I think I used to

A hedged memory: the speaker is reaching back and is not sure of the details. Every line here is about the past — 저번에 체리매이플 맛 먹었던 거 같아 'I think we had the cherry maple last time', 네 7살? 이랬던 거 같아요 'I think I was seven?' The 던 adds the sense of recalling a scene you were inside, which makes it warmer and vaguer than a flat past tense. Its siblings are 은 거 같다 for how things are now and 을 거 같다 for what is still to come.
