Remember: War of the Son

I was hesitant to watch this drama at first. Though I've already seen some clips of it on Youtube, I thought it was boring and mediocre. I want to stay away from melodramatic and tear-jerking dramas as much as possible, and just stick with light, fun and comedic stuff.

This is one of those that carry heavy loads of emotions, which in the midst of doubt, became one of my favorites. Great story line. Very interesting yet "frustrating" plot. I got hooked in the first fifteen minutes run of the pilot episode.

Although I'm more into cheesy and romantic kind of a story, Remember is an exception, along with Angry Mom. It talks more about crime, conspiracy, political aspects, bureaucracy and the like with very minimal romance. Sure, there are specks of unintentionally hilarious scenes, but I have no idea about the practices and implementation of laws in S.Korea, so I can't pinpoint things out for discussion. Besides, those are too little to distract viewers and ruin the entire episodes or even the story line for that matter.

Otherwise, Namgoong Min and Yoo Seung-ho's acting is phenomenal! The first, stirred my anger with his crazy 'stunt' and outre behavior ,while the latter burst me into tears, almost the entire drama. The affliction of the main character(s) is real. The emotional impact is 'severe'. It affected me really hard.

I highly recommend this drama. It's worth it! And it's worth it hundred times!
