Friendship is the true love story.
A Hundred Memories reminded me a lot of Reply 1988. Yes, obviously for the time period the story is set on but also because of the treatment some characters got. I would say this kdrama is harsher and less nostalgic, which I like more since it showed some realities overlooked in other stories.
This is a lovely story about the growing pains of youth in a society rapidly changing and learning how the people we chose to welcome in our life can become our true family.
Although it frustrated me at times, I also really enjoyed watching it. I didn’t appreciate the love triangle when it was clear how the story would go and I am even mad at the WASTED time the characters (and audience) could have had on some particular developments and endings. IYKYK.
The strong point is definitely the performances. I know many came to this kdrama for Heo Nam Jun but I think we can all agree my man Kim Jung Hyun keeps establishing himself as one of the best actors of his generation. Other actors like Jeon Sung Woo and Lee Won Jung are leaving this project with a couple of hundred new fans for sure.
Kim Da Mi and Shin Ye Eun are a force of nature, and some of the most interesting actresses working today IMO. They built the core of this story with ease and charm, and I was cheering for them all the way. Their friendship is the true love story in A Hundred Memories.
