This drama is a perfect example of a drama I was tempted to drop, but I'm so glad I didn't. I love thrillers, so I thought this drama would be right up my alley, but for me "I Remember You" was just ok at first, and a little hard to really get into in the beginning. Much of the beginning is spent revealing backstories, and establishing characters. There are also crime mysteries to be solved, and although they were interesting, they weren't very suspenseful, because bad guys and outcomes were pretty obvious, but maybe that's because I've watched soooo many suspense thrillers. The one thing that was great from the very beginning was the chemistry between Ji An and Lee Hyun. Their awkwardly romantic moments were a big reason why I wanted to keep watching. The weird thing about I Remember You is, unlike other dramas, it started to get better with each episode. The main cast is a outstanding (the supporting cast is great too), and once the characters backstories are established, the complexity of each character is revealed. That complexity is what creates the real suspense, because it's hard to predict each character's intentions, and motives. Subtle changes in expression, false smiles, and poker faces... I don't want to accidentally give anything away, but I will say that I love the duality in certain characters. I would have never guessed that psychopaths could be so sympathetic. Also, Seo In Guk's facial expressions, in particular, sparked an instant crush. For me, the best episodes were in the second half of the series, and they kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting to know how everything would be resolved. The beauty of this drama is, instead of a simple resolution, the ending just leads to more wondering, and left me wanting more. If there's a sequel, count me in! The only thing that really bothered me about this drama was the music. The general soundtrack was fine, but some songs felt very inappropriate to the story. As intensely cute as the romantic tension is, it still seemed not right to put in a fairly upbeat love song when people are getting murdered by serial killers. Overall, I recommend this drama, especially if you like psychological dramas, or crime thrillers. The romance is great, and a big part of the story, but RomCom fans should be warned that romance is not the singular focus. I think now that I know the backstory, I would rewatch this, and the beginning would be easier to follow. I would be tempted to fast forward to later scenes (like the super tense yet kinda hilarious dinner scene). So, although I didn't give this as high a score as others, It's imperfections are easily outweighed by the outstanding parts, and this drama certainly stands out from the kdrama rest.
