Yoo Seung-ho and Park Min-young’s emotional reunion in Remember
by girlfriday | November 18, 2015
Finally, we get to the leads! SBS’s new super-memory lawyer drama Remember has been slowly releasing stills of the supporting cast, but at last we get to Yoo Seung-ho and Park Min-young, on the set of their first scene together. They star as classmates who reunite as adults, when he’s a lawyer and she’s a prosecutor, and he’s in the fight of his life to clear his father of a murder charge and get him off death row.
It sounds like a legal drama but it’s all about memory: Yoo Seung-ho stars as a genius with a hyperactive memory (a condition called hyperthymesia) that causes him to remember excessive amounts of detail about everything. His father (Jeon Gwang-ryul) is on death row for a murder he didn’t commit, but because of his Alzheimer’s, he’s been convinced that he was the killer and can’t remember otherwise. And finally, Yoo Seung-ho faces memory loss as well, putting even more pressure on him to solve Dad’s case before he loses his abilities.
Park Min-young costars as a quirky, cheerful prosecutor who’s still a young girl at heart. She’s still green at her job, but when she reunites with the hero, she decides to stick by him and help him clear Dad’s name, maturing in the process. I know Park Min-young always plays these types of characters, but she’s really found a way to make each plucky, lovable heroine her own.
