They both deal with the subject of lovers dealing with early memory loss and how it effects their relationship. Both are melodramas and acted extremely well. Heart tugging and lovely if you are in the mood for melo. Nicely done.

Both drama deal with Alzheimer's disease and its impact to the patient and their surroundings. They both focus on the emotional impact along with relationships before and after the diagnosis. While Memory focuses more on familial love, A Thousand Days' Promise deals with more romance.
