Guest iker Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 1) ShiWon is our main gal and she totally has eyes for oppa TaeWoong (which one could possibly argue if it's real love or puppy love at first)Hah, the only person Shiwon had eyes for pre-realization of loving Yoonjae is Tony oppa, not Taewoong oppa.

sheza Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Anyeong chingus. I just caught up with ep 4, watching with subs. I think I am beginning to get drawn into this drama. I am guessing that for the next episode Bora will get into trouble politically and Sun Woo ends up getting involved because he likes her. Sun Woo and Bora's family friendship is going to be tested as Sun Woo's mother won't be able to curb her worries about Sun Woo getting into trouble. Sun Woo is her only son and being a widow and all, I am sure she is more than protective over him and would probably fall out with Bora's mom over the issue. This drama will be more interesting than its predecessor if it can pull off such heart rending drama. I am looking forward to it. I think people just ship who their favourite actor is not caring much about the storyline. I am actually quite neutral about the guys and I cannot understand why we cannot watch it without much ado about the shipping. As it is now, we are sure that Jung Hwan likes Deok Sun and Deok Sun likes Sun Woo. Why can't we just go with what the drama without shipping and let the writer tells the story. I think the writer said that they won't play guess the husband for this series but yet it seems like people still want to play the game. I cannot see Taek or the other friend in the running as now because there is nothing in the story that tells me that now. Maybe the writer is going to change but I trust what whatever it is, the writer will make the characters consistent and plot believable like all the previous Reply dramas.

MrsRyu Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I am curious about homosexual character, possibility is Taek.but, what about if he's Sun Woo?i think about his facial expression and I laugh so hard think this possibility.but, in character profile says Sun Woo had crush on someone already 3 years, that mean its happen where his dad passed away, right?

Can't help myself here but I think that it would make more sense if that girl was Bora given the fact that she can be encouraging and that "older sister/noona" figure like we saw when Deok Sun/Bora's grandma passed away. Also, as a random note, during that study session (I'm pretty hung up on this scene haha), is it just me or does it seem like we're deliberately kept in the dark about who Sun-woo is smiling at? Like we're led to believe that its Deok Sun but really it could have been anyone else at the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gracebkk Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 While watching Reply 1988 I was wondering why JH was called Jeong Pal by his friends at times? Is there a meaning for it or is it just a nickname between them? Do the other OT5 have nicknames too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a meaning for it or is it just a nickname between them? Do the other OT5 have nicknames too?Well, correct me if I'm wrong but, when you divide the characters 정팔 (jeongpal) into 정(fourth) 팔(arm) you get: "fourth arm" which could also be translated as "dog" = JH's nickname.

Guest svl93 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Btw, I don't believe Taek is in the running since they already revealed his family name as "Choi" and tbh his relationship with DS doesn't really give me the "love/crush vibe". I believe the real contender will be SW since they had not yet revealed his family name which sooner or later we'll find out is "Kim" as well...Next, we'll find out the hubby's is also Kim. And that's it, they'll drag with it until the very last episode, however with the developing of the story we'll already know by then that he is no one else but Kim Jung Hwan.Orrrrrrrrrr.. I might be completely wrong and they'll eventually reveal SW's family name as "Kang" LOL*Assumptions* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for hearing me out. I'm with you on this buddy. I'm not against shipping in any way shape or form. In fact, I'm a little guilty at this if anything. Like I have mentioned in my previous post, the chemistry they build around the leads isn't strong enough to make me going cray cray over. I don't really blame them since what they aim at isn't romance but portray the living of people back in 1988, at least for now. Of course, the show would be so dry if there wasn't any romance, so throwing little intimacy here and there is the must. But I have to to give it to the PD, so far they've been keeping the romance very neutral if not so little yet successfully getting our interest remained for the show. Haha hell..actually, now we're all curiously drawn into this relationship mess. I have a really silly question, I think I was lost along the way but did DS grow interest for SW because of the misinterpretation her friends have given about him having something for her, or she already liked him even before that?@sweetypumpkin - That's a potentially good point if Dad's passing and Sun Woo's crush started at the same time…the girl he liked likely played a big role in comforting him during that tough time. Can't help myself here but I think that it would make more sense if that girl was Bora given the fact that she can be encouraging and that "older sister/noona" figure like we saw when Deok Sun/Bora's grandma passed away.Oh dear... your insightful thought here, I love how you look at all the events so thoroughly. Now I kinda wanna know if Bora is really SW's secret crush. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we're led to believe that its Deok Sun but really it could have been anyone else at the table. @umtann92Before the study session with Bora and the kids, there was this scene where Seon-woo asked his mom, Omma, it starts today right? (referring to the tutor group) and he had this beaming smile on his face. It just doesn't make sense he would be that excited if it's Deok-sun or Taek(? haha) or anyone else really. **ETA:Is this also from that photo shoot?

