To start out, I wasn't too sure about season 2 after not being a big fan of the summer episodes (season 1). However, I gave this season a chance (after school ended, of course) and ended up falling in love with the show.
It's different than the first season in that the show feels so peaceful and warm in the midst of a cold Jeju winter. Not that the summer wasn't calm, but this season just felt more welcoming, peaceful, and joyful with all the guests that entered the house.
I felt so much joy seeing new guests come into the homestay and felt as if I were one of the workers welcoming the guests to my house. (I even teared up when the guests would leave????)
The workers made me feel at home and even made a huge impact on my life. It's crazy that a show could lift my life but I hope it could leave as much of an impact on you as it did me??
10/10 must watch!! And tell me what you thought about it!

Reply 1994 has a cool and unique concept, as do all the Reply series. I love the vintage style of the series and enjoy seeing the years pass for each show so we get to see the characters adapt to new technology. However, the storyline felt dragged out and the 21 episodes were too long for me. The 1 1/2 hour episodes didn't help the problem... There were a lot of characters and I really enjoyed seeing everyone's story! But the love triangle, or whatever you want to call it, really turned me away from the show. I started to doubt my own thoughts and hate certain characters (not naming names but those show producers are very sneaky). The good parts about the show, though, were the family focus and certain characters that I really got attached to. I actually really liked the main girl even though she started out pretty weird haha :D I liked her quirky attitude and she was just a super unique character for this show. I loved seeing the chemistry between the boarding house parents and all the kids living there. It was truly a feel-good show that I would've enjoyed much more, had there not been such complicated love triangle situations. But that's the point of these Reply shows and it is a cool concept (kind of a mystery feel). So if you like that type of storyline, then go for it, try this show! But remember how long each episode is and stay dedicated to the show (even when it gets super annoying and stressful). It's all worth it in the end of Reply 1994!! (oh and I definitely recommend you watch 1997 first because there are funny parts in this show connected with 1997) Enjoy:)
