In terms of having fleshed-out, memorable and characters, 1988 is the best one. (1994 is notable for using Korean regional dialects that defined its characters. For 1997, well, you have Sung Shi Won.:D ) In terms of pacing, 1997 was the best. 1988 episodes felt too long. 1994 is a must-watch if you want to know how the 3 Reply shows are connected.

- Chocolate Impulse. Chocolate Impulse was a 'hoax zine' created by Jim and Debbie Goad, publishers of Answer Me!Wanting to address the negative feedback they'd received from the zine community, the Goads wrote and distributed a pseudonymous screed against themselves (in which they claimed to be the lesbian couple 'Valerie Chocolate' and 'Faith Impulse'), going so far as to set up a fake.

Synopsis
This drama will focus on the extreme fan culture that emerged in the 1990s when idol groups took center stage and K-pop was blossoming.
It tells the story of 6 former high school friends from a school in Busan who meet again in 2012 and brings back memories to 1997 when they were still high school students. Moving back and forth between the ’90s and today, the story centers on the life of Sung Si Won (Jung Eun Ji), who idolizes boyband H.O.T. and her 5 high school friends.
