SpoilerHere is a clearer SJJ interview ...still some bits I dont understand and disagree but learnt to just let it go. That's her style. She should just stick to movies.
@wenchanteur here's another SJJ interview that you'll enjoy. As a writer yourself and a fan of hers maybe you can/would understand her perspective more. Would love to hear you view on her interview.
Thanks @maris1 for the link - https://channels.vlive.tv/BF37FF/vtoday/0.9780052
This part of the interview is breaking my heart and making me boil ...like seriously! JW love for HJ is what keeping him from going insane. How could she - SJJ not realise the importance of HJ role into JW life yet concentrate more on his guilt with CHS
▼ Which direction will the two final episodes of the drama be developed?
Maybe Jin Woo's frustratingly complicated relationships will be solved. Honestly, I feel pitiful for Hee Joo if she becomes a couple with Jin Woo. Except for the title of "Plutocrat", Jin Woo is a character who has too many issues to discuss. If Jin Woo is supposed to take his relationship with Hee Joo seriously, he will have to handle more things and solve them thoroughly. I hope audiences will pay close attention to the story in which Jin Woo will pay his mental debt to Hyung Suk instead of his love affair because this really is an important thing to me.

Hahaha. This just shows how disconnected HJ and JW are, their budding relationship was not explored at all to the point the show had to force a death to push these two together.
I'm ok with HJ-JW. But the way their relationshop was built is just...it could have been better, just saying.
Here's another SJJ reasoning....
With credit - yysy
I just think SJJ under estimated the skills of PSH.
And as I recall IU role in "My Ahjussi" was far more prominent than HJ or Emma put together.
More article, now from soompi - https://www.soompi.com/article/1293407wpp/memories-alhambra-writer-reveals-hyun-bins-role-based-elon-musk-death-works-drama
“Memories Of The Alhambra” Writer Reveals Hyun Bin’s Role Is Based On Elon Musk + How Death Works In The Drama
Song Jae Jung, writer of tvN’s “Memories of the Alhambra,” revealed that Yoo Jin Woo (played by Hyun Bin) is based on Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk and shared how death works inside the drama.
At a press conference, she explained, “I found Elon Musk intriguing after coincidentally reading his autobiography. I drew inspiration from his life and created Yoo Jin Woo.” A few similarities between Yoo Jin Woo and Elon Musk are that they both have PhDs in engineering and that they are both self-made CEOs of extremely successful IT companies.
In continuation, she explained the workings behind death in the drama and how the AR (Augmented Reality) game is related to it.
Spoilers
Asked why Yoo Jin Woo and those close to him are the only ones whose in-game deaths can lead to death in reality, she stated, “You can think of it as a virus. Having murderous intent and breaking the rules created an error in the game. In Yoo Jin Woo and Cha Hyung Suk’s (played by Park Hoon) case as well, the murderous fights between the users caused them to become able to feel pain and unable to log out,” and added, “I had my storyline edited by a professional in the field. Using smart lenses to play an AR game means that the brain can be controlled by the game.”
Regarding Cha Hyung Suk’s mysterious death, she explained, “The scene where the police officer speculates that Cha Hyung Suk’s death was caused by a lack of blood in his body was written to trick viewers. That was only a speculation made by the police officer as they couldn’t properly check if it was true. The line was purposely inserted to create a tense atmosphere by implying that Yoo Jin Woo could be involved in the murder case.”
The final two episodes of “Memories of the Alhambra” will air this Saturday and Sunday at 9 p.m. KST.

Like/ love or question her work writer Song Jae Jong has given her explanations of MOA in her interviews...Oh this will be interesting. Open all links and you'll need google translate.
Read - http://www.mediasr.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=50796
https://www.dispatch.co.kr/2000551
From what I gather esp from this article - http://www.tvj.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=51890
She seems to explain her reasoning of the game as a virus that spread. For JW to still be playing the game even without the lens is part of the virus caused and it triggers the brain to feel the pain (eg.when attacked) and it can also be the reason for the death of CHS. With Seo because his JW ally Seo too would feel the pain of those attacks and share the same experiences as JW. She seems to highlight that MOA is a fantasy drama with some scientific influence. Where some bits cannot be clear because of it's fantasy element....(ME- Really?
) Though how Emma is the key, JW relationship between Director Park, Prof Cha, CHS etc will be explained in ep 15 and 16. (Me: oh it better be lol!)
That's how I interpret those articles.... I think we need our trusty translator @stroppyse if you have the time please skim read these interviews and see what interesting points you can share with us.
And inregards to PSH...this writer needs to do more than apologising to her...but for whats its worth it is a start
With credits yysy in twitter
So SJJ admits and did ask PSH to be understanding of her role... that MOA was written to be male hero centred and the female lead is ??? (i dont want to say)...GEEZ this woman needs to watch her in Doctors. Wait she didnt.
Though it would indeed be too late -

