Memorials (2020)

Great Romcom

I liked it a lot more than I thought. It starts slow, FL is a noisy and stubborn person who can't maintain any job because she can tolerate injustice and she's famous for put like a million civilian complaints.
ML is a cold, stubborn, and inflexible dude who also has a great justice sense.
Once you know them and they start interacting the series starts to get better by the minute. Their chemistry was fantastic and even when the story it's a bit simple and you can expect most of the stuff that happens just the main couple make the series worth watching.

PD: Nana's laugh it's one of the fulfilling sounds that you can ear.
PD2: Small spoiler. When Nana waits for you to celebrate anything with her in your place and you ignore her as SML does in the first chapter you deserve nothing but pain.

Cinematically filmed with smart and sexy writing

The Director of Photography in this show is brilliant the framing, lighting and tonality is beyond compare. I know that it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the wide shots and low angles are absolutely beautiful. You can pick up the different lighting tones for each character within their environment, female lead has warm colors, offset by shots of the male character living in cool colors. There's one scene that beautifully has lighting in the background that reflects the party colors of the people in the room. It's so subtle, but creates such an amazing atmosphere for the entire show.
This show literally sets the bar for other dramas, and I doubt any will surpass it .The sharp writing, a strong female presence and wittiness, this Drama is one of my favorites from 2020. Worth watching for a tongue in cheek/cat and mouse political drama and intrigue full of thoughtful moments that don't get bogged down in melodrama.
The actors are also on point in every scene, and despite the romance being in the backseat, the playful chemistry is perfect. I've never seen Nana in anything before, but her facial expressions are pure gold, and her comedy timing is put to good use. Crazy amazing chemistry between the two leads, the like of which I have never seen before. This is a classic you'll want to watch over and over again.

GO FOR IT.

one of the best realistic yet fantastic drama ever. I’m in love with Nana y’all she’s such an great actress for a minute I forgot she came from the idol industry. this is my second park sunghoon’s drama (first obv being the glory) the duality these actors have is amazing (even mask girl comparison)

The story was totally different and worth watching. No one could ever hate it I watched this drama with a lot of expectations and it didn’t disappoint. The characters all had a meaningful (and annoying) sides of themselves which were remarkable. such an fun romcom !!

This made me laugh!

I found this one a bit different. Firstly ,the director or dp is fascinated by the go pro fishbowl shot ans and similar, but given the lighthearted take on the subject, it makes total sense. I had no idea honestly who Nana was or Ms Yoong aka the lead singer of the group (thanks Google ) but that made me approach this as a drama on its own merits. A few things I liked and a few I didn't. Regardless, it made me laugh. Clearly it was trying to draw attention to the truth in a way that wasn't confrontational, but it was the little things that I appreciated. Ep 9 for example, when they pose for a family photo in front of the new car, and immediately all strike a pose that shows exactly what they feel lol. Quirky, different, entertaining, and apparently some stars in it too! 😉

This is boring

This was boring, the characters were annoying and the comedy factor didn't save it. I would not pick this up again and wouldn't reccomend to anyone, unless they like unoriginal, boring plots. The only reason I started watching it because the main guy is from Psychopath Diary and the main girl is from Kill it (I reccomend these drama over this one anyday, it's so good), these actors are great but this storyline is so boring that I couldn't continue. It's just a recycled plotline from every other romance drama. The comedy factor did nothing to add to the drama either. I do not reccomend.

Okay, disagree with me if you must, but this is the first show I've ever had to drop

I pretty much disliked everything about what I saw of this show. The mood/filming was kind of dark, and it seemed like everyone was living a miserable life. The ML was non-descript with absolutely not expressions. And could someone please explain the haircut to me?!
The FL - when they write synopses for these kind of shows, this is someone that they would describe as quirky, or strong, or passionate. I would just say she was irritating.
You could see the graft of the government employees from a mile away and it appeared that was going to be the focus of the story. I was looking for romance. Every one of the characters was unlikeable, and I didn't feel like wasting my time to try to see if this show would redeem itself.

It is rare for me to drop a drama
Which means this is too bad for my taste
Not my cup of tea

Too boring
Too slow pace
The acting was weird

The main male lead was too cold
May be this is his role
But his face was literally blocked
I couldn't recognise his feelings at all
I really tried hard to go on watching but every time i couldn't pass just more than many other few scenes

It's more about political issues
The romance was at the behind which gave me the feeling it was lukewarm
May be i wasn't at drama mood
But definitely it couldn't capture my attention

I cannot recommend it for sure
