As I've mentioned in some comments I've made here, I am not the type to appreciate dramas with "age-gap issues". But still, I gave 'Find Me In Your Memory' a chance since I found the condition of the ML quite interesting. I am very glad and will never regret my decision to watch this drama.
STORY and PRODUCTION
I included production in this section of my review since it very much contributes to the storyline. The teamwork of the writer, director and those who worked for the drama's set, costumes and cinematography shines in the way each episode came out. I will not deny that some parts of the story may better have been excluded, but these do not, in anyway, make this drama less beautiful. Watching this drama felt like a journey on the sea aboard a cruise ship - the waves and winds may sway the ride at some point, but it is overall a relaxing trip with a view that delights the eyes and warms the heart.
CAST and ACTING
Kim Dong Wook and Moon Ga Young's age gap wasn't in any way noticeable - for me, at least. It is very obvious that they studied their characters very well and worked hard to make them come alive in their acting. The same is true for the other actors, whose characters are all loveable, but I'd like to mention in a special way, Yoon Jong Hoon, whose character, Yoo Tae Eun, is my favorite. I found myself being able to sympathize with his struggles and I was very happy with how his own story turned out in the end.
MUSIC
All the songs in this drama's OST are worth playing on loop. Period.
REWATCH VALUE
I could find myself watching this again after a string of heart-pounding and nerve-racking dramas. ^^
OVERALL
Having 'Find Me in Your Memory' as my first melodrama makes it all the more memorable.
To anyone who would give this drama a chance, you can expect 1) a comforting time with the characters where they are able to express themselves with honesty and sincerity, 2) moments that would challenge your detective skills in solving the thriller parts and 3) to discover that the impact of memories on our life is often based on our attitude towards them.
