In part, this is thanks to Netflix’s consistent investment in the country’s content, whether through their own original projects or the licensing of existing offerings that then brings them to a much broader audience. Over the last half a decade or so, Korean Dramas (or K-Drama) have really picked up steam in terms of their global popularity. I wonder if there will be a Season 2 for Memories of the Alhambra, Season 1 ended as if there will be a sequel.ĭear Netflix, I think you’re running out of fresh new ideas for your shows…Ĭompleted episodes for Memories of the Alhambra can be found on Netflix.This article discusses the Top 40 Best and Highest Rated Korean Dramas of All Time and does not contain any major plot points or spoilers. Not sure if Memories of the Alhambra is considered as one of the Netflix Original Series, because it was originally commissioned by Korean cable network tvN. I’m trying not to mention spoilers as much as possible so you’re enjoy it more watching it yourself. ![]() Honourable mention: I teared a little because of Seo Jung-Hoon played by Min Jin-Woong, his loyalty and his sacrifice. I find that there isn’t much chemistry between her and Hyun-Bin though. She should be more daring and try to play characters that are really different and have a breakthrough in the future. I feel most of the characters she has played before are all quite similar, always helpless or crying. “Annyeong Emma.” Park Shin-Hye is such a typical good girl next door. I keep telling myself it’s just a show after all. Only Hyun-Bin will look that good limping with a walking stick and still be able to fight and shoot guns with such accuracy and suaveness. Yoo Jin-Woo is tormented by having to kill his friend-turned-enemy and watching his assistant who is also like a younger brother to him being killed over and over again while trying to stay alive himself in the game. Set in Granada of Spain, Yoo Jin-Woo is obsessed with playing the Augmented-Reality game and completing the quest around “magical” Alhambra that Jung Hee-Joo’s younger brother (Jung Se-Joo played by Chanyeol) created.ĭue to a bug in the game, somehow if you get killed in the game, you get killed for real in real life. Memories of the Alhambra stars Hyun-Bin as Yoo Jin-Woo and Park Shin-Hye as Jung Hee-Joo. Sci-fi genre, totally my kind of thing to watch. Like Black Mirror (I finally understood why it’s on Netflix), with its futuristic tech and how we would be using AR (Augmented-Reality) in the future, in this case, in gaming. Like W, it has that of a typical action thriller Korean Drama, with a little romance. Even Alvina (who watched it mostly because of Hyun-Bin) binge watched it and said she enjoyed watching it.Īfter watching Memories of the Alhambra, I feel there’s this familiarity, it’s actually a cross between W (Memories of the Alhambra is also written by the writer of W, that explains the familiarity) and Black Mirror. She said that the scriptwriters for Memories of the Alhambra are really creative for thinking and coming up with such a storyline. She would usually comment that a Korean Drama is nice to watch but I’ve never heard her say such good things about a Korean Drama. I hardly hear Pauline (who is also into watching Korean Dramas like me) compliment a Korean Drama like that. Because I hate the feeling of being left hanging if the episodes are not completed. I’m very afraid to start watching something or anything at all these days, especially drama series. Though it aired last year in December, it took me some time to actually get down to watching it. Before I went on my trip to Seoul, I managed to finish watching Memories of the Alhambra. ![]()
