Story: A girl was killed by a stalker 10 years ago. Her grieving boyfriend and female friend, meet as a news anchor and a celebrity actress. Both of them have suppressed diseases- he has extraordinary ability/disease to remember every bit in his past, thus making him suffer from that pain; while she has lost parts of her memory thus living as a naive/straightforward cheerful girl. She pursues him with all honesty and he eventually loves her back, overcoming his past trauma, the moral dilemma and social scorn (of dating his dead lover's friend), her memory regain, and the revengeful acts of the stalker against the duo.

The girl absolutely rocked it: a beautiful gleaming face, a lovely female voice, lovely smile, long curly hair. So sweet and so natural in the open-hearted girl avtaar. Often effortlessly funny, close to comedian role-- a rarity for a female actor in my view. Her crying parts are good too. Hajin of 'Find me in your Dreams' is now in the league of Jiuna of 'Full House', Jandi of 'Boys Over Flowers', and Jiho of 'Because this is my first Life'.

The male lead has a great male voice (fitting a news presenter), a great smile, decent face, a decent walk, non-showoff hair, ordinary in emotional parts.

Good side characters- the news channel owner couple, the girl's sister couple, the cold hearted professor bordering on 'mad scientist'. Two stalkers were presented, not very realistically- more like cliched madness. The guy's handling of the stalking events was good. The duo's (multiple) together sessions, with open confession from both sides, were absolutely beautiful.

16 episodes. Last 2 episodes ruined it for me: unnecessary breakup, cliched 'two years after', 'fated' re-meet, change of the girl's attitude from cheerful transparent to sombre serious reserved. 2 points deduct for that. The first 13 episodes were a treat to watch/experience.

One of the best recent Kdrama in my list: My Mister, Because This is my First Life, When Amelia Blooms, Dinner Mates, Find me in Your Memory, Stranger (2017), Waikiki-1.

Some popular recent kdrama that are not that good in my view: Waikiki-2, my strange hero, Love w Flaws, Weightlifting girl.., Strong girl.., Her private life, Love alarm, Kill me heal me, Mask, Introverted Boss, What's wrong with secretary kim, Secret(2013), Suspicious Partner, Tale of 9 tailed fox.

A news anchor who can remember everything becomes involved with an aspiring actress who cannot remember her past. Add a murderous stalker with links to both their pasts and we have an entertaining well acted story with excellent supporting roles. The interaction between the two leads was believable and the story is well paced and sixteen episodes is just right.

The first half of the Drama was great. There is a good mystery and storyline around the characters . But towards the end there were lot of cliches which made it boring towards the end. It felt like the producers wanted to wrap up the story in a sloppy way

The series is slow but if you enjoy it you will really get what you want / expect

Sometimes i hate the characters being so polite with each other even though they are already dating or married. It just ruins the chemistry or the romance between the leads. Also, although the kissing scene here was kinda romantic, overall, they did not look compatible in my opinion. The second leads were much more interesting.
