Reply 1988 started out as one of the BEST dramas ever turns out as one of the WORST dramas Iāve ever watched. So bad I couldnāt even bear to watch the last ep. Sorry but not sorry to Taek-DukSun shippers. But their progress made no sense. Could NOT feel any tingling/butterflies feelings when watching their love progress at all.Ā
From beginning to the old version of DS and husband, that personality (even until now) screams Jung Hwan. Their little bickers, the way they talk, every small detail SCREAMS Jung Hwan. Then came the little hiatus that they altered the future husbandās personality to be more calm.. and even then, nothing says the introverted, a bit cutely air-headed Taek like it was shown in 1988-1994. The only sign ofĀ āTaekā is he smokes. Taek doesnāt read weird manga/novels either, or it was ever indicated so in the past. Then BAM episode 18-19 happened. It was like WTFUCK? It was so nonsensical that I couldnāt even finish the series. Where is the consistency? At least in the future/present scenes of Reply 1997, and Reply 1994, there were ambiguity of who was really the husband, so the ending could be either way. But thisā¦ WTF is this shit?
Yes the most important is about how DS truly feels. But DS (Hyeri)Ā āactsā on her feelings as what the director told her to as well. IF the director wants her to end with Taek, of course her eyes would look at him differently than before.. and same with Jung-Hwan too. Heck, Chilbong was the latecomer that all things he did was to no avail bc Na Jeongās heart already belonged to Trash Oppa. But Jung Hwanā¦ he loved her first, cared for her first, even got her to like him firstā¦ the only thing NOT going his way was he could not get to confess first just because he values his friendship with Taek so much. Heck if Jung Hwan was the one that confessed about his love to the guys without knowing that Taek liked her too, he would have gotten more support and better chance instead of being the lonely heartbreak. This guy barely got his chance at all.
I have nothing against Taek. I, too, think that heās freaking adorable. But him as the endgame made no sense. It was as if DS was told to fall in love with Taek towards the end.. just becauseā¦ the director said soā¦ -___-Ā
If since the beginning plus the future/present scenes showed consistency that Taek being the endgame would make sense, I wouldnāt mind. (I would just cry secretly with JungHwan and hug the laptop) but this ā¦.. this is ridiculous -__-
