Reception A Hundred Memories received generally positive commentary for its emotional depth, character development, and nostalgic portrayal of 1980s Korea. Critics and reviewers highlighted the drama’s focus on lasting friendship particularly between the two female leads over traditional romantic rivalry, and appreciated its rich period atmosphere and thoughtful narrative beats.
Rather than portraying female rivalry, the drama underscores the deep bond between Young-rye and Jong-hee, which remains central even amid love interests and personal challenges.
