Hello I
am back with another review about a Korean Drama called Answer Me 1997. This
show came out in July 24, 2012 through Sep 18, 2012. The length of every
episode is about 40-50 minutes and it has only has 16 episodes.
Answer
Me 1997 is based on 6 former high school students. They all go back to their
high school reunion and just meet up with all of their past classmates. The
drama goes from the present back to the past to 1997 were they are remembering
their high school years. The drama is mainly based on Sung Shi Won who is a
major H.O.T fan girl. Yoon Yoon Jae is her childhood friend who starts to have
a big crush on her but she doesn't really realize it. Yoon Yoon Jea has an
older brother Yoon Tae Woong he was to get married to Sung Shi Won’s older
sister but many things happen. Mo Yoo
Jung is Shi Won's best friend and she ends up liking the enemy of the group
H.O.T and ends up liking the new boy in school who is kind of shy around girls
and who sells pornography to his classmates his name is Do Hak Chan. Kang Joon
Hee is gay and he has a secret crush on Yoon Yoon Jae. Lastly Lee Shi Un who
just really wants a girlfriend and doesn't really care about school. So, in the
whole drama we see the ups and downs of their friendships and relationships and
see them grow up until their present life. 
I loved
this drama it was really wonderful. At, first I was really hesitant to watch
it, it just didn’t seem good and I just thought they it was going to be a
suicidal type of drama and it was going to be really depressing. But, after
watching it, it was totally the opposite of what I thought. It had many funny
and sad moments. I loved how Shi Won who is played by Jung Eun Ji who is from
the kpop group A Pink and in the show is a big fan girl. I felt that many kpop
lovers who freak out for their favorite groups could relate to her. The thing
that made it amusing was that she was a sengsang fan which is a crazy stalker
fan. She cut herself to write a letter for Tony with her own blood and she also
stayed many nights outside of Tony’s house waiting for him. I felt bad for Yoon Yoon Jae who is played by
Seo In Guk because he was always bullied
and made fun of by Shi Won and he was practically in love with her but she was
so oblivious to it. I felt that she had the same feelings for him too but she
never really realized it. My favorite character was Joon Hee who is played by
Hoya who is from the kpop group Infinite he was gay but no one really realized
it until the end and he had unrequired love for Yoon Jea. He had to suffer a
lot seeing his love being in love one of his closest friends. I really liked the couple of Do Hak Chan who
is played by Eun Ji Won who was in a really famous kpop group in the 90s called
Sechs Kies and Bang Sung Jae played by Lee Shi Un. There is a scene were Shi Un
is crying in the bus then Hak Chan appears and consoles her awkwardly but it’s
very cute. The only thing that I did have a problem with is with Yoon Jae’s
older brother who was after Shi Won and that really creeped me out and got on
my nervous.
I give
this drama a 9 out of 10 monohorns. The reason I don’t give it a perfect score
is that the older brother liking his younger brothers love and actually going
after her really got in my nervous. I wish the drama didn't add that. I felt
that they could have done it with another guy who wasn't Yoon Yoon Jae’s older
brother who also wasn't a teacher when they were in high school. But, I really loved
the rest it really did have some serious moments with the older brother and I also
liked that they made many references to the 90s. I feel that anyone would like
this especially if you want something humorous with some romance. That’s all I need
to say see you next time. Please check out my previous blog which was about
