I loved the Series so sooooo much but
---I have many more compliments for Reply 1988
1) I really hoped that Deok-Sun would end up with Jung-hwan for honest reasons. They actually made a good pair, and the future husband gave vibes that he is Jung-hwan. They had good chemistry.
But, Starting with the choice of husband.
I loved Choi Taek in the series for how purely innocent and lovable he was, but it's hard to side with a guy who wasn't present for more than or almost 60% of the show. I do think I am biased for Jung-Hwan because I love him. He was perfect in every way and did things for Deok-sun without telling anyone. He gave the worst case of second lead syndrome ever. Now, when I think about any other actor who played a second lead, I don't feel as sad as I did for Jung-Hwan.
It was heartbreaking to see Jung-hwan confessing his feelings, later on, only to say he was kidding.
2) We did not get any kind of closure for what happened to Jung-Hwan and Dong-Ryong in the end and that breaks my heart.
