The year was bursting into bloom with excellent K-dramas. My favourites are Sky Castle<\/em> and Memories of the Alhambra<\/em>, both of which affected my waking hours when I wasn\u2019t watching them. I used to watch Korean dramas in my post graduate days and then the enthusiasm wore off. It does look like I am very much captivated by the new K-dramas. It is good news that the hold of the patriarchy on the script is weakening. At the same time, there\u2019s nothing like a good K-drama to make you feel good\u2014it always ends well and there\u2019s always lots of food to drool over. These dramas are accessible on Netflix (here are some great Malayalam films if you are in the mood to explore other languages<\/a>)<\/span> and in case they are removed in the future, there\u2019s always Viki<\/a> <\/span>to dazzle our K-drama binge nights.<\/p>\n Set in Spain and South Korea, Memories of the AlHambra<\/em> follows Yoo Jin-woo, an investment company CEO (Hyun Bin), and Jung Hee Joo, a hostel owner (Park Shin Hye). Jin Woo is at Granada to secure a deal on a new augmented reality game that is based on the mysteries of the AlHambra palace. The only problem is that the developer of the game is missing (maybe even dead) and the players who die in the game seem to be ending up dead in real life as well. The show is an adrenaline rush, really.<\/p>\n The graphics in the series are amazing, the cinematography promises beauty in every shot (no exaggeration), the storytelling is fast paced and each episode ends on a cliff hanger. I admit the last episode was slightly a downer, which often happens when you write out the story per episode instead of plotting it altogether (maybe? My speculations but I also think the script writer Song Jae Jung does a fantastic job more or less) and the product placements are severely over-the-top. What I would change about the series?\u2014More Park Shin Hye please. She gave such an incredible performance that it is a shame she wasn\u2019t in more scenes. Nevertheless Memories of the Alhambra <\/em>remains one of the best and fantastic TV show of last year. You will want to take a trip to all the beautiful locations in Granada.<\/p>\n1.Memories of the AlHambra (2018)<\/h2>\n
