The pacing needs a little work and there are too many filler scenes but overall I am really enjoying it, there are lots of laugh out loud moments. And I may have gone overboard on the gifs...

Date: 2013-10-21 05:58 pm (UTC)I did kind of love the twisty in episode 2, with oppa not being her blood related oppa, and I'm curious to see how that's going to work out. I'm already hella invested in their relationship, mostly because they're just so close that it's hard to see how anyone else (Chil-dong) is gonna be able to get in between them.
all in all it does feel a lot like 1997 rehash, college flavor, but I'm still happy with it. most importantly, it still has that nostalgic and hearty feeling – there's nothing like the 90s to make me feel at home.

Date: 2013-10-21 05:59 pm (UTC)I'm a little disappointed that they're using the same methods as last year "OMG WHO'S THE HUSBAND" ugh please be a little original. And yeah, too mane fillers, I want the story !!!
Anyways, I had so much fun watching the episodes, the way Na Jung and Trash bicker is the best.
(Yes too many gifs girl, it takes for ever to load.)

Date: 2013-10-21 06:26 pm (UTC)Anyway, I am IN LOVE with the show! Some scenes do seem a bit slow, with the dialog running on a bit. But I feel like Answer Me is a slice of life drama, so in that sense I feel that the meandering conversations, while not necessary to the overarching plot, feel true to life. I like that scenes are given room to breathe, and we're not rushed from scene to scene, nor rushed through each scene.
I adore Najung. She's loud and spunky and I love how Go Ara is playing her. The winking-and-giggling-to-herself-while-drunk cracks me up so much. Jung Woo is fortifying my love for him as Garbage, ugh. I die for characters like him, so dependable and kind.
Samcheonpo and his mom warm my heart. And how much do I love that awkward and stiff Samcheonpo is bonding with laid back easygoing Haetae?

Date: 2013-10-21 06:51 pm (UTC)idk i am liking the feel of this drama more than its predecessor, so far. i don't even mind the filler scenes tbh.

Date: 2013-10-21 06:52 pm (UTC)also it makes me happy that ahra has a good project after being so overlooked for so long.
but ngl i was dissapointed with the brother plot twist, for now i liked better when they were siblings i loved their bond.
no subject
Date: 2013-10-21 07:09 pm (UTC)go ara is doing a good job with na jung, i love that they got the same actors for the parents and the rest of the cast seems good too.
the boarding house/college setup has so much potential to be amazing, i can't wait for the next episodes.

Date: 2013-10-21 10:54 pm (UTC)The first two episodes weren't stellar in any sense, but then again I didn't really get into Answer Me 1997 until after the fourth episode or so.
I didn't realize that Jung Woo not being her real brother was a surprise. I could have sworn Dramabeans wrote an article about them not being related.

Date: 2013-10-21 11:59 pm (UTC)i do like how the writer lays out the drama, step by step, building up to a resolution at the end of each episode though, which i loved in 97. the list of potential suitors started off with the obvious candidates, and then bam, oppa's on that list too.

Date: 2013-10-22 12:35 am (UTC)The pace in episode one was kinda slow but enjoyable nonetheless.
Absolutely love Ara here because I never thought she's a good actress before.
She did a really good job as Na-Jung.
Na-Jung and Trash's relationship cracks me up, their bickering and violence towards each other is hilarious.

Date: 2013-10-22 04:58 am (UTC)Although the pace was kinda slower than Relpy 1997, but I'm still in (and still laughing irl) for this drama. I can't wait for the Tiny-G girl's acting as a Seo Tai Ji fan and her interaction with Haitai <3.
I didnt notice that Na-jung is Go Ara untill I finally look at her face reeeaaalllyy close. She did say that the character she's playing now is a challenge, which I took that as her past characters were boring?

Date: 2013-10-22 05:39 am (UTC)That being said, I was skeptical at first - Najung's brand of fangirling is different from Shiwon's so I wasn't sure if I would find it as easy to enjoy this series. That plus the fact that there weren't a lot of names I recognized to pull me in to watching had me worried (when 1997 first aired, I gave it a try mostly because of Eunji/Inguk/Hoya), but I'm already waiting for Ep. 3. The acting's good, the characters are loveable/relatable and the storyline is honest. I have a soft spot for stories about country youth trying to make their way in Seoul, mostly because that was my dad's life and it reminds me of him, so I'm probably a bit biased there haha
Overall, I'm already in love, I don't think it's overly similar to 1994, and I'm going to continue watching, if only to figure out which one I ship more, NajungxTrash or NajungxChilbong
