This drama is so ENDEARING. I just finished watching it and feel like I have been part of their families' lives. It is a drama about life, love, friendship, anger, failure and family. There is a huge amount of comical moments to ensure that it never gets depressing or too heavy. (THE GOAT) I laughed many time at the top of my lungs, because every episode will deliver something totally ridiculous (in a good sense). You have all kinds of characters and they are quite original. Each of them is portrayed as flawed but loveable at the same time. The constellations between the families are the reason that it feels like a tiny universe of emotional ties that is shown at a moment (or some years) that are most important for their future development. And there is the issue of THE love-mystery... I have never watched a drama where it was not clear which guy is the leading role and who is the second lead - thus making it really difficult to predict who the main girl will choose in the end. IMO the writers did a great job in making it ambiguous. It is so fifty-fifty, that they could actually pull off an alternative ending taking the last two episodes. But this is NOT a love-drama, if you are looking just for romance then you will be disappointed. When you look for an entertaining, adorable, higly emotional and funny drama, then you have found it. What a great piece. Applause to the producers and the team of Reply 1988.
