Memory Lost - first impressions
Dec. 14th, 2019 08:18 pmSeason one of Memory Lost has twelve episodes, and so far I've watched six of them. It's a fairly standard and not super exciting police procedural with one high concept thing about it: both the leads have amnesia and have forgotten each other. On the other hand, Yang Rong is SO HOT, and she and Bai Yu definitely look convincingly like they want to bang.

The way they express this is through fighting as foreplay.

(Look at at his face in these! He is INTO this.)

Despite his love of being pinned against walls by women Han Chen is a blandish character so far and it's very much Bai Jinxi's show (which I enjoy a lot.) She's a fun, exuberant, stunningly competent cop.

He is pretty cocky, and I do want her to slightly step on him. (Here he's looking a bit wibbly because he was trying to say a heartfelt goodbye to her and she was ignoring him and I was like YES.)

All the best hot cops have a lollipop habit.

All dishevelled here hhnnnngghhhh.
I'll definitely finish off season one, but I might not bother with seasons two and three unless it gets a lot more gripping.
You can watch it on the iQiyi app (paid access only, but the first two eps are free, and after that you get a month's free trial.) Or it's available in fairly low-quality here.
Content warning: the first six eps are about the investigation of a serial rapist. There's no onscreen sexual assault, but there is quite a lot of focus on women being traumatised.

As for rape, unfortunately season 2 has another case, even more creepier that the one in the 1st season. It took me some time to get through those episodes.

I love it, because, yes, Yang Rong is hot, and Bai Jinxi is definitely the main character here, and she can stand on her own. Han Chen is overpowered and the coolest Bond clone ever, but she is *still* better. I did not expect such a cool female character in cdrama, and I definitely love it for that alone.
Also, the music, and the relationship. All the cases and the plot are terrible. (Although I have to admit I loved the conclusion of the last season. Not the last few eps, because those are all flashbacks, for some reason - cdrama pacing wtf - but the conclusion of the main crime arc.)
And there are so many great BTS videos of it where they get to kiss even more. And Yang Rong is still friends with Bai Yu (and Zhu Yilong, btw), so that makes it even better.
My fave BTS video is this one (even though she hits her head, ouch) :

But the way she moves her hips omg.
