[Commentary] Reply 1997

I finished watching Reply 1997 and OH. MY. GOD. I'm left speechless. The script writer must be a fangirl or at least have watched a documentary on us because that drama/sitcom/whatever category it's in was unbelievably accurate. And I'm not an expert in the 90s--heck I barely know about that time period--but somehow I miraculously understood the past trends and lifestyles of the 90s, probably because of how I was exposed vicariously through my parent's stories. But anyway, it's in my top list of best drama's I've watched so far (yes I just watched it for the first time in 2015), so if you haven't watched it, I highly recommmend, especially if you meet the following requirements:

1. You are a fangirl. (Well that's a check for all of you, I assume since you are on a website for fanfiction)

2. Love comedy. (I think that applies to everyone here)

2. Know something about the 90s in Korea or have connection to someone who is knowlegable in this area, so you can ask questions and also be englightened instead of going through the entire drama obliviously.

3. You are physically and mentally mature. There are some scenes where innocent, underaged children should not see. And even if you are underaged and go against my advice, you most likely will be a) traumatized not by the scenes in the drama but by the internet or b) unintentionally ignorant. (Let's hope for option b, but let's aim for NOT watching it if you are underage) This is one of those dramas where the age restrictions in the beginning of every episode actually should be considered. (I wrote "actually" b/c I ignore them, but oh boy did I underestimate. And I also think the age restriction should be more like R17 instead of R15)
