Indian ice-cream

Some time ago, we went to GEM restaurant, an Indian restaurant in Georgetown for a farewell. A friend had recommended the briyani there as "the best in Penang". I didn't find the briyani that special, though it was definitely good briyani at an affordable price (RM18.90 for lamb briyani, and with plenty of lamb pieces).

We also ordered dessert to share. It was the first time I had tried kulfi, which is basically Indian ice-cream.

They serve it sliced:

It seemed to have pistachio bits in it, which is good. I liked it :) Though it's still slightly pricey as all these desserts usually are. :P I can't remember the exact price though.

Numbers

Recently I watched Innocent Defendant, a Korean drama about a prosecutor who was framed for the murder of his wife and daughter. The storyline was interesting, but the details weren't taken care of so well. A number of times, it had me thinking, "Why on earth did he do that?" or "Why didn't he do that?" But there were also quite a lot of humorous scenes, which together with the overall plot made the show an enjoyable watch.

Notably, a big part of the drama took place in prison, where the inmates are often referred to by their 4-digit number.

Then this weekend, there was an urgent issue at work and they asked a few of us to step in and work during the weekend (it was wrapped up in one day yesterday, yay!). They created a Whatsapp group, and with engineers and managers in the group, some people were asking stuff like, "Who is 1234?" "Who is 5678?" I couldn't help noticing the resemblance to being referred to like prison inmates... :P

A handsome discovery

Recently there has been a new channel offered by Astro/Njoi. Channel 110 is Hello (easy to remember because they took the "llo" in Hello to become 110, the channel number), and there are a number of Korean shows on it. Notably, there are Korean movies being shown every Saturday and Sunday, at 3pm and 9pm. That is four movies a week!

Anyway, I have been watching those that sound interesting, and in the process, discovered a few actors as well. One thing that I noticed is that Hello seems to keep showing movies that feature certain actors. At first there was Kim Myung Min, whom I had seen in Detective K: Secret of the Living Dead (if not mistaken that was on another TV channel; the movie wasn't that good :P ). Hello showed Open City, which was so-so, A Day, which was good, and more recently Deranged, which I had already watched before with Snorlax (I think it was okay but not that good).

A Day also starred Byun Yo Han, whom they had also featured in Will You Be There? (this one is very good; it's based on a book by Guillaume Musso and now I'm dying to read the original) But I don't think they have shown any other movies with Byun Yo Han, so maybe that's a coincidence.

Then there is the actress Son Ye Jin who acted in Open City with Kim Myung Min. Among her movies, Hello also showed Be With You, a super-sweet story that was adapted from a Japanese novel (I thought it would be a cheesy love story and only switched on the TV because I wasn't doing anything else, but it turned out to be a beautiful story), Classic (which I also thought would be cheesy, and it was slightly cheesy, except that the love story in the past was more dramatic and it wasn't so bad after all), and The Pirates, which I didn't watch because it didn't sound interesting.

The other actor that they seem to be featuring is Gang Dong Won. For this one, I thank them from the bottom of my heart (exaggerating much? Maybe... :P ). He is so good-looking. For now I have watched three of his movies (all on Hello) and they are all pretty good.

Gang Dong Won

The first movie that I saw him in was Master. Ironically, at that time I was more interested in seeing Kim Woo Bin (whom I like quite a lot too) in a non-teenage-bad-boy role. I didn't even notice Gang Dong Won much when he appeared at the beginning of the movie, maybe because he was playing a rather arrogant guy and I didn't care much for him. But later in the movie he smiled, and I looked up the actor.

After that I saw him in A Violent Prosecutor. That movie was also quite good.

Then on Sunday I just saw him in Secret Reunion, and I don't know whether he's just growing on me, but I just like him more and more.

When looking him up, I noticed that he actually also acted in Kundo: Age of the Rampant, which Hello had shown but I didn't watch because it didn't look interesting enough.

Next week they are showing Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned. That makes five movies of his that Hello is showing (and I'm not sure whether I missed mentioning any). From the synopsis, it's not really a movie that I would definitely watch, but maybe I should watch it just to see how he does.

