I Remember You

Hey guys, it's CW here. Been getting a lot of positive responses from my previous posts, so here I am with another drama review.  Seriously, although watching and reviewing k-drama is my side job, dramas that I can 100% wholeheartedly recommend friends to watch have less than 20.   "I remember you" is most definitely on my top 20 list. The main dude, Soo In Guk is not only my bias, been following him since "Reply 1997".  Soo In Guk has always been in mellow drama and now for the first time challenging a romantic thriller *melts*,  even more charismatic!

So the story revolves around MaleLead, his stalker, the guy who killed his dad and his missing younger brother.

Here we go~  

The story begin when MaleLead received a mysterious email regarding a murder case in South Korea, he then returned to Korea for this matter as it links to what he has been searching for. 

On day 1 of his return, at the crime scene, a random detective chased him down the street.  MaleLead was surprised that she knew his name.  FemaleLead aka stalker was disappointed that he had no idea who she was.

Because... she has been stalking him for the past twenty years... how could he have not known?

When MaleLead was about 10, him, his dad and younger brother moved to a new suburb. MaleLead found a dead dog at the backyard and buried it.  MaleLead's dad thought it was MaleLead who killed the dog.  Because ever since they moved in, their neighbors  noticed an increase of dead animals around the area...

MaleLead's father is a psychologist, as well as a counselor for inmates.  

MaleLead's father found uncanny similarities between his son and the inmate he's currently counselling.

 Coincidentally MaleLead and the psycho serial murderer met.... They had a long chat.  

 MaleLead reads his fathers memo everyday behind his father's back. He found out that his father thought he's a monster.

Soon afterwards, MaleLead's father locked him up in the basement and isolated him from the world.

The psycho killer escaped prison and came out to kill the counselor. 

For some unknown reason, MaleLead's younger brother knew exactly who the psycho was and quickly escaped from the house. 

MaleLead came out from the basement and found his father on the floor. 

Okay, seems confusing but I can't say too much otherwise I will spoil it.  Let me know if you liked it and leave a comment below!

Twenty Again

 

 

 

It's Amy here, today I shall introduce to you guys one of the best Korean drama of 2015, it's Twenty Again! Starring Korea's top actor and actress!

 

As usual, I will not attempt to confuse you guys with the confusing Asian names.

 

FemaleLead: Choi Ji Woo from Winter Sonata (the most popular Korean drama of all time!)

MaleLead: Lee Sang Joo 

Twenty again  is about the FemaleLead after giving up on her dreams at 19 in order to follow her husband to Germany, as well as to raise her son.  And then 20 years later she decides to join her son and study at the same university.

 

Here I'll take you through episode 1 of Twenty Again.

 

 

The drama opens with the FemaledLead and Male2 filing for a divorce.  The excuse Male2 gave to FemaleLead for the divorce was because she does not have a university degree, he feels that he cannot communicate with her as she is under educated.

 

 

 

             FemaleLead studies hard for the university entrance exam.

 

 

On day 1 of the enrolment, she ran into her high school friend (which he had a huge crush on her).

 

 

At the same time, she was also diagnosed with cancer with only 6 months of time remaining.

 

 

FemaleLead struggled as she know her son will not be happy to find out she's going to go to the same university as him, as he is ashamed of his own mother.

 

 

However, she made up her mind that she's going to use the remaining time well and complete her bucket list.

 

FemaleLead drawing up her route so she won't run into her son or her husband.

 

 

Mature aged students are usually discriminated by others at a Korean university, FemaleLead struggled to fit in.

 

 

In short, Twenty Again is definitely worth watching, as I have just finished watching Remember You (I will review this another day :) ) and the Male2 in Remember is a psycho serial killer, and in Twenty Again he's the FemaleLead's arrogant and self-centered husband. So for those of you who have already seen Remember You and still can't get over the chills you got from that drama, this romance comedy is definitely worth watching.
