleep, and they nod off with their legs crossed exactly the same way. That’s so cute. As they get ready for bed, Oppa calls Chilbongie impressive for finishing out his pro career he’s playing for the Twins after all, fulfilling Dad’s wish, instead of coaching in the States with so many offers coming in. Na-jung runs down a to-do list with Oppa, calling him oppa, yeobo, and Sannie’s dad in three consecutive sentences. He laughs and tells her to stick to calling him one thing. She says it’s all the same, but he says each makes him feel differently. He says when she calls him oppa he wants to be really good to her and take her out to movies, and when she calls him Sannie’s dad he gets strength like he’s suddenly a bear. “And yeobo?” He shudders and pretends to be annoyed at the sound of the word, so she yells at him to get away, now calling him Kim Jae-joon-sshi. He just gives her hugs and kisses, laughing. He asks why Haitai married so late, and she says they had a long-distance relationship too, and broke up another time before getting back together. Oppa asks where she went, expecting the name of another country, but Na-jung says Suwon, which is like twenty minutes away, ha. Back in 2002, Haitai is still living at the boardinghouse, and Dad asks if he’s going to live here forever. Haitai says he’s saving money, and Mom insists she loves having Haitai around. Samcheonpo and Yoon-jin are newlyweds, and Haitai says they just had a huge fight the other night because Seo Taiji came back with a new album, and Yoon-jin ran out and bought a hundred copies to pass out to everyone she knows and even strangers in the street. Dad holds up his copy. They light up when Chilbongie shows up on the news in a report about his surprise return to Korea, and we finally get his name Kim Sun-joon. Dad worries about him, knowing he’s back for surgery and that he’ll be all alone. Mom and Dad ask Haitai if they’ve talked to him at all, assuming that naturally they’ve lost touch. Chilbongie returns to an empty apartment, and ponders Binggeure’s worries about him undergoing surgery alone. I’m gonna cry. WHY IS HE ALONE? He winces in pain at his shoulder and opens up his sad empty fridge, and then the doorbell rings. Please be the gang. Please be the gang. Yay, it’s the gang! He’s shocked as they just barge in unannounced and make themselves at home, talking as if no time has passed. Na-jung is on the phone with Mom who wants to make him food and the rest of the guys are already getting out bottles and bottles of soju. Binggeure tells him he was going to come alone but they already knew and came along. Two seconds later the doorbell rings again with the chicken they already called to have delivered. The shock finally wears off and Chilbongie laughs. The group gets into a debate about whether or not Chilbongie should have surgery now, with Haitai and Yoon-jin arguing that he should finish out the season first and go out on a high, and Na-jung and Samcheonpo arguing that he needs to hurry up and get surgery so that he can recover sooner and have a better outlook for his long-term career. It’s hilariously heated on both sides, and even funnier for the fact that they’re not listening to Chilbongie or even asking what he thinks, determined to come to a decision as a group, because that’s how they do things. This makes me so happy. They make Chilbongie make the ramyun while they continue to argue over his future, and Binggeure says they might end up crashing here if they keep drinking. But Chilbongie says that Haitai gets up early to go hiking in the morning, and Yoon-jin and Samcheonpo are taking English class in the mornings, and Na-jung visits Garbage on the weekends. Binggeure wonders how Chilbongie knows more about their daily routines than he does. A flashback montage shows Chilbongie alone in the States, lighting up every time he received a new email from one of them. They wrote back and forth the whole time, and never lost touch. Awwww. Oppa is working in Gangneung now, which means Na-jung only sees him on weekends, though she tells Mom and Dad that she’s happier than she’s ever been. She happily lays out her outfit to wear tomorrow to go see Oppa, and heads to bed. But just as she lies down, she hears someone come through the front gate. She sits up as Oppa sneaks into her room, having driven all the way here just to see her a little earlier. He snuggles up in bed with her, and Na-jung says matter-of-factly, “If we get caught like this, we’ll both die by Dad’s hand.” He says it’s okay, “I have to get my head cracked open once before we get married anyway, so it’s all the same.” Haha. She asks how he knew, and says with a huge smile that Dad has plans to kill and pickle him. I love that she says this stuff in the tone of an endearment. She asks when they’ll tell Dad, and he says they’ll tell them soon and she can just hide behind him. She whispers, “Jae-joon oppa, I love you. Really.” He says he knows and gives her kisses. And then we see their two sets of red family mittens sitting side by side on her desk. On the day that they do tell Dad about their plans to get married, he comes at them with the giraffe paddle again, screaming his head off. They protest that he’s known they’ve been dating for two years so marriage was inevitable, though of course Dad argues that