So firstly i want to say that i have watched all seasons, and i was kinda not sure on which one should i write the review.However lets begin.
First of all the story was really cool, i really liked the crime part of it . The idea of having an organisation full of murderers is just PERFECT. This drama kept me interested till the end. You never know how the story is going to unfold.The thing that really attracted me at the begining was the portray of the female lead- she is not a typical chinese or any kind of drama lead. She is a strong and undepedandant woman, who can fight for herself and the people she loves and really importat wasnt annoying which could have happened really easy . Not to forget all the murderers were fantastic presented , their charectrer and why they became criminals was really good made.
So i am going to recommend this drama to all people who enjoy crime ,mystery with lots of love elements in it. It is definitely not the typical crime drama.And if you are looking for somthing with less drama in it ( i mean love drama,however a lot of love figures were involved hahahah it was definitely not only a triangle hahaha) this is the perfect example - there is none hahaha
My rating is around 8.5~9 out of 10.
Highly enjoyable .

This is my first time writing a review so my review might not be very helpful. I kept thinking about this drama, something I usually don't (I tend to forget about it and move to the next one) so I might as well write a review.The three parts are continuation to the story that ends in the previous.
I don't watch a lot of crime/ thriller/ detective dramas so this is one of the few I've watched. After watching Memory Lost, I think I am going to give these genres a try. I watched all the three seasons so am going to write an overall review. The story has several twists and it gets interesting as you watch it. I liked the story right from the beginning, it had action in the very first episode which got me hooked.
The actors did an amazing job- they kept the story moving and thrilling. There are several scenes in the drama which get you emotional and involved in the story. I felt as if I was part of the story. The lead actors did an amazing job. Bai Yu and Yang Rong played their roles very well. The sizzling chemistry between them was unique and I loved it. The actors of the Alphabet Syndicate executed their roles extremely well.
Coming to music, there aren't a lot of variety you get to hear in this drama. I really liked Deep Sleep (??) by Yang Rong and Bai Yu. It suited the mood of the drama. However, the song videos in the drama have spoilers, it's best if you don't watch them till the last episode of the drama. You can listen to the song, though. :)
This is the first time, I feel like re-watching a drama. I would like to re-watch it sometime soon because of the balance in romance and action int he drama. I usually don't re-watch dramas because they get boring with the dialogues and scenes. However, in this one, the scenes aren't at all boring and it has witty exchanges, especially between the lead actors, so no chance of dialogues getting boring.
All in all, I think Memory Lost is a wonderful drama and has new experiences to provide to its viewers. The theme song is another reason I liked the drama.
Recommended. :)

Doing their best to stay on the heels of the wrongdoers killers who see themselves above the law. Its supper great seeing each talent at work analysing the sick individuals who are committing the crimes/killings. Even though they feel they're doing the justice that the courts failed to do simply because the committer was wealthy.

It's good but there are much better ones...
Let me just preface saying: I absolutely don't watch amnesia dramas. Even if the amnesia happened before the start of the drama. Obviously this was an exception. And I do admit that I think the amnesia aspect was handled better than in most other dramas, so that's a bonus. So in a way it helped this drama gain an extra star from a 6 to a 7.Anyways.
As much as I want to like this highly recommended Memory Lost drama, not to mention the original source, the novel, is written from the same author as 'When a Snail Falls in Love' and 'Love Me If You Dare', and 'Glamorous Time', but it was a slight disappointment. I had higher hopes because the WASFIL and LMIYD are one of my favourites in the psychology-crime-romance genre (I ESPECIALLY liked the novel versions of the two stories way more than the drama versions. Although WASFIN's drama adaptation was actually pretty good imo, at least it didn't change anything major... if memory serves me right. I read it a while ago) and I enjoyed Glamorous Time drama too (haven't read the novel yet).
There were a few reasons for the disappointment in this drama, but I think the main reason is because the FL just wasn't quite the FL type I like. I can ignore certain plot holes in dramas, I can even ignore bad acting (although the acting was ok in general in this one) but the FL herself was... a little annoying, childish in her actions, and her character just wasn't mature enough, except for maybe her IQ when it comes to psychology and I do like how she's actually physically strong too and isn't a damsel in distress. But otherwise... the way she gets heated up over the smallest things (childish)... Although it didn't lead to any major consequences, but still, it was a bit annoying. She seems to overreact a lot too. Having said that, I didn't dislike how she always complimented herself, nor her confidence etc. She wasn't entirely overconfident to ignore others' suggestions too. I guess her good side did outweigh her faults because now I'm going on to watch season 2... (side note: all three seasons should just be one season, I have no idea why they split into 3, each season is just a direct continuation of the previous) Although I can say that she isn't as annoying as the FLs of other dramas and she has her redeeming points, hence I kept watching.
About the ML, he's the typical cool male lead. Tbh I was more or less fine with him but I think there were a few times where I went 'why the heck did you say that???' or 'why did you act that way???' But overall, more bearable than the FL tbh. Considering I don't remember anything specific, he definitely left a better impression on me than the FL hahaha.
I think the FL really dragged my ratings down from a potential 8/9 to a 7. My 8 or 9 rating would've disregarded some plotholes etc. but everything considered, I brought it to a 7. It could just be me since I seem to see a lot of people liking the FL and I would to if she just wasn't so... immature. It could be the directing. Maybe the novel version of her is better - I'll only know when I read it, if I'm not turned off from reading it because of this drama adaptation.
As for the crime and mystery aspect, the moment I saw the office set, I knew immediatly not to take the crime aspect of this drama seriously. Sometimes, I feel, you can just tell by the set what sort of drama it would be. In this case, the set for the police offices and rooms just weren't realistic enough. Too... fantasised maybe? Well I was right not to nitpick things, like the FL wearing heals is a big one. Kudos to the actress running in them... Also, there does seem to be some plot holes that existed that I chose to ignore.
I don't know how it compares to the novel. However, novels aside, this drama... maybe it's the directing, maybe it's how it was adapted, but it just didn't seem to be anywhere close to WASFIL, LMIYD and even GT dramas. I'm still in the process of watching season 2 and if it passes my vibe, maybe I'll continue onto season 3 and see.
Oh, I don't usually rewatch dramas unless it's really right up my ally, plus the plot of this drama is something I generally wouldn't watch to begin with, so that's why the re-watch value is only 1 for me. I don't feel like I need to go through it again.
But the above is just my two cents. :)

