KDrama to Miss: Memorist (2020)

 

Memorist (2020)

Grade: C+

16 Episodes, 1 hr each

Viewing Platform: Viki



With no memories of his childhood, aside from one grisly scene of his dying mother, blood on her face, Dong Baek is determined to make the bad guys pay for their misdeeds, using his unique psychic abilities. With a simple touch, the psychic detective can read memories and find evidence to put away murderers and rapists. However, this job takes a huge emotional toll, as Dong Baek is flooded with the feelings of the victims every time, and the public starts to complain about his “mistreatment” of criminals (he often physically expresses his anger). He soon crosses paths with one of the youngest police superintendents, the serious, highly intelligent, and focused Han Sun-mi. Sun-mi is determined to prove her father's innocence, as he was brutally murdered in front of her when she was a child. What happens when Sun-mi's investigating uncovers a series of murders, each one more difficult to prove than the last? Will Dong Baek recover his memories and true identity, or will the serial killer continue to make fools of them all, as the murderer moves from “justice” killings to murdering innocent bystanders?


*This is NOT my taste in Kdramas. It's a super-creepy cop-drama murder-mystery, with tons of violence, psychological trauma, and all of 3 minutes of romance. It keeps you guessing (just don't turn on the comments section, because several people SPOILED it) and has a really good pace that kept me watching, despite my repulsion (and confusion – it's really twisty). It ends pretty well, too, but I definitely wouldn't watch it again.*
