Because its the first time, has more of a group friendship thing. 3 guys and 2 girls who have been friends since they were children, and 2 guys ended up falling for the girl. Its a very light coming of age drama and the first drama i actualky liked Choi Minho in.
Reply 1997 actually is very light and not as heavy. Reply 1988 would lull you with all the funny and adorable moments then it wpuld just rip out your heart. Its almost 2 years since i saw that drama but I still cant get over the love triangle and roller coaster rode they put me through.
