My memory gets worse with age, sigh, so how nice would it be to have a photographic memory. But not so good what Yoo Seung Ho‘s character has in the upcoming tvN drama Memorist – he can see the memory of any person he touches.

Awwww, I can’t believe the production team of Crash Landing on You didn’t just say to heck with it and let the final episode go past 2 hours.
