NetFlix jumped onto the KDrama wagon with adding a variety of Asian dramas to their listing (they would do well to add many more, in fact an entire Asian film division would be great) and also doing some originals as well. The first that I watched was Memories of Alhambra with my bias Hyun Bin and with Park Shin Hye and ChanYeol of Exo.
I thoroughly enjoyed this as it blended my love of the KDrama with my love of SCi Fi and the results were a program that kept me entertained. Without doing any spoiler I would say that it deserves a season two!
Synopsis:
The CEO of an investment company (Hyun Bin) puts his money on an AR game that's so revolutionary it will change the gaming world. However there is a bug in the system that leads to the CEO trying to solve the problem by becoming a player in the game. Added is the mystery behind the missing young developer, ChanYeaol who was to meet him at the Alhambra hostel which is owned by his family and run by his sister, Park Shin Hye.
For the script, NetFlix got Song Jae Jung, the writer for Nine, starring Lee Jin Wook and Jo Soon Hee, and W, starring Lee Jong Sook and Han Hyo Joo—two sci-fi thrillers that will also mess with your mind.
The plot hooked me right away and kept me invested in the program. The special affect are outstanding as well. I would give it a 9/10 rating and that is only because the attempt at adding a romance to the story was a bit weak.