it’s really been seven years since they started this crazy mess, and refuses to be party to it all over again. Dad’s temper always precedes his softer side, so he declares that they can do whatever the hell they want, but he’s not going to that wedding. Mom takes their side and says she’ll go, but Dad brings them both to tears when he screams that they hammered a nail into his best friend’s heart and his own once before, asking how they can bring up marriage again so flippantly. Oof. It’s really Oppa’s relationship to the parents that gets me in the heart—I think Dad was more heartbroken over the first engagement than the kids were. Oppa fights back tears and gets down on his knees, and pulls Na-jung down too. He promises, “Father, we’ll live well.” Na-jung brings Mom coffee outside, and asks if Mom likes Oppa that much—she always took his side, even the first time when Dad was so against them dating. Mom “He’s my son. Jae-joonie is my son.” Mom says she might not know, but that first time when Dad was so upset, Mom was just grateful and cried by herself in the bathroom. She thinks back to that day, when Oppa had first told Mom and Dad about them. After Dad walks out in silent protest, Mom tells Garbage it’s okay and cheers him on “Mom is on your side.” She changes the subject asks if he’s picked a specialty yet, and he says he chose neurosurgery. Mom instantly starts to cry. “It’s because of Hoon, isn’t it?” Awww, Oppa. She says he stayed by Hoon’s side the whole time he had surgery for his brain tumor, and doesn’t even need to tell her—she knows he chose that field because of Hoon. He lies and says it isn’t, and she tells him to choose something else to make life easier for himself, and that he needn’t do this for her. Oppa just takes her hands and swears it’s the field he wants to go into, and hugs her while she cries. Dammit, you can always count on Oppa for a sneak-cry, just when you thought you were all clear. Back in the present, Oppa is now on pins and needles around Dad, who gives him the silent treatment and only makes Oppa more nervous and fidgety, if that’s even possible. Meals are tense, and he gets slammed in the face with a ham when he accidentally flicks a radish in Dad’s face. By February, Oppa brings Chilbongie hospital food. Aw, you fixed up Chilbongie. And in March, he’s still following Dad on eggshells, trying to be on his best behavior and killing Dad’s favorite plant in the process. Chilbongie is still recovering in the hospital in April, and the gang comes in for regular visits to play games and shoot the breeze. In May Oppa is still on Dad’s bad side, and by June, it’s sort of turned into this immature game, where Oppa follows Dad around like his shadow, and Dad runs away like a little kid. Oppa follows him to the neighborhood store and perks up whenever he has the chance to do something right like remembering what Mom asked him to buy or paying or doing the heavy lifting. Dad scowls gruffly the whole time, but then as soon as Garbage steps out with groceries in hand, he’s bragging to the shopkeeper about his doctor son-in-law. Omg. So cute. And SO like Dad. Four days before the wedding, Korea plays against Italy in the 2002 World Cup, and everyone gathers at the house decked out in their red shirts. Everyone bets on Korea while Dad is the loner who bets on Italy, and then Chilbongie arrives with chicken and joins Team Italy. Korea ties the game which sends them into overtime, and Garbage, who’s playing bookie for the day, decides that it’s the last chance for anyone to switch their bets if they pay a little more cash. Dad stays firmly on the wrong side, but Chilbongie decides to change over at the last minute. Garbage takes it back and says he missed his window, and Chilbongie whines, “Hyuuuung!” Cuuuute. Garbage caves to being called hyung, though he tells him he can pay double because he’s a major leaguer. Ha. Korea wins and makes it to the quarterfinals, and the house erupts in cheers and kisses for all. Dad makes sure to take back his money during the commotion, lol. Mom announces the big news that Haitai is finally leaving the nest for an apartment of his own, and Dad tells them they’ll be selling the house because nobody stays at these old-fashioned boardinghouses anymore. Aw, sad. End of an era. Mom tells all the kids to sleep over tonight, and offers to make whatever they want for breakfast. She fills the table with mountains of all their favorite foods, and then everyone comes down for their last meal together at the house, trying their best not to cry. Haitai can’t even take a bite because he’ll probably sob into his rice he really did love Mom best, I think and heads upstairs to finish packing. Samcheonpo comes up and helps him pack the giant puffy blanket they shared for years, and wonders why he’s taking such a heavy thing. Haitai says he can’t sleep without it. Then Samcheonpo remembers that it was his, and then they go back and forth trying to remember whose mom sent it. Samcheonpo says he can hardly remember, “What’s mine became yours and what was yours became mine, and now I can’t tell what’s yours-mine or mine-yours anymore.” He goes back and forth so many times that Haitai loses track “So whose is it?! Mine or yours?” Samcheonpo says it doesn’t matter “You have it.” Awwww. The kids gather