The chemistry. We’re used to seeing Park Shin Hye lead her dramas; in this drama she takes the backseat and never truly shine. Learn how your comment data is processed.

Sadly, the same cannot be said for Shin Hye’s character Hee Joo which I thought was seriously under-developed. However, I personally would have given this role to a rising actress or a talented unknown actress who could have benefited from Hyun Bin’s status; I would have NEVER picked Park Shin Hye. It is truly sad to see it spiraling the wrong direction towards the end. It was truly an ambitious interesting idea. I will start by commending her boldness; I don’t see many female writers ready to experiment with their scripts, most of them don’t stray away from what we’re so used to with kdramas. So in case you’re wondering whether you should watch or not, I am here to discuss the drama without getting into spoilers, I hope this helps you decide whether you should watch or not. I just rewatched Memories of Alhambra, yes… despite the bad ending. He starts out as a basic character but slowly changes, his reality changes and so his life due to series of events during the drama runtime. Song Jae Jung pushes the envelope but she takes it too far. They do fall into the cliché hate relationship that turns into love over time. I would have personally preferred if Shin Hye’s character became a rival or a source of stress to Hyun Bin’s character, that would’ve made things wayyy more interesting and it would’ve fit the script well too. The first half of the drama goes well and it’s very exciting, things go downhill during the second half. thank you so much for reading!I also felt sad to see that this is how her role turned out to be. Yes, I did find some inconsistencies and weird stuff and I didn’t enjoy Park Shin Hye as much but I was glued to my seat for every episode and that what matters for me. I like Hyun Bin when he takes risks and I loved him in this drama. I am not judging the script based on the fact that its fictional because it would be stupid of me to rationalize areas that can’t be rationalized, it would be unnecessary nitpicking. I brought this up to partially compare both dramas writing-wise, “Memories Of Alhambra” feels like “W: Two Worlds” on adrenaline, it’s a very bumpy ride, it’s a rollercoaster of emotions. Yes, he’s rich, famous and handsome but he doesn’t fall into staple stale characters that are easily forgettable. This is why some kdrama fans might flat out tell you not to watch this drama, however, if you still don’t mind dramas with bad/disappointing endings, please continue to read. The final 2 episodes will be fast-paced and action-packed, with Se Joo revealing what happened during the time he went missing and Hee Joo trying to bring the love her life back. I wished the writer would have made a clear choice, you either go all in on the romance part or omit it, not half-ass it (if that’s even a word). 'Memories of the Alhambra' spoilers: Se Joo is back, but is Jin Woo now trapped in the game? i wonder who you are with all the long writing Now this where kdrama fans also get into a heated debate around Park Shin Hye’s character.

2018 hasn’t been very kind with innovative or entertaining dramas, most of the dramas felt flat during the second half of its run time but this wasn’t what happened with “Memories Of Alhambra.” In fact, it got ridiculous as time went by, a trait of Song Jae Jung scripts. My problem with Song Jae Jung is that she doesn’t keep track of what she writes. Follow us for more daily content.

The story is extremely intriguing and gripping, one of the few kdramas of 2018 to have been able to keep me glued to my screen waiting patiently weekly. “Memories Of Alhambra” is written by Song Jae Jung, and in case you didn’t know who that was, she is the same writer behind the immensely popular drama “W: Two Worlds” led by Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo.

I liked the two actors chemistry and wished to see more of it, however, the script is lacking in that regard. “Memories Of Alhambra” boasts as the first Kdrama focused on AR Games, with a budget of $25 million, you beat they delivered! You see, for me, I don’t really mind when the story is a little bit weird or the ending is not a perfect fairy tale. You missed it! Now this where kdrama fans also get into a heated debate around Park Shin Hye’s character. I have enjoyed rewatching it even with its faults. it shocked me too. She can’t glue together her own ideas. Writer Song Jae Jung has been writing for so many years and it still feels like you’re watching something a rookie writer would put out. I have to give a fair warning, this is a spoiler free review however, I must say the ending is unexpected, meaning you’re probably NOT going to like it.

