tvN Sat-Sun drama Memories of Alhambra is the comparative late bloomer of the high profile December 2018 premieres, having a weaker beginning that is being bolstered by increasingly strong episodes as the drama progresses. It’s headed towards the conclusion very in control of the fantasy narrative and has built emotional consequences so that I care about what happens to the leads. Episode 11 got 9.431% ratings while episode 12 is getting close to 10% with 9.851%, with the story ramping up for a thrilling final four episodes showdown/rescue mission likely back in Granada.
Jin Woo remains the center of the entire story but his relationship with Hee Joo changed from amorphous to romantic with one kiss that I welcome only because it gives Hee Joo more to do than to cry and worry over either Jin Woo or missing brothe Se Joo. Jin Woo’s life is falling apart and I don’t blame him for glomming onto sane and kind life line Hee Joo, I just hope they have time to actually date after this is all over because right now it’s a total rebound for him. As for the AR game mystery, Jin Woo gets backstabbed by the Professor and decides to stop being nice and bring him into the life-and-death stakes game with him, about time dude!

Here first before the three stooges provide same nasty comments.
LOL. I’m totally in agreement with Ms Koala here. Jin Woo is the only main character of this drama. Everything evolves around him only. It has made me love Hyun Bin though. His acting is just top notch. I just wished the writer wrote the female lead better with less tears. Every single episode is tiring.
I don't think thats what she/he meant by "nasty comments" lol.
Netflix better buy the rights to Hyun Bin’s films because his acting there seems even better and I want to watch them.
That's it? We will see rating in episode.16. Better next time hyun bin.
I love this show although I find W is more balanced in terms of the roles of the leads: lee jong suk and hyo Joo.
Here, the burden appears to rest a lot more on Hyun Bin. However I am not complaining ya... just enjoying the show as it is. And Park Shin Hye looks really lovely in this show.
Ep 11 was awesome.
I am surprised to hear this because I am getting frustrated with the plot, and editing. I won't be tuning in anymore unfortunately. While I am not at all interested in the romance, the revelation of side stories later on (which I do admit provides some meat to events that happen) are not substantial enough to warrant the slow progression of the story telling. I see what they're trying to do but it's a no from me due to the execution. I cannot believe I spent 11 episodes and the story has only moved from Chapter 1 to Chapter 5 (at best). Sorely disappointed.
you're right! so many flashback and repeated!
PSH with her perpetual "deer caught in the headlights" expression...
this drama and sky castle are my all time favorite !
The drama feels like filler from episode 5.
Can't wait for this to end.
W might have a bad second half but still feels more action-pack and tight than this drama.
Loving the drama so much so no complaints except still not feeling Park Shin Hye's acting much. Her crying scenes still suck. This kiss scene is by far Hyun Bin's best besides Hyde Jekyll, Me and Worlds Within. Hyun Bin slaying. ??? I ma be sadden because Memories of Alhambra is coming to an end. Please hope Hyun Bin pick up another drama after this one end. He's a top notch actor so I don't care if the drama hit or not as long as I get yo see him act.
I don't want this drama to end yet. I can't get enough of Hyun Bin mesmerizing performances. He is so amazing.
I really like how the drama balances between the game and the real life. It's very interesting to see Jin Woo to have to fight in the two worlds. The drama is clearly about him and it doesn't bother me. Hyun Bin is really great in this role. Hee Joo is a good side character. She let us see the flirty side of Hyun Bin \o/
