Reply 1997 (edited twice)

really caught up with reply 1997 recently.
its other names include 'answer to me 1997' and 'respond 1997' hahaha.
omg it's a great show, in terms of their presentation and the script which depicts human emotions perfectly.
their presentation is really new, which brings you back and forth time, whether it's the past, present or future.
not that you time travel, but shows you what is relevant.
it may be a little confusing, but they write the timeframe at the start of the scene so it's clearer.
i really love their lines, which i can very much relate.
it's a short drama, with only 16 episodes.
and there is this line which i really like, in chinese because chinese subs is all i can find,
"因为别人的心很容易就看到,而我却不懂我的心。"
if i loosely translate it, it means,
"because it's easy to look into other's hearts, but yet i don't understand mine."
i feel that way too, feel that it's easy to tell what others are thinking.
but yet i dun quite yet understand myself fully despite living with myself for 20 almost 21 years now.
ahh, korean dramas always have beautiful lines, or rather simple lines which is cute, funny, direct and straight to the point.

/edit
another line:
"你们要多挣钱,也要多制造回忆才行。只拿着钱是不会高兴的。"
 in english,
"You need to earn lots of money, but also make lots of memories. With only money, you won't be happy."

/edit again
toooooo many lines that are ought to be framed, and yet all these are only from one ep, the last ep but previous eps sigh have so many beautiful lines toooo.
and just to let you know, it may be a huge spoiler for you so i advise you to just go watch the drama hahaha.
i'm only recording all the lines for myself to read back in the future okayyy!!!
"初恋,每个人的初恋都那么美丽的理由,不仅是因为初恋的他多么美丽,可能是因为那初恋的时间里有我不成熟的年纪,有无比天真的我和热情无比的你,还有知道再也不会回到那个年轻纯洁的时光了。初恋是天真的,没有准确的计算,用纯真和热情把一切都抛弃掉。结果会失败,可是才是最好的,是一个再也不会拥有的体验和感情交杂的故事。所以初恋是我人生中最好的电视剧,所以失败了也可以。比起喜剧,悲剧留下的结果是更长的,所以把一部失败的悲剧电视剧留在我心中的一个角落里是一个美丽的事。初恋是一个时期,过去了,就过去啦,现在要给新的时期和新的爱情一个机会。虽然不是初恋的体验和纯真,但是要用初恋的创伤而成长和成熟的你去等待大人的爱情。只有等待的人才能去爱,还有只有等待着的人才能在新的机会面前奇迹般认出他。浪漫结束了,生活就来了。纯洁变脏,热情会冻结,年轻也会变老,所以纯洁的初恋也会变成日常生活。这才是初恋看起来不会成功的理由。谁也不会说出初恋成功的浪漫。就那么成功也好,虽然在我心里已经是一个悲剧,但是比世上任何地方都安逸熟悉,等到过于熟悉是拿出来也会有心动的感觉。从鼻涕虫朋友开始到初恋,再到恋人,最后夫妻。我们经过了同一个时期,有着同一个回忆,一起变老。熟悉的心动,真好。热情纯真的时候,所以真的很想念。"
ahhh it's such a long para i know. hahaha but it's more so of the male lead's reflections. esp the last second para. heh.
and i really love how this drama is able to link up everything together :')
i love this kind of dramas/books because it shows how tender and attentive the scriptwriter/director/author is, jumping everywhere but yet at the end of the day, all the puzzle pieces fit nicely together :')
for all the people who don't really wanna watch the show and wanna know the looooong paras above in eng, i shall attempt to do so below,
"First love, the reason that everyone's first loves are beautiful, is not only because the him/her is beautiful, but maybe because during that time, it consists of me at an immature age, with the extremely naive me and the extremely passionate you, and also the knowledge of never being able to go back to that time of youth and purity.First loves are naive, with no accurate calculations, and throwing everything else away with just naivety and passion. The end is a failure, but that's the best. It's a story where all kinds of mixtures of feelings which you will never experience. Therefore, first love is the best drama of my life, so it's okay if it fails. Compared to comedies, the effects left behind by tragedies are longer, therefore leaving a failed tragedy in a corner of my heart is a beautiful thing.First love is an era, when it's over, it's over. Now it's time to give a new era and a new love a chance. Even though it is not the experience and purity you have in first loves, but you will need to use the maturity and growth you gained through the pain of first love to wait for the love of a grown up. Only the people who are waiting are able to love, and only the people who are waiting then miraculously be able to recognize him/her when the opportunity is presented.When the romance ends, the reality of life comes. Purity becomes filthy, passion freezes, and the young becomes old. So even the pure first loves will become daily life, and this is the reason why first loves would never seem to work. Nobody would ever talk about the romance of the first loves which did.But it's fine that it worked, though it's already a tragedy in my heart, it's the most secure and familiar place in this world. Beyond the extremes of familiarity, there is also the feeling of heartthrob. From mucus friends to first love, then from lovers to at last being married. We have been through the same era, with the same memories, and then grow old together. The familiar heartthrob, that's great.It's the time of passion and naivety, so I really miss it."