downstairs to say goodbye, and Haitai busts out his newfangled digital camera to take a picture. They gather outside the house for a group shot. Afterwards Dad writes up a handwritten note to put over their boardinghouse sign that says they don’t take boarders anymore, and Na-jung watches with a long face. Samcheonpo On June 19, 2002, Shinchon Boardinghouse closed its doors. Thus we became Shinchon Boardinghouse’s first and last boarders. At my age twenty that wasn’t anything special, in a Seoul [called formally Seoul Special City] of ten million, the special connections that were like a miracle. That place, that made the youths of a couple of country bumpkins bustling, noisy, and eventually special. We spent a very special time together at Shinchon Boardinghouse. We cried, laughed, met, parted, and ached. We had different memories, different connections, different loves, but we were in the same time and the same place together, like a miracle. A trip down memory lane brings us back to the night of the World Cup, when Chilbongie runs down the street holding six chickens in his hands. He suddenly drops out of frame and the fried chicken goes flying, and we see that he’s collided with someone and broken her fall. Eep! The boy just had back surgery! He helps her up and she lifts the headband out of her face, and omo! Jung Yumi! She says she’s okay but as he cleans up the chicken, she hobbles around clearly missing a slipper. He asks if she lost something, and she cries after her ddal-ddalie, which is exactly the word that Na-jung uses for slippers, and one of the first conversations they had at the house about Oppa’s ddal-ddalie being his favorite and Chilbongie finding her strange words for things cute. Jung Yumi suddenly slips into her country accent as she hops around looking for her shoe, and Chilbongie just smiles after her and laughs to himself. Thank goodness they got an actress I love—I think I might’ve died a little inside if they had paired him with someone less than stellar. Back in 2013, Haitai takes a call from his boss late at night, and Na-jung shuts the TV off, telling her three young sons that chasing stars will make them stupid ha, it’s A-Pink, for one last Jung Eun-ji cameo. And Samcheonpo tells his cabbie the best route to take home like an expert. And at the house, Dad takes down the last sign for new boarders. Samcheonpo Right now we might be pitiful salarymen who are mindful of the world, but we were once Korea’s first new generation Generation X. We might now be ajummas who pour on the nagging like waterfalls, but once we were hot-blooded youth who hanged our lives on our oppas. And we were the first generation who was blessed to experience both an analog and digital world. I repent for the days I used to belittle seventies music and eighties movies. That those movies, that music weren’t just movies and music, but your youth and your era—is something that I now realize when I am no longer young. December 28, 2013. In a few days, we become forty. To all the forty-year-old youths of Korea, and to everyone who lived through the nineties and endured till now, I dedicate these words to you Do you remember that we lived through a beautiful age, that our brilliant youth shone brightly, that our relentless loves ran hot, that we were great in years gone by. Though the next era may be a difficult one, let us live it passionately enough to be old-fashioned. That era that was so hot and innocent that I long for it with a chill. Do you hear me? If you do, answer me, my nineties. COMMENTS The finale delivered a faithful ending given the final trajectory of the show, so there weren’t any missing pieces or huge twists, and I think in general it puts in every bit of effort to give everyone a believable happy ending with no resolution left unturned. Because I was annoyed enough that we were dragging the mystery all the way to the finale, I was glad when Na-jung made her choice in the first five minutes, which in the very least gives us the rest of the episode for some closure and a chance to wrap up everyone’s stories. I still think the hour and a half left something to be desired for the secondary characters, but I much prefer an ending that focuses on the family as a whole and what that house did to bring these people together, so points for that. As for Na-jung’s choice, I fully expected her to pick Oppa, and I fully expected to have my heart break for Chilbongie, so I was neither disappointed nor surprised about it. I don’t even feel weird about my feelings being split in that I’m happy for Oppa and Na-jung and crying for Chilbongie, because the show was written to make me feel bipolar about the romance. I do think in that sense neither guy gets the classic win because both got shafted throughout the journey for the sake of keeping them in the race till the last possible second, but as far as resolutions go, I was satisfied for both of them and found the final hour more pleasant than most of the second half of the series, which so often put mystery before character development. I’ve said as much already in my year-end review so there’s no need to rehash everything, but it goes without saying that Answer Me 1994 got stuck in its own tunnel of mystery, and sacrificed far too much of what was good about the show in service of fueling this strange fixation with the bait-and-switch. I mean this on a structural storytelling level, and not the fact of the overarching who’s-the-husband mystery, because that’s just a gimmick and is as annoying or not depending on how they want to play it. The writer was just obsessed with the bait-and-switch in this drama, wherein we’re purposely led to believe one truth they’re siblings/not, or more frequently led down a path of murkiness where nobody outright says a thing What does Binggeure feel for Oppa? What does Oppa feel? What is Na-jung’s reaction to anything? just so that the story can be clever and jump out at us with a surprise twist. