Reply 1997

In July 2012, at the 38th class reunion of Gwangan High School in Busan, 33-year-old Cheng Si-won (played by Jung Eun-ji), who has been working as a TV writer for 10 years, and his former friends recalled their high school days full of youthful restlessness. Surrounding Shiyuan's family and her friends, the curtain of memory is gradually opened in the intertwined narratives. Back in 1997, Siwon was 18 years old and fanatical about H.O.T. There was a pair of parents who quarreled but loved each other deeply. They were silently guarded by their childhood sweetheart Yun Yunzai (played by Seo In Guk) without knowing it. The two are surrounded by friends with different personalities such as Kang Junxi (Lee Ho-won), Do Ho-chan (Yin Ji-won), Mao Youzhen, Fang Shengcai, etc. Their mentor is Yunzai's outstanding brother Taiyong (Song Jonghao). At that age when they could risk their lives for a trivial matter, the six friends experienced the growth and transformation of friendship, family and love together, and gradually chose different life trajectories. Fifteen years later, they gather again at the class reunion table, and their respective life directions and emotional destinations will be slowly revealed... The whole drama is set in Korea in the 1990s when H.O.T and Crystal Boy were active, and it reproduces Korean fan culture and high school life in detail and vividly. Busan is used extensively in the play
