SBS’s Remember courts Yoo Seung-ho to headline
by javabeans
Yoo Seung-ho is suddenly looking very busy, and I like it. A lot.
On the heels of signing on to cable drama Imaginary Cat, Yoo may also soon be joining an SBS production, the legal thriller Remember (which happens to be the drama that displaced the drama Goodbye Mr. Black, which has since been picked up by MBC). Despite a few early reports that said he was confirmed, the casting is not finalized yet, though a rep from his side stated that he is “seriously considering” it.
I’m glad to hear it, because even though I have every intention of watching Yoo Seung-ho being adorable with his cat BFF, Imaginary Cat is on cable station MBC Every1 and only eight episodes long. I’d be thrilled to have him back in a full-length series on top of that, and this drama sounds like it would provide him with a lot of meaty acting material.
Once you hear the plot of Remember, it’s easy to recall, since it’s all about (what else?) memory. The nutshell version: It’s about a hero with too much memory, who then loses his memory.
Of course, the actual plot is a lot more than just the one-liner, with the hero suffering from hyperthymesia, a condition where a person’s memory is so vivid and detailed as to be debilitating. Yoo’s character manages to overcome his disability to become a genius lawyer, and sets out to work on clearing his father’s name of a crime, only to then lose his memory. What were the chances? (In dramaland, probably about 99%.)
Remember is set to follow Village: Secret of Achiara, which puts its premiere in early December. Imaginary Cat will air in November.

YES!! YSH back on network tv. I'm excited for the cat drama but a full-length drama (revenge!!) drama is just my cup of tea. And SBS, which has been on a roll lately in terms of production budget and stuff. Exciting news.

That... Is a freakin terrible premise. As much as I'd like YSH to comeback in a full fledged drama, I'm not going through crap for him and if the synopsis is any indication, this will be exactly that. Like really? Too much vivid memory and when you need it, amnesia. It doesn't even deserve my eyeroll.

sounds like tv series prison break to me .If the korean pd knows how to use his equipments well on how he/she will present us viewers the protagonist detailed vivid memory then I think this drama will be interesting and eye catching

Wait I read on Koala that wasn't Lee Jong Suk considering this drama as well? Unless they've dropped him or I'm getting wrong casting reports. Oh well either way yay for more Yoo Seung Ho~

Koala's entry has no basis. Just "rumored" that makes like fact.

They based it off the fact that this show's child actor was following Jongsuk on instagram lol. So basically, baseless.

I wish Nam Ji Hyun would get casted as the female lead! I've always wanted them paired up. (They've actually been in 2 of the same dramas, but never shared a scene) Though, NJH is quite diligent with school, so I'm not sure if she'd do a drama right now anyways...

Yes! How can anyone say no to more Yoo Seung Ho? Although the premise doesn't intrigue me, he can make everything watchable. Best birthday present ever!

If he accepts this then I will have to watch it no matter what because I have been waiting for a long time for YAH to comeback on drama. The last time I watch him in a drama is Arang. I never finish Missing You because I don't like the plot and the direction of the drama. So I am so excited to finally watch YSH again. Love him so much in QSD and GOS before.

For sbs to drop a roaring to go Goodbye Mr Black, it better be worth it and i now i understand because its yoo seung ho's comeback. Also it sounds like a lower cost production versus the other shows massive overseas shoot.
From the sound of it, it seems like he is definitely attached to the project just pending signatures on paper.
Anything to see him come back is good.
