Review: I started watching Remember: War of the Son the week it started airing in Korea. Yoo Seung Ho as the lead & an intriguing synopsis were the only encouragement I needed. This was months ago though, và the drama has long since finished airing. & the reason for my long break from the drama is the crux of the issue I have with Remember. The beginning of the drama hooks you in right away with its quick pacing và interesting characters. I was so emotionally invested from day one that I even cried multiple times during the first four episodes. But once you move past the “prequel” episodes và get into the meat of the drama where the action really happens… it moves incredibly slow. Và not slow in the sense of “nothing is happening” but slow by way of “let’s take two steps forward and then three steps back so we’re always going in the wrong direction.”
Don’t get me wrong, I love a story where so many things go wrong in the beginning because that just makes the final turnaround for the heroes to be all the more satisfying. But I reached a certain point in this drama where my frustration with a complete lack of progress from the protagonists was hugely disheartening. I don’t think a storyline where the plot will ultimately be resolved in one final court case, really warranted a drama length of twenty episodes. Especially not when we didn’t get lớn see any major wins for the good guys until about Episode 16. For characters that are supposed khổng lồ be intelligent legal professionals, their tendency to lớn give crucial, secret evidence to any seemingly trustworthy person was outrageously high. The golden rule of this drama: you can’t trust anyone. They will betray you because of their own self-serving desires. The antagonists always seemed to have the upper hand which, to lớn the writer’s credit, did contribute to the themes of suppression và injustice prevalent in Remember: War of the Son. And boy, is it easy to hate the villains. From phái nam Gyu Man’s psychopathic tendencies & complete lack of remorse, to his weasel of an attorney, lớn his abusive father – you just want them all behind bars. Each character gets progressively worse as the story proceeds, và exceedingly more pathetic.
In my opinion, the outstanding performances of the actors và actresses in Remember: War of the Son were the driving forces of this drama. Yoo Seung Ho & Park Min Young had great chemistry together, one that portrayed the genuine friendship of these two characters (a rare thing in a drama full of double-crossing agents). There was also a love line between them that didn’t really play a major part until the over of the drama and I found to lớn be less believable. But this wasn’t an issue of acting rather than the way their changing relationship was incorporated into the plot. If the writers were to have left Jin Woo & In Ha’s relationship as only a very close friendship, it would not have negatively affected the drama. & I don’t think the ending would have been any less meaningful, or heartbreaking. Moving on, Park Sung Woong was an absolute gem as well, with his satoori accent and wild wardrobe as lawyer Park Dong Ho. He did a fantastic job of portraying such a brash, confident character yet still allowing Dong Ho’s vulnerability lớn show at the appropriate times. But the standout performance of this drama was without a doubt from Namgoong Min as the psychotic chaebol villain nam Gyu Man. The range of emotion Namgoong Min was able lớn show with this character is astounding. And so is his ability to lớn make you hate a person lớn their very bones in the beginning of a drama but still pity them when their justice is finally served, despite Gyu Man never really owning up lớn his sins. Be it with his voice or nuanced facial expressions, that man can work magic & I look forward lớn seeing Namgoong Min in new roles in the future. An honorable mention goes out to Dong Ho’s right hand man & Ahn Soo Bum, Gyu Man’s secretary and the subject to his abuse throughout the drama. The strange friendship that occurred between their characters was utterly adorable & Soo Bum remains one of my favorite characters in Remember. His character development was one of the most striking in the drama and his portrayal by actor Lee mê mẩn Eon made it impossible not to lớn root for him. Lớn me, Soo Bum is the most relatable character in the drama. Forever the middle man, neither smart enough lớn escape from the nam giới family’s clutches nor brave enough to lớn try to lớn overthrow them himself. Soo Bum’s character is important nonetheless, và key in bringing about the turning point of Remember: War of the Son.
The title “Remember: War of the Son” is a bit of a mouthful but carries a huge significance with respect lớn the characters of the drama. It captures of the image of Jin Woo, armed with only his wits & a fiery will lớn win, in a battle for his father’s honor. But there are other sons in the drama that are fighting their own “wars,” so to lớn speak. Park Dong Ho discovers the true culprit of his own father’s death as he gets an inside look into the corruption of the nam family. And perhaps even more significantly, phái nam Gyu Man is fighting as a son to be acknowledged và loved by his father. Despite being such a despicable character, there was something about Gyu Man and his final fate that left me feeling somewhat morose. Gyu Man was cruel và demeaning towards everyone around him, even his closest friends và sister. Yet his attitude would completely change in front of his father, resembling that of a kicked puppy rather than the head of corporation. It makes you wonder: was Gyu Man such a terrible human being because of innate physiological reasons or the constant years of abuse và heavy expectations from his father? His moments of vulnerability come only when facing his father’s disappointment or as he eventually admits to himself his loneliness. Và this makes Gyu Man’s final conversation with his father all the more heartbreaking. The one thing he feared the most in the world occurs when he is abandoned by the only person he ever wanted khổng lồ please.
The ending of Remember: War of the Son did an excellent job of wrapping up loose ends for the many characters in this drama universe. Many of the people I disliked in the beginning turn around to be all out champs, while most everyone else experiences some sort of character growth on the way. I will say

Conclusion: If you can stomach some heartache & a frustrating cycle of bad decisions, Remember: War of the Son is an ideal watch for any tín đồ of legal dramas or chaebol corruption. While the drama drags in some parts with its tendency khổng lồ prolong conflicts, the ultimate justice served in the over is resounding enough lớn may the struggle worth it.

If I could summarize this drama in one word it would be this: painful.
This drama is SUPER sad so prepare a box of tissues or you"ll end up getting tears everywhere. If you"re looking for a drama that is realistic & sad to lớn watch then I wholeheartedly recommend this, but if you don"t lượt thích watching realistic dramas, this one"s not for you. That being said, lets get lớn the review!Story: This story is very well written even though it does have some typical kdrama elements in it but I really appreciate how there are no plot holes & the pace is quick. A lot of people don"t lượt thích the love story in this but I think it"s refreshing. I don"t think I could make it through this drama without some refreshing breaks LOL. I really like the character developments and I don"t think In Ha is unnecessary in the drama. It"s nice khổng lồ see the main character have someone to lớn rely on (thats a girl ofc lol). One thing though, the ending could have been tweaked a little better.. Well I wanted some magical cure for Alzheimers but its okay I understand lol.Acting/Cast: Min Young, as always, was great & she did a really good job portraying In Ha as Jin Woo"s supporter and noona. Seung Ho as Jin Woo was amazing, I"m in love with his acting. Everytime he cried I cried và everytime he smiled I smiled. His acting is splendid and I"d like to see him as a main role in more dramas :) (happy dramas lol). P.S. He"s super handsome so thats a bonus haha. Phái mạnh Goong Min as nam giới Kyu Man (wow so close... A coincidence I don"t think so? haha) was AMAZING as a villain. He really portrayed all sides of the villain. Kyu Man spends his whole life pleasing his father và you can really see that & his anger issues are extreme. I"d have to say he definitely did an awesome job at giving this character dimension. Kyu Man"s sister was okay, nothing special about her và lastly Park Dong Ho"s character was amazing. His Busan accent và his acting was very good.Music: what? there was music? lol srry I was too busy crying...Rewatch Value: yes. Definitely. A gem. But I won"t watch this when I"m depressed LOLOverall: overall I definitely wholeheartedly recommend this drama khổng lồ anyone who wants a sad, realistic drama.
