Uma Segunda Chance (2020)

Heavy Watch

you can guess from the title and the description of the kdrama that this will be a really hard watch. so much crying and heartbreak, you know how heartbreaking it can get when a kdrama involves a kid and a mother daughter relationship..

i started this couple of months ago but couldn’t finish because of how heavy everything was. every episode would have atleast 1 character cry in there and at some point it got a little boring and overbearing because it seemed to just circle in the same area which was grief and guilt. i understand that’s what the whole purpose of the show was but 1 hour 16 episodes ? yeah it is a bit too much..

towards the end the last couple of episodes were hard for me to finish because thats when you could tell that this is all just gonna be people crying and yelling at each other and each character slowly finding out that yuri is indeed gonna end up dying again, so at some point i didn’t even feel sad for the character because i’m like ‘alright we already went through this with this character…’ BUT… throughout all of that i must admit the last episode TUGGED on my heart.

i was honestly not expecting for yuri to actually end up dying in the end, i thought this kdrama was going to take the direction of being cliche and making her stay but it didn’t!

i’m not going to say i was happy with it because i actually felt sad that yuri couldn’t stay in the end, but also felt satisfied at the same time because that ending was the most ‘realistic’ and good for the show. i did shed a tear when she was saying goodbye to her daughter and the ending where they showed the dad and the step mother together kinda made me a little upset but it is for the best…

on a side note, the child actress reminded me so much of lee know from stray kids when he was a kid..am i the only one ?!

I could not give this a 10 rating as I wanted to, for one I didn't like how the ending ended! The storyline is what I did like but not the ending. Kim Tae Hee was excellent in this drama; I mean outstanding. This is my first time watching her act. I hope to see her in more dramas. At first, I thought she was the same actress that played the mermaid with Lee Min Ho in "The Legend of the Blue Sea". She is not but there is a similarity between the two actresses. Rain is my favorite singer/actor so I wanted to see his better half act. I was impressed.

I think it would be extremely hard for someone to lose a loved one and for them to come back just to say goodbye to those that didn't get that goodbye. I know I wouldn't want to go through the 2nd death of someone you love.

Since the 1 st epiode I knew what the ending would be but since I like my fair share of melodrama , I watched it . What really hooked me to this drama was the ACTING , definitely the story is good but the way the actors portayed the characters was flawless. They brought every character to life and made us empathize with them .Other than Lee Kyu hyung I wasn't a fan of any other actor but they all did a great job and carved a special place in my heart . Not just the main leads but every other single character was beautiful . Every person had their story and with those stories we learned so much about life , about death ,about love and loss , about guilt , grief and every emotion which makes us a human.
The grief was so poignant in the story , every single episode was so sad yet so heart warming . It told us about the harsh reality of death and fate and how we should accept the death and cherish all the good moments and store them in our memories and let go off the past.
In today's world where we all are running away from life and emotions , this drama truly makes us understand about the importance of our life - how our life impacts our family and our friends and how we need to get off the past to move forward and for ourself and for our loved ones?
Talking about the story , it did got a bit slow in certain episodes, I really wanted ganghwa to tell min jyeong about Yuri earlier , also I wanted to see all the other character's story a bit more and learn about their closure , how they bid good bye to their families . Nonetheless every drama has some flaws.
The ost's were amazing specially - In the night : Park jae Jung ?and Time like a shining star: Jimin park ?.
I loved Yuri the most , she's one of my favorie drama characters and she'll always be in my heart ?

Excellent story with amazing message

I'll just simply keep this review short.

This show is amazing. It had everything from comedy to romance to sad scenes. The actors in this show were amazing, especially the female lead and the other ghosts, and there were numerous episodes where I cried.

I simply loved this show because it was so good even if you didn't want to follow the story of her trying to get her life back. Each episode had a story itself I felt as if that entire episode could make an entirely different show, while at the same time it was still clearly part of this show.

