Come and Hug Me (2018)

This drama is a masterpiece! One of the best dramas of 2018 and I am not even kidding.
After finishing I cannot hug you, I came across this drama and I was really happy to start it. I didn't know anything about it, the title and the promotional photos have convinced me to watch at (and the fact that the last drama that I watched was like the opposite to this one)
Well, I have watched a few dramas in a year and I have to tell you, I haven't seen a drama like this one before. Not only that the storyline is really unique and mesmerizing, but the actors were really professional. In my opinion, the storyline of a drama can be amazing if the actors know nothing about acting, but this is seriously not the case. The chemistry between the main leads was amazing, the way the screenwriters have decided to tell the story is something I haven't seen in a long time. Not only that they showed us what happened before the big crime on Christmas night, but they made every characters story count. They didn't go over details and leave the viewers in the dark. They decided to answer all of our questions and this is one of the reasons I love this drama.
There wasn't a cliffhanger at the end of the final episode. There wasn't a sour ending. There was a sweet-happy-ending that I have been missing. When was the last time that a drama had a pleasing beautiful ending? A long long long time ago.
Anyway, my favorite thing about this drama was that they showed how Yoon Hee Jae was thinking. They showed us how a psychopath's thinking is. They showed us how the victims' families have survived. They have showed us a story which was close to reality.
This drama is not about a candy-cotton couple. This drama is about a real love story. A love that survived.
If you are looking for a really entertaining and mysterious drama, please watch Come and hug me. You're not going to regret it.

This drama is interesting for a theme but lack of details.
The plot is well made but slow paced. It consistent most of the time. The thing that i regret is the detail of lead's parents death. The murder of lead's parent isn't well described and lack of details. It makes me unable to comprehend the story fully. The portion of the show is laid on romance story between leads

The acting of the casts is good. The other things are also good.

The last thing that i want to say. It's a drama with heavy romance but fortunately it isn't clingy. That's the rarest thing i've seen from romance dramas

What a performance. First to the performances which were so amazing and heart poured. I believe not a lot of people could pull off this drama in many ways, both the cast and crew. This drams was carefully played out to relate to the needs of the audience. The story follows the aftermath of two people after a horrible experience that scarred them both and how they try and find love after all they have been through. I love the sense of innocence in which the director was trying to portray in this love story I believe it fell in place with the story line. I believe not all characters were needed but to my satisfaction they fit well. Big hand to the directing again I really loved the perspective in which this drama was shot from the main leads deserve all the love for this cause they really poured their hearts into this. Watch it!

I would definitely it watch it! You won’t be disappointed. The soundtrack, acting, and storyline! Oh it’s all amazing. Only flaws were it’s a bit repetitive (also lots of talking towards the end) and there’s A LOT of flashbacks but watching them helps you understand better. The beginning gave me really good vibes that I wish I got more of from the end as well. The main lead is so cute and their chemistry is amazing from the beginning. Make sure to prepare yourself though, lots of tears will be shed. The title is a bit misleading but the last episode makes up for it and helps you understand it better.

O cara apanhava do pai, viu sua mãe fugir junto da irmã mais nova por causa de seu pai, seu pai era uma p!@# de um serialkiller seu pai matou os pais da namorado dele(nem vou falar do irmão dele). Apesar de todas as dificuldades ele ainda queria ser DIFERENTE do seu pai, foi ser policial, tentar ajudar os cidadãos e meio que arrumar um jeito de diminuir a culpa que caiu sobre ele (MESMO ELE NAO TENDO CULPA DE NADA). Mas mesmo se tornando tenente, policial, detetive a opinião publica e o cidadão coreano ODIOU ele, ignorou todo o esforço que ele teve para provar ser uma pessoa melhor apenas por causa do ditado "filho de peixe, peixinho é". FAMILIA??????????????????? Pode ser que a cultura coreana seja diferente da nossa mas isso, meu, NÃO FAZ SENTIDO.

Entretanto não é só isso, Na Moo sempre foi calado, introvertido, calmo, MAS RAPAZIADA O ROTEIRISTA/DIRETOR faz acontecerem que não era pra acontecer só pra ter um ponto a mais na historia, não faz sentido uma pessoa assim ter um momento totalmente contrario a sua personalidade e SORRIR DE ORELHA A ORELHA, JUSTAMENTE PARA UM HOMEM MAIS VELHO(REPRESENTANDO UMA FIGURA PATERNA) ENQUANTO O PAI MALUCO OBSERVA TUDO, S E M S E N T I D O. O que são esses momentos que ele SURTA e começa a ser semelhante com o pai, sendo que em NENHUM MOMENTO ele fez algo parecido como tortura psicologia ou ameaça. Simplesmente ignoraram a personalidade dele e usaram de qualquer jeito pra seguir a trama.

Nem vou falar do dialogo/relacionando da So Jin com o Hyun Moo, ela queria atuar, mas não falaram pra ela se ela tinha que ficar brava com ele, se ela deveria chorar, se ela deveria bater, e no final saiu isso.

Sei que não sou diretor ou roteirista, mas pra mim ficou faltando.

E fico com dó da Nak Won, não tem o que reclamar, mesmo com os pais assassinados ela ainda confortou o Na Moo, ele teve sucesso quando cresceu. Então como os coreano gostam de ditados vai um ai " ATÉ NO LIXÃO NASCE FLOR " .