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it’s confusing, but by and large what happens if you do it for long enough is that we stop trusting your truth as truth and keep ducking for that sudden left hook. I felt totally shafted on Binggeure’s character development and found his sudden resolution to be a twist for twist’s sake—had he been confused about his sexuality, been exploring what his conflicting feelings meant, had we been in on his journey from the start or been allowed to know what he was going through, I’d have found his resolution to be fulfilling and a nice statement about the fluidity of sexuality and the importance of choice. Mostly though, I feel cheated out of what could have been that story because the show was more concerned with teasing the idea that he’d be gay so that they could swing around and do the big tadaaaaa moment. What is the point of that? I don’t disagree with the outcome, but I’m disappointed in how we got there. The biggest misstep was with Oppa and Chilbongie, which of course ignited some crazy fan wars, the depths of which I don’t care to relive. The story chose a frustrating withholding strategy to prolong the central love triangle by taking turns putting Oppa in the corner and then Chilbongie in the corner, then back and forth and back again, until at some point we stopped caring whose turn it was and wanted it to stop. For as much thought as this writer puts into creating nuanced characters, she let The Hand of Mystery motivate their actions, which I found to be endlessly frustrating. I kept wanting deep, complex reasons, and kept getting non-answers and purposeful omissions for the sake of keeping things opaque. Now that we’re able to look back on the series as a whole, the latter half really sags with the weight of a single mystery stretched far too thin—now it shows just how little conflict was being prolonged for that much story time, and makes me wish they had just answered the question early if only to force them to come up with more story afterwards. If they had told this story in twelve episodes, it might’ve been brilliant. Told in twenty-one, it loses all that pizazz. It’s doubly encumbered by the episode length, which grew preposterously long and drew complaints, eventually leading to the production releasing apologies, but sticking to its hour-and-a-half episodes anyway. What kills me is that I know this director has a strong sense of comic timing because Answer Me 1997 was spot-on and felt whip-smart because of its pace until it also started to lag via bloated air time. This time scenes went on endlessly, jokes got lost because there were no editing choices made, and I could actually feel them padding out episodes and refusing to kill their babies, which dulled the zing factor—and one of my favorite things about this franchise is its zing! It felt like a raw production that should’ve gone through one more hardcore editing pass, perhaps from someone who wasn’t so attached to the cast. Even still, this show was fantastic when it was firing on all cylinders—when friends became family, when people showed up for each other, and when they finally learned how to ask for someone to stay by their side. Go Ara finally got to shed her acting criticism and her just-a-pretty-face image, and did an fantastic job of being believable in every moment, no matter what tiny thing she was doing. It was lovely to watch. Jung Woo is just amazing, and gave Oppa a vulnerability and a depth beyond what was written. His character is literally one that can’t exist without that actor, which you can’t say about most roles. Yoo Yeon-seok got the full Nineties Lee Jung-jae workup, so in a meta sense he gets cosmically rewarded for walking away without the girl; you get to take all of the other women in the world with you, which you can’t exactly call a raw deal. I’m pretty sure I haven’t watched a drama that so romanticized an unrequited love and gave it the hero treatment since the nineties, so I have to assume his entire character is a love letter to that era. Which I guess just makes me a goner from the start. In execution, this drama was proof that you do lose something when you try to have your cake and eat it too. But what this franchise always manages to do right is make us smile and look back on our own youths with the same sense of longing and nostalgia, and the hindsight that comes from maturing. I wish it had been a smoother ride because I love all the characters dearly, but I’m glad we at least go out on a good note. Thanks for the memories, Shincheon Boardinghouse—the good, the confusing, the funny, the frustrating, the heartrending, and the sweet ones all.
