Watched all 16 episodes of Thailand's 2021 Remember You, an urban saga about two brothers whose lives intertwine with that of Pathomkarn, a murderer who takes on the role of a Thai Iron John to abused children. The main characters are Tanwa Saksiri, a former FBI agent from New York and author of a successful book titled The Memory of a Murderer, who returns to Thailand as a consultant for the Special Investigative Unit of the Thai Bureau of Special Investigation. and his brother Meena a.k.a Paytai, a criminal lawyer. 

This movie is masterfully directed and masterfully performed. Even the support and the bit players were real and completely credible. There are interesting flashbacks with continuous shots, and past and present are frequently juxtaposed within single shots. While seemingly a series of detective stories with some romance thrown in, the entire work is really about character development and depth of characterization, and the directors and the writers are clearly knowledgeable psychologists. The casting is interesting: all of the young males represent the entire gamut of handsome Thai types and faces. Adult characters also look exactly like the children they had been in flashbacks; one adult character who is supposed to have had plastic surgery even retains vestiges of his former looks because of his eyes and his smile. This is a consistency rarely found in movies. The secret seems to be in the actors' eyes--yes, the eyes have it, for all of the performers seem to have been chosen for their expressive eyes.     

Here is one movie you wish wouldn't end halfway through the last episode because you know you will miss the characters you've come to know over all 16.

The only setbacks for me were the painting scenes, which, being a painter myself, were not convincing, and the lack of closure for the minor crimes, such as the Wattaya case. Loved the music track, especially for the suspenseful scenes, but wondered why the piano rendition of "To Love Again" from The Eddie Duchin Story kept making its way to the tender scenes.