Love1403 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Actually Reply 1988 production team said they will bring back the husband hunt for R88. Even though they said they weren't at first. That's why people are playing along with the husband hunt, and also maybe it's becoming a tradition lol.'Reply 1988' to bring back the 'huband-hunting' plot Sports Chosun - Naver: 'R88' to air its first episode today, 4 candidates in the husband hunt1. [+5,719, -98] They always do this in every single installment. Why not help me find a husband instead?2. [+3,863, -623] I'm nervous of this drama because of Hyeri. They're doing too much media play3. [+2,559, -98] The first guy above is probably the husband. He's unfamiliar but Jung Woo prior to 'Reply' wasn't that of a big name either4. [+1,611, -307] None of them stands out...5. [+444, -24] Tired of the husband plot. Can we please get Lee Ilhwa to divorce, we'd be glad to find him a new husband6. [+346, -21] She ends up with Go Kyung Pyo while Park Bo Gum is the the one-sided love. Is this the writer's trademark?7. [+333, -17] Either Go Kyung Pyo or Park Bo Gum8.

It's fun but I admit that I'm tired of the whole husband mystery thing ㅠㅠ'Reply '94' dragged the hell out of it which was annoying. They said this installment will focus more on family than the husband plot...4. [+2,997, -117] Oh my gosh, we have to hunt for the husband again5. [+1,698, -57] There's a strong possibility that the husband is Samcheonpo's son. There's one who's a student leader and one is an 'umchinah' character.

I might be completely wrong and they'll eventually reveal SW's family name as "Kang" LOL*Assumptions*We don't know the husband's name right? We know the actor playing the husband's name but not the character of the husband. For all we know dude is called Doc Martin. Sunwoo is a contender so long as Duk Seon likes him (better yet, she thinks he likes her so she's decided to like him back). How things play out on that depends on if Bora returns Sunwoo's feelings or not (if or when the supposed crush is revealed). If rejected, he may take some interest on finding out on who his candy leaving secret admirer is. On the husband front I think viewers tend to make it more complicated (and thus a frustrating "trolling") experience than it truly is. The Reply series are pretty simple slice of life stories (despite the media play the writers and such do to attract viewers which is their job so..) that are easy to decipher and follow the formula of most kdramas/rom-com and drama/rom-com in general. It's fun to read theories and make guesses on colors and terrifying dolls and such, but when you get too into the small details you can miss out on the full whole canvas of story (stories) playing out. I find it more enjoyable to watch the writing and characters unfold and just pull me into wherever they are headed. We are only 4 eps in. I trust that whatever happens the writers will do it In a way that makes sense and remains true to the story and its characters. I've watched ep 3 repeatedly to try and learn the dance (minus the gymnastic cartwheels and flips) and it's not easy at all. I bet the boys had a tough time of getting steps and such in sync with one another. I wonder how many takes it took to film that scene. Also do they really hit each other for real during the fights? The Hyeri and Ryu are gonna loose hair and turn black and blue if that's the case. Also I feel for 3 guys for heads (especially Ryu's back scratcher smack) and Dong Ryung that gets such a beating from his dad. Dok Seon's girlfriends are awesome. I just now notice that when the boys walk into the snack shop, they are quick to stop with the dancing, primp, and play it cool. I found it cute and brought back memories of my friends and I trying to look cute/cool/unaffected by the presence of boys back in middle school. Also it's pretty awesome of them to volunteer to save up or have their parents buy Duk Seon her desired Walkman prize when they f-ed up her chances with their boycraze wall jumping (that was one hell of a drop).

wasted_youth Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I'm very curious of what will happen if Bora doesn't reciprocate SW's feelings and she likes someone else later on ( maybe someome who's also in the group, like Dong-Ryeong)? Will they make SW fall for DS? Or will he stick to that one person throughout the series. So many questions when we're only at ep4 This triangle trio looks good too. To think that today is Thursday and we still have another day before the episode airs AND not to forget 3 more days before Beaver's subs going to come out.....

But I think that does not mean her liking him is fake. That can go a long way. It is actually proven in social psychology that people will like you more if they feel you like them back, or they will start to like you if you express you liking them. You just start seeing the person in a different light. IT was very much the case with the two other Replys as well. As for the husband hunt, I know!!! I really did not want to go there after Reply 1994 but it is still there and has kinda become a habit. That said, I am trying to restrain myself because (1) I remember how ugly it turned out for Reply 1994, especially here. The main Reply thread was closed. So I truly want everybody to feel confortable here! I already know that some DS/SW shippers are feeling unconfortable... Please don't run away to the shipper thread and do come here too! and (2) despite the husband hunt game, the writers have put more emphasis on the other characters which I am really thankful for. I find the drama even more touching and beautiful. And OH MY GOD! That video is so cute! So funny at the end how she does the whole sketch Cute, cute, cute!

sarsu Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Ahhh, I really thought/hoped that Bogummie would have the girl this time. but I guess it's fine, I kinda like DS with all of them. So I kinda don't have any expectations anymore who it is that she married. I just enjoy watching this series, lmao cause it's so funny. Esp. Kim Jung Hwan's father. LOL. I think it's even more hilarious because he was sam chun po in reply 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
