Hi Bye, Mama!

The clever story line and superb acting provided us with an excellent first series. A woman dies in the process of protecting her unborn daughter. As a ghost for 5 years she sees how her loved ones over time deal with it in their own ways. Then the deities make her human again and she has a limited time to resolve the problems her haunting caused. There are also side stories of other ghosts and shamens which all make you think about what we leave behind when we are gone.

While not perfect in every aspect, it made me feel like no other series or movie ever made me feel. I couldn't sleep the night I watched the last episode. It made me think things differenetly. I'm actually in shock while writing this review, many hours later...

The funny thing is, I avoid watching this type of dramas. I thought it's a comedy because of the trailer I watched on Netflix. It's actually the opposite.

My main critisism is the length of the series. It could/should have ended in 10 episodes. That's the main reason I give only 8 stars. The acting is great and Kim Tae-hee is amazing.

Worth watching, but be prepared to cry...a lot

Edit: They shouldn't make a second season. It ended perfectly.

I like to watch a lot of tv shows from different countries & out of all of them, this one was different. Every single episode made me cry, a lot of the time til I got a headache I had cried that much. It isn't your typical romantic kdrama, it isn't overly 'mythical' or whatever either. The characters were cast so well, every emotion seems so genuine & the writers/production team did a wonderful job. It teaches you to really focus on today instead of worrying about tomorrow. Would highly recommend.

There are reviews that state the story drags. Maybe to some. But honestly, to me, it gave me time to appreciate the story in its entirety, get to know the characters and gave me different perspectives of life & death. The acting was phenomenal & really made me believe that they were actually experiencing this. I cried like a baby throughout the series. I love it. Looking forward to more projects from everyone.

I'm going to make this short but this show really traumatised me . Every single episode I cried . It really showed that not everyone gets a happy ending . Whenever I hear about it or see certain clips about this show , I literally feel soo hurt . It's nice to watch but if you like happy/ light funny shows then this is not the one to watch.
