Remember

Seo Jin-woo has a special condition called Hyperthymesia which allows him to remember almost every day in perfect detail. While his father, Seo Jae-hyuk on the other hand, developed an Alzheimer's disease, making him lose his memories. When Seo Jae-hyuk was wrongfully convicted of murder, Jin-woo vows to prove innocence of his father. Four years later, Jin-woo becomes a lawyer to put the real criminal behind bars but bribery, corruption, and betrayals would not give him an easy road to justice.

20 episodes; Legal thriller/revenge

I actually enjoyed the beginning where they set up how the murder happened and the legal process and what led up to Jin Woo becoming a lawyer. Although, it is kind of slow because you really want them to hurry up and get to the part where Jin Woo comes back for revenge.


SPOILER ALERT
Not too bad. The ending though. Ughh, the ending is what makes a typical Korean drama and why I hate it. Making the son, who has this crazy memory ability get Alzheimer's. But the basic storyline was good. I wish they played up his perfect memory a bit more.

The actor that played Gyu Man, AMAZING. He totally played the rich, crazy, psychotic businessman really well. Although I hated that fact that he killed himself in prison. It's like he didn't even feel remorse for what he'd done. He only killed himself because daddy didn't love him.
