I just finished watching Find me in your memory and I liked it so much i am writing my first review ever.
Cast / chemistry
I haven’t seen Kim Dong Wook in a romantic lead role before, but he’s really charismatic and charming as ‘Anchor Lee’ - and the main reason I stayed glued to the show.
He portrayed his character’s internal struggle really well - between holding on to old memories of his first love and moving on to allow himself to love again. You really can’t help but feel for the guy!
And Moon Ga Young’s Ha Jin is such a cheery and and likeable character. I’m not sure why there was so much discussion about their real life 13-year age gap - because the couple looked so good together on screen. Their chemistry is amazing :)
The supporting cast is also very likeable. I enjoyed watching the loving banter between Ha Jin and her sister-cum-manager, Ha Kyung (played by Kim Seul-Gi), the bromance between Jung Hoon and his best friend-cum-doctor, Tae-Eun (Yoon Jong-hoon) and the respect and friendship between Jung Hoon and his boss, Director Choi.
Pacing / Story
I was hesitant to start on this drama at first because I tend to avoid melodramas (especially the tear jerkers) and slow-burn romances. But my fears were unfounded!
This drama is beautifully written and paced well. While the first 2/3 was a bit faster and more interesting because of the stalker storyline, the final 10 episodes connected on an emotional level as it focused more on the relationship between the two leads and showed their struggle to break out from the guilt and burdens of the past to bravely love in the present.
This is a feel-good romantic drama which will stay in my memory for a long while.. :)
