Reply 1988 is a nostalgic drama that shows the lives of 5 childhood friends who live in the same neighbourhood in seoul and their lives between 1988 to 2015. The best part about this kdrama is that it has so many different characters and parts to it that there is something for all to enjoy. All the characters were important definitely however i feel at times the kdrama felt a bit too long for me. Since each episode is 1hr 30 mins long and some being even longer it was hard for to focus on some parts that i felt were unnecessary. I can say too many good parts about this kdrama. It beautifully shows the phenomenal beauty of youth, strong bonds between people who are not family by heart but by blood and sacrifices made by certain characters for the others to remain happy.

The ending wasn't exactly happy for me- it left more of a bittersweet feeling inside of me as i came to realize that our youth lasts for only a short minute and just like the characters in the kdrama oneday we all will become busy with our jobs and lives. Its sad that we lose ties with people who we were once the closest with. Even though i wasn't born in the 80s i still enjoyed reply 1988 for the most part.