PPL this topic, I giggle when I see it in the drama. These actors/ actresses endorses these products. They have been sponsored by these brands and is contracted to use them in their dramas. So not only do these actors and actress bring their star power to the drama but also sponsors as well. Hence why they are a catch for many film productions.
PSH - Mamonde (makeup), Swarovski, the hair product (sorry I cant remember the name)
HB- Breitling (whom also sent HB a food truck to the set) and Lexus
SpoilerIm surprised they havent brought in their own clothing or bag sponsors as well. I guess they didnt have to and rather use various brands instead.
That aside these brands will in return sponsor the film production and likewise the production must use them somewhere in the drama. I agree the more sponsors the better. MOA is a HUGE production and the budget is I think I read over 20 billion won right? I just hope everyone gets their fair share of the profits and no one gets left out. Its sad to read that some productions have failed to pay the casts or crew and worse the dramas has been cancelled altogether.

@stroppyse with this scene of your translation, you mention something about PSH being scared that HB blood (Im assuming on his jacket) would stain her....but his jacket that his wearing isnt stained? Is there something more to their conversation that we werent aware of?
Im puzzled but giggling how PSH is so scared of him when he suddenly came close to her She's definitely fangirling -

@stroppyse Thank you so much for the full translation of the ep 13-14 BTS
15 minutes ago, yuhotarubi said:Uhm guys what if like the ending is the scene of HJ and JW meeting in granada and then just smiling atveach other ?? Something like the very first teaser and the poster ?? I'm ...... i don't want it i can't accept that kind of ending.
I hope it doesnt end that way. I cant handle a 1.5 episode of separation to only finally meet in the last half hour..
Though looking at the bits of the English lyrics of OST 6, I think they will be separated for a while.
I hope it reflects more on the time that he first left or now that his missing rather than any unnecessary time jump or memory loss. But like the last line said, "We finally can meet"
" I've been always here to live with you forever,
I think I know it from the smile that look at me shyly
All the time with you and all the time behind you
Maybe we've loved each other, or in love
Wherever you go, oh you
Wherever you are, wherever you go.
Maybe we're hidden from the world,
Following the road that has been fated
From the first day we breathed
It's a very, very long time.
We finally can meet"

Writer-nim please keep writing flashback after flashback ... and more flashback, I really love it.
No. no, no more please. Im at wits ends for this to happen again...*flashback* I was ok with it in the beginning. In fact I hardly took notes of it until ep 14. *sigh* I just want answers that has yet to be cleared because it is slowly being revealed through these flashbacks of a flashback of a flashback.
I agree, maybe they filmed the scenes all in one long take. Then the PD, Writer and the editing team thought nope, stop it to that, make it more suspenseful - show it later, continue the original timeline then air the flashback again but extend it a bit then cut continue the original timeline - throw in the flashback (again) but with more extended bits, then cut the rest to be aired later.....and the cycle begins again right up to the finale. Woah! have I lost anyone yet?...because I am.
Let me try again with @siddy09 post.
2 hours ago, siddy09 said:Other than that, I found no issues with flashbacks because, heyy..story is going forward! We know what went wrong with the game, Emma is the actual glitch, We still dont know what went wrong with the game - how is CHS and Seo became NPC died and forever attacking or defending JW? is Emma the glitch? if so the glitch wasnt fixed - the key was given to her it says the quest has been complete then...poof! nothing...next scene
SeJu returned, JW completed the quest. How is the quest completed if JW is still missing? His obviously hiding together with Prof Cha so that HJ or anyone else will not be harmed. Does this mean the game or quest is still on?
And not to mention, there is still one more story left to be told by JinWoo, so it is still not a failure; the story is still open! I agree story not a failure but the delivery of it needs work. Its open because theres 2 more eps and they need to DRAG it out till then. All those pauses/ cliffhangers purposely done to continue over to the next ep.
I hope I dont offend anyone here, Im just voicing my frustrations and as much as I love MOA and Im truly enjoying the laughs that we share here. I just dont like where its heading...anymore eps I think I'll go insane not JW.

