I was putting off this show for a long time because it was a family drama, and I believed it was overhyped, but oh man, I was utterly wrong. It's such a bittersweet story about youth and relationships; it made me tear up almost every episode. I do have certain parts I didn't like; I was not a fan of the romance. Also, not going to lie; I did watch on 1.5x after episode 15.
Episode 20 made me cry my eyes out like a baby; the last 10 minutes give you a painful but sweet closure to the beautiful story about the Ssangmundong neighbourhood. Sounds funny coming from a 19-year-old, but it makes you want to sit back and think about your childhood. A very memorable experience overall.

I love the title 'Reply 1988', it wasn't until the last 10 minutes of the show that I understood what it meant. Bonus is the music; I added so many songs to my playlist after watching the drama!
