Source - Tumblr - This review goes well with my thoughts
The reviewer has said:
" The lead pair's tragic and beautiful storyline: One thing I've learned after watching 'Come and Hug Me' is that I love me some angsty romance with a traumatic backstory (though I figured that out after loving 'Just Between Lover' (which is one of my favourite kdramas a well just like the reviewer here). Na Moo and Nak Won are childhood lovers, and continue to be drawn to one another due to their shared pain and unmistakable chemistry. They both have PTSD because of Na Moo's serial killer father and his activities. There is a LOT of high intensity scgazing and tearful reunions. These two make the perfect OTP as Children AND Adults (the casting is immpeccable!), and seeing them together often brought tears to my eyes. They have shared trauma, though from completely different sides of The Event, and that made their relationship even more special. I loved them and wanted to watch them heal: Top 5 OTP!!! Same thoughts here also 100% agree with this.

Fascinating Back Story and Storytelling Style: Nature Vs. Nurture -
The set up of Na Moo's family and the question of whether or not you are born monster or become one, is the backdrop of 'Come and Hug Me.' When Nak won's family is torn apart because her parents are murdered in front of her (this is not a spoiler if you watch the first couple episodes), the show slowly reveals bits and pieces of what's happened, mixed in with beautiful memories between the two leads. the Kdrama feels like a mysterious psychological thriller for half, and an intense romance for the other half.

Fleshed Out Characters: There are so many interesting characters in 'Come and Hug Me!' Each person has independent motives and agency, so you can't tell who is "bad" and who is "good" for quite a while. One of the ways to tell if a writer is doing their job, is if you re empathetic to flawed people, and you will be! People make choices, carry regrets and either work through those feelings, or shape their lives destructively because of them. No one is perfect (Except our Lovely Nak Won)."

This is one of the reviews I really liked and it went with my thoughts so well written and conveys the emotion that the drama is making you feel. I can go on and on about this drama however I'll stop there because even this box can't fill the thoughts I have about this drama. It is very close to my heart.???????????