The amount of dedication u spent on this article… You like interesting different kdramas that don’t follow the usual route.

I am a huge fan of PSH and I was honestly disappointed because this did not showcase her talents very well. However, it has some serious flaws. Because the budget is $25 million, that’s why. I've been a fan of kdramas since 2012 and counting~ Join me as I discuss some of the hottest currently airing kdramas, and if you have any requests for a kdrama review, please let me know in the comment section of any article. His character was written so well and with all honesty, it’s difficult for me to ever imagine someone else playing the same character. Yoo Jin Woo becomes this beaten, psycho, in-way-over-his-head CEO who is trying so hard to make ends meet walking in the darkness.

You’re a fan of Hyun Bin, Shin Hye or both. You have entered an incorrect email address! It looks like a movie almost because of its high production quality. Hyun Bin’s character is one of the most interesting ones I have seen in recent years. This is why some kdrama fans were not happy with how the writer dealt with Park Shin Hye’s character. Hopefully the writer Song is able to tie up all the loose ends in a Season 2. “Start-Up” Episode 2 Review And Recap- A Shockingly Childish Premise But Still Fun, “Start-Up” Episode 1 Review And Recap- A Heartfelt Promising Premiere. She cries often, she worries often; she does almost nothing of substance throughout the drama runtime which is sad because Park Shin Hye could have benefited the drama well. I agree … The ending was very disappointing and also I was hoping for reunion between the two lead characters which we didn’t get…. He is not entirely a good person, he makes lots of mistakes. At times he felt like an object of some sort rather than a main character, sometimes, she felt like a secondary or supporting character in her own leading drama. The problem is that Song Jae Jung doesn’t do well explaining her script.

Though I see loophole on it, S1:E9, where he received a call by someone yet he was already in the hostel and heard it that the brother is arriving by train. “Do You Like Brahms?” Episode 16 Recap- Was “Do You Like Brahms?” Ending A Happy One? He took on the villain role for the first time in his career in 2018’s film “The Negotiation” which I thought was an excellent career choice. If it weren’t for Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye I highly doubt this drama would’ve even been made because it’s so ridiculous. He’s a key character in the drama but only briefly appears in it. It’s atheistically pleasing and well-polished. There are some kdramas that are completely written before they’re completely shot but that’s like 5% of all kdramas. Park Shin Hye takes on another role in the drama as well. They get involved together and obviously fall in love.

She even had to talk to the press to explain the core idea of the plot and why certain events happened because a lot of viewers just didn’t understand. It has so much potential!! This means a lot of things happens throughout the drama that doesn’t make sense since it talks about ideas and principals we haven’t yet experienced. She doesn’t know when or where or how to stop, this means “Memories Of Alhambra” ended up being a total mess. I didn’t have extremely high expectations going in because it appeared to be yet another tale about prince charming and the damsel in distress.

You might think I am harsh for saying this but this is honestly how I feel about what she writes, I really believe that the only reason people tolerate her scripts is because she and the director are able to get their hands on hallyu stars. She was cursed out for the ending, and because it was a bad ending people started recalling what they understood of the drama and completely dissected it, leading to the point that people heavily criticized her for how poorly she wrote the drama. i really am not a fan of kdrama and i stopped obssesing it fr more than 5 yrs now. I also liked the way he interacted with Shin Hye and her younger on-screen sister Min Joo (played by actress Lee Re). I personally didn’t check out the press conference so I didn’t know it was about AR [Augmented Reality] going in, so I went in thinking it was something and was shocked to find out it was something completely unrelated to the original vague plot and that excited me. She had to do that towards the end of the drama. Chanyeol is by no mean the best idol actor but he’s okay.

He deserves a round of applause for his performance because I noticed he improved and that I appreciate. I share exactly the same sentiments as your review! So, kudos to the actors and directors for taking up such a challenging project. There are many around waiting for their big break. Despite the fact that she played two characters, I found her character disposable for the most part. This goes back to the talk about the script. It was like she wants there to be romance for the sake of the kiss but it doesn’t really add or subtract from the plot.
