Memorist is a great show to watch during this long quarantine days. I watched it weekly and its cliffhangers really left me hanging. It gives shocking revelations and it is a show that made me think. It is refreshing since, almost all of my kdramas watched centered on romance plots. Some watchers wanted a romance plot however the show was able to stand without it (maybe the're are tiny bits of hints). There is great chemistry between YSH and LSY, and honestly, sometimes I kinda wished there's a romance plot.

The overall acting in this drama is so good. YSH is always good in playing the handsome hero. LSY gave a different performance this time. I watched her in Hit the Top, in which I love very much, and gave a different performance in this one. I've read some hatred on her character but I love my strong, independent women characters. I understand she has to act that way because she is in a high position at a very young age (she's a genius). The two cop characters beside dong Baek are also funny and was able to give lighter emotions to watchers. My personal favorite is Jin Jae Gyu. He's so good, I was so creeped by his premonitions and how he delivers it.

I may not rewatch this for a while since, watching the show weekly not knowing the shocking revelations gave me excitement to watch it.

Overall, I recommend this drama if you want a break from romance centered plots and want something darker and mind blowing. I'm glad I watched the drama during quarantine.
