Uma Segunda Chance (2020)

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

Okay

Oh look it's Kim Tae Hee that every other drama keep referencing her as the beauty standard which to this day I don't understand why they keep drawing parallels to her specifically. Anyway, when it comes to inevitable death in drama I mostly prefer stories that take the terminal illness route over the "49 days" scam. Terminal illness stories can bring more raw emotions meanwhile 49-days stories lack in that regard, mainly because their death is an unchangeable fact regardless if the people associated with them moved on/still in pain/still mourning/still have regrets or not.

It's still a "decent" drama, just like most of the other sad ones. They always work because we're silly little humans who like to sympathize. It's a lighter and more casual drama compared to others like it. Which is why there was less investment than usual in the characters and less focus on the characters that matter in general. This is clearly shown by how they attempted to prolong the drama, one example being the female lead started helping/observing other ghosts/spirits. Was that really needed? The lack of directional focus is its biggest problem. The concept of 49-days is a bit loose here, the concept itself seems to vague to the characters until it was told to them blatantly which is weird because isn't it part of Korean culture/tradition in funerals? Overall, not that good not that bad, just okay.

A really compelling story with solid take away lessons about good-byes, death, and relationship. The story telling is kept simple but so beautiful that every moment counts. I recommend this to everyone who wants to feel the remorse of those that’s left behind, who wants to know why cherishing every moment to the fullest and every person that you met is really important. And for those who want to understand that being kind is easy, it is shifting the mindset that is hard.

The ending, I should say is a really beautiful and realistic one. It never promises a happy go lucky ending since the beginning. It stays true and honest. A fantasy with a realistic take, how amazing and rare.

All of the casts’ are amazing and they have such an amazing chemistry!

What makes me rate this 1point short of the full star, is that we have different values on the concept of death. So at some moments, it felt overly romanticized.

Beautiful OST! The back sound was not really exceptional aside the OST, but it was befitting. Also, some scenes was so beautiful.

Masterful ...

What a lovely drama. I was not at all familiar with the FL or the ML, but I did recognize so many secondary characters. Yet, it was the actors who were new to me and who were the Main Leads who just blew me away in this drama. I just can't get over how unbelievably good they were.

This drama had me crying every episode. The reviews I've read suggest I'm not alone in this. The longing and emotional intensity was so real, so evocative that it demanded that level of engagement.

(This is me nitpicking, but I really wish the FL had chosen the fact that her daughter loved her step mother immensely as the reason why she couldn't continue living as Seo-Woo's mom. I appreciate the whole "she'll keep seeing ghosts" angle, but it pales in comparison to how much her daughter had grown to love her stepmother and how much she would have suffered if Yu-ri had chose to be selfish and stay. MINOR POINT though)

So glad I watched this. It was so nice to watch a drama without a physical antagonist force (other than the exorcist I suppose). Not an evil force to be found. Lovely.

I knew from the very first time this drama would be a tearful-kind of drama, so I kept on avoiding watching this drama so I wouldn’t cry (since I’m such a crybaby ^^) But since my mom couldn’t stop nagging about the drama, so I watched it together with her. AND YES, I CRIED MY EYES OUT :’(

I was able to hold in my tears on the first ten episodes, but couldn’t as soon as everybody knew Yu-ri was going to leave them again ㅠㅠ I’m bawling... This drama truly is inspiring and motivating, this drama taught me a lot of things: one, to never be selfish; two, to always cherish moments with your loved ones because you don’t know when would be the last time you see them; three, to always be grateful in life.

Their acting was spot on! The writers also did well, as well as the production team. Kudos to this wonderful and heartwarming drama. I’ll just pretend I didn’t see the negative feedbacks on this drama, because this drama was truly the most heartwarming, most inspiring, and most beautiful I’ve seen ❤️

9.5/10!⭐️

My friend actually recommended me this drama, and I thank them for it.

First of all, the story is just so touching and heartbreaking at the same time. I didn't expect to cry so much while watcjing it but there I was, crying at every episode. After a couple episodes, I learned my lesson and brought tissues with me because I just knew I was going to cry a river at some point.
Although the story was really good ad the plot was a great idea, I found myself losing interest in the last couple episodes, I have a feeling they could of maybe made it into a 12 episodes instead of 16.

Every character just gives off different vibes, and they're all so important. Min Jung ... Her character is so gloomy and grey, I felt a lot of pity for her. Also I just found out the child was played by a little boy ? Impressive !

I'm going to be honest, I didn't really pay attention to the music, sure sometimes it set the mood but it's honestly not the most important thing I want to review haha

As for the rewatch value, I personally DO NOT want to rewatch it, the heartbreak I felt while watching it was enough one time, two times is going to legitimately kill me.

Do not forget, this is my opinion, and mine only, you cannot judge me for it and please do not attack me !

Tears will be involved

I do not know if I'm in a part of my cycle that is making me emotional but actual tears started rolling down my cheeks from the halfway point of the drama (I'm not a crier while watching the drama btw)
From the very begining you know that this will not end with happiness. The story made me constantly think of the people I love and the thought of what would happen to us in this situation is really what got me.
I have to commend the actors especially to the ones who playes yuri, gwang ha, and minjeong. They really carried the show and made me root for each of them.
A major theme of the show is clearly motherhood and I really liked that it was Yuri's mother's wish that brought her back.
That being said there was a lot that I had to skip, the side stories drag a little bit and there's an overabundance of side characters that you really don't care for.
All in all I'm glad I watched it.

Hard-hitting! Emotional! Relatable!

Hi Bye, Mama! completely made me doubt human nature, from having regrets, greed to forgiveness. the annoying part of the story is that all the characters appear to be nice. they are all written nice that throughout the watch, I don't know who to side with. Which also made me doubt my beliefs and understanding. And also with the point taken, I realized a very good excellent thing on Hi Bye Mama, and it was being the main character of your own life. Love that the drama, characters, are well-written imposing that everyone's story is important.

One point is that it tackles a lot of stereotypes... in a very nice and acceptable way. Not all stepmoms are bad and they are also one's mothers as they can also love their children unconditionally, and about underdeveloped kids discriminated, and many more.

Realization hits hard when the title is Hi Bye Mama, knowing throughout the watch that it was supposed to mean with her daughter but in the finale... it was a message for her mother. That is so exceptional and I did not expect that to come. To quote this remarkable dialogue from ms midong.

"A woman who lost her husband is called a widow. A man who lost his wife is called a widower. A kid who lost his parents is called an orphan. But there's no word for a parent who lost their kid. Know why? It's because no word can describe it. There is no word in this world that can describe the excruciating pain" that is so hard-hitting and I remember this dialogue after realizing the other deeper meaning of the title, Hi Bye, Mama!

Overall i would def recommend watching this! as I know everyone can realize, can learn, a thing or two from how thoughtful the script, dialogues, and plots it brings
