This drama has so much potential. It has a unique concept and a great storyline. It shows cinematic views, amazing soundtrack and talented set of actors. This is one of the most intense drama that I've watched. I remember looking forward to weekends so I can watch this. I cried, laughed and feel for the characters. Hyun Bin as ML was exeptional. You can see that he's one hell of an actor. His character has one of the best development and Hyun Bin as an actor was given a great opportunity to show different emotions. However, Park Shin Ye suffered from a poorly written character. I don't think it's the actress fault, it's not because she lacks the skill in acting. It's just how her character was written.

Memories of Alhambra ended with many questions left unanswered. This has the kind of ending that would like the viewers to think and conclude on their own. But it's impossible to do that with the many plot holes subjected for the sake of keeping the story interesting. There was no conclusion at all. No closure. It's like you're riding a fast car with a breathtaking view, but you never reach your destination. You go round and round (so many flashbacks and repetitive scenes) but the car just broke down, and left you stranded. That's how it feels. I'm not expecting an over the top happy ending. I know from the way it started, it might not end well. But atleast a decent ending that the characters and the viewers deserved should have been considered.

So if you're looking for a unique storyline with great cinematography and superb acting, you may give this a try.

But if you're looking for romance and happy endings, this one isn't for you.
