Synopsis:
It’s a story about a couple who’s been together for three
years and now, they have thought of marriage as the next chapter
of their relationship. However, there are a lot of preparations that couples
have to go through which is why the title leaves you with a question mark in
the end. Those hardships include the stress of introducing your family to each other
in order to get used with life of being part of each other’s family. In this
case, Hye Yeon and Jong Hoon is just a normal couple who went through a lot of
ups and downs in their relationship that served as a test to their love.
Now, since we know that we have to consider a lot of things before the day of the
wedding, can we expect a happy ending for them? Most especially that in the
story, their family has the key influence in their lives and most especially, in
their marriage.
Reaction:
I am starting to really appreciate Cable dramas more than
ever. Nope. Scratch that, ever since I saw Reply Me 1997, I thought that it was
the beginning of things changing in favor of cable dramas in the context of
producing and directing quality series.
Yeah, like what has been said, Cable dramas are painfully
awesome that I come to a point wherein I have no interest or faith in dramas
broadcasted by the three big TV stations in Korea like I used to, unless otherwise recommended by many and is approved by the general public through high ratings. But then, yes, I still have a long list of
must-watch from them which I think are 3-5
years old as we speak. With regards to the current trend, cable dramas
are damn amazing.
So to enumerate a few of my favorites aside from Reply Me 1997 are Heartless City and Nine: 9 Times Time Travel while Flower Boy Next Door and Flower Boy Ramyun are for runner ups.
Much of my introduction,
I guess this drama is just purely refreshing to me because I reached
episode 13, I’m up to episode 14 now, without feeling bored or without being
able to predict the ending whether it’ll be a happy ending or not. Though I
felt that after episode 11, everything’s become fast paced. I guess the main
reasons of its unpredictability are the characters in the life and environment
of our couple: friends and family in which both have chances of getting into
picture anytime.
So, basically the story is just not about Jong Hoon and Hye
Yeon but the other significant characters as well whom they truly care and respect
as well. I see it as a good thing because we’re not only confined with the
story of their relationship but the bigger picture of their environment because
I’m a fan with such effort portrayed in dramas. I’m just truly impressed at how
they are able to bring out these circumstances in the series without having to
compromise the story of our couple. Though they may come off as a challenge to
their relationship but more than anything else, it’s because the drama is just
being practical about it. Like, if you can’t deal with the problem now, then when
is the right time to deal with it? That’s real life story in this drama.
I particularly appreciate how they don’t exactly divulge the
feelings of the characters. Unlike in other dramas, we already know what a
person or a character feels for a certain situation, but for this drama they
build curiosity for the audience to keep on guessing what’s going through the
mind of the a person. I thought that it’s interesting because it is able to bring
out the reality from the circumstances; and in application to real life scenario,
we can’t exactly read the personality of each and everyone of us, even with the
closest family member we have.
Furthermore, I felt engaged with the story as well and while
it gives you the real life expectations of getting married, it also an eye
opener about the reality of love. Is love everything that it takes for a relationship
to work? Now, I’d even want to conduct a survey or even a study about couples’ opinion
on the most important attitude of couples for a relationship to last forever. Is it the
security of love? Loyalty? Trust? Or can it be possible to teach yourself how
to love a person in convenience to your business? These questions you’d have somehow
suggest how complicated relationships can get.