However, the reason I rated this lower than a 10 is the ending. It felt so rushed. Others will preach the entire show for being just a great message, and they are not wrong. I too feel this show had a great message, but what separates me from others is I do not feel like kdramas should be realistic. That's why I hated this show, because I felt it was so realistic. It was an ending that put a sour taste in my mouth.

This is definitely not a show for somebody who expects a good ending for the characters. The show was great, and is probably unconditionally an excellent show for anybody to watch, it's just.. in the same boat as "Mr. Queen" for those who know.

This show could be rewatched numerous times for those who truly do appreciate the message. There is no lack of plot, story, etc. in this show. It was practically perfect.

this drama for people who love sad and meaningful dramas that will make you cry from the start to the end with some good laugh in between but will also give you big love energy and trust in people because every character is good character like what beautiful world is this?!! when you just meet good people on your life .. Yuri life was short but she meet amazing people.. life always short you will always have something to regret about that's why i love this drama show that in the end you nee to get over your regret for the better.

i loved how every character is selfless from yuri to ganghwa and to everyone surprise the new wife, how beautiful Minjung character this change the image of step mom and make us want her to have happy ending and how they focus on the feeling of the wife that take on responsibility to fix a broken house and really love this family and try to hug their pain and how Yuri love her for that... and that what i love the most about the drama they showed everyone view in a good way.

"Whether you’re alive or dead, life is always about parting. You have to say goodbye to meet again.” this drama is about accepting good bye and i love it healing take time but we all need to accept it in the end

acting was amazing let's tell you that's Kim Tae Hee best role honestly before this drama i saw that she only pretty face but she showed amazing acting in this drama... Lee Kyu Hyung what should i say? even amazing not enough for him every time he cry i cry , Jo Gang Hwa character was the most heart breaking character i follow in long time and kyuhyung made me feel him and believe in him.

music wasn't so strong i don't remember important ost.
over all it was really good drama for those who love soft drama and ready to cry

Makes you reflect on life and love one's.

I'm not usually in my feelings but this one was a tearjerker... the main character "Yu Ri" is the mother ghost that basically has a second chance and throughout her journey in each episode teaches you life lessons which made me teary eyed or drop a few tears.

I didn't want to spoil anything for anybody so...................................................................................

I just finished watching this drama, and one thing i can say... its a very touching story. It was beautifully well-written and thought-of drama. It's korean dramas like this one that will make you say "ahh, this is why korean dramas are very well-loved not only in Asia but all over the world". There are a lot of genius and witty korean scriptwriters and directors who creates out of this world scripts and storyline for viewers. That is why kdrama fans like us can't help but fall in love with their unique style of story telling.

This story tells us about pure love, friendship and family and obviously about an unconditional love between a mother and daughter. It tells us about acceptance, regret, sacrifice and the heartache of losing someone you love. It will make us realize and reflect on what we consider the most important in life, that is our family and friends. And that we should live each day with no regrets coz we will never know what tomorrow will bring.

With the flow of the story itself, the momentum was always there, from the beginning to the end. There are dramas that only the first half is interesting and loses touch in the middle part, but in here, there was never a dull moment, maybe because each characters has their own funny side well blended with a witty script on hand. And also, aside from the main storyline, there were bits and pieces of other ghosts with own stories to tell. Each having different kinds of problems when they were still alive and how they resolved it.
As always, kim tae hee is an A+ actress. I cried whenever she cried and i smiled whenever she smiled. Also, with a very strong acting prowess is Lee Kyu Hyung. He successfully portrayed his part well. I also cried whenever he cried and i can clearly feel the pain and sorrow in his eyes in some episodes. I actually cried bucket of tears in the whole drama. By the way, Lee Kyu Hyung was also good in Doctor John.
Plus, the scenery in the drama is to die for... it was a spring season so most of the background especially the last few episodes, were amazingly beautiful. With beautiful and talented actress as kim tae hee and beautiful spring background, what can possibly go wrong?
Oh by the way, inspite my very good review of the drama, you may be wondering why i did not give it a perfect 10 but only 9.5? The other .5 is for the ending. Eventhough it was a beautiful ending, you know how each viewers has their own preference of how they want it to end. Mine might not be the same as the scriptwriter, nevertheless, i still think that this drama deserves a standing ovation.

