Surprisingly good
When I first read the storyline, I expected a melodrama that would cause me so much heartache because of all the twists and turns. However, when I saw the poster and teasers, the drama seemed slow-paced, kind of like "When The Weather is Fine." After finishing "Find Me in Your Memory," I can confidently say that it is not frustratingly dramatic, nor does it drag the plotline. I enjoyed it much more than I expected and I will give a more detailed explanation in the paragraphs below.
The drama's main plotline revolves around the memories that the main leads do or do not remember. When I first realized their connection, I predicted that there would be a huge "explosion" scene where the truth would be unraveled and misunderstandings would arise. To my pleasant surprise, the main characters are much more mature and aren't as impulsive as typical kdrama characters. The writers were smart to focus the drama on the characters rather than some revenge plot that the villain was planning.
The acting and cast for this drama were definitely the best. The main actor had a difficult role where he needed to express a lifetime of emotions with only his expression; I think he did exceptionally well and did not seem to force the emotions. The main actress started off with a simpler role, but after experiencing a major event, she needed to change her expressions and overall feeling. Her character development was something I looked forward to, and our main lead did not disappoint. I should also add, the chemistry between the two leads was off the charts. The side characters were perfect to balance out the serious tone of the drama; there were lighthearted moments that allowed me to not feel stressed about the challenges the main couple had to go through. The villains, all despicable, still played their roles very well and allowed me to hate them to the bone.
I rated the drama's ost a perfect 10 because it had a collection of songs I really enjoyed. Although there isn't much variety, genrewise, they still tugged at my heart and complemented the drama. I actually added one of the songs to my playlist because it is such a gem, "A Memory In My Heart" by Yangpa.
The rewatch value category often confuses me; I have never fully rewatched a drama because I don't feel the need to watch all the scenes. Therefore, I rated this category based on how likely I was to watch the main couple's scenes again. Although their love story was splendid to watch, it was very heavy. The side couple, on the other hand, was so cute and I would definitely watch a short compilation of their romance.
Overall, I definitely recommend this drama to anyone. This exceeded my expectations and I am proud to boast that I finished it under 48 hours, without skipping as much as I usually do.
