After finishing I cannot hug you, I came across this drama and I was really happy to start it. I didn't know anything about it, the title and the promotional photos have convinced me to watch at (and the fact that the last drama that I watched was like the opposite to this one)
Well, I have watched a few dramas in a year and I have to tell you, I haven't seen a drama like this one before. Not only that the storyline is really unique and mesmerizing, but the actors were really professional. In my opinion, the storyline of a drama can be amazing if the actors know nothing about acting, but this is seriously not the case. The chemistry between the main leads was amazing, the way the screenwriters have decided to tell the story is something I haven't seen in a long time. Not only that they showed us what happened before the big crime on Christmas night, but they made every characters story count. They didn't go over details and leave the viewers in the dark. They decided to answer all of our questions and this is one of the reasons I love this drama.
There wasn't a cliffhanger at the end of the final episode. There wasn't a sour ending. There was a sweet-happy-ending that I have been missing. When was the last time that a drama had a pleasing beautiful ending? A long long long time ago.
Anyway, my favorite thing about this drama was that they showed how Yoon Hee Jae was thinking. They showed us how a psychopath's thinking is. They showed us how the victims' families have survived. They have showed us a story which was close to reality.
This drama is not about a candy-cotton couple. This drama is about a real love story. A love that survived.
If you are looking for a really entertaining and mysterious drama, please watch Come and hug me. You're not going to regret it.

This drama is interesting for a theme but lack of details. The plot is well made but slow paced. It consistent most of the time. The thing that i regret is the detail of lead's parents death. The murder of lead's parent isn't well described and lack of details. It makes me unable to comprehend the story fully. The portion of the show is laid on romance story between leads
The acting of the casts is good. The other things are also good.
The last thing that i want to say. It's a drama with heavy romance but fortunately it isn't clingy. That's the rarest thing i've seen from romance dramas

O cara apanhava do pai, viu sua mãe fugir junto da irmã mais nova por causa de seu pai, seu pai era uma p!@# de um serialkiller seu pai matou os pais da namorado dele(nem vou falar do irmão dele). Apesar de todas as dificuldades ele ainda queria ser DIFERENTE do seu pai, foi ser policial, tentar ajudar os cidadãos e meio que arrumar um jeito de diminuir a culpa que caiu sobre ele (MESMO ELE NAO TENDO CULPA DE NADA). Mas mesmo se tornando tenente, policial, detetive a opinião publica e o cidadão coreano ODIOU ele, ignorou todo o esforço que ele teve para provar ser uma pessoa melhor apenas por causa do ditado "filho de peixe, peixinho é". FAMILIA??????????????????? Pode ser que a cultura coreana seja diferente da nossa mas isso, meu, NÃO FAZ SENTIDO.Entretanto não é só isso, Na Moo sempre foi calado, introvertido, calmo, MAS RAPAZIADA O ROTEIRISTA/DIRETOR faz acontecerem que não era pra acontecer só pra ter um ponto a mais na historia, não faz sentido uma pessoa assim ter um momento totalmente contrario a sua personalidade e SORRIR DE ORELHA A ORELHA, JUSTAMENTE PARA UM HOMEM MAIS VELHO(REPRESENTANDO UMA FIGURA PATERNA) ENQUANTO O PAI MALUCO OBSERVA TUDO, S E M S E N T I D O. O que são esses momentos que ele SURTA e começa a ser semelhante com o pai, sendo que em NENHUM MOMENTO ele fez algo parecido como tortura psicologia ou ameaça. Simplesmente ignoraram a personalidade dele e usaram de qualquer jeito pra seguir a trama.
Nem vou falar do dialogo/relacionando da So Jin com o Hyun Moo, ela queria atuar, mas não falaram pra ela se ela tinha que ficar brava com ele, se ela deveria chorar, se ela deveria bater, e no final saiu isso.
Sei que não sou diretor ou roteirista, mas pra mim ficou faltando.
E fico com dó da Nak Won, não tem o que reclamar, mesmo com os pais assassinados ela ainda confortou o Na Moo, ele teve sucesso quando cresceu. Então como os coreano gostam de ditados vai um ai " ATÉ NO LIXÃO NASCE FLOR " .

Only for people who can digest slow tragic sad stories!
The younger version of both main leads were excellent and definitely deserves a shout out! The story was dragged on, there were a lot of extra unnecessary scenes, specially the constantly replaying memories and flashbacks.Perhaps it's my own personal preference, but tragedy + melodrama in my opinion is a really bad combo. Since the outcome will most likely be 70% of the whole show involving a lot of sad and crying moments, that's what this is!
In simple terms, you can easily watch the whole series in 2x Speed and comfortably watch it without missing anything, that's how slow the whole direction was done.

You will love everybody in this series except for that stupid writer and his psychopath dad but again when you see a love story like this, it does not matter anymore but only thing that can happen is you finding yourself falling head over heals for the main leads.
What are you waiting for jus freaking watch it and fall in love.....