Hello, I'm new here but have watched this drama until ep 12. Definitely going to watch next eps at night. May I ask about background music in ep 12, when Heejoo changed her clothes until she met Jin woo on a date? It's a beautiful BGM but I don't know its title and when will it be released. Thank you
Welcome to Soompi! Wow you are indeed a newbie lol! Your first post too.
This BGM will be released together with the full OST album so it might take longer. (Generally within a month after the drama ends - though this being pre-produce maybe earlier) All the instrumental music of any kdrama tends to released with the full album and only the OSTs are earlier.

Honestly, this is how I feel right now about the game:
I think I have to watch it thoroughly because so much is going on that it’s easy to lose track of what is happening.
At at this point, if I was CEO, i would not even launch this game. The errors are really bad. The losses are more than the gains
Watching it live last night was confusing enough to really make me want to throw books at my screen. Now with subs Im feeling just as frustrated..
1. JW finally meets Emma give her the key...then nothing. We dont see the rest
2. Police races into the church, opens the door, then nothing. NADA!
3. HJ goes into the church, sees Emma ...again NADA!
4. Server shutdown...why??
5. Somewhere in between this crazy timeline the exwives wished one died over the other and richard simmons wish granted....maybe...again nothing more to report.
Why would SoJin go down like this? She has a child. Suicide will not resolve anything. My head is spinning...is this all what Prof Cha wanted as well?
6. Police chase ....dont get me started there. Luckily a warrant has yet to be granted as I'd seriously will doubt the legal judaical system
7. and they are so lucky that the ending clarified that HJ saw was indeed SeJu because if they didnt I'd really ...
PLUS the EXO fans will cause a riot!
All these points done to explain in the next eps to come. Plus knowing the writer she will throw in more questions..
I hope my frustrations doesnt turn to disappointment. Im holding onto this drama just by a very, very thin thread....
and Prof Cha better not try to kill JW to take the blame of all that crap that he plotted... just to save the company and his own a$$et$.
wait I think that's what he'll do. @vangsweetie637 @ktcjdrama Im def feeling the pain of many viewers. Ive seen the writer's previous work QIHM and I did enjoy it. I never understood how the time travel was possible so I just accepted that it was the fantasy element of the drama. Though I dont recall the writer using these flashback and pauses/ cliffhangers so much as in MOA. I think I seriously might need to reconsider watching any of her future works now. Im too invested in this drama and truthfully the OTP to let it go altogether. With 2 more eps remaining I hope I can say - "All's well and ends well" with no questions marks at all.
By the way did we get the answer for poll 2? I dont think so right because there's still some NPCs around. Emma is the key but it didnt resolve the game and its issues...

