I started watching this peeking through one eye and holding my breath for the rain of pain to come. But here's the thing, Memory is not maudlin at all.

Lee Sung-Min blows me away as the imperfect, inscrutable, cutthroat and humane lawyer. I hated him at first and now love him more and more with each episode. I love watching his hoobae Lee Joon Ho in action with him and their chemistry is fabulous. They crack me up.

It isn't all Alzheimer's all the time here. BUT there is real depth and feeling--from the pain of losing a child to dealing with an ex-spouse to struggling with how to take responsibility for the things we've done. I find it gripping and can't wait to see what happens next from episode to episode. Ah, this really is my favorite show right now. A real diamond.

It's my favorite right now too, mainly for Lee Sung-min. Another great performance from him. There are downsides to Memory -- the female characters are forced to agonize a bit too much -- but it's well done. Some surprisingly crisp acting from idol star Lee Jun-ho.

Memory has great directing, storyline, and acting. It's my favorite drama right now. Unfortunately, not many people watch it.

I'm really liking this fictional portrayal of Alzheimer's so far. Alzheimer's runs in my family, (grandfather, father, aunt and uncle) and now I help my mother take care of my stepfather who is also afflicted with it. I had a hard time watching Bubblegum which focused on how the disease affected the lives of the family. It hit too close to home. I watched one episode of Remember and decided I couldn't deal with it. Memory focuses more on the person with Alzheimer's who at least finds out early enough what's happening to him, and for me, it makes it more watchable.

A quality drama I look forward to and enjoy watching. The subject matter - memory loss and cognitive decline - deserves more attention. Hopefully more and more people will come around to Memory and choose not to avoid it simply because it shines a light on the symptoms and signs of Alzheimer's disease and how it impacts family, work, one's health, and the personal toll/strain and sacrifices of caregivers.

This drama is getting better and better! Now more people know about his illness and he is getting closer to find the real culprit for his son's death. And ep 12- OMG Lee Sung-min's acting!

I have followed this website for 3 years and have never commented ( even as much as I loved Healer ) but I have to say I think you " dropped the ball " in not following this drama after just 1 episode. Lee Sung Min is fabulous in his role. Yes, his character is obnoxious and unlikable in the beginning, but the change in him transforms him into an "underdog" that I think even the most hard hearted could root for. I was surprised to see that Lee Joon Ho was a member of 2PM. Like most, I can be leery of " idol actors/actresses" but think he is doing a great job. The role of the secretary that is being played by Yoon So Hee is wonderful too! I love how much she cares about Park Tae Suk

PS the chemistry between the characters , " Jung Jin ( the assistant lawyer) and Bong Sun Hwa" ( secretary) has been really great too!!!

wow ep15 - another great episode! Love Lee Joon Ho (Jung Jin) - he really does the great job here.

Just watched the last ep.
Loved it!!!! Such powerful performance by Lee Sung-min.
I loved its tight plot, and great acting all around.
Rather than cryingfest with his illness which made me reluctant about starting the show, it had heart-warming and winning story. Also loved the open ending on positive note (like Marriage contract).
I will put Pied Piper and Memory right under Signal. (interestingly Both PP and Memory got better in later half).

I watched the first episode and was in two minds about it. I wanted to see something new with Yoon so-hee so gave it a chance. Now I'm on the last episode. This drama has really won me over because of its wonderful warmth and human kindness and understanding in the face of vile and dreadful Chaebols doing their worst. The lead's wife and children are just so believable and they stand by him. The work situation is so rewarding the Secretary Bong and Junior are so loyal and their chemistry together ( for they clearly have a mutual crush) is somehow very contenting. I found this compelling viewing.