IWD week at work

The 8th of March was International Women's Day. Every year, Motorola will give the female employees a token of appreciation on that day. This year, they went a step further and organized a whole lot of events for the entire week.

I didn't join every single event that they organized, but here's what I got from that week:

On Tuesday, there was a workshop to make decorative woolen bangles. This is what I made!

Basically you take old bangles and wrap wool around them, then tie them together with beads and other decorative items to make a hanging decoration. Every piece is unique, it's all up to your creativity!

On Wednesday they had a small charity event where you could get a nail painted for RM1. Just for the sake of supporting it, I went and got my pinky nail painted. Two of my guy friends got both of their pinkies painted. The girl who painted my nail was surprised that I only painted one nail... I noticed other ladies got all ten nails painted. :P

Anyway, you can see my gold pinky nail in the photo below, where I am holding the pandan roses that I made in the workshop on Thursday.

It's actually the same as a ribbon rose that I had learned how to make years ago. But I had totally forgotten how to do that, so this was like a refresher. Plus pandan smells nice!

I only made five roses and tied them together because I had to leave the workshop early for a meeting. Otherwise, we could actually make up to seven, which would make a nicer-looking bunch, and also they had taught us how to make a basket for the roses as well, all with pandan leaves! The handle of the basket is actually made by pleating three strips of pandan leaves together. The roses are made with the whole pandan leaf, whereas to pleat the handle, the pandan leaves would need to be slit into half (or smaller than half, I'm not sure...maybe it depends on how wide the leaf is).

On Friday, the actual International Women's Day, the female employees received a flower each...

(the vase is my own)

...and a mystery box.

I thought it was cutlery, but it turned out to be metal straws.

There are three straws inside; in the photo below, I have shifted the wider straw (bubble tea straw) to the side so that we can see the smaller straws better.

There is also a brush to clean the straws, but the brush seems too wide to fit into the smaller straws... I'm confused, isn't this an actual set? Or are we supposed to force the brush into the small straws and the width of the brush will make sure that the straws are cleaned properly?

It's not a very useful gift for me, since I seldom use straws... I hope I remember to use it when I actually want to use a straw!

Exorbitantly priced food at Hoshino

We went to Hoshino Coffee for a colleague's farewell. Basically the French toast tasted great, but the others were not so great. And everything was overpriced to me. Even the great taste of the French toast didn't reach the greatness of its price.

cheezy cutlet, RM28

We can choose to have this with either rice or toast. I tried some, it was good! Although the price is still off-putting.

Japanese curry chicken rice, RM23.90

I tasted some of the curry, and it was quite good. This also can come with toast instead of rice if you wish.

omu mozza prawn, RM23.90

This is omurice with prawn (I think the mozza is for mozzarella). This, together with the curry rice above and the dish that I ordered below, are on the seasonal menu. I didn't try this one.

soft-shell crab spaghetti, RM31.60

I didn't try this one either, but it can't be too bad... though of course the soft-shell crab contributes to its price, so the price tag is unsurprising.

Then on to the dish I myself ordered, a bomb! (literally)

fuwa fuwa fluffy souffle doria, RM23.90

I don't know what doria is, but this looked so interesting on the seasonal menu that I couldn't resist giving it a try. (my friend says that fuwa fuwa means "fluffy" in Japanese) Now that I look up doria, I find that it is the Japanese version of rice gratin (basically cheese-baked rice). I may not have ordered it if I had known... since I seldom go for cheese-baked rice.

What's special about this dish is of course its fluffiness. I'm guessing that the top is egg white, and it has really puffed up into a cloud.

cutting through the cloud into the rice beneath

Since I didn't know what this dish was at all, I didn't know what to expect underneath it. Turned out it was some sort of tomato rice. I definitely would not have ordered it if I had known it would be tomato rice...

The rice didn't taste bad, but it didn't taste specially good either. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to eat this dish, so I just scooped up some rice together with some of the cloud and ate them together. The rice had a few small bits of chicken, slices of chicken ham, and beech mushrooms in it. There were too little of these, if you ask me. For the price (again), I feel they could have put more chicken!

Just on top of the rice (between the rice and the cloud, there seemed to be a cheesy layer, so I guess they put the rice, the cheese, then the whipped milky/eggy/cheezy mixtureon top.

