Answer me 1997

This is suppose to be the first installment of Answer Me series but by chance I watched the 2nd installment 1st though there are no links between the 2 shows.

Answer Me 1997 is set in Busan telling stories of 6 high school students that happened when there were 18. Similar to Answer Me 1994 or vice versa, the story moved back and forth their present life in 2012 and 1997 and leave you guessing the love line and only announcing in the last episode.

This show is seriously good and even better than its sequel, the only thing is per episode is only 30min. Too short in my opinion.

Love how the lead actor secretly carried a torch for the lead actress all the while irritating the hell out of her unintentionally. When he eventually muster up the courage to confess, his brother beat him to it and he cowardly or should I say nobly backed out of the love triangle and avoid meeting her for 6 years. The story continues after they met 6 years later and the things that happen and eventually leads to the couple getting together.

I especially love the lead actress of her portray of being sassy and her funny life long dream of marrying her idol which nearly drove her dad to his death. I never quite understand how these fan girls got so crazy over their idols since my mum totally make sure I am never one of these fan.

She threaten to kill us from young should she catch us doing crazy things because of idols. Because of her constant threatening, I believed that the 3 of us never got the nerve to do anything and eventually grew out of the phase of idolizing someone. Haha.

The parents in this show are the same as the pair in Answer Me 1994 and yes, they play a part in making the show more interesting than it already was. The constant bickering between dad and daughter but unspoken love when the dad was diagnosed with cancer was a superb performance by the casts.

Oh and I stumbled across a new Korean singer in this show, the lead actor -Seo In Guk. I think he sang in episode 12 and found him pretty good in singing. Later then I know he was a singer. I actually thought he was an actor since I saw another show with him being the lead actor too.

Well, watching this show certainly brighten up my otherwise low period recently. Now, I would have to search another show to watch to pass time.
