MBN’s “Bad Memory Eraser” has unveiled a sneak peek of Kim Jae Joong and Jin Se Yeon’s long-awaited first kiss!

“Bad Memory Eraser” is a romance drama about a man whose life changes due to a memory eraser and the woman who holds his fate in her hands. JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong stars as Lee Kun, who was once a promising tennis player but lost his self-esteem and confidence after an injury. Jin Se Yeon stars as neuropsychiatrist Kyung Joo Yeon, who unintentionally winds up becoming Lee Kun’s fake first love through memory manipulation.

Spoilers

During the press conference for “Bad Memory Eraser,” Kim Jae Joong chose Lee Kun and Kyung Joo Yeon’s first kiss as his No. 1 pick for “a scene you need to watch carefully.”

At long last, that scene has finally arrived: in newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, Lee Kun and Kyung Joo Yeon lock lips during an emotional moment outdoors. While walking on a bridge together, Joo Yeon suddenly stops, leading Lee Kun to turn and face her.

As Lee Kun approaches Joo Yeon and looks into her eyes, there is something sorrowful about his gaze, as if he is on the verge of tears. He then tenderly cups her face and pulls her in for a kiss as Joo Yeon cautiously places her hands on his waist.

4 Moments Of Confliction For Kim Jae Joong & Jin Se Yeon In Episodes 9-10 Of "Bad Memory Eraser"

Drama

Sep 04, 2024

by andyzar

A heated tension is building up for both Lee Kun (Kim Jae Joong) and Kyung Joo Yeon (Jin Se Yeon) as they continue facing hurdles, one after another. Despite trying to move forward—both aiming to reach their personal goals—it looks like they are bound to find complications along the way. Whether it is their inner struggles or open fights with third parties, the yet-to-be couple still has a lot to figure out before they can dive into their romantic era. It makes you wonder if they’ll ever get to enjoy a sweet romance before the end of the show. However, it is inevitable to root for them while seeing how they cope with everything. So here are four moments in which they had some conflicts in the most recent episodes of “Bad Memory Eraser.” 

Warning: spoilers from episodes 9-10 ahead! 

1. Lee Kun suspecting Kyung Joo Yeon of hiding the truth

As we already know, Lee Kun is trying to figure out what exactly happened to him and why it looks like everyone, including Kyung Joo Yeon, is so adamant about not letting him find out the truth. To Joo Yeon, it is vital that he doesn’t regain his memories, since it involves the success of the medical trial that is still ongoing; however, as she gets closer to Lee Kun, in her heart, the weight of her actions starts to be too much to handle. It’s to the point that she doubts whether she did the right thing by erasing his memories. 

 

Despite the pain it’s causing him, he still wants to get back that missing part of his past. For better or for worse, memories are what make us who we are, and for Lee Kun, those memories are something only he can decide to let go of. More than anything, him yet again experiencing betrayal from the people he loves the most might be the real reason behind him regaining his memories. However, this is something only Lee Kun himself can answer. Given the fact that not even he can figure it out by himself, the only clue left to discover the truth behind everything is his missing diary.

Bad Memory Eraser: Episodes 11-12

by solstices

 

Our resident amnesiac circles back to the vignettes of his past, while those around him scramble to keep up the facade. Alas, the fault lines have long been etched into their relationships, and the widening cracks are about to drive them all apart.

 
EPISODES 11-12

 

Basking in the afterglow of their kiss, Gun invites Joo-yeon to stay the night at his grandma’s house. It’s empty, since she’s abroad, and the pair stargaze in the front yard while Gun reminisces about his childhood memories. They fall asleep next to each other in the car’s trunk, serene and contented.

Morning dawns upon the media day at the athlete’s village, but Shin’s camera anxiety has him avoiding all the interviews. When Joo-yeon approaches him to talk, Shin opens up about his imposter syndrome — he’s been walking in his brother’s shoes for so long that he fears the cameras will expose him as an empty shell.

In turn, Joo-yeon advises him to acknowledge that feeling, and grow accustomed to it. She empathizes sincerely — she isn’t without struggles either — and that finally spurs Shin to take it one step at a time, together. Holding out a marker, he asks her for a talisman to cheer him on, and she draws a cute smiley face on his palm.

 

Unfortunately for our little spitfire, she can’t run away forever. Sae-yan’s mom has flown in to urge her back home and discourage her search for her biological father. After all, Sae-yan’s Italian stepfather had taken them in back when they’d been penniless, and they ought to be grateful instead of inciting his fury. Overhearing, Gun comes to Sae-yan’s defense by spinning a case about her work visa — only to panic later once he learns her dad is part of the biggest mafia syndicate in Italy, lol.

Gun ends up whisked along on Sae-yan’s hunt for her father, and as they traipse through their hometown, a villager recognizes Gun and recounts a memory. There had been a period of time when Gun refused to speak or go to school: “Someone died because of that child.” The words trigger a migraine, and Gun nearly jumps into the creek again, chasing his memories. His first love had pulled a young Gun out of the water, then searched for the medal on his behalf — but the girl hadn’t resurfaced, leaving Gun to shout futilely across the silent creek. Oh no…

 

Shaken by the memory, Gun rushes back to the training center, sweeping Joo-yeon up into a hug. “Don’t leave,” he pleads. “I thought you died because of me.” She reassures him that she isn’t going anywhere, embracing him in return — and from afar, Shin witnesses this scene. Wounded, he heads straight for the toilets, frantically scrubbing the smiley face off his palm.

