4 Major Plot Twists in Bad Memory Eraser: Episodes 13-14 Recap
As we near the final episodes of Bad Memory Eraser, the drama’s mysteries are finally unraveling, and the truth is starting to surface. While some questions have been answered, new twists keep the suspense high. From family betrayals to shocking revelations, episodes 13 and 14 take the drama in unexpected directions. Here are four critical truths we learned this week:
Contents
1. What Really Happened During Lee Kun’s Accident
Since the start, Lee Shin (Lee Jong Won) has been an enigmatic character, seemingly torn between love and resentment for his older brother, Lee Kun (Kim Jae Joong). While the clues pointed towards Lee Shin as the cause of the accident that nearly killed Lee Kun, the reality is far more tragic.
In a surprising twist, it’s revealed that Lee Shin attempted to take his own life by jumping off a bridge during a confrontation with his brother. Lee Kun, in an act of desperation, saved him, only to suffer a life-threatening injury himself. This revelation not only exposes the emotional trauma both brothers carry but also shines a light on the toxic pressures they’ve endured growing up. Their bond, though scarred, is rooted in deep pain, making this truth all the more heartbreaking.
2. Lee Shin’s Inner Struggles With His Tennis Career
Lee Shin’s emotional burden doesn’t stop at family issues—his career as a tennis player has been a source of inner turmoil as well. Though he’s been painted as a star athlete, it becomes evident that this path was never his choice. His mother’s relentless expectations pushed him into a life he never wanted, forcing him to sacrifice his mental well-being for success on the court.
In episode 14, Lee Shin makes a commendable decision to step away from tennis, taking time to prioritize his mental health. This break not only signifies his growth but also his decision to let go of his unrequited love for Kyung Joo Yeon (Jin Se Yeon). It’s a turning point in his journey toward self-discovery and healing, and it leaves the audience wondering if his retirement will be permanent.
3. The Identity of Jeon Se Yan’s Biological Father
Jeon Se Yan’s (Yang Hye Jin) quest to find her biological father has been a lingering subplot, with little relevance to the main narrative—until now. In a stunning revelation, it turns out her father is not only connected to her search but also to a dark and dangerous criminal past.
Her father emerges as the mysterious stalker who has been tormenting Lee Shin. His arrival in her life is far from a happy reunion. Instead, it is revealed that he has a history of violence and is likely responsible for Joo Yeon’s father’s death. Se Yan’s discovery is not only a personal blow but ties together multiple plot threads, adding more layers of complexity to the overarching story.
4. Lee Kun Uncovers the Truth About the Memory Eraser Experiment
Perhaps the most shocking truth in these episodes comes from Lee Kun’s discovery of the memory eraser experiment. After enduring so much hardship and pain, Lee Kun learns that his memories were artificially erased, leaving him with a life full of gaps. The fact that Joo Yeon is not his first love, as he once believed, only adds salt to the wound.
This truth is revealed by someone with no regard for his emotional state, which makes it even more painful. Lee Kun is left to grapple with the fact that those around him—his family and the medical professionals—have manipulated his life without his consent. His decision to undergo yet another procedure to regain his lost memories brings the narrative full circle, setting up what could be either a redemptive or tragic conclusion to his story.
As we head toward the final episodes, the fates of Lee Kun, Lee Shin, Joo Yeon, and Se Yan are more uncertain than ever. While much of the mystery has been uncovered, it seems that the emotional fallout from these revelations will drive the conclusion of Bad Memory Eraser. We can only hope that the resolution will provide closure to the characters’ tumultuous journeys, though it seems likely that more heartbreak is still in store.
