Your Ally has arrived...
Gaming since Atari (telling my age, lol). I know what it's like to build mods and play online with great friends. Alhambra's gaming schematics aren't your conventional couch or desk gaming experience. The all-AR base is physical.
In "Memories of the Alhambra", Yoo Woo plays Yoo Jin-Woo, a CEO who visits Granada, Spain, on a business trip and important mission. At Jung Woo's (Park Shin-Hye) hostel, he meets Jung Se-Joo's character, as he experiences a mysterious virtual augmented reality game.
Jung Joo's brother Se Joo is missing, and Yoo Woo's mission is to find him. Initially unaware of the brothers' relationship with Jung Woo, he hides most of his plans. It is soon apparent what "magic" he was speaking of when the game world is activated. In the process, we learn more about Se Joo's programming and his dilemma, and Yoo Woo's marital problems. A betrayal of Yoo Woo's friend CEO Cha Suk raises the stakes in Yoo Woo's mission and complicates his life even further. The only real impatience I felt from that point on came after Cha Suk made his 37th enemy appearance. (sarcasm)
In the middle episodes of "Alhambra," the story was a bit confusing. Mostly following the game. What was the truth behind the deaths? Were only a few people singled out? Is Yoo Woo really crazy? It became clearer as the episodes progressed.
Regarding the love interest, I wouldn't describe this as a romance series. Yoo Woo and Jung Joo's love provided a change of tone and stakes to the story. In my opinion, it wasn't significant, but it was sufficient in light of the story involving her brother and how much she liked Yoo Woo. Slowly, the romance developed. The relationship between the two leads took about 10 episodes to develop after a very rocky start. While she cried a lot, Park Shin Hye's doe eyes won me over.
Even with newly found love, the ML seemed to struggle with inner happiness.
"Memories of Alhambra" had good cinematography. The visual effects in the game were not groundbreaking, but they were different. As far as capturing the beauty of Granada and Barcelona by showcasing their iconic landmarks and architecture. Certain areas felt a little controlled to me. Permits for film can offer a lot, but only so much, I guess.
"Alhambra" had a good cast overall. Especially liked Jung Joo's little sister Min Joo. In most of her scenes, she played a low-key tone relief role. There was something annoying about her brother. As well as Jung Joo's male family friend.
While I did not resonate with some minor issues in "Memories of The Alhambra", the series was overall good. Other viewers may have a better or worse understanding. This is just my experience.