Meanwhile, Sae-yan’s run into trouble yet again — a jealous Shi-on immaturely spiked her drink with a laxative, then trapped her in a wetsuit. Unable to extricate herself from her predicament, Sae-yan latches onto the first person to walk past. Which just so happens to be Shin. With no other choice, Sae-yan pleads for him to help unzip her wetsuit, then shrivels up in shame afterwards. Guess they’re now even on the embarrassment front, at least.

 

Since Sae-yan won’t listen, her mom reaches out to Joo-yeon for help, since Joo-yeon is the only person Sae-yan has ever willingly followed. Joo-yeon reiterates that Sae-yan is a grown adult and can make her own decisions, but Sae-yan’s mom insists it’s for her own good — and for Joo-yeon’s too. Huh, I wonder what that means.

When Sae-yan’s mom reveals her previous involvement with Shin, Joo-yeon connects the dots and realizes Sae-yan is Gun’s actual first love. Reeling, she stands Gun up, opting to confront Shin at the swimming pool instead. Except Shin’s jaded and hurting, and he lashes out: “Why, did you catch feelings for Gun while acting as his first love?”

 

Then Shin notices Gun approaching, and impulsively — deliberately — pulls Joo-yeon into a forceful kiss. Ugh, not cool. Gun accosts Shin, and in their tussle, Shin ends up pushing Gun into the pool. Submerged in water again, Gun freezes up and blanks out, though he’s hauled to safety by the other two.

Subsequently, Joo-yeon avoids the issue entirely by occupying herself with household chores and rejecting both brothers’ calls. So much for her advice about facing problems and emotions head-on — she can’t bring herself to walk the talk. Instead, she cares in the most roundabout way possible. At her request, an overzealous Sae-yan nurses the feverish Gun (through hilariously questionable methods, but A for effort lol)

It’s at this worst possible time that Gun’s old emotion diary resurfaces. Joo-yeon finds it among her books — Sae-yan had taken it out from their mixed-up luggage — and it’s filled with entries about Gun’s first love and how he wants to see her again. Then later, when Joo-yeon is out, Shin pays her house a visit and accidentally stumbles upon the diary too.

Unsurprisingly, Joo-yeon is incensed when she returns home to find Shin playing cards with her mom in the living room. Shin attempts to defend himself — he couldn’t reach her any other way — then tells her he didn’t kiss her just to make Gun give up on her, but because he likes her. Coldly, Joo-yeon informs him she hadn’t known of his feelings, and doesn’t reciprocate anyway. (Um, you’re telling me his obvious flirting and date requests somehow flew right over your head?)

Right then, Gun walks in, piggy-backing a woozy Sae-yan who got drunk off the home remedy she attempted to make for him. Joo-yeon worriedly fusses over Sae-yan, and Gun pointedly asks why she isn’t concerned about him. He’s the one who’s been sick all day. Joo-yeon avoids answering, and when Shin purposely says things that can be taken the wrong way, she doesn’t correct him. Oy, these two are testing my patience.

1 Happy And 3 Frustrating Moments In Episodes 11-12 Of "Bad Memory Eraser"

Drama

Sep 11, 2024

by andyzar

Like most times in life, people have to face some ups and downs, something that is portrayed in the latest episodes of “Bad Memory Eraser.” Though we only have a couple of weeks left of this show, there are still so many unresolved things between Lee Kun (Kim Jae Joong) and Kyung Joo Yeon (Jin Se Yeon). Sadly, it looks like this K-drama will get even more entangled from here on before we can see a proper romance between the main leads. But not everything is bad as we can enjoy some laughs here and there amongst all the angst that reined in these episodes. Since hope is the last thing to die, let’s hope this couple will be able to catch their breath in the future.

Warning: spoilers from episodes 11-12 ahead! 

HAPPY: Lee Kun and Kyung Joo Yeon spending time together

Let’s call this moment the calm before the storm. Right after sharing their first kiss, our goofy leads get to spend the night together in the house of Lee Kun’s grandmother. They not only enjoy a beautiful starry night in the countryside but also have the chance to open up their hearts to each other. We are somehow used to seeing the eccentric and cheeky side of Lee Kun, but it’s also refreshing to see that Kyung Joo Yeon can be just as extra.

 

 

The silliness they show in this short while proves how much they’ve grown to be comfortable around each other. It’s not something you can have overnight, especially when the people involved have been through a lot of trauma and struggles. That’s why this moment between them is so significant for those who have been rooting for them. If there’s ever a slow-burn romance in K-dramas, this is definitely one of them.

 

FRUSTRATING: Lee Shin trying to manipulate Kyung Joo Yeon

However, happiness is short-lived in these episodes. Everything starts to change the moment Lee Shin (Lee Jong Won) takes a more central part in the plot and not exactly in a good way. It was hard to imagine that rather than being a second male lead, he would become the antagonist in Lee Kun and Joo Yeon’s love story. Though some people say when it comes to love everything is valid, Lee Shin goes too far. He not only pursues Joo Yeon aggressively, to the point where he tries to win over her family, but he also manipulates her to push her so she will give up her feelings for his brother.

Lee Shin...I dont like really where the script is going with him.

The screen-writer ruined the drama with the love triangle.