The story was pretty good, not bad for a second viewing after a few months or more. The supporting characters were well done and the acting was superb. All of the crimes were interesting, but at some point they, and the criminal psycology, became too artistic.
Overall, the greatest value to this drama is Yang Rong, the romance, and the chemistry between the leads.

Overall, Memory Lost was mostly fun and interesting. Wish the second lead had more expression and interaction with the female lead.

If you are thinking about watching this, take note:
If you are thinking about watching this, take note:- this is not a drama with three seasons but one 36 episode drama split in three
- there are a lot of loop holes, you'll find yourself saying a lot of times "but..."
- the romance scenes are really good but sometimes scarce, you have to be interested in police drama too
- there are a lot of rapes and multiple rape scenes, beware if you are triggered by this
- you can buy iQIYI to watch this with high quality picture, but the subbing there is made by an AI and quite crappy. Take note that the police Cold Noodles is actually called Cold Face, and in the first season when they talk about the FL being "lu chi", it means she has a bad or no sense of direction at all.
If all this is fine for you, give this drama a chance! I myself found it entertaining and watched it in a few days, without getting bored.

I just finished watching the season 1 of Memory lost so before I start watching season 2 I wanna give review on this season,
So the story is about a Elite police force of china, and story resolve around gangstar, criminal and terorist organization, our Main lead is so dashing male lead is perfect police of officers who has forgotten his memories and wants to find his fiance to whom he doesn't remember and female she has also lost her memory and she dreaming them into pieces like nightmare, so they come together to create elite team to fight crime with best hackers and criminal profiler.
About action was very creative some scenes with male lead were spectacular, so far story is very focused it is not lacking anywhere, visual effects were amazing they are following the story .
Now I m looking forward to season 2 and pe what we will get in this season and how is the story is moving forword.
Peace out

Incredibly compelling crime story, with romance peppered in between
The main leads are super sweet, and I loved the twists and turns and how the plot kept me guessing.I don't have high ratings for a lot of C-dramas and this one really surpassed my expectations.
If you like your dramas to have a main 'topic' as a setting (e.g. crime, office, historical) that serves as a point of tension throughout the series, you will love this. The romance builds up throughout, but it's not just all about the romance and the story itself is interesting enough for you to want to keep watching.
The acting was stellar and I was hooked on the story. It has a bit of City Hunter vibes but the story is totally different.
Why watch: Great plot, kiss scenes are cute, good actors
Why not: I didn't like the FL's voice (LOL), drama may be too long for some, lack of good english subs on iQiyi, main male lead is not traditionally handsome but I think he looks cool
Overall, I really enjoyed this drama but somehow because of certain plot holes it was lacking a solid umph that would have made it a 9 or 10. still worth a watch though

A must watch drama
This drama have a very nice storyline, it has very intriguing plots and every twist never ceased to surprise me. Every second had me antcipating the second! I might prasising it a bit too much but this drama truly was amazing! The cast have done a very good job at portraying the events and the scenes. The investigation scenes in particular were very fun to watch. As someone interested in criminal psychology and forensics this drama kept me on the edge the whole time! It might not be realistic but as a drama audience it was good to watch. The music too is very melodious and pretty good. Overall you should definitely give it a try. ??♀️❤️️?♂️????There's a spoiler after this so read at your own risk!
I felt like they should have extended their story of like falling in love for the first time to a bit longer. And I think it would be nice to see how they both react after they've regained their memories, I guess there is one scene about it but there isn't much. I feel like it ended a little abrubtly. Iwould have loved to see how they both react at the hospital after the ship incident at the end.
