I’m not usually into K-dramas, but Reply 1988 is still a favourite. Set in the late ’80s, it follows families in a close-knit neighbourhood—something Bae Sik Dang, a recent addition to Tanjong Pagar, brings to mind with its nostalgic, old-school charm. The warm, homey sets in the drama mirror the restaurant’s casual, family-run feel, which almost resembles a neighbourhood eatery in Korea.
