last few days i just done watching the drama Reply 1997.
At first, I watched it because Hoya was one of the main cast. Im not a fan of Hoya, but you can call me an Inspirit. huhu
But then, it turned out that Reply 1997 was really a five-star drama. It is a romance comedy story, which set at 1997 and the present.
This story is about Shi Won, the heroin, an obsessive fan of H.O.T (a kpop band back in 90's). She's the only daughter to her parents, since her older sister died of an accident. She's at the bottom of her class, and when her father asked her what she wanted to do in the future, she answered she wanted to be Tony's wife (Tony is oone of the members of H.O.T)
At first, I was so stressed and tension because of ShiWon obsessiveness on Tony. She would do anything, including write her love to Tony in her own blood. She even fought with her parents just because of H.O.T. (Her parents called H.O.T monkeys hahaha).
But then, the story goes on.
ShiWon childhood friend, YoonJae practically lived with her. They dont lived under the same roof, but YoonJae frequently visit ShiWon's house like his own house, and ShiWon's parents treat him like their own son since YoonJae was an orphan. Compared to ShiWon, YoonJae was the top student at their school, and a cool person. At their first day of high school, YoonJae fell in love with Shiwon because Shiwon took off her glasses and wore lenses instead. He hide his feelings since then and tried to give hints to Shiwon.
YoonJae's brother, Taewoong worked as a teacher at their school. Taewoong used to date Shiwon's sister, and end up falling in love with Shiwon. Taewoong was a smart and genius person. Unlike his brother, Taewoong gived warmth to people around him. When Taewoong asked Shiwon to be his girlfriend, Shiwon bluntly agreed because she didn't know her true feelings toward Taewoong and Yoonjae.
The climax of this story is when Shiwon celebrated her 18th or 19th birthday (can't remember) with her friends at a karaoke center. When Shiwon and Yoonjae were left alone in the room, Shiwon asked for her birthday present from Yoonjae. During her birthday year before, she said to Yoonjae she wanted a ring from someone that likes her, except Yoonjae. So, Yoonjae end up confessed to Shiwon, and how frustrated he was when he had to give up Shiwon for his older brother who was basically everything to him.
Then, he gave her the ring and left the room.
Flash forward, they met again in 2005 after they departed for Seoul. Since then, Shiwon tried to grab Yoonjae attention, and continuously asking him whether he still likes her or not. While Taewoong, even though Shiwon asked for breakup soon after Yoonjae confession, he still put his hope on her and kept on waiting for her.
In the end, after all the push and pull, Yoonjae said yes to Shiwon. and they start to date afterward, even though Shiwon treated him violently. But they were so sweet~~
and Yoonjae had to face his brother, since he liked Shiwon too. After all the heart throbbing moments between the brothers, Taewoong give up to his brother because Yoonjae was the only relative he had and he didn't want to ruin their relationship. Yoonjae was touched and cried for his brother sacrificed for him.
and the present. They were at the school's alumni meeting. Shiwon and Yoonjae were married with a daughter becoming 2 children. Taewoong was a candidate for an election, and married to the director of a hospital (who happened to be the president of TVXQ fanclub).
What I really like about this story is the way they keep changing the settings, from year 1997 to present. And with a little hint of minutes from the present, the story managed to made me confused Shiwon was married to Taewoong or Yoonjae.
and this story really had a good sense of humor when every awkward or funny moment, they add up with goat sounds (embek) and that made me laugh more.
one of the values that I really adore is even though Shiwon parents always argued to the state that Shiwon thought they were going to divorce, they were actually romantic and loving. And Shiwon marriage with Yoonjae was practically fulled with violence since they kept bickering all the time and that was normal to them.
AND... I ship ShiWon and YoonJae~~ hahaha
the character Shiwon was casted by Eunji Apink and Yoonjae, a solo singer Seo In Guk. Reply 1997 is a debut drama for Seo In Guk, yet he managed to be praised by public and critics.
here are some pictures from Reply 1997.
