so, as I predicted, the amnesia lasted around 3 minutes. Longer in drama universe, but 3 minutes in screen time. would have been so good with agony confusion and some guilt, and denial
This would actually make for an interesting drama problem to solve rather than the “your dad killed my dad” fake angst fest. I wish they would spend some time exploring the legal and ethical issues surrounding a criminal who doesn’t actually remember committing the crime. Is he even competent to stand trial? Does SK have competence laws? Don’t know. Would be an interesting topic to explore.
exactly. It was a premise with lots of possibilities: like the killer could have been the other guy but push the murders on his accomplish; the killer could have had a split personality where one of his alters is a murderer and the other doesn´t remember anything; the killer could have committed all crimes in the past, had an accident, lost his memory and lived as a new person but with occasional unexplained lashes of rage and violence that scare himself. Or his memory could have been overwritten like for little Ji Wook. I mean, I loved the cute and the office gang, but since it is I Remember You writer, I wanted to feel chills all over my body, too. I am feeling about 35% of IRY level with this show.
I was sooooooooo wrong. I didnt think I´d eat my words so soon. The amnesia was there from the start. woah. what. I mean, hold on… let me gather my earthly remains… woah. that twist. woah. he killed BECAUSE of the amnesia. shit. I mean shit. forget 35%, it raised to 67% now. Keep rising, keep rising.

I didn’t watch that one. I just think this one has turned into a steaming pile of meh.
