Contéstame 1997 (2012)

Bonita y...... call 911

Lo primero que debo decir es que me ha gustado bastante, más de lo que esperaba. Es la primera de las series de 'Replay' que me engancha desde el primer episodio.

No tengo mucho que decir la verdad salvo que es una buena serie, una típica serie para adolescentes/jóvenes (o para quien quiera verlo). Pero sí hay una cosa que debo decir respecto al triangulo amoroso: TURBIO. Es turbio no sólo porque Tae Woong era el prometido de la hermana muerta de Shi Won (que ya es una gran HOLA???) sino que la diferencia de edad es ENORME; no se trata de una relación sentimental entre un universitario y una chica de ultimo año de instituto.... sino de un PROFESOR, un adulto que estaría en los primeros años de sus 30 y una niña que acaba de cumplir 18. Está mal mires por donde lo mires. Una relación en la que el tio se "enamora" de la mejor amiga de su hermano -a la que ha visto crecer lol-..... no sé, creepy.

Las escenas entre Shin Won y Tae Woong antes de que este se "enamorase" de ella me parecían tiernas y bonitas, porque yo lo veía como un mentor para ella, un hermano mayor (que es lo que debería haber sido ejem ejem) , luego, cuando nos damos cuenta de que le gustaba Shin Won las escenas con ella me resultaron perturbadoras e incómodas...

Luego cuando ella le rechaza y es obvio de que no está enamorada de él ni le gusta y él lo sigue intentando???? me ha caído muy mal por eso. Pero el colmo de todos los colmos es cuando tiene la conversación con Yoon Jae en la cafetería y le dice que como es su hermano le quiere mucho y haría todo por él pero no renunciar a una mujer??? eso ya me pareció horrible. Cancelado por pederasta y mal hermano.

En fin, por lo demás, es una serie normal y la recomiendo.


P.D: Una de las escenas más creepys es cuando Shin Won le pregunta a Tae Woong que por qué le gusta y ella dice: es porque me parezco a mi hermana (recordemos que está muerta) y él responde: al principio era eso... PERDONA???? lol

One. of. the. BEST. I. HAVE. EVER. WATCHED.

Before watching this, I would consider a drama on how good it is based on how addicted I was, but even if I wasn't super addicted to Answer Me 1997(maybe part of it is that I didn't watch it while it was airing so I wasn't left hanging every week), everything in the drama was full of meaning and everything just fit together perfectly.

I applaud the writer and director for making such a work of art altogether, I must say.

This drama was different from others, in the aspect that it wasn't the typical cliff hanger every episode and there wasn't really a FIXED storyline, if you know what I mean. It was the story-telling of two first loves that succeeded and their growth together. From high school to adulthood, it was just lovely seeing all the characters grow.

It was full of sweet moments and what I like about this drama is that there isn't some annoying, cockblocking antagonist that was only put there to have a base conflict. The conflict in the drama was more personal, realistic, and relatable which made this drama just seem more "real" I guess. Even if I wasn't into kpop in that time exactly, I still felt the nostalgia and warm fuzzy feeling when they play a 90's or early 2000's song in the background. This drama always got me all emotional all the time haha. The writing was also amazing and even I learned a few lessons watching this drama :)

THE CAST AND ACTING WAS PERFECT. Everyone was so natural and even if Shiwon was a delusional fan girl, I still loved her character. Yoon jae was just sooo.. soo.. dreamy at times. You can see his emotions through his eyes and his intense gaze that's only for Shiwon. When he cries I just cry with him, because it seems so genuine and the pain is visible through his crying. Again, I loved the fact that there was no crazy ass villain in the drama.

The music they played seemed to fit so well with every scene and even if j didn't even know some(most) of the 90's Korean songs I still felt nostalgic. I'm currently looking for all the songs used in this drama because it's that good.

I would highly recommend this drama to anyone who is a sucker for sweet and 'fuzzy' love stories as well as people who are just looking for a drama that's not too heavy. This will take you down memory lane as the beepers and cell phones with antennas are re-introduced. I mean, who DOESN'T love the feeling of nostalgia? Well this drama will definitely give you that feeling.


I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA!
