Great start, but dragged with almost no plot towards the end.

This drama started off focusing on one main plot: memories; Ha Jin's forgotten memories AND Jung Hoon's never forgotten memories.
Within a few episodes this changed directions almost entirely and focused on the stalker storyline interlinking Seo Yeon's (ML's ex and FL's best friend) death with Ha Jin's present stalker.
This was very smooth sailing as it didn't feel like a complete change in plot through the way they executed it as it still focused on memories. But, AFTER 10 episodes, the whole stalker storyline ENDED completely and was concluded really nicely. But, then in the last 6 episodes, it was as if her whole stalker storyline didn't even happen and as we move on to the first storyline of Ha Jin remembering her past.

The last 6 episode were very SLOW and I found myself skipping through most of it. Nothing much happens and it goes exactly as you'd predict.

One thing I loved about this show is that you are left seriously questioning who Ha Jin's stalker could be. All the potential suspects had so many of the stalkers characteristics and had the potential to be the stalker. I was surprised and happy with who the actual stalker was and the actor did really well in this role. I'm not going to mention who the stalker was.

I liked the main lead couple. They had a really slow burn romance that was really mature and focused a lot on loss.

I LOVED the second lead couple: Ha Kyung and Il Kwon. Their romance was also really slow burn and mature, but in a different, more comedic way. They were also the sibling/like sibling of the main couple and their pairing was adorable. The couple that always argues about everything, gender role reversal couple who had litterally no interest in each other until they spent A LOT of time together. They were the couple that stayed together once they decided to be together. (SPOILER) They were also really good at making a long distance relationship work.

I loved the cast of this drama:
- Moon Ga Young: I can't not love the characters she plays. She can really play the nice, adorable, naive girl without annoying me.
- King Dong Wook: First drama of his I've watched and I felt that his role really suited him. His hairstyle, outfits and just the way he speaks really suited his anchor role as well as a man who has suffered loss and is constantly suffering from that loss.
- Kim Seul Gi: I loved her character so much, a small but very feisty person who seemed more like the older sibling than the actual older sibling.
- Lee Jin Hyuk: Another actor I saw for the first time. I loved his role, though it was kind of cliche, but he played it really well.
- Jee Il Joo: There is something about him that just made him so perfect for his role. I've seen an edit of him playing a psychopath in another show, and I have to say, he played the role as one of the potential stalkers REALLY well. There is something unsettling about his smile and I loved it.

This drama was worth the watch, but it definitely should have been shorter. I did not like how it dragged for several episodes with very little plot.