[Memories of Alhambra] Ep 14 spoilers, Hyun Bin x Park Shin Hye
Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2019
Article: Naver 'Memories of Alhambra' Han Bo Reum makes a false statement for Park Hoon's case "Hyun Bin killed him"
1. [+1987,-4]
There were no signs of him being strangled.. But with just her statement.. he's not even a serial killer.. they are putting him on wanted list..?
2. [+1093,-10]
This is so frustrating, seriously.
3. [+1123,-47]
Wow.. the first 15 mins of today's episode is filled with flashbacks and the past scenes. It's been 30 mins now, and he's been running around in the city. ㅋㄱㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㄱㄲㄱㅋㄲ The production team has no conscience.
4. [+1017,-38]
A drama that one doesn't need to watch, if not for Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye.
5. [+581,-17]
Han Bo Reum, her acting is too... She acts as if her beauty is deadly. I can feel that she's trying so hard, so much that I feel uncomfortable watching her.
6. [+334,-3]
Next week's the final episode, looks like it's going to end with reaching level 100 and saving Se Joo. What is this? Trying to save Se Joo for 16 episodes?
7. [+312,-10]
This is a drama that makes one lose interest. It was really interesting in the beginning, but now, I'm watching it while looking at my phone.
8. [+265,-7]
Memories of Alhambra Sweet Potatoes. [t/n: sweet potatoes = frustration]
9. [+264,-6]
Ah.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Scriptwriter, please add some context. There were no signs of suffocation found in the autopsy, does it make sense that they are after Hyun Bin just because of Go Yoo Ra's statement? This is absurd.
10. [+255,-7]
But they did mention that even if he isn't limping in the game, the CCTVs would show that he's limping... He was running today... So, is he running while limping in reality..? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What's this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The special items too. They were made freely without any restrictions. If that's the case, they should've made something invincible.. ㅋㅋ Like the game, this drama has lots of errors.
Spoiler
Article: Naver 'Memories of Alhambra' Hyun Bin gives Emma the golden key 'quest complete' … Chanyeol returns
1. [+7280,-203]
200 billion won for the production... They should give Hyun Bin a huge chunk of it.. If not for Hyun Bin, I wouldn't be watching this till now... I'm hanging on because I like seeing Hyun Bin. What's with the directing skills and the scriptwriter's writing skills? Seriously.. When the hawk appeared, I still had a little hope in me, but what is this.. This isn't a C-drama, why are they repeating scenes that were shown in the beginning..? If this is too much for them to handle, they could've just finish it within 12 episodes.. Viewers these days have high standards, they dislike draggy scenes... Look at SKY Castle, their production fees are only a third of this, but everyone is crazy over it. I'm going to watch next week's episodes because I feel that it's a waste since I've followed it till now.. Please don't disappoint.. The only good thing about this drama is Hyun Bin is renewing his peak again.
2. [+4803,-138]
Seriously, whenever I watch this drama, I kept thinking if the scriptwriter sees viewers as idiots. I don't get annoyed or angry just once or twice. I think it's right that I'm an idiot. When Hyun Bin was swinging the fire at them, I smiled and when I was about to get angry, Hyun Bin's close-up on the side of his face in church left me amazed. And the corners of my lips went up when they threw in a kiss scene that has no context and is old.. Guess I'm an idiot for Hyun Bin....
3. [+4057,-76]
Someone should hit Se Joo on the back... You should sort out everything on your own now, Se Joo-ya...
4. [+2699,-55]
From Secretary Seo to his ex-wife.. How is Yoo Jin Woo going to take it? This is my first time seeing such a pitiful male lead. Hyun Bin is so handsome and his acting is so good that I feel bad for him even more.
5. [+2191,-84]
The development felt like I had eaten more than 1000000 sweet potatoes.
6. [+973,-13]
The quest has ended, but why am I not feeling the satisfaction or happy at all?~
7. [+800,-11]
No, ㅋㅋㅋㅋ but there were no signs of murder. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He believed someone who is drunk, that he was strangled and put Hyun Bin on wanted?? The scriptwriter mentioned that he died from excessive bleeding... And you can only talk to Emma if you're above level 5, is Hee Joo an exception...? But still, it's the last episode next week, I'll watch it. Please let Yoo Jin Woo be happy.
8. [+798,-31]
That Sang Beom who's like a family, why does he own a Lexus worth 1 billion won? Did he sell thousands of guitars already? I have nothing to say about the development since a few episodes ago. But even if it's an ad, they should match it with the character.
cr. https://melohwa.blogspot.com/2019/01/memories-of-alhambra-ep-14-spoilers.html
I totally agree the police investigation does not make sense...maybe they just want him in for investigation purposes and the more JW runs the more suspicious they get. This writer like many has made the police look so stupid
Looks like kneitz isnt too happy with the writers work...I agree there is no rules in the game, it's becoming to draggy with the flashbacks over flashbacks making it so confusing. If this is her style of writing
Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye is carrying the weight of this drama. *sigh* Let's hope it doesnt effect the ratings particularly for next week finale.
"Congratulations MOA team on 10%"

where r we? level 100?
Yes JW made it to lev 100, he gave Emma the key and then we dont see him anymore. HJ was trying to find him but no luck.
@yuhotarubi no there isnt 2 HJ, shes just remembering what happened in the change room with JW. That was the last time she saw him and was going back there to see if he was there.
i think the game is still on. As HJ was looking for JW - walking back to Myeongdong she was shot by 2 NPCs.... This still happened despite JW giving the key to Emma , so the quest hasnt finished and was only able to free SJ. Maybe he left Seoul because he doesnt want HJ to find him and is near Prof Cha.

But most importantly why didnt JW use his fancy watch when in Granada to save Seo? Is this a new item or something?
I think it must be the latest model. Also the watch was a new weapon whom Choi just designed for him. It was mention in ep 13 after JW request it but we didnt see what the weapons were till now. It was during their Subway meeting

Ikr if it wasnt for HJ , Id say JW wouldve been dead many eps back. This drama is very male role centred where JW is the focus. Thus his development in how he overcomes all these game issues, CHS, Prof Cha plot, exwives craze should lead to him to a path of achieving a happy ending esp with HJ...oh my head is spinning. Suddenly Im not looking forward to the finale. I hope they release a better spoiler than SJJ interviews. I need a cold shower to calm down.
@hyuuhikari @katakwasabi SJJ ideas is just ...
@vangsweetie637 according to SJJ logic magic is the answer because its a fantasy drama.
