The SBS crime drama, "Remember," continues to rack up ratings. According to the December 17 report issued by Nielsen Korea, "Remember" recorded 11.7 percent in nationwide viewership with its third episode. This was a strong increase of 2 percent, from its previous rating of 9.7 percent.

While many investigative series lead viewers on a virtual wild goose chase before revealing the identity of the murder, "Remember" unveiled the true killer in episode three.

The drama opened with defense attorney Park Dong Ho (Park Sung Woong) accepting the case of Seo Jae Hyuk (Jeon Kwang Yeol) for the meager sum of approximately $50 USD (50,000 KRW).

His actions may appear charitable, but he recognizes the value of partnering with Seo Jin Woo (Yoo Seung Ho), a high-school student whose flawless memory allows total recall of events and facts. Dong Ho utilizes this skill to sway the jury, after revealing that the defendant was coerced by the police into making a false confession.

Dong Ho continues to maintain the image of an upstanding and virtuous lawyer, but his gang-style tendency towards corruption begins to unfurl after he illegally obtains footage of Nam Gyoo Man (Namgoong Min), who confesses to the murder of the young woman.

Gyoo Man is portrayed as a thoughtless conglomerate heir, whose reprehensible personality is on-par with Jo Tae Oh (Yoo Ah In) from the blockbuster crime film, "Veteran."

Romance has yet to develop between Jin Woo and Lee In A (Park Min Young), a pizza delivery woman and family friend, but her protectiveness towards him is omnipresent throughout the course of the drama.

KBS2's period drama, "The Merchant Gaekju 2015" experienced a drop in ratings. The Jang Hyuk series recorded 10.6 percent in nationwide viewership, a decrease of 0.8 percent from the previous episode.

The MBC series, "Sweet Savage Family," also recorded fewer viewers, with 5.8 percent of nationwide audiences tuning into the comedic drama.