This is a photo I took while I was finishing up. I suddenly realized that we couldn't see the rice in the previous photos that I had taken.

As for dessert, we ordered French toast and a pancake, because those who had been there before said that it wasn't right to go there and not order dessert. When we ordered, we forgot to say that we wanted the dessert to come later (they didn't ask... though my friend said they did when he came here before), and our French toast reached first of all, before the main dishes. So we had it first.

French toast, RM17.70

The dollop on top is whipped cream. It also came with maple syrup (or corn syrup, more likely) to be poured on it.

The French toast was really good, but like I said at the beginning of the post, this price is still too high. (It's just bread!)

As for the pancake, it was disappointing. It is special because it is a thick pancake (soufflé pancake) instead of the usual thin kind.

single pancake (RM14.80) with added ice cream (RM3) and whipped cream (2.20)

There was nothing special about the ice cream, and the pancake seemed quite bland. We poured quite a lot of syrup to be soaked into it. Those who had already tried both the French toast and the pancake had told us earlier that the French toast was definitely better, but I feel that they should have told us that the pancake was totally "not good" and not worth ordering. As one of them said, the pancake is only photo-worthy.

All prices include service charge and government tax.

Laundering

I think we've all heard of money-laundering, whether or not we know what it really is. For a long time I only knew the term, and then I discovered the mechanics of it, which is something like taking that tainted money that came from an illegal source and channelling it through a legal source so that the recipient through the legal source can use it as clean money.

So I suddenly thought of something... how about plastic bag laundering?

When we buy hawker food for take-away, we tend to get the food wrapped in either paper or plastic, and then there is an additional plastic bag to carry it in. This outer plastic bag sometimes looks totally clean, except that we are a little doubtful about its complete cleanliness because it came from a place where oil traces are common, etc. Usually I use these bags for rubbish so that it would be thrown out soon enough. But once in a while, I use it to put something that I give to other people, assuming that they would throw it away after that.

So my thought is, what if they don't? The plastic bag looks completely clean after all, so what if they keep it as a "clean" plastic bag, and later use it to pass something back to me, something completely "clean" and non-oily? Would it become plastic bag laundering, where the exact same plastic bag, which I had doubts about its complete cleanliness before, suddenly become a "definitely clean" plastic bag in my eyes?

Just some trivial thoughts, nothing earth-shattering here :P

Thoughts on "I Remember You"

I just finished watching I Remember You. Its English title is Hello Monster, but the literal title is I Remember You, and after watching it, I feel that I Remember You is a more appropriate title. There is also a Wikipedia article about it, which contains spoilers (as usual, which is why I usually avoid Wikipedia until I have finished watching shows).

Anyway I am really happy with this drama, and I don't even know where to begin describing it. (In the end this turned out to be a really rambling post, so I'm not sure whether it's worth reading unless if you have also watched the drama and want to share thoughts.) First of all, I will definitely be giving spoilers, so you'll have to stop reading right now if you don't want spoilers.

The characters were really good. There were a number of regular characters, and I feel that each of them were developed pretty well.

The story is about Lee Hyeon and Cha Ji An (played by Jang Na Ra! This is the first time I've seen her since I watched My Love Patzzi with the other Malaysians when I was back in Angoulême. Okay, I'm not really a fan actually, despite the exclamation mark.) They grew up in the same neighburhood when they were young, and Cha Ji An's father had been killed by Lee Joon Young when he escaped from prison and subsequently killed Lee Hyeon's father. However Cha Ji An's father's corpse was not found, and everyone thought that he had been an accomplice of Lee Joon Young.

Lee Hyeon had a younger brother Min, and Min somehow got into Lee Joon Young's car when he was running away seeing their father being attacked. Lee Joon Young then brought Min up, and Min ended up becoming a killer similar to Lee Joon Young.

All this was not told to us in the beginning, but is revealed bit by bit as the story unfolds. At the beginning, we only see Lee Hyeon being summoned back to Korea (he was a professor in America) by an e-mail. He didn't even know/remember Cha Ji An (although Cha Ji An knew him), and he met Cha Ji An and the rest of her police detective team at a crime scene.

