*no particular order
reply 1997
set in the 90s
follows a group of friends and how they stick together during this time
two guys that go after a girl and the drama is a guessing game on who ends up being her husband
good life lessons
good ost (original soundtrack)
it’s hilarious
not a typical kdrama, very original
what stuck out with this drama is it’s creativity. you’ll never watch a drama like this bc of the setting
reply 1994
set in the 90s (this is a series but they are all different stories)
follows a group of friends and how they stick together during this time
once again trying to figure out who is the husband
good life lessons
good ost
also hilarious
very original
if you don’t do well with second leads as in you have sls (second lead syndrome) then you will most likely fall for the guy that isn’t the husband but tbh it depends on you
what stuck out with this drama is also the setting. all of these are different settings and they don’t have the same plot
reply 1988
set in the 80s-90s
uGH this drama honestly gets to me it’s so fricking good.
if you’re thinking rn that you dont want to watch these dramas bc it’s set in the old times WATCH THESE I GUARANTEE YOU WONT REGRET IT
this is the highest rated kdrama in history trust me it’s good
it’s a little bit slow in the beginning but it picks up and it’s worth it
same kind of idea as the previous reply series
everything about this drama is amazing. everything.
this one is different from the other reply series bc it’s not as easy to guess who the husband is.
the director is really good and there is a lot of foreshadowing and clues that you’ll have to work hard to find
this drama is so well put everything connects together
you will fall in love with all the characters they’re so funny ok im done
