최강 배달꾼 (Strongest Deliveryman)
In this episode, the fanbear goes back to his roots and attempts to try and give a decent KDrama review for the nth time.

Be warned, his recommendations are either a hit or a miss, so bear with him. First up, hear his take on The Strongest Deliveryman.

Junghwan's Confession
For the continuation of our discussion about Reply 1988, we get into a heated discussion about which character we prefer -- Junghwan or Taek? We dissected the most memorable scene of the whole series, Junghwan’s confession, and bared our innermost thoughts and feelings about it. Was that the best way to get his closure? Or was it the only way? One thing’s for sure though, we all agreed that Reply 1988 is timeless.

Reply to Reply 1988
In this episode, we take a trip back to the Ssangmun-dong neighborhood, where the events of the Reply 1988 Kdrama took place. Almost five years since it’s initial run, why is it making a resurgence, and more and more people are falling in love with it? VGaps is joined by his friends Ariane, Al, Carol, Da, and Ed and they discuss in length Reply 1988 -- from their favorite episodes and characters, to settling the debate between the question #TeamJunghwan or #TeamTaek.
For the first part, we get to appreciate the beauty of the episodes that are so close to home -- from an ode to our mothers, a discourse on the plights of our fathers, to talking about middle child problems and how Reply 1988 was able to reflect all of it. We also talk about the underappreciated Dongryong, who was left in Ssangmundong but is acting as the “anchor” and “nest” for the whole squad.
