@commonst @whoosh I think I dropped it at ep 2 or 3. I wasn't charmed by the story but I can't remember exactly what I didn't like.

Oooh - I'm working on my review of "When the Stars Gossip" - my take on the impossible tech there is different.

You're right about "Memories of the Alhambra" being sci-fi/fantasy, so you can be forgiving, but "Healer" being somewhat realistic and so their tech missteps didn't sit as well. (Although, Ahjumma is my favorite hacker ever!)

But "When the Stars Gossip" is in a class of its own for reasons I'm trying to define and so the impossibilities didn't bother me at all there.

Oh yay! We enjoyed it so much! Report back when you're done, even though you already watched it.

Memories of the Alhambra (cont.)

Aside from requiring a suspension of disbelief if you know anything about AR, the story is exciting & twisty - mind-bending. Each eps shows the future & then the flashbacks fill you in on the details. This format makes you speculate & guess. It's fast-moving & with the time jumps & unexpected events, it does get confusing, but all is wrapped up nicely.

Many people wanted more from the ending, but the clues dropped throughout the series provide enough information to "trust" that the ending is complete. Great acting, fun action, & beautiful scenery contribute to making it one of my favorite Korean sci-fi shows so far!

Memories of the Alhambra
(2018 - Netflix 16 1:10 eps)

Another case of the synopsis on MyDramaList not doing justice. A tech CEO comes across a revolutionary AR(augmented reality) game while at a conference in Spain. His only clue to the game developer is a hostel, with a beautiful owner, in Granada. He begins to play the game to discover clues, but it takes a sinister turn. His company & his life are at stake as he tries to put things right, but they depend on someone trusting him. But who can believe in the AR world they can't see? The tagline is "Trust is the magic that changes the world, not the technology." Even the setting - Alhambra has emblems of faith(trust) - emphasizes this theme.

@hanktank61 In W there's no boring episode though. Every time the anomalies occur, the webtoon story changes. The character life changes too.
I'm at a point now in #memoriesofthealhambra where the ML already faced the same enemy with the same conditions 3 times and he's avoided it at least another 3 times.
It's horribly repetitive.

I'm putting it on hold and likely I'll drop it. It started well but now, 20 min into episode 7, it's repetitive and there aren't any new elements with every reiteration. It's getting boring.

Also the FL is too predictable, naive and not very smart. #ParkShinHye definitely played a better character in #Pinocchio
Generally speaking all the female characters are annoying, the only exception being the teenage girl.

From the director of #W I expected better 🙄

If you want to see the potential of #MixedReality (especially in gaming) I highly recommend the #Kdrama entitled #MemoriesOfTheAlhambra #알함브라궁전의추억.

I can't wait to see it happen. It's not a question of “if”, it's a question of “when”. We are headed this way.

Even in #health, it will be of great benefit, and if tied with product partnerships… I don't know about you, but I am very excited.
