Bad-Memory Eraser
(2024 - 16 1:00 eps)

A child prodigy tennis player is injured & because of this trauma, his life derails. As an adult, he is part of an experiment to erase his bad memories. After being "fixed" he is full of self-confidence & begins succeeding in life.

It's one of those lost potential dramas. The story could have been good: a dysfunctional family, some tennis, a mystery, love triangles, learning that bad memories make us who we are & can be dealt with. With good acting by a great cast & mostly decently written characters, the mom's background needed to be expanded to justify her actions & the 2nd FL's character was just too ditzy but otherwise good.

Most of the story happens in the last 2 episodes, but it glosses over all the hanging storylines & the writer used one of my least favorite ending tropes & ruined it completely.

Branding in Seongsu
(2024 - Viki, 25 0:35 eps)

It's a *love* it or hate it drama. Great characters with a lot of development - a strong FL, who is neither good nor bad, & a sweet, down to earth ML. Great chemistry & both leads did a fantastic job of playing the other when their souls swapped bodies.

Not one to take too seriously, the thriller part even has a bunny. The characters of the "underdog" team provide great comic relief & teach our leads a thing or two. It does have some unexpected twists and characters who aren't what they seem.

The intro is well-designed, & the costuming & scenery coordination make a great visual statement. It's a fun binge watch that gets good after 4-5 eps, throws you for a loop toward the end, then recovers well.

A conspiracy #kdrama with an enemies-to-lovers romance story. I promise you won't be disappointed by the kisses!
Top-notch lead actors and secondary characters. I already knew and highly appreciated #KimJiEun (#LongingForYou ) and #YangHyeJi (#Nevertheless ), so sexy #Lomon was THE surprise.

The only drawback: it's too fast-paced. I would have liked more scenes to better explain the plot and the background.

Vote: 9.5

I've started #BrandingInSeongsu and watched the first 2 episodes (30 min each)

Still loving #KimJiEun acting skills! In #LongingForYou she made quite the impression.

There's also #YangHyeJi who had a previous role in #Nevertheless.

And it's the first time I watch a #kdrama with #Lomon , a Koryo-saram actor born in Uzbekistan
