Hello Monster

I'm completely derailed again, so I don't know if my review will make sense. Well, let's give it a shot... Yes, I know. If the investigation team had acted like this in real life, there would probably be empty prisons and most of the officers would no longer be alive. But so what? This isn't a documentary about catching criminals, it's something else. If you show a little (enough) tolerance in that regard, then you'll experience perfect thrills from start to finish, full of touching fates, perfect psychos, and plot twists. There are a lot of strong individuals among the characters who will make sure you can't just tear yourself away. In-guk Seo is one big surprise for me, and I really hope he finds more fans here over time. It's a fact that I was a little jealous of Na-ra Jang at times. If it wasn't for the ending, it would have been spotless for me. While I would be happy with a similar resolution elsewhere, here I just can't help but be slightly disappointed. Still, it's the best I've seen so far this year. Those who liked Gapdong should definitely not miss Remember You. //// I’ve let it sit for a bit and now I have to admit that they got the ending right. It was great, all the way through.

This is certainly an interesting venture. Interesting cast, interesting characters, 16 episodes is just about right. I mostly enjoyed when the three leads went together and complemented each other. That was the best part. If the whole second half of the series was like that, I think I'd be squealing with delight. It was different, but it still wasn't bad. Honestly I didn't find the acting to be all that impressive, kind of a nice average that was fun to watch. After all, we've known for a long time that Koreans are great at handling emotionally tense scenes (sometimes they handle them so well that you can't even stand to watch them... fortunately that's not the case here). At times I felt that Lee Hyun knew the impossible, there wasn't much explanation of how he came by it, plus it just seemed like a hunch rather than him using that "scientific" head of his. And I thought that was a shame. Plus, towards the end, I was losing focus and I wasn't enjoying it as much again. However, it did have some nice scenes – I really liked the way Lee Hyun stroked Cha Ji-An's head, and overall their relationship was very nicely portrayed. I was originally going to give it 3 stars, but I'm giving it 4 stars for a fairly satisfying ending, just barely. P.S.: I couldn't be a cop because I sympathized too much with the serial killer; I thought he was a misunderstood sympathetic guy. (14/08/2015)
