“Goodbye”
leaving is hard, but it's harder to stay.he keeps showing you who he is, but you turn the other way.
you still have hope, but he's not going to change.
starting over is scary, but you have to be brave.
"Perhaps the most beautiful thing we can feel in our lives is telling someone we love that we love them and thanking someone whom we're grateful for. "

I cried in almost every episode…
There was no villain in this story, just life 👩👧This K-drama presented grief in so many forms—sometimes loud and overwhelming, other times quiet and hidden, carried silently as people go on with their day-to-day lives. It reminded me that grief is not always visible, but it lingers, shaping the way we love, move forward, and hold on.
What I appreciated most was how it gave us both perspectives: the one who left, and those who were left behind. Each had their own struggles, regrets, and unspoken feelings, yet all were connected by the same longing for peace.
At its heart, the story was never just about loss—it was about healing, closure, and acceptance. About how even in the deepest pain, life still finds a way to move, to breathe, to grow.
A tender reminder that loss isn’t the end of love—it’s proof that it existed, and that it will continue to shape us 🥺

Worth the emotional roller coaster
I remember watching the first episode of "Hi Bye, Mama" about three years ago, and after watching it, I knew I wasn’t going to continue with the series. It’s not because it was bad, on the contrary, the story and the acting were brilliant. However, it was so sad that I couldn't stop crying while watching that first episode. I realised it would make me cry every single time, so I decided to spare myself that pain.After all this time, I finally watched the series, and I was absolutely right; each episode made me cry several times. I felt so bad and was deeply affected by the emotional weight of the story. I still have a lingering feeling of not being able to come to terms with the story's ending.
To say this drama is brilliant doesn’t do it justice. The story is undeniably sad, no matter how you look at it, it’s heartbreaking for everyone involved: the mother, the stepmother, the child, the father, the friends, and the parents. It’s just so heavy and emotional, one of those stories that seems designed to tear you apart.
I don’t want to give away too many spoilers, but I highly recommend this story. Just be prepared to cry. I don’t think I’ve watched another drama that made me this sad in a while. It was hard to watch, but what a masterpiece it is!

this dráma IS very emotional
this story IS very sad ... this story is very sad. I even cried the part when she met her mother, it was very emotional ... the whole story I felt sorry for the main character ... it was very real that her husband started all over again. sniekyn inim thought it was selfish that he didn't think about nana, that's why I didn't have to him in this drama ..... I enjoyed her mother the most and she the story between the mother and the dead daughter, similar to Good Bad Mother, I like the family drama ... but this one was the saddest drama I've ever seen right from the first episode I had tears in the corner of my eye, a terrible drama you must watch it, it's definitely added to my favorites ... the female role was very balanced even after her departure, that's why I give her 10 / 10Was this review helpful to you?
Utter masterpiece
I feel numb. It is as though all the grief in the show is mine to dwell on. In a way it is. My soul has come to know and love all the characters. While watching I could think one thing through tears streaming down my face: we live then we die. It's the most tragic yet most sacred part of life. Through Cha Yu Ri, we see that. The preciseness of the world we live in, of the people we love.I will grieve this show for the upcoming years. I genuinely don't think anything can have such a strong impact as this. I sincerely hope your life is also altered.

I just loved it soo much.
This kdrama leaves a subtle feeling to the viewers- peace! It teaches us with so many life lessons and that is to be thankful for every circumstances we encounter and to see every obstacles as a lesson. It teaches us that life is only fleeting and that we need to write every pages beautifully without regrets! It teaches us to say “Goodbye” with a smile on our faces even when it tear us apart because it gives us peace which will help us move on.Overall, this Drama is a must watch - the moment I watched the very first episode I was so committed and invested to watch the rest non stop. Every ending of each episode just makes you want to know more and watch more of it. Which is fantastic. The writer did an outstanding job, the ending left a good feeling - at least to me. Even though I was literally sobbing, it was truly an amazing story.

