Hello, Me! (2021)

Dear future me, it’s okay if you didn’t turn out the way I wanted, because I’m still the one who loves and roots for you the most. – Bahn Ha-ni

Hello, Me! Synopsis: Miserable and unsuccessful, Ban Ha Ni, a single 37-year-old woman who is generally servile and timid, thinks she’s lost all her spark. Holding only a temporary position at her work, she’s fearful of being let go at any moment, and considering her current lack of security, she also does not want to remain single. She lives her life like that going about it day by day, until one day, her spunky younger self appears in front of her demanding change. Her 17-year-old version of herself travels from the past to meet her current self, and the 17-year-old Ha Ni is nothing like the current 37-year-old Ha Ni. Bright and optimistic, she’s the complete opposite of what Ha Ni is like today. (Source: MyDramaList)

K-DRAMA FEELS

It’s a good, heartfelt, and underrated drama. The series is quite refreshing despite recycling the old k-drama troupes/ cliches.

This drama isn’t perfect but it gives some messages which make us think about ourselves, our life, and the decision we made.

If you’re looking for a light, easy-going k-drama, this is for you. You’ll have a good time watching this series.

My Overall Rating – 8.0/10 (This drama is quite refreshing despite of its predictable story filled with cliches. The story wasn’t perfect but still it’s a fun and interesting journey.

INSPIRING K-DRAMA QUOTES FROM HELLO, ME!

• As you live life you’ll come across painful moments that you just can’t run away from. When that happens, close your eyes and count to three. When you open your eyes again, you’ll realize that you’ve become a little bit stronger.
• Human are scarier than ghosts. And money is scarier than humans. Ghosts don’t kill people, but you could die if you have no money.
• If you’re sorry, then apologize. If you fought, then reconcile. If you hurt someone, you can embrace them. I just don’t get it.
