Hi Bye Mama - a story about learning to let go. When faced with difficult decisions, there is no easy answer, no easy way. Slow plot but that’s exactly what makes this drama unlike the others. The agonizing wait of what is to come builds up as the main character makes her final decision.
“Perhaps the most beautiful thing we can feel in life is telling someone that we love them and thanking someone whom we’re thankful for. I realized it’s a great joy to give and that you end up feeling sorry if you always receive.”

Reply 1988 - part of the reply series, but this one emphasizes on the familial relationships between the characters which is an important aspect of this story. The ending will either satisfy you or disappoint you but you know what they say, can’t please everyone. PS this is how I fell in love with ryu junyeol ❤️

“A place that’s hard to enter and even harder to leave. You end up dying if you trust anyone. You’ll live if you remain alert and wary of those closest to you. It’s a place like that.”

Please, please, please have Mon’s and Ha-Na’s relationship become like an older sister, younger brother dynamic instead of going the romantic route. Because that will complete the found family dynamic
We have the mom who WILL go mama bear the MOMENT anyone even LOOKS at her babies funny
The dad who is doesn’t like showing emotions because he’s a Man, but also might have the biggest heart of them all
The rich eccentric Uncle who only shows up to flaunt his money around, be fabulous and extra, then leave
The cool older sister who is good at everything she does but emotionally distant
And the baby who everyone took one look at and was like “we’re adopting him. MUST PROTECC” and he responded by saying “I’m baby”