My First KDrama and NO REGRETS!
It was a good emotional run watching this series. My first 'Korean Drama' because I wasn't really into this before, reading sub titles and all. BUTTT it woke me up and left me realizing what I am missing. It is that good!I am just pulled by the casts' superb acting. It felt like I know them personally and it did make me feel somewhat involved. (which I think is good) As the story goes, the laying down of the characters was so good, that you know each of them better.
You can tap on any characters easily and relate to them fast and effortless. I cried countless times if that counts lol.
I was drawn by how the actors appear to be so believable. The lines they throw and every tear drop was heartfelt. I even notice they cut it it quite sooner than I wanted. I wanted to cry more and I wished I had more time enduring that emotion but some scenes they just change suddenly lol.
I like the character of the mom/omma. Jeon Eun-Sook. Very relatable. I was thinking about my own mom the whole time.
It was her eyes that need not to tell more... I can replay it all in my mind over and over. Superb acting.
The casting was perfection. It felt like all the actors were really suited for the role they are portraying.
It has opened a new window for me to watch Korean Dramas after this... I really really really admire how this whole series was made. Congrats to the production! Really life changing and inspiring because it will surely leave you with thoughts, lessons, and deepened realizations. Thank you so much!!!

There are many Korean dramas which are not star driven but a tour de force of all performers and this is particularly true of this cast. This brings into focus the value of all relationships , familial, marital, friendship, work.....
My advice within this review is do NOT binge watch this show. It can take too long to recover from some individual episodes. The strength of the cast and script has resulted in scenes played with subtlety are still capable of packing a heavy punch. I highly recommend watching this drama but with someone so that the phone calls/discussions add to the experience. Stay safe all.

From the first seconds of the first episode you can already feel that it's going to be a rollercoaster of emotions.
They capture the relationship highlights beautifully making us believe we've been watching 10 episodes already. The story throughout the whole episode isn't dull or boring, far from it, you want it to go faster so you can see what's going to happen next. The last scenes (of episode one) were shot beautifully making you feel the emotions as if you were there. I'll even go ahead and rank this as a top 5 of my favorite first episodes ever.
If you're hoping to see a lot of action and a lot of commotion, don't- But if you are willing to see a beautifully shot drama with a storyline that pulls you in, start watching now. Let's hope the writers keep this up, as it can become a magnificent drama.

achei lindo a forma como se abordou o amor de mãe (tanto dos dois lados) e a lição de vida que é retratada.
por ser um dorama que tem isso de fantasma eu não estava com tantas expectativas que seria uma temática mais calma e melancólica, mas acabou que me surpreendeu. todos os episódios são comoventes, porém acho que o último foi realmente uma carga de emoção muito forte e que me deixou com uma vibe de tristeza.
só a ost que me decepcionou um pouco pq não me conectei, mas tirando isso o dorama é incrível e vale a pena assistir!!

