This is definitely one of the best dramas of this year. And my favourite too. First i started it because of the fantasy element and my favourite stars, but soon after 3 episodes i felt nothing interesting so i put it on hold. But just last week i gave it a second try and there started my binge watch of it!!! It was totally addictive and kept me on the edge of my seat all throughout the drama. Thankgod i didnt watch it while it was airing or else i would've gone crazy waiting.

The background story might be the similar to most of the crime-thriller dramas but what makes Memorist special is the element of supernatural powers which keeps us guessing all throughout the drama who the villain actually is. Each time you make a theory, the very next episode throws all that into bin making you ho crazy and invested in the story. The execution of the drama was really made well. And what makes it unique is it stays original to its genre and delivers a convincing, satisfying and real story.

Another major asset of this drama is the perfect casting. Yoo seung ho and lee se young totally rocked. And all the supporting actors also did really well and made us feel connected with them. I've already seen lee se young in doctor john (which is also another gem) and she is really a great actress. What a performance!!! And yoo seung ho, again was perfect as the jerky detective who deals with these bastrads in his own way. And the trio of old man, se hoon and DB totally stole the show. I'll be missing these AVENGERS a lot!!!

So if you're debating on whether to watch or not, no doubt just watch it.. its a rare gem and not to be missed one. Beginning 4 episodes might be slightly a drag but thereafter it takes you on a roller-coaster ride which you'll surely enjoy if you are a fan of crime thrillers.
