In the drama Bad Memory Eraser, the dynamic between Kyung Joo Yeon (played by Jin Se Yoon) and Lee Goon (played by Kim Jae Joong) is complicated, to say the least. From their first meeting, where the tension was palpable, Kyung Joo Yeon seemed to have a knack for treating Lee Goon poorly, despite her profession as a psychiatrist. Here, we dive into seven notable moments where her behavior towards Lee Goon was downright rude, making us wonder if these two can ever find common ground.
A Rocky Start: First Impressions Gone Wrong

From the moment they met, it was clear that Kyung Joo Yeon had her reservations about Lee Goon. After assessing his psychological state, instead of offering supportive words, she chose to mock his personality. This initial harshness set the tone for their relationship, and unfortunately, it was only the beginning.
Cold Responses and Cutting Remarks

Kyung Joo Yeon’s cold demeanor didn’t improve in subsequent interactions. When Lee Goon tried to inform her about a simple wine stain on her face, her curt and cold response was as icy as it gets. And when he expressed concern over recurring pain in his hand, her dismissive attitude—blaming it on a somatic disorder—only added insult to injury.

One of the most shocking moments was when Kyung Joo Yeon brought up Lee Goon’s mental illness to insult him after he accidentally ran over her experimental subject. The sheer insensitivity displayed here makes you question how she balances her role as a psychiatrist with such a lack of empathy.
Rejection and Regret: A Tale of Unspoken Apologies

As if the previous interactions weren’t enough, Kyung Joo Yeon also coldly rejected Lee Goon’s feelings before he could even express them, claiming she already had a girlfriend. The cherry on top? Telling him to move on from his first love during their first dinner together because “first love doesn’t always come true.” Ouch.

Despite all these harsh moments, Kyung Joo Yeon does seem to regret her actions at times. But regret without apology only deepens the emotional distance between them. It leaves us wondering—can Lee Goon’s unwavering patience and kindness ever thaw her icy exterior? Or will Kyung Joo Yeon’s unresolved issues keep driving a wedge between them?
