Great Momentum...Poetic Ending

I utterly respect the acting, production value, and behind-the-scenes work that made this series possible. I would have to say that starting with the first episode, I was enthralled by this show. Up to Episode 5, the momentum was really great, but Episodes 6-7 were a bit rough pacing-wise. With Episode 8, I was a bit puzzled by the developments, but it was poetic in the end. All I have to say is that our main character Kim Sum takes the initiative, which makes for a sort of anti-climactic ending. It wasn't a battle and glory type of ending, but it fits right with the theme of this show. It resembles real life, with people that have strange personalities, troubled pasts, and capabilities to perform acts that strain the boundaries of nuance. It seems she's accepted that and closed the storybook on her own accord, poetically ending what was started at the beginning of the show. This may sound like sophistry, but for those that watched the show, this is the best way for me to express my feelings about the show without giving away any specific details. For those that are hesitating, it's a tough watch, but I found it compelling in the end.

This was my first J-Drama, and this was honestly one of the most realistic, and just one of the best dramas I've ever watched. All aspects of this drama was done so well, and in the end. This tale was able to encapsulate you in for 6 episodes, which felt much longer. The scenes were very intense, and this drama touched on some heavy subjects. Truly, it was able to handle the topics of family hardships, mental abuse, and other heavy topics in such a mature and realistic way. Furthermore, the cast in this drama was incredible, as each character was able to truly encapsulate and portray their characters with so much emotion and heart. I found the acting to be incredible, and I was so drawn in. The story was also so well done, as it was able to progress naturally, with twists that I never thought were coming. It was something that I can never forget, even though its 6 episodes. This is seriously just an incredible drama, and I really recommend people to watch this.

Hi Bye Mama! is a drama that I found to be fine, an 8. It's a delicate and touching story about a mother wanting to see her daughter, and just revisiting old friends and families to say goodbye for 49 days. It touches on a wide variety of subjects, and overall, it was a fine drama to watch. It was not perfect however, so there are some obvious flaws I have with this drama.

- It can be a bit fuzzy, and has moments of being just absolutely unnecessary. There are also pockets of random stories of characters woven inside the drama, which may be considered good for the depth of characters. However. they just break up the already choppy continuation of the plot line of this drama, so I was kinda annoyed by this fact.

- Moving on, I found the crying scenes in this drama to be a bit excessive. It drowned out quite some time, and while it was sad at first. They kept pushing it, which I thought was a bit excessive.

- Finally, the timing and flow of events were spaced out in quite an uneven way. It just seemed to be very strangely spaced out, as I really didn't get why some events didn't come quicker, which is because of unnecessary filler moments that eat up the time. The ending was also predictable, which I get was kinda obvious. They should have at least outlined the last episode in a better manner, like with a more conclusive and satisfying epilogue.

- Overall, the acting of this cast was great. They gave solid performances, and I have no complaints. If anything, the crying scenes are a bit much, but that's all the qualms I have.

- The music, it was atmospheric and incredible. I loved it as the music blended with the scenes it was woven into. It was great, and I enjoy listening to it.

- All in all, Hi Bye Mama! is a show that I found to be good, but not great. It had plenty of flaws, but overall, it was still a fine show that I didn't regret watching. I wouldn't exactly say that I would personally re-watch this show, but I know that many would consider that a possibility. Hi Bye Mama! had an incredible cast, and the music was fine as well. I would say that for anyone who likes the genre of unresolved problems, returning from the dead, and revisiting friends and loved ones would love this show! I recommend this show to anyone interested, and wish you all to be safe!

Mama (2014), is a drama that is on the longer side for me, 24 episodes. I found it pleasant, and frustrating at the same time. It has elements that I enjoy, such as the acting, anticipation, and the music that plays at the right moments. Also, there are the bad elements, the overused characters that pop in here and there, and there are some that I just get annoyed by. To be honest, I am able to overlook these elements however, as I truly enjoyed this drama, and the leads were a definite plus. They did an incredible job, with acting that I found to be profound. It is honestly a family drama, and some cliches are here and there. I found it to be a good introduction for me into this genre, and I am excited for more.

In general, this is a drama that has its fans and detractors. Some will be able to overlook the glaring issues, while others will get sick and drop this show. In the end, its a show that is based on preference, and I honestly liked it. However, there were some elements that I would object to, but nonetheless, its a fine drama.

To me, Mother is one of the greatest dramas I've ever watched. It was a compelling show that attracted me from the beginning, and my attention only ended after the credits rolled for the last episode. It is a harmony of amazing acting, music, and a story that I found to be so touching. The characters were all so rich, and it was such a blast learning about all of them throughout this show. Their motivations, interests, and mannerisms were so well captured in this show that I understood everyone fairly well by the end of this show. The child actor was the best, as she displayed so much depth and emotions with her acting. Moving on, the story of this drama was able to utilize these characters in such a touching. It was able to weave all these characters into quite frankly an amazing story that intrigued me the whole way through. I was so touched by everyone in this show, and the amazing script helped to increase my appreciation. Finally, the music was so nice. I enjoyed listening to it, and it helped to set up scenes in this drama.

Overall, this is one of my most favorite dramas of all time. I will be obviously re-watching this masterpiece, and I hope you will give it a shot!