Then they went on to introduce the medical examiner Lee Joon Ho and lawyer Jung, who was defending a murder suspect in the beginning, so he was regarded as the enemy. As it turned out, Lawyer Jung was the grown-up Min, and the medical examiner was Lee Joon Young, making them very important characters indeed. Both are very intelligent characters, which made them really get along with Lee Hyeon (if you don't count the underlying tension of hidden identity).

A large part of story had everyone (well, the main characters, basically, because these were the smart ones who had figured out who was who) sidestepping each other and acting like they didn't know these two's real identity, while still acting like they knew, which was really interesting to watch.

I especially liked a scene where Lawyer Jung (I will call him this because in the whole drama most people refer to him as such) had been wounded and was in hospital, and the medical examiner, who was now living next door to Lee Hyeon's childhood home, said to Lee Hyeon: "While you were away, I took good care of your trees (with a pointed look at Lawyer Jung). Don't you see that your trees have grown up well despite you not being here?" To which Lee Hyeon replied, "I will not thank you for doing something that I did not ask you to do. But now that I am back, I will look after my trees (with a pointed look at Lawyer Jung) myself." That subtle and yet not-so-subtle reference to taking care of Min...

Then after they left, there was Min smiling to himself, a small but really happy smile, which he does whenever his brother does something caring for him. Min was the star of the show here as an actor (this seems to be the show where Park Bo Gum was discovered as a great actor; he won awards for best supporting role). His facial expression does not have any big changes at all (very different from the young Min who has big smiles all the time), there are only small changes to show his thoughts/feelings. At the beginning, before Lawyer Jung was revealed as Min, he had thoughtful looks and enigmatic smiles when things happened. After his identity was revealed to the audience, we could then see him smile happily (but still a very small smile) when Lee Hyeon asked him to have a meal together, and look sad or angry when he thinks of his brother abandoning him as a child, or not looking for him as they grew up. He was angry with his brother, but still wished to have his brother there with him and caring for him.

As the story goes, Lee Hyeon never looked for his brother because his adoptive mother, who was the Planning Officer of the detective team, had told him that she had looked everywhere and that his brother was most definitely dead. However, later it was revealed that his adoptive mother, who was a lower-ranking police officer at the time of Lee Joon Young's escape, had actually inadvertently helped Lee Joon Young to escape. This was found out by the police chief who hushed it up to protect the police's reputation, and also shifted the suspicion of aiding Lee Joon Young to Cha Ji An's father, who was a simple prison guard. (drama much? :P )

I didn't like the two lead characters that much actually. They were too rude and bickery (I'm guessing that's not a real word, but it gets my meaning across well). Although, as the characters developed, they did show some of their good side so I guess I don't dislike them that much.

The members of Cha Ji An's police team are worth mentioning too.

Senior Son (Son sunbae, played by Min Sung Wook, whom I won't remember the name of, but I've seen him so many times in supporting roles and he never fails to deliver comic relief even while being a serious enough character that I am quite a fan now) is a grumpy senior detective who dislikes  the rude Lee Hyeon at first glance.

There is one point where someone wants to get revenge on Lee Hyeon, and Lee Hyeon figures out that the criminal wants to kill someone dearest to him. His first concern was for Cha Ji An (this is after Cha Ji An confesses to him but he still hasn't said a word about liking her back), and he calls her immediately, saying "be careful because that person is targeting 'my cherished person'". But the criminal goes after his brother Min instead, and that is how Lawyer Jung ended up in the hospital (the scene about "taking care of trees" above). Then Lee Hyeon (the very intelligent professor/criminal profiler) gives a show of stupidity (twice!) in the police station. One time, the detectives were trying to track the criminal's phone after he got away. The criminal had called Lee Hyeon to tell him to come and watch his brother die, so they were narrowing down the phone numbers based on who had made a call from that area at around that time. As they mention the number of possibilities they had, Lee Hyeon suddenly calls out "Idiot!" in his usual rude manner, making all of them yell at him what they did wrong, then he says that the idiot is himself and that he had the criminal's phone number. I guess getting your dearest one in a life-and-death situation makes you go stupid. :P Then the other time, he was summarizing up the situation and he said, "They were going after someone closest to me, so I first thought it was Cha Ji An", then everyone stared at him incredulously because there was no sign he was close to Cha Ji An, and he tried to save the situation by saying, "You see, because I don't know a lot of people in Korea, I just know you guys, and...", then he points to each of them and says he gives them 15 points out of 100, then when he reaches Senior Son, he pauses and then says 3 points (to which Senior Son retorts, "You have 0 points from me!" lol). Then he says Cha Ji An is "15 plus alpha". lol Scientists! After that there is some interruption and he leaves, leaving the Team Leader to muse, "Then in the end Lawyer Jung was attacked, so he must be higher than '15 plus alpha'?" Hahaha...

