View Comments

• Omg ep4...is just nerve wrecking - it’s absolutely rocking!
  My choices don’t always align with the ratings- so it’s not too much a surprise - but just really - I hope this drama gets the love it deserve because if not people won’t make such creative choices anymore!

  I feel the same for park shin yeh- she’s not acting well but a silver lining I see now (thank god) - I don’t know how - she’s still stiff and everything but I’m slowly and surely feeling the chemistry between the OTP.
  It’s probably hard to give her credit because I think it’s Hyun Bin carrying it mostly - I think he can create chemistry with anything or anyone. I really like his interpretation of Jin woo - For his sake and the quality of this drama - I hope it goes up.

  • Doubt it will affect Song Jaejung. Her previous dramas were also only okay in ratings, but it didn't affected her from continuing to write creative stories.

  • It did go up. Episode 4 ratings is 8.154% The drama just set a new record. MOA is a refreshing show to watch ;)

    • Great news - honestly i’ll Be sad if ratings drop off because ep4 was really well done and it shows!
      Encouraging for the production team- I have great feelings on the writing- it seems tight! My expectations are now soaring and I hope the writer can meet it.

• Well let's put it this way, Memories of the Alhambra style and genre is not just for everyone, like W wasn’t either. Hyun Bin is definitely carrying this drama for now. PSH is decent but I still don’t like her over-exaggerating style of acting because it comes off cartoonish, and disingenuous. She should tone it down a little bit and be more natural. She’s been acting the same for years, even when the genre and the character changed. HB is the same too, but this is the umpteenth time he’s playing a rich CEO. At least neither of them are outright bad actors so it’s still watchable.
  I dislike the setting that the male lead is filthy rich and experienced and the girl is clueless and has no experience. It’s so tired and should have stayed in 2012. Even if this drama is all about unrealistic AR, at least make the characters realistic and relatable.

  • I agree to a certain extent - do feel Hyun Bin is doing a little different
    I guess it’s still chaebol - but I like that his character is a little morally immoral....he’s making some choices in the story that I don’t expect and that’s judos to good writing. Spoiler alert
    For example; between him and his rival friend I know there’s bad blood but the story seems to suggest it’s probably the usual bffs gone wrong and still properly care for each other - so you would have thought that by seeing his dead friend again in the AR he would ask “dude I’m sorry - are you ok, what’s going on etc” ... but he goes ahead by instinct and kill him again?!!
    I like it - he’s not a great guy by nature and now he’s being haunted by this friend which is pretty ingenious

    • Honestly, it’s like watching Cha Eun Sang + Go Minam version 2. Same mouth half open, droopy eyebrows and eye widening, same cringy expressions. Her innocent acting annoys me a lot. Just when I thought she made a slight improvement in Doctors, she just regressed. Her game character is way more interesting than her character outside the game, maybe in future episodes it will be ok. But for now, HB is hard carrying tbh. In her 2 yrs of hiatus, PSH acting just regressed. Seems like the girl has no ambition or desire to work around her flaws.

    • Lmao Hyun Bin and Park Shinhye together is like watching older Kim Joo-won and Cha Eun-sang.

• I like Moa but I feel like they are taking their own sweet time to reveal all the answers... on top of creating new questions every episode. It's slightly confusing. But I'm in for the ride. Hyun Bin is too charming.

• Meh it doesn't interest me much but I do love some PSH.

• I love this drama nonetheless and could careless for the ratings. Hyun Bin slay as an actor who really please me with his outstanding performance. I love creative idea.

• SKY CASTLE , less known actors but great acting. I didn't ear about this drama until it get aired . And i was hooked since the beginning. Very instructive for a western as me. But not surprising , still remember when i watched one of my favs movies Dead poets society.

• LMAO to those proud fans of MOAs. This drama suck because it can't even go higher than 7% ratings. Sad to any director and producer who's still willing to give Hyun Bin a chance. He is the real drama killer. Nothing from him ever hit big except for Secret Garden. A pretty much overrated drama that is so cliche and cheesy. I hope this will give any future director to think twice before offering him another drama. Memories of Alhambra is so bland with two very boring and bland actors. Hopefully when Chanyeol appear again he'll help safe this dreadful production.

  At the end of the day Encounter still win because their actors are superb and never recycled their characters like MOAs.

  • Why do you have to mention encounter here? I am a fan of encounter but I dislike when ppl try to make a fan war ..urrrg, just stop it.

