I started watching this a few days ago because I wanted to see howon. Before this, I already knew some of the scenes because I saw the clips before. But, I was still pretty surprised, because some of those scenes happened way earlier in the drama than I thought (which would be at the end, or at least nearing the end) Honestly, I don't really watch dramas set in like around the 90s cause I wasn't too interrested. And though yeah, I still agree with that, as I still don't really want to watch the other reply series even after watching 1997, I guess it was written pretty well, and it was pretty interesting to see how it was like back then in that year. And honestly the story was interesting enough for me to continue and I honestly liked that it was less than an hour mostly. Near the end, suddenly it became longer from near an hour to actually an hour, so idk it felt a bit tiring (?) and felt a little bit too draggy (?) but maybe thats just me... idk it was pretty good though for a drama released 11 years ago, I don't usually really want to watch older dramas,,,
