Bad-Memory Eraser

This is a drama to think through. It brings up important issues

Normally, Bad Memory Eraser would not be the type of drama I would watch. The writing is too simplistic. Nonetheless, I see so much potential in this drama’s storyline which should resonate with many readers. The storyline addresses those who are self-doubters, those who feel hopelessly unassured of themselves. Bad Memory Eraser will entice those who lack confidence and motivation. That is not me. However, I want to be a support and show empathy to those who are self-doubters. I don’t want to show sympathy, because that is feeling sorry for you. I want to show empathy, because that is trying to put myself in your place and understand you. Are self-assured persons better than self-doubter? Not necessarily. Each of us all have our own private little demons we have to resolve.


Kim Jae-Joong as Lee Guni is the male lead.

The main cast include ML Kim Jae-Joong (Triangle), FL Jin Se Yeon (Born Again), actor Lee Jong Won (Knight Flower), and actress Yang Hye Ji (Nevertheless).


The Story

Bad Memory Eraser is about a self-assured, hot shot teen tennis player who is the bread winner of the family. This family includes mom and dad and little brother. The teen suffers a devastating injury which causes him to have to leave the sport. The parents now turn all of their attention to the little brother, who is cultured to be the next tennis hot shot family bread winner. The parents subject the older brother to being the butler to the new younger pro tennis sensation. This relegation of the older brother to servant status causes the older brother to question his self-worth and he becomes a self-doubter.
The story involves a Scientific invention which when attached to the brain, it removes bad memories. The accident of the older brother and the subsequent treatment by his parents all count as bad memories. The experimenters convince the older brother to become a human subject. The invention is no magic pill. It has its flaws.

Questions which arise to be answered while viewing Bad Memory Eraser are:

1. With bad memories being so apart of your being, would erasing bad memories necessarily make you a better person?
2. Can some people actually benefit from bad memories?
3. What happens when bad memories are attached to good memories with this eraser?
4. Would we necessarily like the person we become when bad memories are erased?

There are so many raw ideas fed to you from the premise that it could make Bad Memory Eraser a fantastic story. I just tended at times to question the choice directions of the writer. The writer had some great story ideas, but the ideas are not always sewn together interestingly. However, it is not my story to write. Nevertheless, I am finding Bad Memory Eraser a compelling story to watch. I am motivated to see this one through. Hopefully others will do the same.

hope it gets better

I admit that i'm here bc of 2nd ML but after watching the trailer i had big expectations about this show.. 1st episode was nice, all actors are great at their job but i don't like how ML behave, the triangle plot is old and not so good.
hope FL end up with 2nd ML and ML end up with his real first love, i think they will look cute together.
and above all hope for an unexpected big plot twist too raise my first impression about this tv show.
i find Lee Shin funny and cute while trying to pursue FL and also find him very kind towards his brother, he seems too feel guilty about snatching her from him and... i don't believe he's the bad guy here, at least i hope so.
things often are different from what they seems to be.
ok, enough with my inside teen, she's too loud btw. i think this drama put the spotlight over very important issues
ptsd, depression, coping, how to seek for help, how a parent-children relationship can turn into a toxic one.. leaded by the hunger of money/success/recognition for smth (athletic life for example) they failed to do in their youth.
tho, i hope i'm putting this down in understandable english and it's just a first impression after 8 episodes

genuine so disappointed

i started watching the drama cause of kim jae joong. i was so excited. i really likes the first few episodes maybe because i was happy to see kjj on screen but after a while the drama went off rails. there is so much going on, it's hard to keep up and i don't understand most that is going on. it's also hard to read the characters, what they're thinking, what they're feeling and so on. i don't think this is the actors fault tho, i think it's the writing. THE WRITING FOR THIS SHOW IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC. i don't think I've seen anything this bad before. the concept of it sound really interesting and i feel like it could have been such a hit, it had so much potential but it's just so disappointing. I'm still waiting for the last few episodes, so that i can correctly judge the drama but i don't think the last 4 episodes woth fix anything. hopefully kim jae joing chooses better dramas from now on. just so this isn't completely negative I'll say some things i like about the drama. the acting was surprisingly really good, some of the character were fun to watch like sae yan lee goon and the 17 year old tennis player(geniunly hate all the other characters). the soundtrack is also good and sometimes it's funny (emphasis on sometimes).


none of the hate is towards the actors. in my opinion they did a great job with what they were given. this is mostly for the writers and the director

Um desperdício de tempo

A história tinha MUITO potencial para ser um romance que fala sobre saúde mental e como não podemos simplesmente ignorar as coisas ruins que aconteceram mas sim aprender com elas e crescer

Mas eles ignoraram completamente a saúde mental, destruíram o personagem carismático que o irmão do protagonista era só pra ter um vilão (depois de colocarem o crush nela a escanteio) e depois quiseram fazer a gente perdoar ele logo em seguida, o que custou tempo e foi uma péssima adição à história

Inicialmente o protagonista (assim que mudou de personalidade) era muito legal, fofo e interessante mas depois da última rejeição ele ficou sem noção?? com raiva?? o beijo deles pra mim foi a gota d'água pra parar de assistir, não tinha clima nenhum ele com raiva de algo que nem era culpa dela-

Muito frustrante ir assistindo e ver como só piorava, uma tristeza terem perdido uma oportunidade pra falar mais sobre um tema tão importante de uma forma saudável

PERDA DE TEMPO

Esse drama tem tudo o que eu mais odeio: Personagens idiotas, passagem de tempo no final, final horrível, entre muitos outros...
Nos primeiros 4 episódios eu ainda estava ansiosa para assistir, depois disso esse drama começou a ficar cada vez mais chato. Os protagonistas nunca ficaram juntos de fato por causa de problemas que poderiam ser resolvidos com uma conversa. Os pais do protagonista foram horríveis a vida inteira, mas no final eles se desculparam e tudo foi como se nada tivesse acontecido.
Execução terrível, tentativa falha de um triângulo amoroso e final corrido e sem graça . Até agora não entendi se os protagonistas ficaram juntos ou não. Existem alguns conflitos que são interessantes, mas não tornam o drama bom. Só terminei porque já tenho muitos dramas em espera e dropados.
(Não sou muito boa em avaliações mas fiquei tão decepcionada que decidi escrever isso)
SÓ ASSISTA SE QUISER PERDER TEMPO

Achei um pouco fraco...

No começo da história já achei um pouco exagerado o prota ter pulado para salvar o irmão, acredito que foi uma reação um pouco dramática, uma vez que acho que a bola poderia sim machucar, mas não tão gravemente assim.
No decorrer achei a história interessante, apesar de um pouco fraca em relação a vários outros dramas que já assisti. Não foi ruim, só não foi excepcional.
As atuações eu achei muito boas, um personagem ou outro que não curti tanto.
O final achei decepcionante, em um momento estão sem se falar e o prota nem ao menos mandou uma mensagem, sei lá, quando descobriu que ela era realmente seu primeiro amor e ABSOLUTAMENTE DO NADA, 3 anos depois, estão eles, na ponte, sorrindo um para o outro, como se nada tivesse acontecido.
Num geral, achei 7/10, porque a história foi legal e fluiu bem o suficiente para dar para terminar o drama, mas aí mesmo tempo nada excepcional que me faria assistir novamente.