Okay, all that came to mind because of Senior Son.

Next team member, Team Leader, since I just mentioned him. I really like the Team Leader. His surname is Kang, but they usually don't use his name and just call him Team Leader, so I'll do the same. At the beginning of the first episode, the team was actually expecting to meet their new Team Leader that day, but they had to go out to the crime scene before he arrived. So when they met Lee Hyeon at the crime scene, they thought he was their new Team Leader. When the actual Team Leader arrived and they realized that he wasn't, they gave chase expecting him to be the criminal, and the Team Leader was more or less ignored in the chaos. So the Team Leader's character was made out the be the bumbling outsider who is not really welcomed or respected by the team.

The actor is Lee Chun Hee, and I found his face highly familiar. But when I checked what he had acted in, I could find nothing that I had watched. However, his name sounded familiar too, and after a while I realized that I had seen him as a guest on Running Man a number of times. He was a great provider of comic relief on Running Man too!

I don't usually get impressed by the bumbling comical characters, but the Team Leader is different. He started off as the awkward outsider: he would put on airs and give speeches (like motivational talk) to his team, and his team would largely ignore him (thinking about other stuff, hiding yawns...). But in retrospect maybe that's how he felt a Team Leader should be, motivating his team.

The first time he showed some admirable trait was when Cha Ji An was facing disciplinary action (let's not go into the details why). He worked very hard to protect her from being transferred to another department, saying "I will protect my team", but unfortunately he failed, and he felt really bad about that. (of course she got transferred back later) So I was thinking, okay, he's not such a bad guy.

But after that he showed more and more detective-like behaviour, and at the same time we can see that he actually cares about all his team members. Once he was stabbed and lost consciousness as Cha Ji An was abducted (this is a highly-packed drama), and when he woke up in the hospital after surgery, he was awfully upset that he couldn't remember what he had heard just as he drifted into unconsciousness. Because the abductors had mentioned their destination. He was pleading with the doctors to give him some medicine to regain that memory, and banging his head... (and in the end he did remember it! Although they wouldn't let him be the hero and Lee Hyeon had to have deduced that already... though Lee Hyeon's was an educated guess while the Team Leader confirmed it)

He is actually the son of the police chief, and when he found out that his father was to blame for making Cha Ji An's father as a criminal, he became really upset and felt really guilty about it too, so much so that he "ran away from home" (he was living with his father; that part was funny because he asked Senior Son to come and drink with him, then cried on Senior Son's shoulder, then asked him whether he had a place for him to stay). When his father said, "Who knew his daughter would join the police?", as being sorry for what he had done, Team Leader said something like "What has that got to do with it?", which I interpret as saying "So it's wrong to frame someone just because their daughter joins the police? And it's okay to frame someone whose child does not join the police?" So yeah, that impressed me, and with all that added up, I really like the Team Leader.

The next team member is Choi Eun Bok. Quite early on, Lee Hyeon asked an old friend (outside of these main characters) to run background checks on all the police team members, Lawyer Jung, and the medical examiner. He found out that Eun Bok was the only one who was adopted. Since Eun Bok was not Min, I was wondering whether the adoption was a red herring for the audience, but in the end it turned out not to be so. Eun Bok was actually a child "rescued" by Lee Joon Yeong (more on that later) and he was so indebted to Lee Joon Yeong that he helped him kill someone. (I shall not write any details on that, otherwise I will end up writing practically the whole story here) After he was arrested for that, he initally did not want to give Lee Joon Yeong away, but after his team members each visited him in prison asking him how he was, and apologizing for not knowing about his past (he was abused by his parents and Lee Joon Young killed them, therefore "rescuing" him from his hell), and NOT asking him to help them, he softened and agreed to testify against Lee Joon Young. I have a slight suspicion that Lee Hyeon may have been the one who had told them to do that. Because when he was talking to his brother, he said that Eun Bok was refusing to help, "but that may change soon". It seems like he knew what was going to happen...

