Reply 1994 (Hangul: 응답하라 1994; RR: Eungdabhara 1994) is a 2013 South Korean television series starring Go Ara, Jung Woo, Yoo Yeon-seok, Kim Sung-kyun, Son Ho-jun, Baro, Min Do-hee, Sung Dong-il, and Lee Il-hwa. It aired on tvN on Fridays and Saturdays at 21:55 from October 18 to December 28, 2013 for 21 episodes. Its final episode garnered an average viewership rating of 11.9%.
It was written by Lee Woo-jung and directed by Shin Won-ho, the same team behind the 2012 hit drama Reply 1997.
Set in 1994, six university students from various provincial areas of South Korea (Jeolla Province, Chungcheong Province, and Gyeongsang Province) live together at a boarding house in Sinchon, Seoul, which is run by a couple with a daughter named Na-jung.
Like its predecessor, Reply 1997, it follows a non-linear story telling where it shifts between the past in 1994 and the present in 2013, making the viewers guess who will become Na-jung's husband among the male characters.
The series follows the pop culture events that happened between 1994 and the years that follow, including the emergence of seminal K-pop group Seo Taiji and Boys and the Korean Basketball League.
I thought as a child
I'd feel like an eagle
Rain on the windscreen
I'm captured in technical solitude
The higher I am
The closer I'll be to the hole in the sky
And all the words unspoken you told me
Soon they'll fade away
Riding on top of the clouds
Up into the gleaming gold of an afternoon
I set my controls for the heart of the sun
To reach for the stratosphere
The higher I am
The closer I'll be to the hole in the sky
And all the words unspoken you told me
Soon they'll fade away
Time's never been on our side
The haze between death or alive
Revealing the secrets of life
