Rimembeo: Adeul-ui Jeonjaeng

The trope of the underdog family being crushed by the son of a wealthy chaebol son, whilst the underdog son seeks revenge - Yes, but with such a different twist.

A father accused of murder while he is suffering from Alzheimers, is defended by his attorney son who has Hyperthymesia syndrome (an ability to remember life experiences and items of his surroundings in precise detail.

The character development of the main leads stands out in the KSeries. Well done to the the scriptwriters!

The acting of Namgoong Min and Yoo Seung-Ho just excellent.

The ending was phenomenal, whilst heartbreaking it was reality. Although justice was achieved the final touch was so real it was heartbreaking.

Supporting Brilliant Acting right across the board.

Watched in Audio Korean and English subtitles.

Even a 2 year old doesn't fall for such stupid plot lines 😭😭

The good points of this show outweigh some flaws.

This is a revenge melodrama about a son trying to exonerate his wrongly accused father of murder. There are some exciting court battles, lots of corruption and the best makjang male villain played perfectly by Namgoong Min. He provides the much needed laugh out loud black comedy as he plays the worst chaebol son you can imagine. Rapist murderer & drug addict you name it, he's it.

Flaws: 20 episodes was too much. 16 would have eliminated some repetitive scenes of angst and flashbacks. Although things do move along with some nice twists and cliff hangers that keep you tuned in, much could have been edited out. Also there wasn't enough romance between the cute leads. Park Min Young is suited to her role since she acts serious roles even better than rom com. Yoo Seong Ho is quite good as the man with a photographic memory although he has some tiresomely repetitive scenes. The conflicted lawyer played by Park Sung Woong is an interesting character.

Min Namkoong is fenomenal in this. He is the main star of the show. His ability to play the extremely disturbed and insane Nam Gyu Man is out of bounds. High praise for his acting skills.

I hope he'll show more of his skills in other projects.

About the show/story: This show once again shows the extreme differences between the "upper" and "lower" class. Money buys everything, and money thinks it is above the law, even the law itself.

The show was highly frustrating in that way.

It was a nice procedural law series with a somewhat satisfying outcome.

The loose ends are all tied up and you can help but feel a bit triumphant at the ending of show.

The first 4 episodes were dedicated entirely for their backstory and they did an outstanding poor job in that regard. These first 4 episodes were painful to sit through, unbelievably boring, lacking any interesting or gripping elements and it failed to lay the groundwork for things to look forward to in the future episodes. If that wasn't enough, the main story was mostly shelved and the subsequent episodes turned into side cases with slight relation to the bad guy until it returned to the main case in the last few episodes. Although the male lead was labeled as a genius and has super powers but his character proved to be otherwise. Namkoong Min playing a pathetic low-life chaebol playboy villain was definitely a miscast. It would more suitable for him to play a smart cunning merciless villain but the director was blind. On the other hand, Jeon Kwang Ryul playing the main victim with Alzheimer and being a good loving father was weird, another miscast and oversight from the production. The trend continues Park Min Young playing a prosecutor, it's just not it.