If you plan to watch this drama make sure you are brave enough and make sure to get ready with your tissues. This drama makes a rollercoaster ride of emotions they will make you laugh and then cry later on himuon kang buang ani mukatawa ka ug taman unya muhilak nasad ka. Makahilak ka ky grabe ka dulot sa heart ang mga scenes... A big clap² to the cast because they portray it very well esp c Gang Hwa grabe jud akong hagulhul basta xa na ang muhilak ambot ngano. I am not sad with the ending I am just happy because they all find their rightful place mas nangibabaw jud ang Mother's love. This drama has a powerful message, to appreciate life and the people around you before its too late.

Touching show where the acting is the highlight

I love shows by Lee Kyu Hyung. I don't get is why this actor is so talented but has only acted mostly in guest or support roles. He's such a versatile actor - character actor, romantic lead, crime and mystery, comic, tragedy, etc. He's not idol material but he still cuts a dashing figure. He definitely deserves a show where he's the main lead, and this show hasn't failed to disappoint.

I also love Go Bo Gyeol who is a way under-rated actress. She come across as fragile and looks very young but she is anything but. She too has been relegated to support roles as villain or the jealous girlfriend but she is capable of so much depth, as this step mom role shows. The conflicting emotions she feels as a step mom who wants to do right by everyone can't be easy but she pulls it off.

In terms of plot, the entire series was good. Many episodes made me cry as it reminds us to cherish those we love as we never know when and if we'll see them again. However, the last 2 to 3 episodes just dragged things out. This is another case of bulking up episodes to make it to 16. I'm so glad cable TV came along and Korean drama series were cut down to between 8 to 12. That would have been a good outcome here. Hence my rating dropped from 8.5 to 8.

In short - definitely give this a watch if you like the actors or if you want a meaningful show about family.

Hi Bye, Mama! é um dorama sul-coreano produzido pela emissora tvN, contém 16 episódios com 1 hora de duração cada e está disponível na Netflix com o título traduzido para Uma Segunda Chance. Dirigido pelo experiente Yoo Je Won, que tem outros dramas de sucesso no streaming e da mesma roteirista de Go Back Couple, Kwon Hye Joo.

Yu Ri conhece o médico Jo Kang Hwa ainda na faculdade e se apaixonam à primeira vista, já entregando no primeiro episódio uma visão bem ampla sobre o casal, que logo se casam e descobrem que vão ser pais. Alguns meses depois, numa saída para o trabalho, a futura mãe é atropelada, socorrida, mas não sobrevive. No entanto, sua bebê é salva, deixando um pai solteiro como responsável por ela. Completamente desesperado, Jo Kang Hwa se vê como pai solteiro da bebê, porém, não consegue se perdoar pelo que não conseguiu realizar como médico no dia do acidente. Mas o que desconhece é que sua amada esposa está ao seu lado como fantasma, acompanhando tudo, visto que não conseguiu ir para o próximo plano.

Após cinco anos, Cha Yu Ri ainda não entende porque perdeu a chance de viver feliz com a sua família, ser mãe da sua linda Seo Woo e ainda ver seu marido casando de novo. E é em um dia de revolta completa à Deus, que ela consegue ser vista pelos humanos e não entende porque recebeu essa nova chance, mas com a ajuda de uma xamã que tenta fazer os fantasmas da casa funerária voltarem para seu devido lugar, é que nossa protagonista vai ter 49 dias para retomar seu lugar.

