Peninsula Entertainment started from Reply 1988

Chapter 88 episodes (including plot, can be skipped)
In early December, TVN broadcast the ninth and tenth episodes of "Reply 1988".

The title of the ninth episode is [So-called Crossing the Line].

The so-called boundary means that it ends there. Keeping that boundary means continuing with the familiar feeling now, which means maintaining the world, rules and relationships there.

It also means that if you don't cross the line, you won't be able to encounter the rules and relationships of another world. If you want a new relationship, if you want to have love, you must cross the line.

If the boundaries are maintained, then the relationship between each other can only go so far.

All the stories in this episode are titled "Crossing the Line".

【Junghwan-Deoksun】

Because there were more human traffickers, Deok-sun was extra cautious on her way home. When she heard footsteps behind her, she quickened her pace. It was not until she arrived at the door of her house that she realized that the person was actually Go Hwan.

(Jung-hwan has been following behind and guarding silently).

Deok-sun got mad and said, “You’re chasing me!”

(She was clearly spotted pursuing him but refused to admit it openly)
As a result, Gou Huan responded: "Who is chasing whom?"

(Knowing clearly that he is pursuing her but refusing to admit it)

These two lines basically set the tone for the relationship between Go Hwan and Deok Sun.

For Gou Huan, he never crossed the line of being friends.

Without this "crossing the line", the relationship will naturally not go any further.

【Aze-Deshan】

The important assist that made their relationship progress by leaps and bounds was Aze’s father.

Deshan's father was a heavy drinker and when he went to Fenghuangtang to drink, he happened to see him faint.

"You are my savior, so I will ask you for one more favor."

Afterwards, Aze's father asked Deshan to accompany Aze to the game.

This is probably what is meant by the bond between father and son. Aze’s father really understands his son best, and he is also the first person to say “Aze likes Deok-sun”.

At that time, Deok-sun’s mother said, “That girl is just a child.” Deok-sun’s father later questioned, “I don’t know if Deok-sun has done a good job,” but Aze’s father said, “Deok-sun will do well.”

In fact, this is true, although Deshan does look unreliable from an outsider's perspective, for example:

When the agent mentioned that Aze didn’t eat before a match, she asked if there was sweet and sour pork;
When she said that Aze didn't come down for dinner, she was eating meat with great relish;

After a night's sleep, I immediately went to the hotel front desk to complain that the bathroom was broken and the room was too cold;

……

But in Aze’s perspective, Deok-sun is the girl who queued up in the freezing cold to buy sushi for him;
The girl who didn’t care about her image and gestured for a long time at the front desk just to change rooms;

The girl who prepares all matching clothes for her trip and lays them out by the bed in advance;
The girl who was afraid that she would be cold at night so she put her own electric blanket under the hotel sheets.

Therefore, Aze wanted to break the "sister-brother boundary" between the two.

When taking the photo, the two of them stood very far apart at first. When no one suggested that they get closer, Aze took the initiative to hold Deok Sun in his arms (he would take the initiative without any external force) and revealed a bright smile that was very rare in front of outsiders.

【Sunwoo-BoRa】

Because Paula's boyfriend is her first love, it is difficult for her to give up on him the first time he makes a mistake, so in the face of his unreasonable behavior, Paula chose to forgive him.

The scene of the two of them talking and laughing while playing together caused a 10,000-point critical hit to Sun Woo who had just returned home from school...

Despite this, Sun-woo has long been accustomed to the harm caused by Bora, so he will only become more and more courageous.

So he took the initiative to buy two concert tickets and wanted to invite Paula to go together.

At this time, Paula, wearing a skirt, once again seriously rejected Sun Woo.

In her eyes, Sun-woo is just "Deok-sun's friend" and warns him not to "cross the line" again.

However, fate is so wonderful.

After Paula joined the "movement", she was thrown into the wilderness and unable to return home. She had limited money and could only make a limited number of phone calls.

The first person she called was her boyfriend. The reason she thought of her boyfriend first was because she didn't want her family to know unless it was absolutely necessary, but the other party didn't answer.

So she had to settle for the next best thing and made the second call home, but everyone in her family happened to have gone to Gou Huan's house for dinner.

The phone at Gou-hwan's house was always busy because Zhenzhu was playing with it, and Dong-ryong's family also came to the party, so all the roads were blocked except for Seon-woo's house.

When calling Sun Woo's house, Bora hesitated for a few seconds.

After all, that was Sun-woo who once confessed to her. What if things were not handled well and a new emotional burden was added?
The favors owed at such critical moments are the hardest to repay.

So Paula kept muttering "Don't answer it" while she was on the phone.

Just when Paula was about to hang up the phone, the call was picked up by Sun-woo who had just walked in.

If it was one second late, there might be no follow-up story; if it was one second late, you might not see the scene of the boyfriend taking a taxi to pick up his green tea "best friend", so the fate between Bora and Sun Woo is so wonderful.

The two sat down and had a meal. Sun Woo knew what Paula's food taboos were, and when she had no appetite, he would ask the kitchen to make two of her favorite fried eggs.

"Sunwoo, you are very good, smart and honest, but...can't we continue like before? I don't want to ruin our relationship, you know what I mean?"

