I don't know if you have this feeling - there are many TV dramas now, and often several hits can be produced in a month, but we will still encounter drama famine. Although many TV series are good, after the gust of wind, no one discusses it anymore, and there are fewer and fewer good dramas that make people have the impulse of two brushes and three brushes.
But when I was a kid, I could only watch satellite TV, and although the number of TV series was small, a drama could be played many times over and over again.
Twenty-five episodes of Journey to the West accompanied me throughout my childhood.

Twenty-four episodes of "Huan Zhu GeGe" have been replayed dozens of times on Hunan Satellite TV, but it is still enjoyable to watch. As we age, each time we look at it, we can produce a different understanding.

In the era of entertainment first, it is difficult for everyone to calm down and carefully taste a good drama, read a famous book, drink a pot of tea, practice a word... Write a diary.
Everything in the world changes rapidly, we are just a tiny speck of dust in the universe, in the whole society, we are insignificant, but in the hearts of our families and friends, we are especially important. Just like the five families living in Shuangmun-dong, Dopong-gu, Seoul, they have been deeply imprinted in each other's lives, and between them, there is warm affection and neighborhood affection, there is always mutual dislike but can be inserted into the ribs of the knife, there is a green and sweet love.

All five families have a child born in 1971. Deok Sun, Sun Woo, Dong Long, Choi Taek, and Jeong Hwan are good friends who grew up together, and in 1988, they were 18 years old and were in the best of their youth. They shared common interests and idols, and in that innocent era, they shared many good memories.

In this drama, each of them is the protagonist, not only the protagonist of their life, but also the protagonist of your heart. It is worth mentioning that the actors of the parents' generation are all starring in their real names.
Of all the characters in Please Answer 1988, you'll always find a shadow of yourself.
You may be an ordinary girl who is kind and lacks love, or you may be Zheng Huan, who does not express feelings, sullen and poisonous tongue, or Aze who is an idiot and clumsy in life, but is indeed a young genius, or Shanyu who works hard and understands things, or Donglong who seems to be a hanging child Lang is actually wise and transparent.
At the beginning of 1988, such a scene is depicted, several friends sit around in a small room, watch Zhang Guorong's "The True Colors of Heroes" together, eat snacks together, and dislike each other together. Although it does not belong to the same era and does not belong to the same place, we can also see our own youth in this Korean drama.

The biggest attraction of this play to people is that it can make you reflect on yourself, just like when you read a book and see some words or some touching moments, you will think of things that have happened before, so as to resonate. It depicts only ordinary small things that are really experienced between ordinary families in daily life, but it is no exaggeration to say that every picture or every line in it will inadvertently touch your heart, making people suddenly have a sour nose and even tears.
Please answer 1988, please answer, my 1988, please answer, my youth. They didn't really need an answer, every answer they had ever desperately wanted was hidden in their deepest and most brilliant memories, and they warmed their hearts countless times in the long years that followed.
