## Premise and characters
Lee Jung-hoon anchors *News Live*, the number one news program in Korea, where viewers call him "the gentle tyrant" for the sharp, interrogatory questions he uses to expose lies[1](https://content.mbc.co.kr/program/drama/3481446_64285.html). He has hyperthymesia, a condition that lets him recall everything he has experienced since childhood in vivid detail[7](https://www.viki.com/tv/36977c?locale=en). The ability is also a burden: he cannot stop replaying the death of his first love, Jung Seo-yeon (Lee Joo-bin), who disappeared eight years before the story begins[7](https://www.viki.com/tv/36977c?locale=en) • [8](https://nekosdrama.wordpress.com/2020/05/20/review-find-me-in-your-memory/).
Yeo Ha-jin is a rising actress and social media personality who has forgotten a large portion of her past as a psychological defense mechanism[9](https://www.soompi.com/article/1388902wpp/4-things-to-watch-for-as-find-me-in-your-memory-gears-up-for-its-premiere) • [2](https://tv.apple.com/us/show/find-me-in-your-memory/umc.cmc.5crg2gq0z7m2vg4o379xm145j). She feels a void she does not want to investigate, and the drama's central irony is that her blocked memories and Jung-hoon's inescapable ones concern the same painful event[1](https://content.mbc.co.kr/program/drama/3481446_64285.html) • [10](https://kdramakisses.com/2020/05/28/find-me-in-your-memory-korean-drama-review/). The two meet when Ha-jin appears as a live interview guest on Jung-hoon's program, an encounter that goes wrong on air and draws them into each other's lives[1](https://content.mbc.co.kr/program/drama/3481446_64285.html).
The supporting cast includes Yoon Jong-hoon as Yoo Tae-eun, Jung-hoon's friend and a neuropsychiatrist treating both leads; [Kim Seul-gi](https://www.edgepedia.org/kim-seul-gi) as Ha-jin's sister and manager Yeo Ha-kyung; and [Lee Jin-hyuk](https://www.edgepedia.org/lee-jin-hyuk) as rookie reporter Jo Il-kwon, his acting debut[10](https://kdramakisses.com/2020/05/28/find-me-in-your-memory-korean-drama-review/) • [11](https://www.soompi.com/article/1400104wpp/find-me-in-your-memory-cast-shares-final-thoughts-as-drama-comes-to-an-end).
## Production and broadcast
The series premiered at 8:55 p.m. KST on March 18, 2020, taking over MBC's Wednesday-Thursday 21:00 slot from *The Game: Towards Zero* and later handing it to *Kkondae Intern* on May 20, 2020[3](https://asianwiki.com/index.php?title=Find_Me_in_Your_Memory) • [9](https://www.soompi.com/article/1388902wpp/4-things-to-watch-for-as-find-me-in-your-memory-gears-up-for-its-premiere). Director Oh Hyun-jong had previously worked on *Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo* and *Two Cops*[9](https://www.soompi.com/article/1388902wpp/4-things-to-watch-for-as-find-me-in-your-memory-gears-up-for-its-premiere). Writer Kim Yoon-joo's earlier credits include *Queen In Hyun's Man* and *Nine: 9 Times Time Travel*[12](https://dramapanda.com/2020/03/first-impressions-find-me-in-your-memory.html).
Although the episode count is listed as 32, each episode ran about 30 minutes, so the total running time matches a conventional 16-episode, hour-per-episode [Korean drama](https://www.edgepedia.org/korean-drama)[4](https://www.kdramalove.com/FindMeInYourMemory.html). Streaming platforms have split the material differently; Viki lists the series both as 32 episodes and as 16 combined episodes on different pages[7](https://www.viki.com/tv/36977c?locale=en) • [13](https://www.viki.com/tv/36977c-find-me-in-your-memory?locale=en).
## Reception
In MBC's 2020 first-round program quality index survey, which evaluated 146 programs across the four terrestrial channels, *Find Me in Your Memory* ranked 6th among MBC dramas, behind *Kkondae Intern* (2nd) and *365: Fate Reverses a Year* (4th)[14](https://with.mbc.co.kr/public/report/qi/2020.html). At the 2020 MBC Drama Awards, Lee Jin-hyuk was a New Actor Award nominee for his role as Jo Il-kwon[5](https://enews.imbc.com/Tpl/View/301878).
International reviews were generally favorable on the leads' chemistry and the show's treatment of healing, while criticizing a stretched final act. Reviewers noted that the drama uses hyperthymesia to explore the darker side of remembering, in contrast to earlier dramas that glorified the condition[12](https://dramapanda.com/2020/03/first-impressions-find-me-in-your-memory.html). Common criticisms included a stalker subplot in the later episodes, repeated noble-idiocy choices by the leads, and a finale some reviewers found filler-like; one reviewer suggested the story would have been stronger at 10 to 12 hour-long episodes[8](https://nekosdrama.wordpress.com/2020/05/20/review-find-me-in-your-memory/) • [15](https://www.hellokpop.com/review/k-drama-review-find-me-in-your-memory/). Positive accounts highlighted the ensemble's subplots, the sister relationship between Ha-jin and Ha-kyung, and the slow-paced but sustained romance[10](https://kdramakisses.com/2020/05/28/find-me-in-your-memory-korean-drama-review/).
## Legacy
The drama found a second audience through streaming, and it remains available on Rakuten Viki, OnDemandKorea, and the Kocowa Amazon Channel[6](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/find-me-in-your-memory). Kim Dong-wook and Moon Ga-young later reprised their characters in a cameo in episode 8 of the 2022 tvN drama *Sh**ting Stars*[3](https://asianwiki.com/index.php?title=Find_Me_in_Your_Memory). It is one of the Korean dramas built around hyperthymesia, a condition more often dramatized in thrillers such as SBS's *[Remember](https://www.edgepedia.org/remember-tv-series)* (2015)[16](https://www.soompi.com/article/798921wpp/remember-the-blood-chilling-search-for-truth).
