A mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal, if a memo-writing function is activated during video play, assigns at least one part of a touchscreen as an area for handwriting inputs while displaying a video on the touchscreen and obtains a first play timing corresponding to a memo-start time; and if a memo-saving function is carried out, obtains a second play timing which corresponds to the memo-saving time and stores a memo generated based on handwriting inputs received through the handwriting input area in association with the video by reflecting at least one of the first and the second play timing.
