Come and Hug Me (kdrama, 2018)
"Come and Hug Me" is a story about the tragic relationship between Nak Won and Na Moo. The two met as children, but fate wanted to destroy any chance of happiness for both of them, as Na Moo's father cruelly kills Nak Won's parents and even tries to kill her, but Na Moo protects her with her life at risk. The two grow apart, Nak Won changes her name and becomes an actress, she does this because she wants to find Na Moo and he is doing his best to stay hidden, being consumed by his guilt about his father. Eventually they reunite, but they still have to go through a lot to finally be happy.
The love between Nak Won and Na Moo is truly beautiful, it is a connection, a bond, they have become each other's salvation. Na Moo's only crime was loving Nak Won and having a monster for a father, he has always tried to redeem himself for what happened, even though it was not his fault. Na Moo couldn't be around Nak Won for fear of hurting her, of not deserving her, of making her suffer again… but he couldn't live without her, Nak Won is his paradise and the air he needs to breathe, but she is also a living reminder of what his father did, of all the evil he caused.
The scene of the final confrontation is very similar to what happens in the drama "I Hear Your Voice". Yoon Hui Jae lies to Na Moo that he killed Nak Won, thinking that this would make him freak out and finally become the monster that Yoon Hui Jae wanted so much, but Na Moo knew that even if Nak Won was dead (which we knew was not true), she didn't want him to become a murderer, not even to avenge her. Luckily, in the end they got their happy ending, there was closure to all that sadness and now it is possible for them to finally move on. Obviously the past will always be there, as will the memories of everything that happened, but that doesn't stop them from being happier in the future.
Jang Ki Yong is a spectacular actor, the way Na Moo's gaze let you know everything he was feeling is simply incredible. When he looked at Nak Won, he looked like a puppy dog and the total difference in his gaze when Yoon Hui Jae is involved, there is an intensity, a hatred in Na Moo, that was even scary at times.
In addition to the main characters, there are also secondary characters that captivate a lot of attention, one that I have to highlight Hyun Moo. Yes, he also did a lot of wrong things, but he is a character worthy of pity. Throughout his life, he only sought recognition from his father and discovered too late that there were other people around him who loved him, like his mother and brothers. The scene where Hyun Moo protects Ok Hee is great, I knew he wouldn't abandon her at that moment, when she never forgot him.
It's a drama I've always wanted to watch and it really is as amazing as I imagined, it's one of the best productions I've ever seen.
The story of Nak Won and Na Moo is marked by the tragedy that unites them, the two have loved each other since they were children, but there is a monster that always stands between them, preventing them from being happy. Their relationship is a work of art, you get so involved that it becomes a necessity to see that well-deserved happy ending.
This is the story of a tragic love that spans 12 years. When they were children, Yoon Na Moo and Gil Nak Won were each others first love. Th
