Flagged this show because I saw someone turn Horace and Pete, a Paul Simon-written song, three times across the years. What kind of mood is this, to still think of this drama in different years? Is it because of the plot? Or because of life? How could someone watch this show three times?

It's very plain to enter the plot, but this kind of plain life is different from the feeling that "Please Answer 1988" gave me. I am a person who is nostalgic and nostalgic. Who wouldn't like a more youthful and beautiful character with good acting skills as the main body of a play? It's better than watching a group of bald, fat and mourning middle-aged people as the protagonists. However, "Reply 1988" no matter how the plot integrates various childhoods after 708090, although it happened in South Korea, the particularity of the "Asian Community" still allowed me to see many familiar scenes, such as the most The favorite Mr. Leslie Cheung, the familiar melody of Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, the chatter of those neighbors, like the soft words of Wu Nong in a small village in the south of the Yangtze River, evoked memories in the ears.

However, I couldn't watch it. To say that there is no resonance, it is not entirely true, but perhaps the environment of growth is far from being so lively and does not like noise. Maybe it's too good, and the nature of life is not like that at all.

And this most mourning comedy in history, "Hundred Years Tavern", such a distant life, forced me into the plot. It's not like the resonance of a similar life, but that kind of spiritual and emotional empathy will be there.

Yes, life is so fucked up. That's fucked up, and tm boring.

But you still hope that in this world, or in your world, there can be such a century-old tavern, which accommodates all the misery in your life, it always stands, and it is always there. It doesn't give you comfort, it doesn't give you positive energy, it just exists, and you don't need to pretend in front of it.

It's a tragedy in itself, but you know, it's been a hundred years after all.

Horace and Pete quotes

  • Tom: Just accept the fact that love is rare and it probably won't happen to you, ever.

  • Tom: You can't. That's why they call it falling in love. You can't fall on purpose.