The last team member is Min Seung Joo, the most junior member. This guy is the least important, I don't even remember his name and got it from asianwiki :P He was like the opposite of Senior Son. While Senior Son hated Lee Hyeon for his rudeness, Seung Joo was the one who was most easily impressed by Lee Hyeon's intelligence, and when he first helped the team with their cases, Seung Joo was the one who announced, "I really like this guy!" each time. When Lee Hyeon reappeared at the end (don't know whether I will write about him going missing), he was also the first one to step up to him to give him a hug (and the only one, actually... for the others it was Lee Hyeon who stepped up to them).

As you can see, there are just so many parts of the drama that I like. The funny, the intelligent repartee, the touching, the thoughtful...

Then there was Lee Joon Young's character development. Actually the most interesting was his and Min's characters. Lee Joon Young was abused as a child, and he went on to kill parents who abused their children. In his mind, he was saving the children, and he actually approached them to be friends (before or after killing their parents, I'm not sure). This was not known until the end of the story. In the beginning Lee Joon Young was just a murderer and no one knew why he killed.

Lee Hyeon, on the other hand, was a strange expressionless child. That led his father to suspect that he was a monster in the making, especially when he found the young Hyeon burying a dead animal in the garden. Hyeon told his father that the animal was already dead when he found it, but it seems that his father may not have believed him. His father was a professor (probably in psychology or something like that, I can't remember exactly) interviewing the arrested Lee Joon Young. Hyeon's father was trying to find out what happened in Lee Joon Young's childhood that made him a murderer.

When the young Lee Hyeon met Lee Joon Young, Lee Joon Young persuaded him to trade secrets. Lee Hyeon told him, "My father thinks I'm the monster. But actually my brother Min is." So probably the dead animal that Lee Hyeon was burying had been killed by Min?

They show us that Lee Joon Young actually took Min away so that Lee Hyeon could have a "normal" life, unburdened by a psychopatic younger brother. Then Min, brought up by Lee Joon Young, and thinking that his brother had abandoned him, grew up into a murderer who killed those who abandoned someone.

So there was the underlying question in Lee Hyeon: Would Min have grew up to be a murderer if he had not been taken away by Lee Joon Young? After all, Hyeon had noticed that Min was the "monster" when he was a child. (Hyeon gave a vehement "no" to that question while talking to himself, and as dramas would have it, Min was listening.)

As for Lee Joon Young's "rescuing" children from their abusive parents, they showed us that while there are children like Eun Bok who grew up to feel indebted to Lee Joon Young, there are also others who hate him for killing their parents. One child (now already grown-up) who was found by the police and shown the photo of medical examiner Lee Joon Ho (aka Lee Joon Yeong) ended up going to look for the medical examiner and tried to kill him.

As a "friend" of Lee Joon Yeong told him (I don't know whether we can call that person a friend, but she is not a foe, and they talk quite comfortably together, so let's leave it at that), "When you try to be considerate to someone, you create problems." Ouch! This was before the "rescued" child came to kill Lee Joon Young, so that attempted murder probably drove the point home for Lee Joon Young. He actually managed to turn the odds against his attacker, and grabbed the knife that his attacker was using, but instead of killing him, he just walked away, seemingly stunned at what had happened.

At one point Lawyer Jung (aka Min) was living with Lee Joon Young (he calls him "uncle" in private since he brought him up) after he got out of hospital. Then Lee Hyeon comes over and asks his brother to go and live with him instead. He tells Lawyer Jung to decide, and after Lawyer Jung leaves with Lee Hyeon, Lee Joon Young muses to himself, "Is this how it's like to be hated?"

So they really try to show us that Lee Joon Young kills (or abducts, in Min's case) to be nice to certain people that he likes. He might kill people that he dislikes, or to reach a goal (like escaping prison), but it seems that he does not kill for fun, like some murderers do. At one time when Cha Ji An confronted him, he said to her, "But I liked you. I never wanted to kill you."

