'Remember' Premieres With 7.2 Percent Ratings

The combined star-power of Yoo Seung Ho and Park Min Young led "Remember" to a solid premiere. According to statistics released by Nielsen Korea on December 10, the first episode of the SBS crime drama recorded 7.2 percent in nationwide viewership. 

"Remember" is centered on Seo Jin Woo (Yoo Seung Ho), a young lawyer who is afflicted with hyperthymesia, a rare condition that is marked by the ability to recall details of past events with photographic clarity. 

Over the course of four years, Jin Win Woo attempts to exonerate his father from murder charges. While JIn Woo has perfect recall, his father, struggles with memory deficits due to Alzheimer's. 

Nam Goong Min is Nam Gyoo Man, a wealthy man who is self-absorbed and likely a culprit in the murder case. 

In the first episode, Park Min Young receives minimal screen time, but it is evident that her involvement in will be key in both the love line and plot development. 

However, the most heartwrenching scenes remain entrenched in the ability of Yoo Seung Ho, in a dramatic departure from his warm and fuzzy appearance in MBC Every1's "Imaginary Cat." 

"Remember" airs on in the 10 p.m. KST time slot and is scheduled for a 24-episode run. 

The KBS2 period drama, "The Merchant Gaekju 2015," continues to deliver double-digit ratings. The series, which stars popular actor Jang Hyuk recorded 11.6 with its 22nd episode, an increase of 0.6 percent.  

"The Merchant Gaekju 2015" remains one of the standout programs for KBS, a network which struggled with low ratings over the past year, with the exception of series like "Producer." 

"Sweet Savage Family" recorded 7 percent in nationwide viewership. The drama followed "She Was Pretty," premiering on November 18. The series debuted with 9.1 percent but has fluctuated with ratings during its run.
