Are there any others who really didn’t care about the husband hunting in 1988? I don’t blame people for caring because hey, the writer put it in and wanted you to care to keep watching, but there was SO much more to the story than the romance. It actually irritates me to read the comments on the 1988 recaps and see SOOO many people just going back and forth talking about the loveline when there was so much more to talk about. I don’t know.
When I watched Reply 1988, I cared about the husband hunting mainly because I wanted to know if my guess is right, buy you’re right. Reply 1988 offers so much more rather than just the love storyline. This drama has everything that I could ask for: friendship, love, neighbour relationship, family etc. It’s my favorite drama of all time. This drama gives me so much laughter and cry at the same time. To me, this drama is realistic and perfect.
I was spoiled about who the husband was before I started, but when I watched it I realised the husband riddle isn’t as central as it is in 97. So I was quite surprised, like you, to find the comments were very focused on who’s the husband.
I don’t actually consider the love triangle characters the lead characters; it’s really the story of everyone living on that street, and all different kinds of love, not just romantic.
I completely agree. 🙂 The family dynamics and friendships between everyone in that alley definitely were the focus of the show. I cried a few times throughout the show and not a single time was because of any sort of romance. I cried because of Bo-ra and her dad, I cried because of Jeong-hwan and his mom, I cried because of the family connection that developed between Seo-won and Taek’s respective families. Never because of the love triangle, though.
The family angle was really good and I think it was the main thing about the show. I dropped it after the episodes started becoming 1 hour 44 minutes in length. Other than that, I really liked it.
I didn’t really care for it in the whole series tbh. 1988 (so far for me, I’m halfway into the series) is working to be my favourite in the series because they don’t just focus on the romance and the mystery, but family and friendships between the kids and the adults and that makes it great.