O conceito de ter esse tempo determinado para conseguir algo em dramas de fantasia não é novo, aliás, é algo muito comum dentro da cultura budista, onde eles entendem que a pessoa plana entre a vida e a morte. Por isso, Yu Ri não é nem fantasma e nem humana. E o drama deixa isso muito leve quando outros fantasmas da trama mesmo sendo "humana" ainda conseguem vê-la e a perseguem loucamente, pois também precisam encontrar um sentido para conseguirem se despedir do que os mantêm preso à Terra. Cada história desses outros personagens é tão bonita como a da própria Yu Ri, deu um peso significativo trazendo à tona o arrependimento de não ter dado valor à vida e aqueles que amavam enquanto estavam vivos.

Citação: "Sua vida não é somente sua."

De forma alguma, Hi Bye, Mama é um drama sobre morte e fantasmas, mas sim sobre o amor de mãe. Não temos apenas a Yu Ri como mãe, mas também precisamos lembrar que a própria protagonista tem uma mãe que sofreu com a sua morte, e que agora a Seo Woo tem uma nova mãe. E preciso destacar que a rivalidade feminina nessa drama é inexistente. Min Jung é uma mãe tão boa para Seo Woo que desconstroí todo o conceito de madrasta, o que diversas vezes me levou às lágrimas, tamanho era o amor e cuidado dela não apenas com a filha, mas também com o marido.

Yu Ri, Hyun Jung e Min Jung formam um time maravilhoso. Por mais que as duas primeiras sejam amigas de longa data, é palpável a saudade que uma faz na vida da outra, e quando adicionam a Min Jung, por conta da sua personalidade quieta e do que está passando atualmente. É uma amizade que cresce gradativamente, mas que vai criando asas e juntas ficam imbatíveis.

Em contrapartida, temos Gang Hwa sendo um marido cheio de defeitos e em processo de luto. Um traço marcante no roteiro da Kwon Hye Joo, que fez algo parecido em Go Back Couple. Aparentemente, ela não gosta de homens perfeitos e egocêntricos, mas sim, mostrar o lado masculino mais vulnerável. Contudo, talvez esse traço irrite quem assista e não o torne um personagem admirável, mas é impossível não aplaudir o talento do ator Lee Kyu Hyung que mostrou cenas com emoções complexas e dolorosas muito bem interpretadas.

Por mais que o enredo tenha esse tópico fantástico e irrealista de vida após a morte, ele também é capaz de nos fazer refletir qual seria nossa reação estando no lugar de cada personagem da trama e também sobre nossas próprias ações enquanto vivos e o modo como lidamos com nossos familiares. E quando é possível entender o motivo da segunda chance da Yu Ri, tudo entra em outra perspectiva, mostrando a verdadeira beleza apesar do realismo mágico dentro da história.

É uma série que apesar das fortes emoções, também é cheio de alívio cômico. Então, podem ficar calmos, pois não é para chorar em todos os episódios. É para pessoas que amam um bom drama familiar, romance e aquele toque sobrenatural levinho.

Simple family drama

quite surprised to hear my favorite song hoefully sky -jung eunji

A warm hearted family genre story, quite simple with pretty good acting

not too boring as they ended the episode with a tense scene

the story is simple, but the story at the back sometimes seems not in line with the beginning,,, when they are said seo woo can see yuri earlier than when yuri realized it, but at the beginning of the story does not seem like that,,,

sometimes the story is a bit absurd because it could be like their child is forgotten ,,when they have a problem, and must go somewhere, and suddenly the child is already at home, and it's also strange if Yuri can apply as a kitchen assistant with a glass arts graduate background but uses someone else's name,,,


every episode has a section telling the story with flashbacks but it seems like until the end the story is still hollow and incomplete,,, like what year Minjeong and Gang Hwa got married? I thought it would be explained but there was no further explanation

Really like the scene of Yuri, Minjeong, and Hyeon Jeon, unfortunately not too many, and was impressed to the end that Hyeon Jeom was not familiar with Minjeong2


the ending and goodbye are not too good in my opinion, the time seems too sudden, like it hasn't been 21 days ,,,, if you say sad ending is actually not, because the one who has to be together is still together,,
It would be better if they were honest from the start for her friends ,husband and for minjeong
