Synopsis:
Seo Jin-Woo grew up in a loving home even if it is just him and his Dad. He has a condition called Hyperthymesia which allows him to remember almost in accurate details things that are personal to him and significant events that happens to his life. He is also very observant, thus, makes him remarkable. He was living a simple and happy life even if they are not rich but all of these were destroyed when his father was framed in a crime his father didn’t commit. Ironically, his father suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease which is the antithesis of Hyperthymesia and, in a world where power and money rules, his father doesn’t stand a chance of being found innocent in a crime he didn’t commit. Seo Jin-Woo’s quest now is to fight for his father’s innocence and became a lawyer. He has worked hard through the years to bring to justice the real culprits but time is again his enemy because he too is now suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease and the only people he can depend on is the woman he loves Lee In-Ah, who is also a lawyer and loyal friends. It is now a matter of time of whether or not he can finally clear his father’s name.

My Review:
So, What do I Like About this K-Drama?
I watched this K-Drama because I was done watching the K-Dramas I love and trying to see if this was good. Watched it 6 months after it fully aired. I initially delegated it at the back burner because I don’t enjoy much typical melodrama whether it is English or Korean unless it brings something new on the table that I haven’t seen yet. Real life is already a melodrama on its own and I don’t want much of reality to filter into the things I do for entertainment but once in awhile you do get to find a gem of a drama and be entertained anyway even if it is tragic. However, sad to say this drama is not that gem. I watch it though because the actors are good and for this review.
What I do Not Like About this K-Drama?
This K-Drama, although, not exceptional is palatable to watch. However, it is predictable and everything else is like every other melodrama you’ve seen except the premise of the health condition of the main character, Seo Jin-Woo. There’s a hero fighting against injustice and a villain who’s simply evil. It has certain twist and turns now and then but nothing really special that can wring your gut to the core and appreciate the ingenuity of the story. It does string your heart on some scenes but you will know the entire story by just watching the first few episodes, the middle and the ending. It is what I did and I already got the gist.
Would I recommend this K-Drama?Not Really
