AHHHH SO EXCITED!!!!

Aww yeahhhh! Jung Eun Ji <3 Also is it just me or are those pics of oppa being all oppa with Eun ji freaking adorable! Can't wait to see this!

I couldn't contain myself when I saw their appearance. :( I missed Answer Me 1997 so much, their friendship, their story, their characters, etc. Seeing all them again being fun and laughing remind me why this group of friends means something to me. I love everyone of them. And my guess why Hakchan isn't there, it is because he haven't move to Busan yet. Yoojung' hair is still long. I think the timeline is before or between the events in episode 1 and 2 of AM97

Reply 1997 will always be my sentimental favourite. Loved it, from the first episode to the last :')

Eunji wattaaaaaaaaa!! Triple yay!!

Oooh Exciting. Now I'm imagining a world where Answer Me 1997 and 1994 are one drama. A 200+ episode drama that airs everyday...Totally willing to look over the same parents thing...A girl can dream

I bet Hoya will be Binggeure's partner in 2013. They would be both doctors in 2013..

Wait...what is Binggure saying in that preview???

So, are they going to do a split screen and have the parents visit the parents??

Aw, Jiwon would be perfect for a cameo since Hak-chan was still living in Seoul during this time frame. Sad face. I loved him. I would love a scene of Yoon-Jin threatening his life or something to explain why he is so afraid of girls.

Unpopular opinion: I'm loving A1994 more than A1997

I really liked A1997, but I'm loving A1994. I even watch episodes raw, I didn't with A1997.

I admit the time, execution and editing was better in A1997.

But the thing is with A1997 I just cared about the main couple in A1997 (I used to FF in some scenes that weren't main couple - never liked silly guy much - I prefer CP tbh - and I never liked second couple much because all they did was breaking up and fighting and got old fast. JH though was my fav character from Answer 1997 - I think Hoya did a better job than Baro is going. )

About fangirling: Everyone complained at first that basketball wasn't an exciting plot and they hoped they didn't focus on it too much, now that they aren't they are asking Bassketball back.

Najung is 24 old an adult already, now that story is in 1996 - she is 26 old, of course the fangirling should be toned down, because it would be strange no? She still has her fangirl moments but not like SW, that was still a teenager.

In 1994 I care for everyone. Second guy is better in Answer 1994, look the fanwars, people are going crazy about it. On answer 1997, it was easy because the OTP was clear. And the writer made things hard to ship TW, because he dated SW sister.

The parents are just awesome as they were on A1997.

What if, what if Binggeure's character is the future love interest of Hoya's... Omona

OMG can't wait. I loved 1997 a lot more than 1994.

So excited!!!!

I like to see both stories cross path, but hope it is executed in a natural way not just to have them meet...

Read comments that Appa and Omma are now parents of Sung Shiwon and Sung Najung... such alternate universe setting.

Ah I miss them kids... hope the cameo is full of cute and win!

Sigh, can people please stop comparing the two. Everyone's taste is different, this would be a boring world if everyone's taste is the same. So which is better than the others, it is very subjective. You can't be objective for something like that. But I think AM1994 is more popular and more successful than AM1997, right? There you go. However my love will always belong to AM1997. And I'm happy that the crews in AM series didn't forget them, because they give us AM1997 cameos even after they got bigger success. And everyone else I know are pretty much excited about the cameos.

i hope there will be Answer Me 1997 Season 2 in future.

personally i like 1997 better than 1994. probably because the rom-com in 1997 was very good and i like their chemistry.

1994 is good too, i am enjoying watching it .

comparing those 2 dramas , well i can say that it will never stop, because those 2 drama having similiar name/title, with same pd and same tv station. its just the nature thing when someone do the comparing thing.

OMG, that's just awesome! I'm only on to ep 3 now, but I might spoil myself and watch ep 16 first!

I wanted to quit this show. I really do, because it is doing horrible things to my sanity. But now the casts from AM1997 are cameo-ing? Ah, show, why are you doing this to me...
*sigh* Am torn now.

Reply 97 is better i shipped otp all the way. Reply 94 getting upsetting cause its not ng and cb. I gave up cause it was unbearable to see yys so sad and miserable while trash and ng snuggle all the way. I still get the sibling vibe. And the dragging...

'94 also lost their nostalgia of the basketball theme somewhere along, but i'm still loving it.

I love 94 for Trash oppa, but '97 was WAY more nostalgic for me. It SO brought me back to my youth!! '94 is nostalgic, but I don't identify with that era; granted, it's only a few years apart, but the theme of kpop starting its boom and the characters just make a better drama for me.

I still love both, but I love '97 a LITTLE bit more.

The guessing of the husband has become annoying to me for '94 and Chilbong just doesn't do it for me. He's got no oomph like Oppa does.

Well, even though many people prefer 1994 than 1997, the fact that the 1997 cameos brought back many feelings to people and make everyone excited means that this cast is memorable. Even allkpop stated "Reply 1997 Unforgettable Cast".

