Remember — War of the Son Review







At first I was hesitant to watch this korean series as the friend who recommended this told me the plot was kinda the same as to that film Miracle in Cell Number 7. She also said that the series mostly contain more drama than romance. I’m into romcom plots with a little bit of msytery that’s why I’ve doubts if this drama would catch my interest.

Plot

Seo Jin-woo has a special condition called Hyperthymesia which allows him to remember almost every day in perfect detail. While his father, Seo Jae-hyuk on the other hand, developed an Alzheimer’s disease, making him lose his memories. When Seo Jae-hyuk was wrongfully convicted of murder, Jin-woo vows to prove innocence of his father. Four years later, Jin-woo becomes a lawyer to put the real criminal behind bars but bribery, corruption, and betrayals would not give him an easy road to justice.

The ending is quite cliffhanger, you’ll guess if they will end up together or just like that — apart.

Yoo Seung-ho is perfect for the character, his emotions from being happy to sad is notable, one minute you’ll see him smile and can feel the pain he is feeling afterwards. Being a son suits him well, they have connections as father and son in this series. You can see the emotions through his cute eyes. The agony, anger he's feeling through out is commendable.

Park Min Young is one of the best korean actress you’d like to watch every now and then, aside Healer that I enjoyed watching, this series also left an impact because of her. After seeing her on City Hunter I could say she's best being an actress. Always looking forward watching series lead by her.

Oh I wanna kill Nam Gyu-Man, he is annoying lonely villain that you pity but hate throughout the series. He plays his character to the point you fear his face just by looking at him. He has that aura that could kill whenever he wanted to that scares me hahaha OA me. Kudos Namgung Min! I previously saw him in The Girl Who can See Smell and I must say I really wanted him to be punished with his crimes and acts. Hahahaha. Him dying from suicide is somewhat light for him to suffer. He deserves to be killed in a notorious ways. 😁😁😁

This series tackles power that our society has nowadays. Framing somebody to get the job done or for someone to get away is more likely present in every country. There are some who don’t believe in justice anymore that’s why they act on their own. And the drama is perfect for those to believe again that there is still law that is fair believing truth is more important than facts. We can also see gangsters who dream big here in this drama.

All in all it is recommendable to watch, to spend hours just to end the series.
