The current bunch of prime time K-dramas hasn’t been all that buzzy but that doesn’t equate to failure. SBS leads the ratings for both Mon-Tues with Six Flying Dragons, and especially on Wed-Thurs with Remember (Son’s War), which was netting even better ratings than Dragons. In fact, the final episode of Remember which aired this Thursday broke 20% ratings, that magical number in this day and age probably equal to what breaking 40% in rating was like 5 years ago. I liked Remember, and not just because it starred my baby boy Yoo Seung Ho, it was actually second male lead Park Sung Woong who stole the show for me six episodes in.
I took a break after that because I wasn’t in the mood for a drama where the good guys continually get outwitted and outplayed, that would have driven my blood pressure up to watch weekly, especially if Yoo Seung Ho tears are heaped on top. Now that it’s done, this weekend is all prime for a marathon session and hopefully all the solid reviews are on the mark. If not then I’ll consider it a worthwhile time suck to admire Yoo Seung Ho’s expressive face for 14 consecutive episodes with some judicious FF-ing. The ratings for Remember really were awesome so the hardworking cast and crew definitely earned their wrap party honors as the cast looked happy and tired arriving to the shindig.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

I stopped watching after 8 episodes but will re start watching again. Congrats to the team !
What did park min young even do in this drama ? Her character was just there
I agree. As a fan, I felt quite cheated. Her character seemed like a filler. And for once, I dreaded the romance. I love her & YSH individually, but I didn't like their dynamics when they came together on screen.
Such a shame ,she has so much potential and I feel like she's being limited with just playing these side pieces.
I agree. It was the same supporting lady-lawyer role she did in A New Leaf -- just hanging around reacting to whatever the main guys do. So I wonder why she took it.
Sometimes these actors take these roles with a synopsis or just a few episodes written. She might not have realized. Regardless, she was in a hit drama and that does count for something (though I skipped this one).
boring drama if u into romance lik me. was hoping the writer would have give the male/feman lead a kiss scene or roance scene.
I stopped watching around ep 7 for the same exact reasons. One day I'll finish it for YSH though!
Aside from YSH being the always cute and lovable guy in my eyes! Just how cute is to see Park Sung Woong with an iron man charm on his phone! LOL!
I don't like the leads (actor and the characters). The supporting characters (or maybe because of the very strong actors)are more interesting for me.
I dropped this because the stupidity was just too much. Regret that this was the show that introduced me to YSH. Now I have just two expressions of YSH stuck in my mind, one of Jin Woo's wide happy smile and the other of his woeful crying face. I've read so much of this wonderful young actor so it's unfortunate because first impressions stick.

Loved Park Sung Woong. He was amazing and I am a new fan! I am not surprised this drama did well with the ratings. I have seen better dramas, but it's the kind of drama that the ahjummas and older generation koreans like.
I agree that this is the kind of drama that does well with a certain generation of Koreans. Good for the actors and crew. However, this type of melo mixed with makjang does nothing for me. I'm happy YSH had a successful post military production regardless of whether it's my cup of tea or not.
I really loved this drama, the actors were great. Park Sung Woong was really great. But this kind of story is depressing... Corruption, power of rich ones and they add alzeimer for the hero, it's too much for my little heart :)
As much as I loved this drama, I had to skip some episodes because I was so infuriated at the writers for giving Seo Jin Woo Alzheimer's. The storyline was already compelling enough with the mistrials, corruption, and revenge/justice plot. If they wanted to emphasize on JW's misfortune, witnessing his mom and brother's death as well as failing to prove his father's innocence before his death already caused him suffering enough. There was absolutely no point for him to have Alzheimer's on top of that.
Couldn't have said it better. I wholeheartedly agree.