As for Min/Lawyer Jung, in one of the detective team's cases, there was a family who had abandoned an adopted child. It was around that time that Lee Hyeon figured out that Lawyer Jung was his brother and his reason for killing. Lawyer Jung was all set to kill the family, and Lee Hyeon deduced it from something the lawyer had said earlier, so he went to his house to stop him. But Lawyer Jung came home without having killed the family. Lee Hyeon was all anxious and grabbing his hand to check for any marks on it. That was the first confrontation between them as brothers, and it was awfully dramatic, but again, let's skip the details. In the end, Lawyer Jung said, "Today I just didn't feel like it." I do wonder whether it's the presence of his brother in his life now that made him not feel like it...

On that same day, Lee Hyeon told him brother, "Promise me, if you ever kill anyone again, it has to be me." This is because the underlying reason (according to psychological study) for Min killing all those people was that he wanted to kill his brother who had abandoned him. Lawyer Jung thought back on this several times later, and after he found out that Lee Joon Young had lied to him about his brother abandoning him, he said to Lee Joon Young, "I think that if I ever kill again, it will be you." At the end, he actually went to Lee Joon Young to kill him, telling him, "I told you the last one would be you."

I am not sure what Lawyer Jung planned to do if he managed to kill Lee Joon Young. Cha Ji An had earlier told him (when Lee Hyeon was not around) that he should confess to his crimes and do his time, so that it would lift a burden off his brother. She told him that Lee Hyeon would never give him up, but it would be very hard for Lee Hyeon if Lawyer Jung decided to hide his crimes. At that time, Lawyer Jung asked (in a childlike manner), "It's all in the past, what's wrong if we cover it up?"

There are really moments where Lawyer Jung displays a very scary outlook, not unlike the young Lee Joon Young. Then there are times when he looks like any other person, just like a little child who thinks the world of his brother.

Lawyer Jung's expressions fluctuate a lot all throughout the show... I kept wondering which side he would turn to in the end. Whether he would help his brother fight Lee Joon Young, whether he would sacrifice his own life for his brother, or what else. I also thought he might leave (disappear) with Lee Joon Young to take the burden off his brother, but after he tried to kill Lee Joon Young, I wonder whether he was planning to stay or to disappear alone after that... I sort of think it was probably the latter, because could he face his brother after killing someone else? (not that he ever promised his brother anything) 

However Lee Joon Young seems to still care for both Lee Hyeon and his brother. He actually proposed to Lee Hyeon that the three of them disappear together, though it was of course rejected by Lee Hyeon. And when Lawyer Jung didn't manage to kill him (in the struggle, the poor Lawyer Jung got stabbed again, exactly the same way as the first time that landed him in hospital), instead of killing Lawyer Jung, he gets him nursed back to health, and then gives him a new identity (official documents), with the choice of whether to accept it or not. The logic behind it (as voiced by the thoughts of Lawyer Jung) is that he could either keep his current identity as Lee Hyeon's brother and pay for his past crimes, or take the new identity offered by Lee Joon Young and start over anew.

In the end we see Lawyer Jung leaving the hospital (or was it just a sick room?) without the envelope containing the documents. So we can expect that he wants to remain Lee Hyeon's brother. However that is the last time we see him, so there's a lot that is open to interpretation.

And also, on why I Remember You is a more appropriate title:
1. Lee Hyeon intially did not remember Cha Ji An. Until he saw a photo of her young self (they met when they were children, after all).
2. Lawyer Jung was very disappointed that his brother did not remember him (or more like could not recognize him). Lee Hyeon doesn't go around talking about his brother since they were separated such a long time ago, so to those that he had just met, they wouldn't even know that he had a brother. From an outsider's point of view (like Lawyer Jung's point of view), it could easily be seen as Lee Hyeon not knowing that he had a brother.
3. Lee Joon Young (yes, the bad guy) was also very pleased when he found out that Lee Hyeon remembered meeting him as a child.

Finally, I think I have jotted down everything I wanted. This drama is a gem, I definitely wouldn't mind rewatching it one day.