3NUNCA VI UM DORAMA QUE FALASSE TANTO SOBRE AMOR (PAIS/FILHOS/AMIGOS/IRMÃOS)
Essa é uma história de AMOR sem "amor". Não espere um romance! Diferente dos doramas românticos, esse dorama é para te fazer refletir. Logo no início percebi que não teria como o final ser completamente feliz, não importa para quem eu torcesse eu ia sofrer no final. Explico:A Yu-ri tem uma história linda de amor com o protagonista, infelizmente ela morreu no parto da sua filha deixando seu marido, familiares e amigos em uma tristeza profunda. Após 5 anos seu viúvo resolveu com muita dificuldade seguir em frete e casar novamente com a Min-Jung, porém sua esposa falecida, o amor da sua vida volta a viver do nada.
Agora sua filha tem 2 mães e você telespectador, fica dividido entre qual das mães deve ter o final feliz com a filha e o marido, mas vai muito além disso. "Mas as duas não podem ser felizes separadamente?" então, aí que está o problema. A Yu-ri pode ficar apenas 45 dias na terra como humana, ela só poderá permanecer como humana e ter uma segunda chance de viver se ela voltar a ser casada com seu marido, e assumir o papel de mãe da sua filha.
Ou seja, para a Yu-ri viver ela PRECISA ser feliz com o marido e a filha, e para a Min-Jung ser feliz com o marido e a filha, a Yu-ri terá que voltar para o céu e sumir para sempre!
A Min-Jung (madrasta) é uma pessoa boa, embora seja séria e meio calada, então você quer que ela seja feliz, Porém a Yu-ri (biológica) é incrível, engraçada, divertida e você quer ser amigo dela de tão top que ela é. Aí como faz para decidir? Uma é um labrador e a outra um gato siamês, são muito diferentes mas são boas pessoas.
Há de fato um casal principal e um triângulo amoroso na série, mas você se esquece disso no meio da trama. Porque? Por que é ruim? Não, por que na vida não é só seu parceiro romântico que importa, tem seus filhos, pais, irmãos e amigos. A "história de amor" dessa dorama é realmente entre as duas mães e sua filha. Tem tanto amor nessa história, de pais e filhos, irmãos, amigos, essas coisas tomam uma proporção tão grande na história que você esquece do casal, não de uma forma ruim por que o roteirista errou, mas por que a gente fica tão divido tentando achar uma forma de todos serem felizes, que se esquece do casal principal.
Não tem vilões nessa história. É simplesmente o retrato da vida, de pessoas que morrem, que vivem, de decisões que tomamos que influenciam e mudam a vida das outras pessoas ao nosso redor. O dorama fala muito sobre perdas, arrependimentos e reflexões sobre a vida.
Por que 9,00 então? Simplesmente por que faltou um pouco mais de alívio cômico, acredito que em uma séria completa deve ter tanto o humor como a tristeza, que você precisa rir e chorar. Como não houve muito alívio cômico e essa história fala muito sobre perda, luto e morte, a gente fica meio pesado e senti falta desse "alívio" que a comédia traz. Não que não teve alívio cômico, teve! Mas como a série é muito pesada no sentido de morte, seria necessário uma dose mais pesada de alívio cômico também entende? Para balancear.
Assistam e chorem comigo, por que essa é uma história linda de "AMOR" em todos os sentidos e relacionamentos.

Je ne sais vraiment pas pourquoi j'ai regardé Hi, Bye Mama ! ... Ce drama etait la sur Netflix et m'attirait etrangement donc je me suis lancée. J'ai mangé ce drama en une journée tellement j'etait a fond. Je ne voulais pas m'arreter, je voulais que Yu-Ri soit heureuse avec sa fille, je voulais que tout finisses bien . J'ai achevé la transformation ultime en guimauve tellement j'ai pleuré.
Je pouvais plus m'arreter XD Meme les moments heureux avec sa fille me faisait pleurer, un vrai desastre !
L'histoire m'a vraiment aspirée pour ne me lacher qu'a la fin. Bien qu'elle puisse paraitre plutot longue j'etait trop avec les personnages pour le remarquer.
D'ailleur les personnages, parlons en ! Yu-Ri est definitivement un personnage coup de coeur. Des le premier episode je l'ai adorée, c'est un personnage si émouvant, si brisé et si fort qui ferait tout pour ceux qu'elle aime. J'etait tellement avec elle et esperait si fort une happy ending pour elle...
Honnetement je ne vais pas m'arreter sur tout les personnages tout simplement parce que je les ai tous aimé. Le drama a la capacité a te faire aimer tout les personnages sans exception c'est assez fou.
Je pense que je reverrais ce drama, mais quand je m'en serais remise parce que j'ai besoin de rire la, j'ai pleuré pour l'equivalent d'une année entiere la.
Pour conclure Hi Bye Mama c'est vraiment un drama emouvant, qui te plonge non pas avec des personnages mais des personnes. J'ai vraiment adoré ce drama et je pense qu'il me laissera des souvenirs tres forts. Je le conseille vraiment pour ceux qui aiment pleurer devant un drama emouvant