I watch both drama and love them evenly. Can't wait to see AM94 casts in AM94... :)

I was so happy to read whole cast cameo...
then read that no Eun Ji Won.... sad...
but i guess if it was in 1996 he was back in seoul...

I love both am97 and am94 . This is the first time I feel that both series are good out of any drama prequel/sequel thing

GOSH! I waited for this day too long. The only reason for me to watch 94 is the 97 casts' appearances :)

I love Answer Me 1997!
Oh how I missed those two~!!!

To be honest, I feel like 94 could have been better in every single way had it not been for the bloody length. If it was down to 45 minutes everything would have been so much sharper and better paced. Plus it really didn't need 21 episodes.

In regards to the love triangle thing, I don't know... Like I know everyone complains about it, and I agree that it does receive way too much spotlight. But 1997 dragged on their "love triangle" until the very end as well. The only difference there is that everyone knew Yoonjae was gonna be the husband and WANTED Yoonjae to be the husband. The romance with them revived way more spotlight, which is why the secondary characters weren't as fleshed out. Also like, I don't know what people mean about romance being NJ's life and this somehow being different to 97, because although Siwon was gr8, Yoonjae hardly had anything else going on with him in the later part of the series other than pining over Siwon.

In regards to 1994, the fact both are serious contenders and there are passionate fans for both sides, seems to be what's frustrating people. In Reply 1997 you just went along for the ride because you knew it'd work out in the end, with 1994 everyone antsy and stressed over the possibility that their OTP won't be endgame. (Althooouuugh, I'd argue that the writers never really thought of Chilbong's relationship with Najung to be anything but an obstacle for NJ/Trash and to serve as an obligatory second lead, but yeah).

I think Reply 1994 can seriously benefit from some of the same emphasis on being fish out of waters and putting the group in ridiculous hijinks like the first few episodes -- and mostly it could benefit from everyone being under the same roof again. But watching it sequentially I can see how it makes sense in terms of narrative progression. It's like watching a natural process of a group of people slowly going their separate ways.

Also, this is just a personal thing, although I like YJ/Siwon, and they had good chemistry, it was predictable for me and I wasn't as invested because you knew how it was going. I genuinely feel like both Najung/Trash and Najung/Chilbong have a way sweeter narrative going for them. The fact that both sides have such avid shippers should tell you as much. I don't know if it's just me, but every moment between NJ Trash and NJ/Chilbong felt so good to watch, because it felt like there was much more emotional pay-off to it?

Also as a series as a whole, I guess I prefer the mood of 94. It's a lot more mature with the right amount if crack but seriousness.

Heh. I like the romance in 94 WAY more. I mean I like Siwon/Yoonjae, but I didn't really root for them because it was a given. And I honestly think they got more attention than NJ's husband game is getting now. Back with 97 no one was nitpicking over the husband stuff and picking apart clues because no one really cared as much. So obviously the 94 husband mystery seems a lot heavier because it's an actual mystery.

I agree that the series has been getting more draggy, but I don't think it's solely the husband stuff. Frankly, I find Haitai's army time boring too, I don't find him as entertaining on his own than when he's with the rest of the crew. I just want everyone to interact with everyone again. I miss Oppa hating SCP's existence, I miss Haitai and Najung's relationship, I miss Najung and Yoon Jin girling out, I miss Binggeruae being accused of plagiarism. I want bits like when they were playing the "who would you choose" game, and the Trash/NJ and NJ/Chilbong moments woven into that.

It's probably because I've always been 10000% sure Trash was going to be the husband just going by K-Drama formula, and that I don't mind since I prefer them, but I don't feel the constant distress over the husband reveal.

Also Chilbong and Trash >>>>>> Yoonjae and Taewoong imo. They're altogether more nuanced, funnier, sweeter, and much easier to want the best for imo.

Just hearing HOT's Candy makes me emotional. Answer Me 1997 definitely owns my heart, I can't barely contain my excitement since their cameos have been announced.

I think the clip will be set in 1997. I think it makes more sense that way.

i really love this a thumbs up thing...hahaha

loooooveee eun ji and seo in gook, can't wait to see this episode!!

Am I the only one that is excited for some character development in regards to Binggure? He is definitely the most "on the side" side character in AM1994 and so seeing that the preview shows more of him, I feel as though we will finally dive in (with only <4 eps. left?!) with him and his possible attraction towards Garbage/Sunbaenim.

There were a lot of speculations that he was in the closet, and the hospital scene in episode 13 was probably the most we got to understanding his feelings. Maybe he'll confess? We'll have to see.

In regards to this whole AM1997 vs. AM1994 debacle, I find both series equally entertaining, though both have their faults.

I am a bit sad that this show is coming to a close. I was saddened when AM1997 was coming to a close as well.

but won't na-jung and shiwon have the same dad and mom?
