Memoriseuteu

" Memorist " was a heavy drama, but with a nice mystery.

The plot was packed with action, twists, and drama that at some point it got tiring. However, the two main characters were dominating without overshadowing each other, or having a romantic plot to follow, which would have ruined their dynamics and the atmosphere of the drama. Actually, all the characters were complex and interesting.

The fantasy element was handled perfectly as well. And the mystery was unpredictable enough to keep things interesting till the very ending. The friendship of the police team was, in addition, a nice comedy relief.

Finally, the performances were great from all the members of the cast.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

The plot was too good. The rating currently 7.6 is not justified as per me where lots downgraded series rated over 8. Never seen so many layers of mystery in one movie or series. It is very eye pleasing to see how the story forwards with one mystery give birth of another almost in every episode. Incredible story. I recommend to watch but with patience.

While the show is reasonably original and well acted, at some point it simply becomes too complex for its own good.

So many villains, motivations, killings, lost memories, red herrings, that by episode 12 watching this show became a chore. In some scenes, actors literally have to give lengthy verbal explanations about what the heck is going on. Some aspects confused me because in some scenes a character would have supernatural abilities and in other scene suddenly not.

It's choke-full of actively unpleasant characters, so it's not like watching it gives much joy anyway.

The two leads are fine, although I'm not a big fan of this Korean obsession with dolling people up. I just can't take it seriously when two perfectly made up and dressed individuals in expensive ballroom shoes are trying to present themselves as hard-boiled detectives.

Having said that, it could be worth a watch.

Wow this was a roller coaster ride from start to finish! The plot is intense and full of twists and turns and it is written really well so it felt very unpredictable but also made sense. I really enjoyed the telepathic element to the story, it added an interesting twist that was done very well. The acting was also very well done, with some really good side characters that you can't help but like. The soundtrack was atmospheric and perfectly tense, helping create a tension that isn't broken until the very last episode. There were NO slow episodes, and the pacing was perfect, unlike a lot of KDrama's that feel a bit slow around episode 10-11. This was a wild ride that was incredibly enjoyable to watch!

Every episode I didn't expect what was going to happen. It's amazing drama really deserves high rating and more recognition. My love to all the cast. Your beloved fan from Egypt.
