Reply 1988, the Time of an Alley

Reply 1988, the time of an alley

2015–2016's tvN <Reply 1988> set Korea's cable-drama record with a 19.6 percent peak rating. Park Bo-gum, Hyeri, Ryu Jun-yeol, Go Kyung-pyo, Lee Dong-hwi — five families living one year, 1988, in one alley.

The Ssangmun-dong alley set was built anew in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi. A 3-meter-wide alley with five 1980s single-story houses on either side, plus a two-story neighborhood store — a major set operated for nearly a year.

That alley is the most lovingly recreated 1980s in Korean drama history. From kimchi pots to a single pair of shoes, the art team turned a family's memory into a place.

People live by memories. — Ra Mi-ran

What happened behind the scenes?

01
Ssangmun-dong alley set

02
Taek's go sequence
Consulted with the Korea Baduk Association, with a real pro-go player as a cameo. The board moves recreate an actual famous game.

Visitor Notes
Ssangmun-dong itself is hard to match exactly since the Uijeongbu set is gone. The Ssangmun Stn alleys still hold the vibe.

Uijeongbu budae jjigae street is old-school noir at lunch on weekdays. Time travel.