Shanyu's eyes were determined and his attitude was firm. He knew where the line between himself and Bora was, but he just wanted to cross this line to see what Bora looked like in another world.

"I don't want to be friends with Nuna. This kind of relationship has no meaning to me. Let's go to the concert together. Not as Nuna's friends, but as a man and a woman."

The tenth episode is a watershed moment halfway through the plot. It not only clarifies the emotional relationships between many of the main characters, but also lays a lot of groundwork and foreshadowing for subsequent stories.

The main storyline is based on President Kim’s birthday emo and the giant salamander’s birthday emo.

While the story revolves around two main plots, it also intersperses five sweet love stories.

【Aze's father and Sunwoo's mother】

When Aze's father was ill and hospitalized, Sunwoo's mother, who was his sister from the same hometown, took good care of him. The two of them were in the same boat to some extent, as they both lost their other half when their children were young.

In this episode, their relationship has made new progress. Aze's father told her that he never wanted to sit alone to eat again. This can be regarded as a simple confession of the older generation.

From then on, Aze's father no longer called her Sunwoo's mother, but called her Sunying. The two had basically determined their thoughts and were interested in each other, just waiting for the right opportunity.

【Deok Sun and Jung Hwan】

Following her best friend's instigation, Deok-sun comes to test Jung-hwan. She wants to know if Jung-hwan likes her.

She asked, "I have a one-on-one networking event this week. Should I join?"

This time, Jung-hwan, who was very hesitant, gave a straightforward answer: "Don't go. Don't go to the social gathering."

The pink bubble of two people filled the small room, but unfortunately, it was a glass candy.

【Aze and Deshan】

I just mentioned that Deok-sun and Jung-hwan are a close friend because Jung-hwan immediately knew that his good brother Aze also liked Deok-sun.

He has always valued brotherhood, and just as he thought that Sun-woo liked Deok-sun before, his feelings for Deok-sun began to stagnate passively.

The brave Aze began to take the initiative and told his friends without any hesitation that he liked Deok Sun, truly crossing the "sister-brother boundary" between him and Deok Sun.

【Man Yuk and Zheng Feng】

However, Maggie Cheung, who believed least in the romance, met her true love, Kim Jung-bong, which opened up the last love line in Reply 1988. (Maggie Cheung and Jung-bong, people who don’t believe in romance, fall in love the fastest)

The scene of two people holding an umbrella in the rain is very classic and beautiful.

【Bo Ra and Sun Woo】

The story of Sun Woo and Bora vividly illustrates what it means that "a strong woman is afraid of a clingy man."

Paula went to return the concert ticket and came to the library where Sunwoo usually went. She found his seat and decided to put it down, making the three trips back and forth.

The first time he put it between the pages of a book, and the second time he put it on the cover of the book and pressed it with an eraser for fear that it would not be seen. The third time he came back after he left and left a note.

Moreover, Paula was restless and worried while studying for the whole afternoon, and was very concerned about whether the concert was about to start.

It was obvious that she began to care about Sun-woo's feelings, and she began to feel conflicted. She was afraid of missing him but also didn't want to disappoint Sun-woo, so she went back to the library again and saw that it was Go-hwan who was sitting in Sun-woo's seat.

Because she failed to return the ticket in the library, Paula had to go to the concert in person.

Then, Sun-woo saw Bora running towards him breathlessly, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Then, the giant salamander ran away from home, and Paula drove with other friends to pick him up.

When the car stopped, it started raining outside. Before, Sun Woo had only "given an umbrella" to Bora, but this time he was finally able to walk side by side with her and "hold an umbrella" for her.

Because the umbrella was not big enough to cover both of them, Sun-woo protected Bora tightly, fearing that she would get wet in the rain, and his left shoulder got wet.

When Paula noticed the water stains on Sun-woo's body, she was saying that there was "totally no possibility" between the two of them the previous second, but her heart softened immediately the next second.

In the end, Paula's heart was touched, and she took the initiative to wait for Sun Woo on his way home.

Seeing this, Shanyu showed a sly delight on his face, and ran over and asked:

"Is Nuna waiting for me?"

"Well, I have something to tell you."

After hearing this, the feeling of being touched by Paula's willingness to wait for him instantly disappeared.

Because he was afraid that this wonderful feeling would come and go too quickly. He had only been happy for a few seconds. What if Paula still said that there was no possibility for them?
So Sunwoo declined and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

But he never expected that Paula would say next, "Let's date" and "I like you too."

This was also the first time that Paula showed a shy smile like a little woman in the play.

Whether in a relationship or not, Paula is always the dominant one.

But in front of Sun Woo, she seemed to become another person.

Like swimming in a jar of honey, shy little woman.

After Sun-woo in the play confirmed that Bora was not teasing him, he asked directly:
"Nuna, can I kiss you?"

Paula rolled her eyes at her: "No."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the house.

Shanyu just stood there smiling foolishly for a long time and refused to leave the land where they had confirmed their relationship.

……

With the end of the tenth episode, netizens who had been waiting for a long time finally got to see the sweet moments of Sun Woo and Bora.

Online comments also congratulated the first couple to be born.
