The story was pretty much amazing, I loved how the writers decided to show a much darker side of teenage life and that they still made the story worth of watching. From the start, there was a lot of drama and mystery and a much more complicated love triangle than I've ever seen in a drama. After all, this drama didn't really have a love triangle, much more a complicated relation between every character.
In some parts, I did feel it was too much and that they tried to show too many things in too little episodes. I feel like they should have taken time and make things much more detailed, to show more information about certain characters.
The acting part, to me, all the actors looked professional and they really did their best at telling the story of their characters. Even through there were a lot of things I disliked, like Soo Ji's personality and the way the 3 friends tortured anyone who messed with Soo Ji. Or the fact that Kwon Si Hyun didn't have the courage to show his friends who he really was.
About the ending, I felt like they should have shown more, like they could have given a lot more details about what happened to them all, like they only showed what happened to Tae Hee and Soo Ji, in rest they didn't bother telling us what did SI Hyun or the others do during those 5 years.
After all, this drama is really worth watching and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for an interesting but a different drama.

This was the drama I was most excited about and I had high expectations and I can tell you that I wasn't disappointed. The story is original and the first episode starts pretty well. I really liked the opening and the structure of the episodes. I really love Lee Jong Suk and I knew that he's going to give everything in this role, and he did play amazing. I did like the other characters as well. It's true that there were few that I didn't really like, but the storyline and the way things were explained made me forget about the hate.
I really enjoyed watching every single episode, and the last ones were incredible. They kept me in suspense and I couldn't really tell what was going to happen. I did like the fact that they didn't give a big attention to the love triangle, the producer decided to focus on the friendship of the three 'dreamers'.
I can't really say bad things about this series, I mean, the things I didn't really like were essential and they made everything more interesting. If I would have to choose one thing that I hated about this drama, I would choose one of the suspects/criminals. *I am not going to tell the name of the one I hated the most, just because I don't want to give any spoilers.*
I seriously recommend watching this drama, not only because this is somehow a goodbye from Lee Jong Suk because he's enrolling in the army, but because the story and the characters are built up in a beautiful way that makes this drama stand out from the others.

IT WAS THE BEST DECISION I MADE!
I highly recommend watching this series, because the storyline is unique and it is not your usual drama. It has a lot of romantic moments, funny scenes and interesting, plot twisting ones as well. I really enjoyed that this drama is not childish like other chinese dramas. It sometimes reminded me of American series, because they approached themes like serious relationships, pregnancy, intimacy, periods and family problems.
The chemistry between the main leads in my opinion is just amazing. You can see that they are really comfortable with each other. Something else, that i really enjoyed was that they did not only focus on the main leads, but took time to tell the other characters' stories as well.
Besides this, the sound track is really amazing.
If you like dramas that have an interesting storyline and that expand the romantic relationship well, without making it childish and aboard themes that you can relate to, than this is for you!

Storyline: The storyline itself is pretty unique and I did like how it was showing the main female lead's feelings and thoughts. There were some flashbacks as well, something that made the whole story much more interesting and believable. I did like the fact that they were giving some attention to other characters story/past as well, it's true, Maewnam was in the middle of attention, but the others did have a story to tell as well. Something I didn't like was that they were trying to fit a longer story in 7 episodes. They could have made it a little bit longer by telling the story much more precisely and by developing the story a little bit more. Some episodes felt like they were rushed, they didn't stay enough at one important situation and they just started to talk about something else.
Acting: To me, this whole drama was new, not just the story but the actors as well *and the language. I was getting used to Korean and Chinese, but this was on a whole new level*. After all, I did like the acting, the actors did give 100% and everything looked great. There were a few things that I did dislike, few characters but that isn't the actors fault, it is somehow the writers. Anyway, even through that I did dislike some of them, their presence was important for the development of the story.
Ending: I did think that it was going to have a really sad ending, but in the last 20 minutes everything changed and took a 180 degrees turn. Did I like this? Somehow yes, somehow no. I mean, I did like the fact that I couldn't see what is going to happen, but...I don't know. I feel neutral about the ending.
After all, if you do want to watch a different drama and to get to know a whole new world, than I suggest you to watch this one. It is worth it, and it really shows how words can affect some people. YES! THIS IS THE THING I LOVE THE MOST ABOUT THIS DRAMA! They show you how some words can make a person's life miserable and how they can destroy someone's confidence.

First of all, the plot was really good. It all started in a different universe and with an interesting storyline, but it was kind of weird as well. I didn't really like that it started with telling the story of main character and than switched to the female leader. I mean, I was getting more and more into the story of the 17 years old boy and after like 3 minutes, it showed a doctor who is about to get in trouble with her boss.
Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the first episode and how it was structured, I just didn't really get the point of the beginning of the girl's story. It was kind of weird.
Still, the storyline is really good, even through there were some scenes that I've skipped over because they seemed to be boring and I didn't have the nerves to watch it.
If I start to think about it, there was one thing I did hate about this series. Yeon-Joo's father and his maniac fight with Kang Chul. Okay man, I understand that you hate him and you've got real problems, but still. He is the main reason that I didn't give this series 10 stars. I just don't get the point of all this kill-him-than heal him game.
Moving on to the actors and the way they've tried to tell the stories of the characters. I did like the way Kang Chul and Oh Yeon-Joo were presented, but about the rest of the characters, I have a mixed feeling. It's true, they did do an amazing job, I just think that some of them could have made a better job....
On the other hand, the Chemistry between Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo was really strong and I could see the affection between the two of them. The two of them did an amazing job and I think it has something new. This drama itself has something new and unseen.
After all, I did enjoy the most part of this drama and I think I'll re-watch it sometime in the future.

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.

First of all, the story is interesting and somehow special, since I haven't watched a drama like this one before. The effects were amazing as well, it did feel like I was watching a movie in the cinema. The actors played pretty well and the emotion were getting to me through the screen. Something I didn't like was that the first episode started weird, I didn't really get the point of the beginning, but after watching episode 10 I guess, or something like that, I realized why did the series start with a darker scene. If you don't like emotional dramas and sad moments, I do not recommend watching it. It does have a lot of funny moments and it is somehow a comedy, but some scenes are kind of dark and they can make you really emotional.
As a conclusion, I did enjoy this series and I will happily re-watch it in the future.

About the parts I didn't like.....
Not only that the beginning was sad and really emotional, but in most of the episodes, at least 4 times, the two main characters cried. I understand, it is a drama, it is normal for them to cry a lot, but it is not normal to cry a million times in each and one episode. Seriously now, after watching an episode, I felt so sad and depressed, it made me feel weird and I didn't like that. I usually watch K-dramas to feel somehow better, not to get depressed.
The story itself was kind of weird, it started with abuse and with emotional scenes that made me not want to continue watching. But I didn't give up, and I kept watching even through I hated it, I didn't want to start a new episode, I was searching for something to do instead of watching it.
I personally don't recommend watching this drama, only if you want to get upset and depressed.
