Synopsis by Asianwiki"Find Me in Your Memory" depicts a love story between Lee Jung-Hoon (Kim Dong-Wook) and Yeo Ha-Jin (Moon Ga Young).Lee Jung-Hoon works as an anchorman at a broadcasting station. He has hyperthymesia, a condition that allows him to remember nearly every moment in his life. Meanwhile, Yeo Ha-Jin is a top actress. She has forgotten her past. Due to this, she lives as she pleases.
Find Me In Your Memory has finally come to an end after airing for almost 2 months. Today feels purposeless since I don't have to keep refreshing the mbcdrama youtube page to see the cutscene. I need to quickly find new drama to move on from this because if not, I will be forever stuck with honey sticky chemistry of Kim Dong Wook and Moon Ga Young. They portray well as a news anchor and a bubbly rookie actress. Well, that can be anticipated from Kim Dong Wook since he won Grand Awards (Daesang) at MBC Drama Awards 2019, meanwhile, Moon Gayoung career start early as she was a child actor with 13 years experience, therefore, she also can be foreseen as a great pair to Kim Dong Wook. The producer did a splendid job for casting these two as a love partner. Their flourishing on-off screen chemistry is so out of the world.
This is melodrama but it also packed with other genres, it has that comedy, thriller & crime. All complete! We not only be served with the main couple but we have 2 side couples which add more edge to the storyline. It is Lee Jinhyuk's debut role but with help from Kim Seulgi, it instantly makes them one of the adorable couples in the drama! Their scenes have the most adlibs scene and it proves that their teamwork is great.
To be honest, it has been a long time since I watch Moon Gayoung works. The last would probably be EXO Next Door. I had gained interest in her previous works but unfortunately, there is another drama that catches my eyes more. I heard Kim Dongwook name along with few A-list actors before this, but never actually knows him. To my surprise after watching 2 episodes of the drama, he is actually is Su-hong in Along With The Gods hit movie franchise. He wows me with his crying scene in the movie and still amazes with it today It strengthens the reason that I should watch the drama. I trust him and make me stayed until the end of the drama without the want to drop it unlike a few other dramas aired before FMIYM.
There is something about his acting especially his eyes. When he first annoyed at Hajin and then concerned for Hajin when she was kidnapped. He really expressed it well. He makes us swoon with his smile after falling for clumsy Hajin and that melted all of us. There is a scene where he gets mad with that creepy stalker. That gives me goosebumps, he looks hella angry and I was scared for a moment. As for Hajin, I love her blunt and straightforward her character is. She speaks out her thought and I adore that. She doesn't make it awkward cause I sometimes find this kind of character, the actress is hard to convey that sparkling and lively persona.
Another brilliant side or what got me hooked to this drama is thanks to the cinematography. In the first teaser, it shows us the red traffic lights. I'm not really expert at this kind of interpretation but it somehow tells that Junghoon was not ready to welcome Hajin yet in his life due to his memory with his late girlfriend who is coincidently is Hajin's best friend, but at the end of drama it becomes green! They are now up for it. They will go through all the obstacles together. They truly love each other now. They also have their own color. Hajin with yellow and Junghoon with blue I think that is so stunning. It expresses their character personality excellently and shows how this drama perfectly organizes and prepared everything. The breakup scene was sorrowful, however, they manage to look pretty with all the tulip flowers and backlight. I am so mesmerized with the background.
Gonna talk about Kim Dong Wook and Moon Gayoung enthusiasm instead. The lead actress opens up and personally runs her drama character-based Instagram (yeohajin___). The fanservice is really 100%, she posted a lot of pictures of our lovely OTP and other casts. Even though Kim Dongwook is not media social type of guy, (his thought about open up sns account is the same as Yang Sejong) he also contributes an idea on how to please the fans by suggesting to Gayoung to do Instagram Live whenever they could. With the lovestagram exist, fans always look forward to what Gayoung posts and never fail to flutter us with her onscreen boyfriend photos. By the way, I kid you not the way they behave in IG live are so natural like real lovebirds. They have this unspeakable sweet close bond. Moon Gayoung seems always has to take care of Kim Dongwook. He is older than her but he once said himself that he is a little bit childish and immature lol
I wish to add more gif both of them but thought it might be overwhelming to the reader, haha the intimacy between the two is so overpowering that it devastating to see the drama to end. I also had a massive amount of love with the OST! Especially with Jooyoung - Here We Are & Yangpa - A Memory In My Heart. It gives me so much feels, but most of it was sad feelings lol I didn't check the lyrics yet but bet I gonna cry after reading it. The ost adds flavors to their unfortunate fate.
I finished writing all my thoughts on this drama and I'm sure it was my most favorite drama for this year! I feel so contented with the drama. I made the best choice to watch this and so please with the ending! The drama deserves the never-ending complimentary cause it so well made! ♡
