Another teaser and a half for I Remember You

29 June 9, 2015June 9, 2015

Finally, a teaser for I Remember You that actually looks like a teaser! ‘Cause I’m pretty sure this first video wasn’t so much a teaser as it was a word association exercise with lots of fonts.

Granted, the teaser directly below is kind of just like that previous one, in that it tells us nothing of the story—just more fonts! More random words! In this teaser, the words merely highlight the one syllable they all have in common, which is the “You” part of “I remember you.” You = nuh, and the words are things like partner (pah-teu-nuh), eyeliner (ai-rai-nuh), owner (oh-nuh), designer (dee-jai-nuh) and so on. Yeah, I honestly don’t know what the production was thinking with that one, since it looks more like a mistake than a promo. Maybe those things are all clues in a murder mystery? Hey, I’m trying to find sense in it.

In any case, the second teaser, below, is much better at showing us a glimpse of the drama’s story, hinting at the shared past of our two leads, the sharp profiler played by Seo In-gook and the cop-stalker played by Jang Nara. A caption tells us that there’s a part of his memory that had been buried, and he wonders who she might be, as though he can’t quite place her. A quick flash to his childhood shows us a note that says, “In any case, I think my name is monster.” Interesting, and that at least explains why the drama was formerly titled Hello Monster. He wonders, “Is that child alive?”

Jang Nara, meanwhile, knows who he is right away (and thinks, “It’s that guy/jerk”), and as they come face to face, the caption tells us, “I’ve waited for so long.” We briefly see a young girl lying prone with a bruised throat (her as a child, perhaps?), and then Jang Nara comes face to face with Seo In-gook, who offers her flowers.

Okay, so I still don’t really know what the show’s plot will be about, but I like the moody sense of mystery and at least there’s a lot to work with here. Now I understand why she might be described as a stalker, if she knows the past he’s locked up and is aware of who he is. That’ll add another dimension to their partnership as they team up on the same special police task force, particularly if he remains unaware of who she is. Will he fall for her because they were childhood friends? Or will he remain in the dark?

I Remember You will premiere on June 22, following Who Are You—School 2015 on KBS.

Jang Nara has been busy this year.. This is her third drama this year if I'm not mistaking...

I really hate these kind of promo to be honest.. I only liked one so far and that was from the drama Misaeng.. The one with the elevator.. That was funny/ clever and the viewer's could relate to their situation..

Huh? This is her first drama in 2015. Her last drama, Mr. Back, ended last December.

You right ... I think it was because she did project after project without much break that made me think that...

I really like the second teaser actually. Finally, I am beginning to feel some flutter of excitement for this show! Which, coupled with my love for the leads, may push my finger towards the play button.

Is that not what teasers are all about? To "tease" us, intrigue us and make us all excited in anticipation of what the show will reveal? On that basis, that first teaser is a total fail! It just made me go... hhmmm, uhhh, wha.. what? what.ever!

"I Remember You" just makes me think of the Chet Baker song. Not a bad association, lol.

I really like the song though. Will probably check ou the drama for the song (hopefully an OST) if not for the poster. But the teasers just damp my enthusiasm.

I thought the note said that "I think my child is a monster"? Anyway, now we know that the original title did refer to SIG's character as monster.

The girl with a bruised throat and split lips didn't look as young, and, if it IS her as a child, I wonder what kind of (terrible) past she had.

yeah I think it was an adult myself, maybe JN's mother/sister add in unsolved murder..why she became a cop..why he blanked that part of his live out.....all pretty standard for a drama about police these days

Ah... The poster made me think it was a sleek police drama with a rom-com side... The teaser made me think melo.

I was really anticipating this for some reason. Getting to see a super spunky Jang Nara was one reason. Found SIG surprisingly handsome for the first time... Wasn't really keen on him before... but might check out his other works now.

If I may suggest, High School King of Savvy or Reply 1997 is great. In Guk really shine there :D
And you were right about the different vibes from the poster and the teaser. Could it be that the poster shows us the characters relation in the future in the drama while the teaser shows us the characters relation at the beginning of the drama?

Jang Na Ra is so amazing! I love her. But I fear for her character in this drama, because I have yet to see a Kdrama that didn't make its cops out to be bubbling incompetents, especially it's female ones. She has the built-in look of a doe-eyed innocent, so of course, she'll almost need someone to hold her hand while crossing the street. (I wonder who that might be...?). I foresee lots of opportunities for eye rolling, unfortunately.

Runaway Plan B had great cops in the form of Lee Jung-jin and Yoo Jin-seo. In fact, that drama's middle run had a very riveting cop-criminal run chase.

I agree with Jang Nara having the damsel in distress look on her. Hopefully this will prove an opportunity for her to change her image and prove many of us wrong.

The 3rd teaser give me more than an insight to the drama but also successfully to deliver the mystery and thriller vibe and romance too. I anticipate this drama a lot because of the leads and rookie actor Do Kyungsoo will act as villain in this drama. Can't wait for it...

Not really the teaser that I was expecting but due to my suuuper big love to SIG, I'll go whenever he goes :) And I trust his acting skills. He always deliver successfully and makes us fall in love with his characters!

I think some are forgetting it was said to be a com/rom and not a straight police drama, perhaps this video can put more light on things

general storyline reminds me of "remote" drama with koichi domoto (j-drama). Guy is really intelligent in solving crimes but won't leave his room (or shut in due to some kind of psychological concern). So the female lead does all the outside legwork/catching the criminal.
