Rascal. Joker. Dreamer. Genius... You've never met a college student quite like "Rancho." From the moment he arrives at India's most prestigious university, Rancho's outlandish schemes turn the campus upside down—along with the lives of his two newfound best friends. Together, they make life miserable for "Virus," the school’s uptight and heartless dean. But when Rancho catches the eye of the dean's daughter, Virus sets his sights on flunking out the "3 idiots" once and for all.

Three partisans bound by a strong friendship return home after the war, but the clash with everyday reality puts a strain on their bond.

《请回答1988》为韩国tvN自2015年10月30日起播出的金土连续剧，由《请回答1997》、《请回答1994》制作班底申元浩导演和李祐汀作家再度携手合作。此剧与以往将初恋作为重心的另两部同系列作品不同，将以家族关系和邻里感情作为剧情主轴。而且1988年也是香港电影的巅峰时期，张国荣、周润发等影星在韩国皆具有高知名度，因此也可能被列为剧情素材之一。
