Reply 1988
Although many years had gone by, Reply 1988 is still an insurmountable monument of Korean television. With familiar, close content but still extremely bewitching content, touching viewers with humorous and emotional scenes, this work is not only extremely well-liked by Korean audiences but even professional people also very appreciated.
The film's content tells about the journey of the youth of poor girls and boys growing up in the small neighborhood of Ssangmun Dong, Seoul in the 80s, when Korea was in turmoil due to a series of protests claiming the democratic rights of students. Taking the historical context as a background, but not focusing on exploiting the political aspect, Reply 1988 has shown viewers a life full of deprivations but full of humanity.
Reply 1988 brought a soft message but was deeply engraved in the audience's mind. Parents are always a firm hand to help their children overcome all difficulties in life. Even if they are heartless sometimes, they are always little children who need to be loved. The second highlight of the film is the close friendship of the village. Although they live in want, they always share all the poignant sorrow of life.
