After watching 10 episodes of A Hundred Memories, I feel the drama had a solid emotional core and steady pacing up until episode 10. The story felt well-settled and naturally growing, with each episode adding depth to the characters and their relationships.
However, beyond that point, it seems to lose its direction. Episodes 11 and 12 feel like they’re heading toward filler territory — more stretched emotion than real story progression. The emotional tension that once felt raw and meaningful now feels repetitive.
From a character perspective, I truly believe Young Rye deserved Jae Pil. She stayed, nurtured their bond, and built genuine connection over time. On the other hand, Jong Hee left after realizing Young Rye’s feelings for Jae Pil — which, ironically, showed how much she valued Young Rye more than her own love life at that time.
That’s why I find Jong Hee’s current hostility confusing. After giving up on Jae Pil once and stepping aside for seven long years, why fight a losing battle now? Her actions no longer carry emotional logic. It would’ve made more sense for her to move on, maybe find her own happiness — perhaps even with Young Rye’s brother — instead of turning their bond into unnecessary rivalry.
Overall, A Hundred Memories started with heartfelt storytelling and believable emotions, but post-episode 10, it risks becoming repetitive and losing the sincerity that made it special in the first place.
