Ackery Again, the directing was great and the acting was much better comparing to episode one with Care being the highlight of the episode. Unfortunately, the plot wasn't as intriguing, but it was still, overall, a decent episode.

bhvyshrm Episode 2 delves deeper into the complexities of familial relationships and personal struggles, effectively balancing humor with emotional depth. The episode excels in portraying the tension between Seok-ryu and her mother, Mi-suk, revealing the generational and cultural pressures that drive their conflict. Mi-suk’s character is particularly well-developed, embodying the societal expectations of success and the sacrifices she made in her youth, which she now projects onto her daughter.This episode captures the duality of Seok-ryu’s return—she is caught between her own disillusionment with her once-promising life abroad and the suffocating expectations of her mother, who sees her daughter’s return as a failure rather than a cry for help. The narrative effectively uses flashbacks to juxtapose Seok-ryu’s innocent childhood ambitions with her current reality, adding layers to her character and making her more relatable to the audience.However, the episode’s pacing feels uneven at times, with the storyline occasionally meandering, particularly during Seok-ryu’s bus rides, which, while symbolic of her aimlessness, could have been shortened to maintain narrative momentum. The chemistry between Seung-hyo and Seok-ryu is promising, but their relationship dynamic risks becoming predictable if not developed with more complexity in future episodes. Overall, Episode 2 provides valuable character insights and sets the stage for future developments.

The first episode of the all-new series introduces viewers to a delightful blend of humor, nostalgia, and character-driven storytelling. The show sets a strong foundation by delving into the complicated relationship between Seung-hyo and Seok-ryu, childhood acquaintances with a shared history that’s equal parts endearing and cringe-worthy. The episode does a great job balancing comedy with deeper themes, particularly when it comes to Seok Ryu’s sudden return to Korea and the mysterious reasons behind her life upheaval. The slapstick humor, especially during the chaotic family scenes, is well-executed and keeps the tone light-hearted.However, the episode’s pacing could have been tighter, particularly during the scenes that switch between Seok-ryu’s interactions with Seung-hyo and her more reflective moments. While the comedic elements are a strong point, the episode occasionally feels like it’s trying to juggle too many tones, which may leave viewers unsure of the show’s direction. Despite this, the chemistry between the lead characters and the nostalgic flashbacks to their childhood create a promising dynamic that hints at both tension and growth. The episode ends on a note that effectively teases the chaos and drama to come, making it a solid start to the series.

Wait, so maybe Gun never jumped into the water to drown. How much do y’all wanna bet that he argued with Shin who took his medal and threw it in the river? And in trying to catch the medal, Gun falls into the water.And uh-oh, is Tae-oh going to figure out Ju-yeon’s first love lie? While we want Gun to learn the truth, we don’t want Tae-oh to have any ammunition. We may not like Ju-yeon but we hate him more. Bro led her on for months, not very mindful, not very demure of him. And we doubt he is telling the truth about the misunderstanding that he brings up in Bad-Memory Eraser Episode 6. If he always meant to date her, why did he gift Yeo a gold necklace while giving Ju-yeon the same keyring he got the rest of the staff?But there’s something off with Ju-yeon too. She’s rude to everyone around her from Gun to Sae-yan. Yet they keep bending over backwards to make her happy. Sure, when Shin does it, it makes sense since she has been there for him. But with the rest, it doesn’t work. And fine, we are getting a hang of her personality – she is the grumpy sunshine protector but her sunshine isn’t Gun, it has been Shin so far. This will lead to a rushed and/or convoluted storyline if the writers plan to make Gun and Ju-yeon endgame.

Okay, has Bad-Memory Eraser Episode 5 turned us into Shin and Ju-yeon apologists? Hear us out, now that we have the events from their perspectives, we can’t help but feel for them as well. To be fair, the K-drama has already shown us in Episode 1 how one person’s self-pity can lead to misunderstandings. While old Gun is well within his right to feel like his family hates him as they have done nothing to prove him wrong, things aren’t so black or white.We see this with Shin who possibly doesn’t even know that Sae-yan is Gun’s first love. And the car scene that Gun happened upon wasn’t a lover’s rendezvous but a breakup. As for Ju-yeon, she never lied about dating Tae-oh. And if we see from her perspective, she has all the right to distance herself from Gun as he holds her physically numerous times even when she says no.On top of that, she is his doctor and his feelings literally jeopardise her trial to the extent that she is very likely to lose it to her cheating ex. But one thing is for sure, now that Ju-yeon is single, the romance will definitely progress more overtly with her returning Gun’s feelings, Shin falling for her while Sae-yan falls for Gun, leading to the love square we were promised.

