Memories of Alhambra Breaks 10% Ratings in Episode 14 as Jin Woo Completes Mission and Se Joo Returns

View Comments

• Grats Moa team!

• I'm happy the ratings are steady till the end :)

  The SF drama always has bad luck.

  They used very well the Spain and the history. It was not just a way to make it more exotic but was really a part of the drama.

• Hahaha, I totally agree with your last sentence. I can’t feel Jon Woo and Hee Joo’s love at all.

  • I think the story doesn't need the female lead and the writer said that two exwives are more important than FL to develop her main male character this is the truth .

    • She really said that? =O omg. She could have done us all a favour and not have heejoo written in then. I mean what's the point of her lol

    • Omg why did an actress who is titled one of the biggest names of her generation accept a drama where she is just a plot device to develop the male lead? Maybe they tricked PSH.

    • Yes she said that you can read her new interview you will find that the writer doesn't need any character beside her male hero development.

• Funny how the writer gave an interview and said she was influenced by Pokémon Go to write MOA and I recall the early days when the drama started someone mentioned it here. Hopefully SSJ has been reading the commentary that followed too. This weekend brings us all closure and it’s been quite interesting how it has all evolved over the last 2 months but I’m happy that HB has redeemed himself and increased his fan base too -that perhaps is the best thing that has happened in MOA.

• The main couple’s romance is so random. Hee Joo has no self respect it seems, looks like a desperate case of self esteem issues. All Hee Joo does is cry all day long after Jin Woo lol. For what? The whole development of their love line was super lame. PSH’s character is so pointless, the drama would’ve been as good without her. The kiss scenes were super bad, Jin Woo grabs her face, she leans back with a dull expression and he smooshes his lips agains hers and she just stays there. Isn’t PSH tired of directors doing her dirty like that? Does she watch movies and dramas and learn how to look relaxed and into it when you kiss? I think PSH should do something else than romance genre because she simply is not convincing in it.
  Ex-wives…. very unnecessary too? I can’t believe Song Jae Jung as a woman herself can write such crap about female characters? All of the female characters exist there to develop Jin Woo, all of the female characters exist there to teach Jin Woo something? Whadafuq ??? The PPL is sooooo bad and obvious, PSH was just a walking PPL mannequin, she had no other valid purpose there…… the programming part is so dumb too. How the hell can a 17 yo boy program something so complex that it disturbs the space and time too??

  • Exactly what I said lol. She has no self respect. No wonder she has no female friends. I wouldn't wanna be friends with someone like her either. Forced lame random romance with zero spark. It's like watching an elder bro drag his younger sis around in the last episode lol

    Your description of the kisses...on point! Lol. He just smashes his mouth against her while she leans back n constipates. Hyun bin doesn't even look like he's into it himself. She needs to stay away from romance. Really. I don't think I've seen her have any spark with her costars except Lee Jong suk.

    The ex wives are there as plot devices for jinwoo, so unnecessary n badly written.

    Laughing at how sejoo can program something so complex too. Which I guess is probably why it went all wrong...

    Drama is actually very boring so I'm surprised at it's high ratings

• This drama is boring af. Hard to believe it reached 10% when better dramas earlier this year could not reach it.
  Would have been compelling if its a movie, as the idea seemed unique at first. Or a 8-10 episode drama.
  K-drama need to learn from J-dramas and not make a mandatory 16 episode count for every drama.

• I gave up watching this at episode 9 and I don't regret it. I'm just scanning recaps. The only really good episodes were 1 to 4. The rest up to now have been just filler, ppl ads and a convoluted storyline which makes very little sense n has tons of loopholes. The editing n flashbacks were so jarring and confusing.

  The only fleshed out character is jin woo with literally everyone revolving around him. Doesn't help that Hyun bin is acting well here, as if he's in a movie and watching the most of the other cast feels like I'm watching another average drama.

  Heejoo is completely lame and unnecessary I wonder why she was even needed? The drama is a jin woo centred one anyway. She serves literally no purpose and cries every episode n chase jinwoo around. A man who literally makes use of her, lies to her, is a jerk and quite possibly making use of her feelings for him. Does she have any self respect? She also doesn't seem to concerned about her brothers life.

  Also, i see zero chemistry between Hyun bin n PSh. Zero. He has gravitas and charisma and she can't compare at all. This is the problem when you cast actors that are quite a bit older than their female counterpart. The romance is unnecessary, lame and forced. The two kisses were so random and lame? Psh as usual looks constipated and grossed out. I've watched a few of Hyun bins work and I gotta say it's go to be the worst kissing I've seen from him. Maybe he was offended at how constipated psh always looks lol.

  Acting wise, psh dramas will from now on be a hard pass for me. She can't act and is so image conscious. She tends to accept roles like these I suspect due to the money, the international reach and the fact that she gets to work with Hyun bin. Every single role of hers is the same. She has the same behaviour, same expressions, everything, heejoo is cha eun sang 2.0 but at least the latter had some sort of personality. Also, I don't find her attractive in the least. Her crying is awful. She needs to stop taking productions n go back n get into acting classes.

  I'll not be rewatching this drama. Not even Hyun bin can save it for me.

• And when Hee Joo was in Spain not once did she attempt to make paella??!? Why?? Yep my only gripe about MOA was the characterisation of Hee Joo why even bother creating her in the first place.

• I like the drama enough but it’s all Hyun Bin and perhaps some secretary seo and Director park. So bromance hits the spots but romance...if Hyun Bin was a bad kisser it would have been unbearable but at least he is a good one and I guess it doesn’t matter who he has to kiss. (Because in my mind I rather it be me anytime LoL wahahaha)

  But on a serious note- Hee Joo has to cry every episode- it’s tiresome and totally unnecessary.
  Can someone link me to the writers interview because I want to know what was the basis of writing such a character in such an awesome premise!

  • You will get disgusted by her I won't watch her works at all how she is hating her female characters that much she thinks that they aren't needed then why you call those actresses seriously.

  • Sjj interview here https://m.entertain.naver.com/ranking/read?oid=144&aid=0000591637&rankingType=default&rankingDate=20190115

• Looking at the screen shots out of context, another idea for the plot comes to mind.
  What if JW fell in love with Emma in the game, not knowing it was based on a real person? Emma actually aided him, giving him advice and courage throughout the game's various missions. Then, once he managed to free SJ, the real Emma steps out from behind her brother! Look! She's real! and the tentative romance begins as the game ends...

  • That would have been way better than whatever is happening right now lol
