Review – I Remember You / Hello Monster

I will remember this show… until I’m dead. I am a sucker for sympathetic villains and this drama featured not one but TWO.

Plot:  Basically, two young brothers are separated in childhood after one is kidnapped by a teenage serial killer.  The story is what happens when they are reunited in adulthood… including the reunion with the serial killer.

To say that I loved this show is an understatement.  I love a lot of dramas.  If I didn’t love K-dramas, I wouldn’t bother with this blog.  There are tons of great K-dramas.  And for every K-drama, there is one that seems made… if you can find it… just for you.  As if K-World read your diary and said, “Oh, you like this, eh?” Then created a drama that matched your secret wish list, wrapped it up like a present, tied it with a bow, and put your name on it.

This drama HAUNTED ME.  I loved it so much! I loved everything about it. The romance, the cop shenanigans, the mystery plot lines – everything was perfection. But the center of this story is about nature vs nurture. Do we create monsters or are they born? Can they change? Can they learn? Can a monster evolve into a human being?

I’m not even using poetic license when I say I had dreams about this show.  I literally had dreams about this show.  

Overall Rating – 12/10.  Monsters Make Their Own Families.
