4.5 is not the lower this drama could go. Honestly, if it wasn't for the acting I would have given it even less stars. 'Memorist' is a whole mess and it surely is overrated, at least from my point of view.

I won't write a long review for this one even though I have a lot to say mainly because just remembering what a hard time I had watching the episodes makes me want to finish as soon as possible. As you can see, I dropped 'Memorist' and I have good reasons.

I thought a lot about finishing it, since it was airing it wouldn't be hard to watch two episodes a week, right? But I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I don't watch dramas as a duty but as a pleasure and this wasn't enjoyable at all. The episodes seemed to last three hours when they were only an hour long, the female lead was so annoying that I almost always wanted to punch her in the face, and the characters in general weren't developed at all; I can say this sure enough because I endured to watch 8 episodes of this mess only to be able to tell. When did we get to know the characters? We didn't. It was all about crimes and even they were badly written and didn't make sense.
The leads were so plain I don't know how I could watch them go around for 8 hours. I don't usually watch crime dramas but when I do I surely enjoy them, and this wasn't the case. For a drama to be compelling there has to be more than just one element to focus on, just like we get some crimes/tragedies while watching a romance-focused drama. This drama doesn't have anything other than crimes and corruption everywhere. I'm out.