Left me with a sense of indifference
I was expecting to love this drama, I like the main leads and I love the premise of the story plus everyone seems to praise this show and the main leads chemistry, however I ended up just being indifferent to it all, which really sucks. When you hate a show at least you have that strong emotion of annoyance or whatever towards the show, indifference is worse because it just makes you not care about it.(I watched the version divided into 16 episodes and not 32)
I really enjoyed the beginning, the first 5 episodes in particular were extremely good and I was really shocked that I could enjoy a show that much even when the two main leads had barely no interactions at all. In general I really enjoyed what took place in 2006 and 2015, I liked the characters andI liked the relationships.
However the first and probably main problem that I had with the show is the main couple. I know people loved their relationship but I simply wasn’t invested in it at all, we get a little glimpse of them starting to like each other when they were younger (and even then we didn’t get too much of them actually falling for each other) and then in 2018 they were already in love (in like?) with each other, we didn’t get to see them falling in love again, we didn’t get to see them rediscover each other after having spent 12 years apart, we didn’t get to see them fall in love with each other again regardless of how different they might be from their 16 year old selves. This is the same problem that I had with Tale of the nine tailed, where, because they were in love before, they must be in love now too. While it’s true that my favourite part of kdramas is the getting to know each other and falling in love, the getting together stages, I can enjoy shows where they are already together, for example I loved Flower of evil, I just simply didn’t enjoy the way their relationship was developed in the show, there’s no particular reason why, I simply didn’t get involved or attached to their relationship.
That’s not to say that there weren’t any good moments or nice scenes between them, I just simply didn’t care because I wasn’t invested in their relationship: they weren't a cute butterfly in the stomach kind of couple, they weren’t a badass power couple, they weren’t a hot couple and honestly they weren’t melodramatic enough to be a heartbreaking, soul crushing, tear jerking couple.
Regarding the “masterful plot” that people talk about: I thought it was boring, I’m sorry. There wasn’t any mystery or anything really that kept me hooked, things just happened and I went along with it. I never really felt the tension or suspense or anything really.
Here’s a list of some of the things that I enjoyed the most:
Dojin and his mum relationship
Dojin and hi sister relationship
Dojin and his his brother relationship
Hyunmoo and his mother relationship
Hyunmoo and his sister relationship
Hyunmoo story
Kiyong acting
Joonho acting
Kiyong in a police uniform
That scene during Dojin graduation

masterpiece seris
Wow, I just finished it and my heart is still on speed 200.I came to the series following the talented actor Jang Ki-Yong, although it has been 6 years since the series came out, and it was followed by other high-quality series at an international level, and it is still a masterpiece, with a perfect casting of the entire cast (from the young to the adults), and the awards she won will also testify to that. No chapter is superfluous, the storyline is maintained with a level of tension. I must point out that the series has very violent and cruel parts, at the same time it also has love, healing and recovery, great chemistry between the actors (not only between the main characters but between parents and children).
The soundtrack is wonderful and fits the plot wonderfully

Overall: Don't recommend it unless you're into serial killer + don't mind rewatching the first episode flashback multiple times in the same episode throughout every episode. Lastly, the episodes were too short, there's no need for this show to be 32 episodes. Could have been done in 12-16 episodes with better storytelling.

The mature kdrama romance-thriller you've been looking for
Let me make it clear that I am NOT your average kdrama viewer for the following reasons:1. I FAST FORWARD A LOT because I have little patience for scene fillers where 20+ seconds is spent with the actor(s) gazing wistfully at the distance. I need action to happen FAST...
2. I am always looking for MATURE, STRONG LEADS especially where the female leads are concerned... and
3. I do not watch what everyone else is watching simply because I think I'm looking for different stories: MORE SUBSTANCE, LESS CRINGE. (I really disliked Her Private Life, couldn't stand the FL in Something in the Rain, and for that reason, I will never watch CLOY), and lastly,
4. I think that kdramas take too long to begin and then rush to end -- I mean, hello, what the hell kind of ending was that in Cheese in the Trap??!
Having said that, if you are similar to me, and you like watching kdramas with romance AND suspense, then
WATCH THIS DRAMA NOW.
It's a 16-episode NOT 32 episode story that is solidly written and executed. Enough time is given to the flashbacks and present day so I never felt confused. The actors are so well-cast, they transform into the characters , so much so that I found myself getting more and more invested in them as the story went on. Aside from the ML being exceptional, Heo Joon Ho nailed it as the psychopath; every scene he was in crackled with electricity, as did his accomplice, played by Hong Seung Bum. The FL was strong and compassionate, certainly someone I could root for.
The pace of the story is terrific, and the ending is tied up neatly. I am a chronic kdrama-dropper, but not with this story. I hope i could find more stories like this one.
