The plot of this drama is so similar to the drama He is Psychometric
February 24th, 2020 at 3:57 pm

February 26th, 2020 at 12:07 pm
Psychometric part 2 with better cast? LOL
Can’t wait to check it out.

I have seen all his dramas and movies
So excited to watch this amazing actor’s drama
March 13th, 2020 at 2:06 pm
When they tried to cramped the whole episode into episode 1 . Train wreck.

Memorist is great thriller drama. The actings are superb.I’m looking forward to the next episodes.

I love Yoo seung ho and Lee se Young’s acting, it’s really clean. I hope there’s a bit of romance between the two, it’ll make it more interesting.

Best drama to watch after Doctor John.

I watch is because of Yoo Seung Ho.
I started to watch 4 episodes at one go last night.
Kind of disappointed if you compare to Jang Hyuk drama – tell me what you saw.
Memorist – Solving crimes are so draggy.
4th episodes and you still can’t find the killer.
Conversation also boring.
The lady actress acting as superintendent n profiler NOT convincing. Any hooligans or prosecutors can just bully her and Yoo Seung Ho.
Too many new actors n actresses.
Prosecutors look more like gangsters of their crook face
Lead actor Yoo Seung Ho always beaten up even though he is a cop though he is smart.
This drama is quite “messy” bc prosecutors or gangsters will appear in big group.
I will skip.
Yoo Seung Ho ssi – hope next round you will be
more careful choosing a better script. Fighting!!!

If I can read people’s mind I will keep it to myself.
I will not be like Yoo Seung Ho that let the whole world knows about his special ability. Bad people will try to avoid him being touch.

After I watched Ep 6 . I come to say “ I will take a break” . What is it Story line about? Memoirist? Who is more intelligent? Ohhhhh disappointing. Anyway fighting . And the girl lead she is so beautiful .still need more amazing for her acting in this role.

I will continue watching because of Yoo Seung Ho’s acting. Love how the past scenes are “repeated” in the present times. Hoping for more plot twists in the next episodes.

I love this drama…it’s so thrilling, I love the acting of all the characters, I also love that it’s unpredictable.
April 4th, 2020 at 6:21 pm
I don’t like the female lead, her acting is not good enough. She is absurd and trying too hard so her acting not seem natural… I stop watching this drama although I like yoo seung ho
April 7th, 2020 at 1:03 pm
@Rachel,
if you really like Yoo Seung-ho then you should watch this drama til the end. No need to bash other actress just for the sake of your post. I like Lee Se-young and I think she did great! Although the plot isn’t as interesting as “Tell me what you saw” but still a good drama to watch in April.

Episode 8 is daebak (that cliffhanger)!!! For those who haven’t watched yet or stopped watching, now is the time to get back to it. I too got frustrated at times because of some scenes where it’s unrealistic, but the latest episode changed my mind. Gonna watch it until the end. Kudos to all the people involved in making this drama.👍
April 9th, 2020 at 10:04 pm
Thanks to the writer the story drag to much to a T. The episode should be shorten .
April 15th, 2020 at 8:00 pm
I watch this drama because of Lee Seyoung..
April 19th, 2020 at 5:20 am
Its really good tv show I like it I like casts and story http://vinadl.net/series/%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%84%D9%88%D8%AF-%D8%B3%D8%B1%DB%8C%D8%A7%D9%84-%DA%A9%D8%B1%D9%87-%D8%A7%DB%8C-memorist/
just 4 more ep and it would be finished
April 23rd, 2020 at 6:56 pm
It seems a lot of the same genre of k drama now, though I love the 2 main lead actor but I feel bored …. till eps 6

Memorist is a must watch drama! It is one of the best mystery thriller I’ve ever watched and It is better than ‘He is psychometric’ they have the same powers but there is so much difference between them. Every episode is more intense and mindblowing! Its rating is low because as u said it’s cable but not only that if u just put memorist on a good timeslot i’m sure the rating is much higher.

People who are saying the female lead’s acting is not convincing/not good enough are prob’ly new to kdramas. Seems like they don’t have the faintest idea that Lee-Se-Young is a famous kid actor.