Only for people who can digest slow tragic sad stories!

The younger version of both main leads were excellent and definitely deserves a shout out! The story was dragged on, there were a lot of extra unnecessary scenes, specially the constantly replaying memories and flashbacks.

Perhaps it's my own personal preference, but tragedy + melodrama in my opinion is a really bad combo. Since the outcome will most likely be 70% of the whole show involving a lot of sad and crying moments, that's what this is!
In simple terms, you can easily watch the whole series in 2x Speed and comfortably watch it without missing anything, that's how slow the whole direction was done.

This is a good drama. It is not boaring and can watch to the end. Specially lead male doing a good job. He is perfect in all way. Good look , excellent acting skill and expressing feelings .. all are good. but unfortunately female lead is opposite to this . She is boaring, over acting and so dramatic. This is a crime drama going around with strong love of main leads. This plot is totally depend on their love story. This is a love at first sight and ML can do anything to protect FM type drama. Even can go against with family . But sad to say I didnt feel that much of bond, love and chemistry With main couple at all. It is the main reason I gave low rating for this drama . Otherwise wise ita good drama , good plot, talented supportive characters with hot main lead.

Kudos to the writer who came up with this drama, A significant of warm hug is just so precious, I know you might miss out on it thinking its a tragic love story but believe me its not your usual push and pull thing, The cast are just like their name Na moo (Tree) & Nak won(Paradise),no matter what befalls them they never grow apart maybe physically not emotionally but again she was always waiting for him to back without regrets.

You will love everybody in this series except for that stupid writer and his psychopath dad but again when you see a love story like this, it does not matter anymore but only thing that can happen is you finding yourself falling head over heals for the main leads.

What are you waiting for jus freaking watch it and fall in love.....

Left me with a sense of indifference

I was expecting to love this drama, I like the main leads and I love the premise of the story plus everyone seems to praise this show and the main leads chemistry, however I ended up just being indifferent to it all, which really sucks. When you hate a show at least you have that strong emotion of annoyance or whatever towards the show, indifference is worse because it just makes you not care about it.
(I watched the version divided into 16 episodes and not 32)
I really enjoyed the beginning, the first 5 episodes in particular were extremely good and I was really shocked that I could enjoy a show that much even when the two main leads had barely no interactions at all. In general I really enjoyed what took place in 2006 and 2015, I liked the characters andI liked the relationships.
However the first and probably main problem that I had with the show is the main couple. I know people loved their relationship but I simply wasn’t invested in it at all, we get a little glimpse of them starting to like each other when they were younger (and even then we didn’t get too much of them actually falling for each other) and then in 2018 they were already in love (in like?) with each other, we didn’t get to see them falling in love again, we didn’t get to see them rediscover each other after having spent 12 years apart, we didn’t get to see them fall in love with each other again regardless of how different they might be from their 16 year old selves. This is the same problem that I had with Tale of the nine tailed, where, because they were in love before, they must be in love now too. While it’s true that my favourite part of kdramas is the getting to know each other and falling in love, the getting together stages, I can enjoy shows where they are already together, for example I loved Flower of evil, I just simply didn’t enjoy the way their relationship was developed in the show, there’s no particular reason why, I simply didn’t get involved or attached to their relationship.
That’s not to say that there weren’t any good moments or nice scenes between them, I just simply didn’t care because I wasn’t invested in their relationship: they weren't a cute butterfly in the stomach kind of couple, they weren’t a badass power couple, they weren’t a hot couple and honestly they weren’t melodramatic enough to be a heartbreaking, soul crushing, tear jerking couple.
Regarding the “masterful plot” that people talk about: I thought it was boring, I’m sorry. There wasn’t any mystery or anything really that kept me hooked, things just happened and I went along with it. I never really felt the tension or suspense or anything really.
Here’s a list of some of the things that I enjoyed the most:
Dojin and his mum relationship
Dojin and hi sister relationship
Dojin and his his brother relationship
Hyunmoo and his mother relationship
Hyunmoo and his sister relationship
Hyunmoo story
Kiyong acting
Joonho acting
Kiyong in a police uniform
That scene during Dojin graduation

masterpiece seris

Wow, I just finished it and my heart is still on speed 200.
I came to the series following the talented actor Jang Ki-Yong, although it has been 6 years since the series came out, and it was followed by other high-quality series at an international level, and it is still a masterpiece, with a perfect casting of the entire cast (from the young to the adults), and the awards she won will also testify to that. No chapter is superfluous, the storyline is maintained with a level of tension. I must point out that the series has very violent and cruel parts, at the same time it also has love, healing and recovery, great chemistry between the actors (not only between the main characters but between parents and children).
The soundtrack is wonderful and fits the plot wonderfully

The rating for this show is completely off the mark. I had high expectations for the show partially because of the rating and partially from watching the first episode. However, it only took a few episodes for the constant replaying of particular scenes and extended pauses to make me want to fast forward. The suspense is lukewarm at best and the acting is probably the only thing going for it. The story was a nice change of pace from the typical rom-com but was carried out badly. The characters were very one-dimensional and predictable and there was little to no growth.
Overall: Don't recommend it unless you're into serial killer + don't mind rewatching the first episode flashback multiple times in the same episode throughout every episode. Lastly, the episodes were too short, there's no need for this show to be 32 episodes. Could have been done in 12-16 episodes with better storytelling.
