Script read for SBS’s legal thriller Remember
by girlfriday
Yoo Seung-ho must have scheduled some kind of wormhole travel this winter, because he’ll simultaneously be playing a cat-lover in Imaginary Cat and a genius lawyer in SBS’s new legal thriller Remember, and the two shows will be airing at the same time. On the upside, Yoo Seung-ho three times a week. There is no badness there.
Remember is the new series from the writer of The Attorney and the PD of Birth of a Beauty that stars Yoo Seung-ho as a lawyer with an excessively detailed memory (a condition called hyperthymesia), who races to prove that his father was wrongly convicted of murder and sentenced to death. Park Min-young (Healer) plays his childhood friend, an inexperienced lawyer who matures over the course of the drama as she chooses to stick by the hero’s side and help him fight.
Jeon Gwang-ryul (I Remember You) plays Dad, apparently at the request of Yoo Seung-ho, who’s worked with the actor on multiple projects (The King and I, Warrior Baek Dong-soo, I Miss You). Dad was actually an informant for the murder he’s been charged with, but because of his deteriorating memory due to Alzheimer’s, he now believes that he’s the killer. I wonder if it’s a genetic condition, because the hero faces memory loss as well.
Other than the heroine and Dad, I think it’s up in the air how the allegiances will fall, but Namgoong Min (Girl Who Sees Smells) definitely plays a bad seed. He’s a degenerate chaebol heir with anger issues and a laundry list of vices, who will push the hero into danger. And because even the villain needs bromance, Lee Shi-un (Falling for Innocence) plays Namgoong Min’s classmate-turned-secretary, which ought to be a hoot.
Park Sung-woong (Hidden Identity) is a lawyer who once worked for the mob, who has since worked his way up and now works at a firm that saves lives. He’s a survivor with animal instincts, and will get caught up in the conspiracy along with the hero. He’ll have a special relationship with Lee Won-jong (also of Hidden Identity), a mob boss who looks out for Park Sung-woong and takes care of him like a father. And both Yoo Seung-ho and Park Sung-woong will have a foe in Im Hyo-sub (Hwajeong), the prosecutor on Dad’s murder case.
It’s a stellar cast and a great plot — what could be a better source of motivation and tension than racing against Dad’s remaining time on death row? Let’s just hope the execution lives up to its potential.
Remember follows Village: Secret of Achiara on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and premieres December 9.

These photos are actually more like how she usually looks. Healer was a very different look for her, and a great one too!

yeah r8.. her hairstyle could be the reason though.
In healer she had a very bubbly short hairstyle that made her face look rounder than usual.

I love Yoo Seung-ho to pieces. He is one of those child actors that I get to see grow up on screen. I love him in sageuks, he's charming and gorgeous but I can't say that I've ever loved him for his acting.
I hope this role will be a break-out role for him, like Song Joong Ki in Tree with Deep Root.

Is it just me or does Nam Goong Min look very skinny? He used to be bulkier...

I think it's his hair cut. It's very close-cropped and it elongates his head and ages him. I follow him on Instagram and it's really interesting, if his hair is down and fluffy and he smiles and has good lighting he actually looks 28, tops. Put the hair up, look mean, and he ages 8 years like that.
I don't think he's changed his weight much. It's possible he's switched to a toning workout phase since Sensory Couple, but he had workout videos posted from before My Secret Hotel that show how buff he is. (Look at his butt some time if he doesn't have a suit coat on, the man has hamhocks back there.) He also did put together some indie movie shoot and he probably ran himself pretty ragged in that. But he posted the current look about 4 weeks ago and it was an abrupt change from his candids so I think it's the styling.

You're a fan? It's so sweet that you know so much about him :) I adore him and Hong Jinyoung in WGM and think he was stellar in The Girl Who Sees Scents. Anyway, with such a great cast and interesting plot, hope the drama will be successful :)

Honestly, PMY's character here seems awfully similar to her previous roles. Seems similar to Chae Young Shin from Healer (young inexperienced reporter fighting for justice, happy cheery personality) and City Hunter (young inexperienced Blue House guard fighting for justice).

An intern- young and inexperienced once again. I fail to see how it's a bad thing, though.

It isn't bad I agree. but after a certain point It gets repetitive to see an actor portraying the same, over n over again!

Imaginary Cat will apparently be pre-produced and it's a webdrama, so the episodes will probably be pretty short.

I so like Lee Shi-un, no matter the role he plays. He's dorky, funny. I can't even deal......don't be evil like Namgoong min, okay?

It'll be interesting considering he just did a comedic secretary role in Falling for Sung Joon so I would be surprised if this one was also comedic. I've been trying to imagine Namkoong Min doing comedy (and it's hard, even though he was hapless in Unemployed Romance) much less who would work with him. Though the "abs vs height" scene in Secret Hotel was pretty hilarious.

Looking forward to this drama so much. I love the plot as discussed. And I love most of the cast members.
The only cast member I do NOT like is Lee Won-jong. That guy is beyond irritating, and he does not know how to act - since he seems to only have one character that he repeats in all his drama, like a broken record. I already dropped both Vampire Prosecutor and Hidden Identity, because this guy was so unbearable.

Woah...I'm currently rewatching Warrior Baek Dong Soo and this is a Warrior Baek Dong Soo reunion. Minus Warrior Baek Dong Soo himself. ? If only Ji Chang Wook would cameo. My mind would explode. He's got his Buddy Yoo Seung Ho, his father, Master, and arch nemesis. Even Lee Shi Un was in there though it was only a minor role. Then his girl from another drama. ????
