One thing I have to criticize the writer is - again - the way she writes her female characters. This is something that ruined W for me, and in Memories of Alhambra made the romance feel forced and unnecessary. I couldn't help but sigh at the waste of Park Shin Hye's time for this show.
I still enjoyed it, however. I'd reccomend it for those who enjoys a drama packed with suspense and action, and that will leave you with questions after every episode, this might be for you.

This show should not be advertised as a romance
Listen, the concept was so out there I just HAD to watch it. And it was a cool concept! But the story itself? If you want to watch this for the romance...don't. This isn't a romance, this is the chronicles of one man's descent into madness and it would've worked better to advertise this as a psychological thriller. The Granada setting is severely underutilized (we only go to the Alhambra once despite it being in the title), which disappointed me because it's such a beautiful area. Hyun Bin is fine af but his character is a yellow flag that only turns more and more red as time goes on (and seems intent on dragging everyone down with him) and the writers are out here making no effort to make it better, all the while Hee-joo is losing sleep over this man? Girl no. This is one of those "I don't ship the main ship with each other, I ship them with therapy" stories.Super cool idea and okay execution (the internal logic of the game was slipping a bit by the end there) but I loath to see the 'romance' praised when this dude took advantage of her family, was snappy to her 90% of the time, always left her out of the loop, literally skipped town on her birthday and never seemed to show true remorse for any of this. On the bright side, I can now name a classical guitar piece ('Recuerdos del Alhambra' is VERY much the main theme of this drama) and recognize it in under 5 seconds!

So Much Potential
I really enjoyed the first half of this drama, it was well acted, well paced and the story was interesting and not the usual genre I sway towards. I just wishes it hadn't gone on so long, I think 3 or 4 episodes shaved off would have helped the drag towards the end. It took me a while to get through but I had watched the first half in about a week. The setting in Spain was beautiful and different, I enjoyed the parts set there the most.I liked all of the actors and hope to check them out in other titles.

Ce drama est un bijou tant au niveau des images, du suspens que de l'histoire. Le rythme haletant vous entraîne épisodes après épisodes, pas le temps de reprendre son souffle!
Les rôles principaux jouent vraiment très bien et incarnent parfaitement leurs rôles mais les autres rôles sont aussi excellents, j'ai particulièrement aimé la relation entre Hyun Bin (Yu Jin Wu) et Lee Re (Jeong Min Ju, la sœur de Jeong Hee Ju) pleine de tendresse et parfois aussi très comique.
La romance n'est pas très présente sur le début mais s'impose petit à petit sans devenir le point focal du drama ce qui n'est pas gênant vu l'intensité de l'histoire première.
Beaucoup de points positifs donc... MAIS, je me dois malheureusement de nuancer mon jugement pour deux choses: tout d'abord, la fin est à mon sens très frustrante! Sans spoiler ceux qui n'ont pas encore vu le drama, j'ai plus l'habitude des fins qui ne me laissent pas sur ma « faim » - sans mauvais jeux de mots- et j'ai trouvé cela fort dommage mais pas si grave non plus.
J'en arrive au deuxième point, beaucoup plus grave, et toujours sans spoiler, vers l'épisode 13, on peut voir une ÉNORME faute de scénario, ce qui m'a fait perdre le fil de l'histoire, j'ai comme été éjecté.e de l'action et je ne suivais plus rien tant j'étais occupé.e à essayer de comprendre ce qui s'était passé en pensant que ce serait expliqué à la fin, mais non... Sans en dévoiler trop et pour aiguiller ceux qui veulent savoir de quoi je parle : c'est quand Yu Jin Wu raconte de quelle façon le frère de Jeong Hee Ju à été blessé et surtout l'endroit où ça se passe...
Bref, à cause de cela je ne peut pas lui mettre une note maximale même si j'ai vraiment beaucoup apprécié ce drama.
Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis.

beaux paysages
De belles scènes filmées en Espagne, la musique est parfaitement en accord avec les scènes.les acteurs : Hyun Bin bon dans son rôle principal, toujours élégant et charismatique. heureusement qu'il est là, je trouve qu'il porte à lui seul la série. Park Shin Hye est un peu molle dans son rôle, voire limite agaçante quand elle pleure.
le scénario est bon : un jeu video en Espagne, j'adore l'idée. mais quelques incohérence, entre les capacités de l'ingénieur, qui peut tout à coup lui fournir des armes supers, alors pourquoi ne pas le passer au niveau 100 ? une grosse inconnue, que faisait le jeune frère pendant que Hyun Bin passe les niveaux ? il a réussir à vivre de quoi ?
ce qui joue en sa défaveur : de longs flash back trop fréquents et des longueurs parfois que j’ai zappé – l’histoire est bonne mais la fin est un peu bâclée, on reste sur une ouverture, une suite ? peut être
Malgré tout on accroche à cette série

I maybe liked it better than most people, but . .
I ended up being one of those people who is REALLY unhappy about the ending, otherwise I would have rated this higher. On the plus side, Hyun Bin was fantastic. The female lead was meh. I didn't feel like the script really served her well. I liked the aspects of her character where she was hard working, a problem solver, and tenacious. But, gosh, so much crying. Many of the secondary characters were useless. If you are a Hyun Bin fan, you will be very rewarded, but I wouldn't recommend getting engaged in the story. Lots of it doesn't make sense, but none of that bothered me. The ending was so bad that I assumed I had miscounted and there was another episode. Again, focus on Hyun Bin. :)Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Same problem
"I was unable to finish the drama because the Spanish representation seemed like garbage to me. It's impossible for the protagonist to enter the hospital with such an attitude and not get kicked out, not to mention the portrayal of the police. I was interested because it featured Granada, but I couldn't get past the first two episodes because the people who were supposed to be Spanish delivered their lines without any emotion, which took me out of the series itself. Perhaps the story is cool at its core, but I'm sorry, I can't recommend it."Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Interesting concept, but did not grab me
I started this based on a recommendation of a KDrama to watch on Netflix. The concept of the show was intriguing.But right off the bat, the unlikable ML was a bit of a turn off. Based on many reviews it's the initial episodes that are what grabs your attention. But by the first dramatic turn, I found myself not just disinterested about what was happening to the ML, but genuinely turned off by the show as a whole. The beautiful European backdrops did not make up for what I felt was a dull show overall.
