One of the best dramas to date. I would say it is better than Reply 1994. Compared to its predecessors, this one focuses more on family and friendship rather than love. Romance is an important factor but there are so many deeper things that are shown in this drama. It shows you how love and friendship are intertwined sometimes and how friendship is a barrier in some relationships. It shows how important family is, as well as friends. It shows us the aging process and how family is the only support. This drama really showed me so much that this is one now one of my top 5 dramas. Super well-crafted. Though it is less reminiscent than 1994, this one really digs deep and is now an irreplaceable drama for me. The first few episodes were alright but not super good. It is when the drama starts to really show you the different relationships of this neighborhood that you start to fall for it, so give it a try and be patient.
