K-Drama Quotes – Reply 1997/Answer me 1997

Here are some of my most favorite quotes from the K-drama Reply 1997 (Aww I miss this Drama like hell!! 😥 )-

|Episode 1 & 2|

# “At the age of 18, we think we can love anyone … and worry too much about little things. Eighteen. Adults say at this age, we laugh at the simplest things. But at that time, we were serious. Harder and more intense than most adults.” – Shi Won

# “Once we tried to be the same. But one day we started to change. Becoming different people .. why was it so hard to admit it? Everyone is different. That’s the way of the world. The way of growing up. At the age of 18, we were growing up and therefore changing from each other. At the same time we had to confront another growing pain, that of accepting others.” – Yoon Jae (Episode 2)

|Episode 3 & 4|

# “A secret refers to something I don’t know about others… As I find out what I’ve believed isn’t the truth, secrets have more power… Things I believe to be true aren’t always true.” – Shi Won

# “The human mind is infinite. Neither its depth nor its end can be known. They fight to the death some days, and then they show their love and affection for each other. A normally hot-blooded male could become a coward in front of girls.” – Shi Won

# “Yes, the truth is inconvenient. But if we don’t accept that, we have to live with lies. We have to accept inconvenient truths. what we see is not everything.” – Shi Won

reply-1997-quote

# “I knew it then. When you start to like someone, she is all you can think of. And there is no gain without effort. Whatever you want, you can’t get it if you stand still. There is no such thing as fair play anymore.” – Yoon Jae

Summary Of Story –  The story starts with a fire incident and all the firemen who entered the building in the blaze were killed by the fire. The fire incident news report was focused on the story of Kim Ha Myung’s father, chief of the fire brigade sent his men in the blaze and caused them all to die and then he fled the scene as an error of his misjudgement as reported by the news reporter, Song Cha Ok.

The story is about how important news reporting the truth. It revolves about how life’s at stakes if lies are reported as news. *Source dramawiki

My Thoughts- 

The show was unique and exciting. It had drama, romance, emotion, mystery, action, suspense and everything else that anyone would look for in a drama. The story was well handled, there wasn’t too much unnecessary angst or forced romantic scenes. Everything just fell into pieces as the stories progressed. It didn’t just focus on the leading couples and their romances, it explored lots of other issues which made the drama different from what we get to see these days.

Pinocchio Cute momentAccording to me the romance part was just perfect and beautifully executed. It was pure and soothing with lots of emotional and ‘aww’ moments. Some scenes were soo cute that I watched them over and over again. Lee Jong Suk is like the king of Romance. He can execute the romantic scenes soo perfectly that you’ll fall in love with him in an instant. While watching the drama the chemistry between him & Park Shin just melted my heart.

Choi In Ha

Loved the character buildup. Not only the main leads, but other minor characters were portrayed nicely as well. Beside Ki Ha-myung’s character, one thing that I personally loved was how they portrayed the character of Choi In ha. She was a strong character as a female lead, she was tough & confident, definitely not a damsel in a distress. And I also just looved cute Yoon Yoo-rae (Kim Young Kwang). All of their acting was superb as well.

OST was mind blowing. Pinocchio Ost 2 ‘First Love’ sung by ‘Roy Kim’ is my current fav right now. I just cant stop listening to this song. 😛 Fell in looove with Roy Kim after listening to this song. He has such a nice voice omg!! ❤ And the opening song ‘Non-Fiction’ is my another fav. ❤

Story – 8.5/10.
Enjoyment – 9/10
Characters – 8.5/10
OST – 8.5/10

Overall – 8.5 out of 10 From Me!! 😀
