Synopsis
Seo Jin Woo has hyperthymesia: he remembers almost every day of his life in perfect detail. His father has the opposite problem — the first symptoms of Alzheimer's — and when he stumbles across the body of a murdered student, money and influence see him wrongly convicted of the killing.
So Jin Woo becomes a lawyer, determined to prove his father innocent and drag the truth into the open. Ranged against him are the corrupt and the powerful; and worse, his own memory is turning from an advantage into an affliction as he begins to lose it himself.
Can he clear his father's name before his own mind gives out?
