im not really old enough to be reminiscing about the youth yet, im not even the age of the characters in 1999, however i have my perspective on it.

this drama had such a new storyline that i hadn’t seen before and it had really taught me a lot,
the need to treasure this moment in time. (as a carat i have to reference the song ‘ima - if the world ends tomorrow’)

its very realistic (minus the time travelling), just a middle aged couple going through what many have to go through in life. and such a beautiful reconnection.

now i don’t think i have the right to comment on how tearful it is either as i cry at even the least emotional parts of dramas, but this will definitely make you shed a few tears. the relationship between jin joo and her mother made me cry waterfalls. it really made me reflect on how i should treat and carry on treating my parents now, and even after i get married as nothing lasts forever.

time to talk about the casting. long story short, it was perfect. from the main couple to the second lead, even to the support characters, it was amazing.

nam gil was just so perfectly casted but also written. one of the biggest second lead syndromes ever. he wasn’t snobby, wasn’t rude and was always there for jin joo that sometimes u will wish they get together.

i 100% recommend this drama. its refreshing, makes you think a lot, makes you cry a lot but most importantly makes you smile at how incredible it is.