    • Well it's the truth so these MOA'S fans need to realize their OTP and overhyped drama suck big time. Encounter was bashed badly so in their face.
      Time to go rewatch Encounter.

  • You don’t need to create more fire on the top of this, do you?

    • Sounds like a hurt shipper "fan" of Hyun Bin.
      Leave her to bark.

  • You sound pretty much like his ridiculous shipper. Go cry to all your unnie despite what ever shipper you belong to of his. Dam I'm seriously tire of seeing all his dam stupid desperate fan shipper from (HyunBinxSongHyeKyo, HyunBinxHaJiWon, HyunBinxHanJiMin and more to mention) can you guys just shut up? Freaking move on already and stop being bitter about whatever he does. Give the guy a break. If you can't stand him then just ignore his works.

    Memories of Alhambra is epic because I'm too tired of seeing your typical sad love story romance. So you can brag about Encounter and Song Hye Kyo and Park Bo Gum all you want. The drop ratings is nothing to people who actually watch a drama for it's worth and excellent acting chop.

    Thank god the director chose Hyun Bin for her Memories of Alhambra project, I'm can't see anyone else playing Yoo Jin Woo. This drama is what I call excellent.

    • HBxSHK shippers still exist?

  • A retarded Ha Jiwon fan again I assume.
    Guess this is the only way she can get attention now... by leeching onto Hyun Bin.

    • Wrong so try harder.

    • @Lover - let me try to guess - you do not have friends, you cannot find a lover, you are a jealous person who likes to talk bad about anything and anyone, you have no focus in life, you have no hobbies, you cannot stand people who are proud, you do not like fans who are happy, you are one sour grape who needs help.

  • 'It can't go higher than 7 percent.'

    Well, it just did! Stay pressed!

    • For a high budget production this is crap. Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye don't even deserve the hallyu title. For god sake they suck at acting. I've seen better actors and more high profile actress that deserves the A-list status but definitely not these two. Even Chanyeol wow me with his performance.

    • They are hallyu because they get non-fans like you to watch the drama just to hate on the actors.

  • Ah poor CJ chaebol why you still offer him drama? After failure with negotiation, rampant and now this MOA? I'm shocked after now that tvn paid hyun bin 100 million per eps. What wasted money!! Didn't tvn now that also sbs paid him also 100m in hyde jekyll me? That wasted money even sky castle have better rating with unknown actress/actor. Please tvn/studio dragon don't put your high budget drama on weekends cause it will be failure again KBS weekend drama. Please binnie go reflect before comeback with another project 25b was so much money than goblin or dots. I can Encounter see also drop in rating because the writer was suck and only depend with two lead.

    • Translation: Blah blab blah I hate Hyun Bin and Song Hyekyo.

    • Haha what a nice way to summarize Bannednetizenbuzz's rubbish language.

    • Lmao blahh... It's not me that making rumor on IG and Twitter lols. Thats stupid chaeki shipper always starting bad rumours. If accused me as netizenbuzz you are crazy and delusional. You just crazy defend flop actor?????

  • change username again, its obvious u are not watching or even an encounter fan, can read through u,

  • You are the delusional sega shipper that is hating all hyun bin's leading lady stop pretending to be a encounter fan. You think people wont recognize you.

  • both dramas are doing good...so why don't we just enjoy it..no need to mention and compare each other because they are obviously different genre..
    I am big fan of Song Hye Kyo and Park Shin Hye...they are the main reason I watch both drama and I like both drama so much...esp Encounter..
    please don't create fan war here and there because it is not doing any good for your bias.

• I don't plan on going on with MOA , i just don't connect with the characters . Sad because once again i will have to wait for another drama with him.

• Omg my poor Binnie don't waste your times on these kind of production and also to pair up with all these none talented actresses who only here to look good but can barely delivered anything to the table. Go back to act with your talented goddess Jiwonnie.

  • Why didn't the talented goddess make her last two dramas hits?

  • Nah Ha Jiwonnie should stick to acting with rape suspects and idols.

  • I don't think Hyun Bin is in love with your goddess so you're one delusional person. Hyun Bin is happy to pair up with anyone so you're butt jealous.

  • aigooo...move on already.

  • Move on already why are Sega shipper so annoying.

• I love how the drama start and still going all in for it. Hyun Bin carried the drama very well but Park Shin Hye is not doing it for me. She is very stiff and is not natural. I'm still watching this for the plot and Hyun Bin.
