Fans of Answer Me 1997 have been buzzing in curiosity as to who will end up being Siwon’s baby’s daddy. The cast has been no exception, with actor Song Jong Ho admitting that he too made many speculations earlier. But with the script for the final episode completed, Song remains mum, keeping it a secret to even his closest friends.
Confession is in the air! And honestly, I never realized until now how sexy the word “gashina” (가시나) can sound. A vernacular slang term for “girl” used mostly in the Gyeongsangdo region, there really is not an English equivalent. Perhaps the closest term is “bitch,” but the Korean term “gashina” is neither a profanity nor carry the offensiveness of the closest English equivalent. I think estel best described it when she said, “It does seem to occupy a nebulous in-between place.”
I admit it. When I become obsessed about something, whether it be a song, an actor, or a drama, I go a little… overboard. I listen to that song on repeat for days at a time, look up online everything I can about an actor, or re-watch scenes or episodes of a drama again and again. Fortunately, for my own sanity, it doesn’t happen too often. But tvN’s latest drama, Answer Me 1997, succeeded in doing just that.
Seeing my obsessive-compulsive behavior of watching this “little drama that could” on repeat, Mama Blue expressed concern. “Aren’t you a little too old to be obsessing over a drama about high schoolers?” she asked. But after watching the episodes herself, the skeptical, Korean mom ended up asking, “So, when are the next episodes coming out?”
