When I started watching this drama I had many prejudice, after seeing reply 1997 I was afraid to watch something that had pratically the same plot! That is indeed true the plot is the flaw of this drama.. but at the end I was totally hooked by this drama. The reason is that the actors are really amazing! They are really able to make you feel the characters emotions! Amazingamazinamaaazing really, I never tought that Go Ah ra was such a great actress! I'm not the type of person that would rewatch a drama, but in the case of reply 1994, I would make an exception! So if you are afraid to start watching this drama, because you have probably alredy watched reply 1997, give it a try just watch the first 3 episodes and I'm pretty sure you will tottaly enjoy the rest of the drama ! (I say the first 3 episodes, since for getting rid of my prejudice towarad this drama, those were the amount of episodes I needed)
