"Reply 1988 10th anniversary" Jinju role Kim Seol made a surprise appearance and turned the place into a sea of tears.
On the 2nd broadcast, the final episode of tvN variety show "Reply 1988" 10th anniversary special depicted the last story of the Ssangmundong families' 2 Days & 1 Night MT, who reunited after 10 years, during which Kim Sunyoung and Ko Kyung-pyo showed tears.
That morning, while playing a "famous lines quiz" with Seong Dong Il's team versus Ahn Seong Dong Il's team for breakfast, a question about Kim Seol, who appeared in the drama as Jinju, Kim Sunyoung's daughter and Ko Kyung-pyo's sister, was asked.
At that moment, Kim Seol, who had been five years old 10 years ago, had grown up rapidly and made a surprise visit to the MT site, astonishing everyone. Unlike the neighbors who approached her with delight, Kim Sunyoung and Ko Kyung-pyo, who were family, could not bring themselves to approach her, drawing attention.
Seeing Kim Seol, who had grown so much, burst into tears, Kim Sunyoung said, "There was no father in our house. We had a lot of sad things. Suddenly three people are sitting here and the emotions from that time come up," and Ko Kyung-pyo also sobbed, saying, "That's right."
Kim Seol, who is now in the second year of middle school, said, "I attended school until sixth grade and did gifted activities, and now I have completed another gifted program," updating on her current status.
Then Kim Sunyoung recalled that she thought Kim Seol would not remember the filming of "Reply 1988" well, saying, "My daughter is exactly the same age. She doesn't remember then. What I still remember is the last day of filming — seeing her being carried by her mother as she left; it really felt like sending my daughter away."
She continued, "So what I vowed then was never to give that much affection again. It was too hard. With the child actors I met afterward, I deliberately stayed still when there was no filming. I became so sad when I formed an attachment and then parted."
Ko Kyung-pyo said, "I kept holding her on set. But she had grown so much; when she came it was so pleasant and surprising that I couldn't bring myself to go up to her. The feeling is strange. It's neither good nor sad, a feeling I've never felt before," and he shed tears.
Meanwhile, Seong Dong Il's team enjoyed the joy of a comeback victory over Ahn Seong Dong Il's team thanks to Kim Seol's performance. After the game ended, Ko Kyung-pyo asked, "Do you attend a gifted school?"
When Kim Seol said, "It's not a school but more like an academy; I go after school," he recalled, "Don't you draw? Your old dream was that you wanted to be a 'painter'." Kim Sunyoung also reminisced about the filming with Kim Seol and fell into nostalgia. Although the two people remembered things differently, the feelings they felt at that time were the same.
Meanwhile, regarding the reunion with his sister Kim Seol after 10 years, Ko Kyung-pyo said, "What was also very strange was that I don't cry easily, but I felt an indescribable feeling I'd never felt before. It wasn't sad, but it suddenly poured out. I was even happy because she grew up so well," he said.
Kim Seol said, "I didn't realize it, but meeting again made me feel like I'm back to being five years old at that time. It feels like family love has arisen." In response, Kim Sunyoung said, "Your empathy is impressive too," and looked on fondly.
He added, "What's really amazing is that the sense of neighborly affection in '88 was strong, wasn't it? We don't have that either. There's a magic that makes that feeling arise," and expressed his special affection for the work, saying, "It's like the magic that the 'Reply 1988' work gives."
