Come and Hug Me

I think this one is a tad overrated.

I love the beginning ( the young actors do a fantastic job as well) The story is very compelling and you want to see what happens in the present to the main couple.

The problem is the script, the dialogues repeat themselves over an over, I mean I literally lost count the amount of times the only conversation the main couple had was , are you okay? I am okay, let me know if you are not okay.... Im not sure what the writer was thinking.... The potential this story had....

Then the fact that the whole show is based on a continuous guilt trip situation, where every character is sorry for things they didn't do. I just don't know if this is actually a thing in South Korea but for me it doesn't make any sense so I felt very frustrated watching this at many times.

The acting is superb though. ( Seo Jeong-yeon was just amazing in this))

Such a bitter sweet story. Cried with Na mu literally. Everytime ge wanted to protect his love.. When he felt sorry cz he loves her.. When he tried his best to prove to be different from his father.. The acting of younger Na Mu and Nak Won was outstanding as well. It was a bit slow in the middle. There wasn't enough suspense and thriller but from psychological point of view, it succeeded.

It's SALVATION.. not a ill fated relationship.. Loved the ending

I went in expecting a tragic ending in this show. I really did. The way it started off and the flashbacks and then about his father I really expected a sad ending. But thankfully it had a happy ending and that made it worth watching. Loved the two main characters, especially the actors who portrayed them as teens. They all did very well. The actor who played his father did fantastic, like omg, he seriously creeped me out throughout the entire series! The flashbacks were a little much but bear with it, trust me it's worth it. I highly recommend this series.

Good plot, but far too many repeated shots of the past...

Let me get a few things straight right at the beginning:

• the acting is PHENOMENAL
• the storyline is EXCEPTIONAL
• it keeps you HOOKED from the very beginning

I removed one star because the final plot twist (if you go watch it you'll know what I mean) was foreseeable and nothing out of the ordinary for these types of shows.

Also, I gotta admit this show was a little more violent, psychotic and explicit than I expected and the romance part is overshadowed by all the drama and sadness. So if you're here for the romance (like I was at first) you could be disappointed. This show is more sad and depressing than happy go lucky. BUT it also makes you question a lot of things, like your own behavior and judgement on people for example. Just because you don't know what a person had to go through doesn't mean they didn't had to endure traumatizing things.

Conclusion: if you're okay with some darker vibes, crime content and horrible behavior by supposed humans, go watch this amazing drama!
