Answer Me 1994
Dec. 29th, 2013 10:22 pmLast year there was this amazing K-drama called Answer Me 1997 / Reply 1997 that I gushed about here after I watched it (for the record, it's still probably my all-time favorite), and when I found out they were going to be doing a spin-off called Answer Me 1994 / Reply 1994, I was ridiculously excited! I mean, it would be a different story, but I had high hopes (that I tried to keep low) since it would be written and produced by the same people. I waited on watching it while it was airing because I just don't really have the patience to follow along, but I did download the episodes as they came out and finally decided on watching it the last couple days since the timing would be good right since I took some time off work for the holidays. So on Christmas, my brother and I began our Answer Me 1994 marathon and we finished the series yesterday which was great since the last episode aired yesterday. Sadly, the drama left me a little disappointed. =/
Answer Me 1994 is about a group of students from the country coming to Seoul for college and they all live together in the same boarding house. The whole who's the husband thing is present in 1994, but they do a better job of keeping the mystery up until the bitter end. x_x This, along with the extended length of the series, contribute to the show being a giant letdown. x_x
( SPOILERS AHEAD, because I need to vent a little... )
In the end, I wouldn't say it was the worst show, but it defnitely isn't as good as the original. I could rewatch AM1997 and still have feelings of love, but I can't even imagine wanting to rewatch AM1994 because it just dragged. And, if you are considering watching it, 'cause it's not a bad show, I suggest you go in knowing who the husband is first before going in, to save yourself some heartache from rooting for the wrong guy, like I did. (And even then, your heart still might ache like mine, lol.)
