[Review] Reply to 1997

The drama which have been getting so much attention these past few week, is it worth watching? You can tell that question goodbye, permanently cause' it's worth every penny. Even though, I haven't spent any. But, every episode has the suspension of the next episode. What would happen? Who is the guy? Weirdly, I watched this every week. Usually I watch the first episode and wait for the whole series to end. But this time, it was different, I couldn't wait to watch the next episode. To see what the next episode will bring us. Believe me, the drama is that welcoming. (This is my first review so it would be a bit glitchy, I shall try my hardest to improve in my review writing).

Here's the synopsis of the drama (yes! I'm not giving spoilers) : This drama will focus on the extreme fan culture that emerged in the 1990s when idol groups took center stage and K-pop was blossoming. It tells the story of 6 former high school friends from a school in Busan who meet again in 2012 and brings back memories to 1997 when they were still high school students. Moving back and forth between the ’90s and today, the story centers on the life of Sung Si Won (Jung Eun Ji), who idolizes boy band H.O.T. and her 5 high school friends.

I think everything is in the right place for this drama. As the plot is good and very unique too. The characters are very well matched to the roles. But, I would say I like the character played by Hoya(Infinite) is the most challenging one. As you would have read in the news, he plays a homosexual character. It was very shocking indeed. But thumbs up to that guy for trying it in a very conservative country like south Korea. And not to mention Eunji(A-pink) and Seo in guk's busan dialect do catches eyes very easily or maybe ears in my case. Honestly, I have no idea how to differentiate them, I'm just a random girl from Maldives.

Well, the copyrights to this drama are very strict, too strict I guess. Blogs being deleted if they post download links, or even the subtitles. That scares me. What if no one releases the final episode's subtitles? I would have to watch RAW videos I guess. Luckily, I found this awesome blog which posts it's videos, but not the subs. (Not mentioning the name). But, the torrents are alive I think. I have some subtitles, just let me know it you want the subs. Send me an email to (ripzzie@gmail.com). But, I don't have episode 16's sadly. And I would kill to get my hands on those .srt files.

So overall I rate this drama 9/10. I gave it 9 because of the suspense, It's good at the same time not so good. But the drama is totally worth it. Go watch it guys. Trust me you won't regret the decision.
