Episodes 5–6 feel stuck. The show keeps repeating the same pattern: secrets, new problems, and “master plans” that never truly resolve anything. Ah-jin is still treated as a genius villain, but her actions go in circles. Intrigue remains, but the story isn’t evolving.
What’s old is reviews two episodes in. Maybe watch it through to the end at least before spouting off 🙄
A good script shows its strength from the start. If I have to wait until the end to find ‘the good part,’ it means the series is asking for patience… without giving me any reason
They call Madam de Mystery a masterpiece. But if this is a gem, then Ed Wood directed a Korean thriller. A plot full of contradictions, zero logic, and crimes magically recorded in 4K. It’s not mystery or action —just a romantic postcard disguised as danger. A series that wanted to shine… but ended up as emotional costume jewelry.
Episode 4. Two scenes are enough to expose the narrative emptiness of Typhoon Family. Snow, soft lighting, and inspirational music try to sell a romance that never existed — there’s no chemistry, no buildup, nothing. Then comes the “deep” scene with a sigh in front of a door, and a so-called “business duel” that looks like a parody of The Godfather. Jun-ho finishes it off with a smile that completely contradicts the power his character was supposed to project. A drama that wants to be a typhoon… but barely stirs the air. If a sigh, a smile, and background music are enough for you, then yes, we’re watching different dramas. 1/10.
The ending of A Hundred Memories feels emotionally confusing. Episode 11 briefly brings back the heart of the series —that broken friendship finally reconciling under the rain— but Episode 12 dives straight into melodrama: murder plots, a coma, a time-skip, and a happy ending. It’s visually beautiful, yes, but it no longer hurts. The story turns from emotion into summary. What began as an observation of feelings ends as a list of events. Still, that final scene by the sea… it hurts for what it once was, not for what it tells.
Episode 3. So much drama, so little feeling. They throw snow, tears, and business failures at us—but none of it lands. It’s emotional theater without a single honest emotion. 1/10. Critica sin filtro.
aaa not my fault 😅 the kisskh system also averages the “rewatch value,” and in my case it’s low because it’s not something I’d watch again. That’s why the overall score ends up lower even if story and acting are good.
I did read your review — and it proves my point perfectly. Yours is a fan’s love letter, not a critic’s analysis. Calling a drama with visible plot holes “almost perfect” isn’t critique. It’s devotion.
I gave it a 1 because the 10s are just as exaggerated. Someone has to balance the scale
Calling me a troll doesn’t erase the facts: wooden acting, recycled script, zero comedy. If you can hand out 10s with blind love, I can hand out 1s with clear reasons. Don’t confuse fandom with criticism
I gave it a 1 because the 10s are just as exaggerated. Someone has to balance the scale
What’s really absurd is pretending every mediocre K-drama deserves a safe ‘7’. A 10 for Bon Appétit is delusion, and a 1 for this mess is honesty. If the full scale exists, I’ll use it

I’m not trolling. I explained my reasoning: when people give exaggerated 10s, balance is needed. My 1/10 is not random, it’s a counterweight to the hype. If you disagree, that’s fine — but criticism isn’t trolling.
It’s true that “friends caught in a love triangle” isn’t new. But the way A Hundred Memories treats it…
ooo hablas español. excelente. gracias, rara vez tengo estas buenas conversaciones como esta. casi siempre son ataques personales y así no se puede. gracias
It’s true that “friends caught in a love triangle” isn’t new. But the way A Hundred Memories treats it…
Entiendo tu punto, pero no creo que se deba culpar al protagonista masculino. ¿Qué culpa tiene realmente? En muchos dramas, se le presenta como la causa del conflicto, pero en Cien Recuerdos no ha hecho nada malo; simplemente vive en medio de estas emociones. La historia se centra más en cómo las dos chicas gestionan su vínculo que en culparlo.
Además, debemos tener cuidado con los avances. Esta serie ya ha demostrado que sus avances son deliberadamente engañosos. ¿Recuerdan el accidente de autobús? Todos pensaron que Yeong Rye iba a morir, pero al final resultó completamente diferente. Los avances de los episodios aquí no son spoilers, sino trampas emocionales. Por eso no juzgaría las decisiones de Yeong Rye, ni las llamaría "traición", hasta que veamos el contexto completo.
When we talk about love triangles, we usually picture rivalry, jealousy, or even betrayal between two friends.…
It’s true that “friends caught in a love triangle” isn’t new. But the way A Hundred Memories treats it is different: the drama doesn’t build on jealousy or rivalry, but on solidarity. That shifts the emotional weight—what matters is not “who gets the guy” but how friendship endures when love complicates things.
If we call everything a repeat just because it uses a triangle, then almost every drama would be “the same story.” What makes the difference is execution—and here, direction, acting, and pacing give it a unique tone.

Thanks for confirming I was right from the beginning
