The tide has turned for tvN Sat-Sun drama Memories of Alhambra and not a moment too soon. The drama finally reversed a two episode slight ratings dip since it’s premiere episode as this past Sunday’s episode 4 rose to 8.154%, a notable increase from episode 3 which was in the 6% range. The ratings increase also coincided with episode 4 being the most narratively interesting episode to date, making me care about Hyun Bin‘s character Yoo Jin Woo finally. He’s still the only character of substance on screen as Park Shin Hye‘s hostel owner/candy character Jung Hee Joo or her NPC character Emma is full on background filler. But the slight uptick in cohesiveness in episode 4 gives me optimism the drama will do more with her (soon please!), and until then I can watch Jin Woo fight his dead/maybe not nemesis in the game and in his drama real life all day long.
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…

Hyun Bin's golden line in this episode has me swooning!
I am totally enjoying ep 4. Very interesting :-)
Second this. I planned to quit watching it but ep 4 brought me back with the story getting interesting. Hyunbin really carried this drama alone. Psh needs to work more harder. Her acting was too ordinary for a top star. Yet, i adore her fashion style in this drama. I hope the twist wont be as crazy as W, which i dropped half way.
Ordinary? Lmao the girl barely had screentime and room to act but she did everything she could.
Hb should carry the drama when he has 80% of the screentime and the story resolve around him
@Bye - tbh, PSH screentime was almost 50% in ep 3 & 4. I find her acting cringy, eg. lying on the bathroom floor trying to sob with no tears in her eyes. Her acting is plain blah, I agree with @Yui. The only charming scene was when she appears as Emma (but that's just her face & the veil). I don't understand what you mean by "room to act", even 20% screentime will allow her room to act. The second male lead has less screentime than PSH and his acting is Excellent!! If her performance so far is "everything she could", this tells us something... Just trying to be objective here. Yes, HB has been hard carrying this drama, but why? because the female lead sucks.
I quit after episode 2 but will give it a try since there were many positive comments on episode 4.
Sometimes I love being proven wrong. It was def. a surprise especially with the ratings for episode 3. Binnie in the rain with his hair up and wet.. ugh, can we get him back please? even tho he was sad, he was sexy sad.
I guess episode 5 will take a dip again. They should have left episode 4 without a preview.
Holy moly: looking for trouble golden line.
I feel literally attacked by Hyun Bin in this drama
This has to be his most visually ON FORM drama to date. I really like ep4 - it was a strong episode on the storyline and what an ending!
Jin Woo is quite a sneak, nothing he does is morally right in my opinion but he’s just such a smooth operator that you can’t help but care a little.
Episode 4 is epic with the creepy thrill and the fight scene with Dr. Cha. He creeps me out when he appear in front of Jin Woo's door. Hyun Bin is so fine especially with that little exchange words with Hee Ju. I'm squealing...inside. ???
Episode 5 look even more exciting.
OMG can't get over the Jin Woo in the rain and (You're looking for trouble) scenes. Had to rewatch that a couple times. Hyun Bin is so dam handsome and sexy. Give me butterflies in the stomach. I love this drama even more. Oops he's falling for her.
This drama is surprisingly good! I'm not really into sci-fi and fantasy, but man, it has kept me on my feet!
I really just want to know who Emma is and what happened to Jung Se Ju.
The mystery is killing me.
Episode 4 definitely gripped my attention, i like the premise even though it's similar to W, fiction/virtual becomes real etc.
Both HB and PSH are killing it. Episode 4 is gold.
