Alright, now that the drama is over, can we talk about what went wrong here? I won’t lie — this was a drama I’d been waiting for ever since it was announced 8 or 9 months ago, especially knowing that Shin Ye Eun would be starring alongside Kim Dami. Obviously, I already knew Kim Dami would be the female lead here. What really surprised me was the announcement of the male lead. At first, Heo Nam Jun didn’t seem to be listed as a main actor (at least, that’s how I remember it). Then later on, we found out it was going to be a trio. I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be great, because he’s still clearly an inexperienced actor. I think I’ve seen him in maybe one or two dramas, but always in supporting roles, and he never stood out enough for me to think, “Oh yeah, I could totally see him as a lead.” There are a lot of cases like that in Korean cinema, where you seriously wonder, “WTF? At what point did someone think this person was ready for a lead role?”
It’s a 16-episode drama. Honestly, I’m not really used to that anymore, but so far I love it. I really hope CEO Pyo and his son get out of the picture soon and that we don’t have to deal with them for all 16 episodes.
I was wondering where I’d seen her before, but she acted in *Our Beloved Summer* and *Tell Me That You Love Me*. That’s where I know her from. But seriously, I thought she was like 17. I just saw she’s 36 😭😭. Okay, maybe 17 is a stretch, but she really looks super young.
I was just going to post asking in which episode does that mofo finally die? I know he’s lower on the totem…
ChatGPT a dit : Lord Hanfeng, that Twilight vampire, gives up the ghost and ascends to the heavens in episode 22 after his battle with Ji Bozai, where he clearly didn’t see the light. Fart to his soul 😞

Yes, very clearly, he's completely obsessed with her, but on the other hand, I seriously doubt that Ming Yi is interested in him or that anyone will turn her into someone who is.
It was obvious that Mu Qi Bai wasn't going to play a big role here, but I didn't expect him to kill him so quickly. On the other hand, Situ Ling is clearly going to have his place in the ML-FL duo.
Episode 23 is so crazy. I'm screaming like a madman at home at 4 a.m. I'm yelling like a lunatic. What is this episode? I'm going to get sick. It's the greatest Chinese drama in history. My fairy Lu Yuxiao is just so incredible.
I'm sorry, but from the outset, the character of JP (Heon Nam Jun) literally doesn't fit into this kind of drama. I find the actor still too amateurish, and it shows. He is literally overshadowed by YR and JH here; in fact, he doesn't even exist here. He clearly doesn't fit in with any of the girls here, as we can clearly see.
The drama has so many plotlines that are completely inconsistent and just come out of nowhere. The whole marriage thing between Ma Seong Cheol and Jeong Bun is totally random. There’s literally no story between them. I expected Sang Cheol to end up with JP, since he was basically the second male lead at first. And that’s not the only incoherent part of the drama. JH’s brother too — what does he even add to the story? After the time skip, we could’ve done without him. But then they bring him back two episodes before the end...
Yeong Rye’s mother is honestly the only true 10/10 in this entire show. Such an incredible woman, and I found the mother-daughter chemistry absolutely perfect. You could almost believe she’s her real mother in real life they fit so well together.
I just finished the last episode of the drama and honestly it started off perfectly with a great storyline and some really beautiful scenes. I think it was the bus-related plot that made the drama so captivating, along with the amazing friendship duo between Shin Ye Eun and Kim Dami. But it eventually became a bit tiresome and to be honest very predictable, especially after the time jump which for me marked the beginning of the drama’s downfall. Of course this is the kind of drama that could only end with a happy ending, and as I said from the beginning, Yeong Rye and Jae Pil were always going to be the final couple. Overall it's a nice watch. Not an unforgettable drama, far from it, but still enjoyable. So that was A Hundred Memories. I’d give it a 7 out of 10.
