REPLY 1988 REVIEW
Wow, I'm finally doing this. Almost 4 months since I've watched Reply 1988. Pero ngayon lang ako sinipag actually mag-type. I have to type this, because this drama is consuming my little brain hahaha. It keeps on playing kasi sa isip ko. Lalo na pag may na-recruit na naman akong kaibigan na manuod tapos pagkwekwentuhan namin ung fave scenes namin. So, opo, ganun po ako kinain ng R88, na sa almost 4 months di pa ako nakaka-move on. Normally after ko manuod ng KDrama, move on agad ako bes.
I watched Reply Series because my student recommended it. So, nagstart ako sa R97 then R94 which is super ganda. Then the last series which is R88. At first episode hinuntuan ko siya because parang hindi ako nagagandahan or mainly naiinis ako kay Bora. Tapos naisip ko, sabi nila maganda, so the other day I continue watching. So ayun na, bakit tinuloy ko? Dahil sa middle child syndrome (I want to write something about this separately)! Noong umiiyak na si Duk Seon, naiiyak na ako dahil sobrang nakakarelate.
In this post, I'll write my fave scenes, ung iniyakan ko, kinainisan (yes, meron po), tinawanan ko. Bilang nagra-ramble yung mga scenes sa isip ko alam kong magiging magulo to (but yes i have to let it go, let it go)
🐐 Bukod sa middle child syndrome, super relate ako kay DukSeon nung umiiyak na siya sa papa niya na bakit wala siyang pangarap while her friends have dreams na ipupursue nila sa college. Ouch, it hit a spot.
🐐 R88, as we all know focuses on strong ties of family. Naaalala ko yung scene na, when Taekki flew from China to compete. May news na may nag-crash na airplane. Kaya sobrang panic ang tatay niya. His father is not showy actually(even Dukseon's) pero grabe that time maiisip mo yung pagmamahal ng mga tatay sa anak, though hindi sila showy (just like my father) pero guys, lagi nila tayong naiisip and gusto lang nila yung ikakabuti natin.
🐐 Funniest scene : etong scene na to maisip ko pa lang nangyari sobrang natatawa ko. Yung audition ni Dong Ryong and Mama Cheetah! Hahahaha. While watching, inaanticipate ko sya bilang alam ko naman na nagkapalit yung audition tape at tape nung nagbebenta ng itlog, so feel ko hindi na ako matatawa. Pero, when the tape plays and Mama Cheetah makes an impromptu. Wala na, finish na!
🐐 Nakakainis na scene : Well, JungHwan here's your trophy! While he is 'confessing' nasa isip ko, "Eto na, moment na nila!" Kinikilig nako. Tapos nung ngumiti siya sa dulo and joke lang pala, girl natulala ako dun!! So after R88 naisip ko na kahit mag-confess siya, gusto na that time ni DukSeon si Taekki, because Taekki treated her well. While JungHwan is 'silently' treating her well. Kasi naman kuya sana sinabi mo na yung suot ni JungBong na shirt eh hindi yung binigay sa'yo ni DukSeon. *Sigh* anyway we nagwagi naman tayo in real life because they are dating for real hahaha.
🐐 Nakakaiyak na scene: Too many to mention! But I'll just pick the wedding of Bora and SunWoo. Bora bought her father a shoes before her wedding without knowing that it is oversized (the past episode naman, she bought her father a shirt na undersized). But her father wear them (same with the shirt). Her father kept on telling her that it's ok. Wala na finish na, insert pa natin yung letter ng papa niya. So realization, kahit ano pa ibigay natin sa mga magulang natin. It's either mahal or mura. Exact sizes o sobra o kulang yung size. Guys, they will treasure it! Magiging masaya sila kahit ano pa yan basta galing sa anak nila.
🐐 One scene na na-touch ako sa gesture ni JungHwan. When Mama Cheetah don't know how to spell her name in English ang JungHwan wrote the spelling in her passport my heart is fluttering.
🐐 Naalala ko bigla yung surprise pa-wedding nila JungHwan sa parents nila then yung plaque of recongnition nila DukSeon sa papa niya.
🐐 Who else thought that SunWoo is the perfect kuya?
🐐 Let us not forget DongRyong, our boy bawang na nagpapatunay may clown tayo isang barkadahan.
🐐 Well, shoutout naman kay JungBong na kapag gusto niya ang isang bagay, sobrang effort at dedication ang ibinubuhos niya. From 1000 pieces na origami at chain mails na sinulat niya hahahah! So happy pa rin naman because nagtagumpay siya sa dulo.
🐐 Thumbs up talaga ako sa writer ng Reply series (same writer ng Prison Playbook and Hospital Playlist, which belongs to my top5 KDramas), Shin PD 정말 감사드립니다!!
🐐 Unlike the 2 reply series, the present scene nila ay reunion nilang lahat while R88's present scene is the adult DukSeon, Taekki, Bora and NoEul. Well, honestly nalungkot ako dun because I expected na makikita ko adult version ng ibang casts. But I came to a relization na we all have this childhood memories na itetreasure natin for the rest of our lives. Sometimes people will remain others will leave but it's the reality. All of us will have separate lives when we grow up, magkikita kita na lang ulit tayo sa reunion, kasal, binyag or even funeral (which is masakit) but I know the hindi mapuputol ung tali na nagdudugtong sa atin.
So after R88, masyado na akong napamahal sa cast until naging #1 oppa ko na si BoGum (보검아 보고싶어). I'm glad na pinanuod ko to. Like hello girl this is a 2016 drama! Bakit hindi ko to nabalitaan?!
P.S. my little brain has 500MB released memory! Honestly I want to rewatch R88 but it will consume my night and this past few days I'm trying to form a habit to sleep at 9 or 10. It takes 21 days to form a habit but 1 day to break it. Kaya nagrereminisce na lang through writing hahaha.
