  • Hi Bye, Mama!

    1. Hi Bye, Mama!

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    this ending can be considered bad or good, but it was heartbreaking and bittersweet nonetheless.

    Chinese Drama - 2016, 15 episodes

    this drama has bad endings in many different, awful ways. First, the drama doesn't have an official end. Before they could finish, the chinese government banned the show and even BANNED the actors from being seen together. Theres a video you can even see online of the actors on stage and they get ripped away from standing beside each other. Because of this, the drama has a cliffhanger. A frustrating one that doesnt end in the couples favor, but Ill leave it there because I dont want to spoil this amazing drama. 

    However, there IS a novel you can read that was carried on after the dramas ending, if youd like to see how the stories ends.