Well, a lot happens in the Bad-Memory Eraser Episode 2 recap. To get things straight, the Nevertheless girly is Gun’s first love and also Shin’s current girlfriend. She also happens to be somehow related to Ju-yeon. Well, that’s a whole love square.And Shin seems too suspicious but also a little too worried for the older brother he took for granted. Is it guilt out of neglecting his brother or guilt from pushing Gun in the river? Since we have the mother’s point of view, it seems that Gun’s suicidal tendencies could have been overridden by his anger towards his family.While it was satisfying for viewers to watch him lash out at his mom, it must have been similarly cathartic for him. So, why would he jump? It is also quite strange that it was Shin who found Gun and took him to the hospital.Then there is Ju-yeon whose thinking is a little convoluted – Gun’s pain is linked to his trauma which means no trauma equals no pain. But if he doesn’t find his true love, he will keep digging into his past till his bad memories once again resurface. So, to stop him, she pretends to be his true love. A very messy move, but consider us hooked.

Bad-Memory Eraser Episode 3 solidifies the tone of the K-drama as we get a ton of comedy, an undertone of romance and a touch of mental health issues.But if episode 1 has been any indication, the K-drama is not afraid to get heavy when needed to deal with sensitive issues which we are sure will arise once again when Gun learns the truth about everything. But we hope that is way later, at the end of the show. Let the poor guy be happy, the last 2 decades have not been kind to him.As for the characters, Gun is a solid rom-com male lead, Shin is already about to give us second lead syndrome and the parents are annoying but we see glimpses of their humanity.Unfortunately for Ju-yeon, while she is funny at times, she is still quite unlikeable. Sure, we get that she’s supposed to be the typical no-nonsense, blunt and sassy workaholic with a heart of gold. But if the writers are not careful, she will end up leaning more towards the annoyance than the loveable spectrum.

Bad-Memory Eraser Episode 1 starts off on quite a sad note with Gun believing that the whole world is against him and he is all alone. It is quite brutal especially since we don’t realise that the first half of the episode is all from his perspective. It doesn’t help that his parents and the female lead are horrible to him.But once we get that monologue from Ju-yeon to the ethics board we see the truth of it. Sure, Gun’s family is careless but they do worry about him. It also warns us about the dangers of flippantly sending hate as we never know what someone may be going through. It is unfortunate that Ju-yeon’s anger leads to Gun’s drowning. It would also be interesting on how they tackle the first love angle. It would be a little too obvious if she happened to be the same girl. In fact, it would be refreshing if we had a different girl playing the first love, Gun going after her but realising that he actually has feelings for Ju-yeon instead.

fortunekuki Love the chemistry of the leads. It just feels so natural and spontaneous. They seem to be comfortable with each other in real life as well judging from the BTS and pics.

caribbeanqueen I don't even know what to say about this mess of a series. I can't believe I waited this long to watch this only to be highly disappointed. First of all, the acting is terrible. Absolutely cringe. I expected better of Bible because I just adored his character of Vegas in KinnPorsche but whatever this is was is not it. Bible as a bottom isn't working. The new partner is very talented but it's obvious that he's having to carry Bible a good majority of the time and I hate saying that because I really did enjoy Bible in KinnPorsche. I don't like the new ship either and it's not that it's any fault of Jes' because he's a damn good actor but there's no chemistry with Bible. And Jes has always had good chemistry with all of his costars. Why is it so different with Bible? I don't know but it isn't working for me.Second of all, the overwhelming use of NC scenes is disappointing. There's no storyline at all. And not to mention how unrealistic the sex scenes are. Totally unrealistic. Don't even get me started on the full frontal shot. It's very obvious that the over use of NC scenes were used to draw people in to distract them from the bad acting and no storyline. The lack of facial expressions from Bible is also concerning. I don't know what the hell happened to Bible but something is off with him. Jes my guy, please go back to what you were doing before. BL isn't for you dude. You're too talented for this disaster. You shouldn't have to carry someone 24/7.

I kind of started this out of curiosity, thinking I would drop it after like 10 minutes, but despite the cliches and some overacting -especially from the mom's actress-, the pilot episode was very promising. It was entertaining and had a solid enough plot. BUT, the directing and cinematography was definitely the highlight of it. It was amazingly directed and aesthetically pleasing, while keeping a dark atmosphere. Hopefully, the rest of the episodes are equally good.
