OMG hugely overrated >_<
it's full of sulk that made me definitely depressed
i can't deny it had a touchy moments but it provoked me several times
even it's fantasy it was about capability of God & angels things beyond the knowledge of human beings
the writer definitely disdain God many times in a very outrageous way
the plot was very weak, provoking, boring & full of gaps i felt it disparage my mind
2/10 just for the heartwarming moments
HATED so -_-

I honestly watched this drama because of Kim Bum and his abs, but sadly, Kim Bum didn't look that great with his long hair and skinny face, but he's still awesome as always.

Watching SBS's fantasy dramas like Secret Garden and 49 Days made me thought that Padam Padam was also an SBS drama. At first, I actually got absorbed, but as the story continues, nothing really new.

I usually watch super romantic dramas and never suspense or action dramas. I hated suspense and action dramas. Although this drama has those 3 genres and one them is romance, I liked this drama not because of the romance but because of the suspense (and a little bit of action).

I got absorbed because I really pitied the guy. And his son was handsome (and so is Kim Bum).

I wanted to cry a lot of times but tears won't just fall out of my eyes like it did when I watched Secret Garden and 49 Days. I did cry but not as much as I did when I watched the 2 dramas stated above.

Why hasn’t this drama been appreciated enough? Whyyy?

The first episode is rough and straight forward. (and a little unappealing)
The second one is soft on anther level. The characters show a different side. A deeper, more inner side.

The drama was clearly ahead of its time.
I have no words to describe this
But gahd this drama is goood!
ML actor is so good. Same goes for the rest of the cast. Well-rounded drama.

I’m so glad I got to know this drama.
It makes me want to smile and cry foolishly.
...No wonder, it turned out to be from one of my fav writers! And great director.

It's about an emotionally lost man with nothing ahead, but love for the people around him. A lanky demeanor, with soft insides. Hurt and wounded. It's about the people.

I have to add extra points for the music, the instrumentals added a nice touch.

This drama has indeed have that amazing and brilliant cast. Seeing Jung Woo Sung in a drama, is a rare opportunity for me, since I have only seen him in movies and of course He just grabs every little emotion I should feel in a certain character, particularly him having portrayed Kang Chil. I always have that kind of nudge in my heart seeing this on my watched list and of course one of the best dramas I've watched over the years. I really want to see this drama again and of course cry again and learn again from the characters.

I have put this show on hold for the longest time and finally I watched it. After the first episode it gets good and kim bum doesnt disappoint. Its a melodrama so theres alot of crying and dragging but overall it was a good show.kang chil was good but the only thing that bothered me in the whole show was the kissing scenes. Omg it was just a whole lot of disappointment. Its like placing two eggs together it was just bad like beginner bad. What is wrong with the director do the think the are playing for little kids aish seriously. He was awsome in "a moment to remember"
Ok enough of that good story line and good cast, the mum, kid and divorcee were awsome. I wish they would do more on the revenge. How can he be framed and locked for 16 years and when they find the real culprit we get no storyline after. So what happened to chang gul.......
Awsome music btw

Eu até gosto e acho bem promissor esse tipo de enredo dramático de um homem sendo acusado injustamente, que passou 16 anos na prisão, tentando reconstruir sua vida e limpar seu nome em meio ao preconceito social pelo seu passado, enquanto se apaixona sem saber pela sobrinha da vítima, uma mulher de classe social superior e filha do irmão da vítima. E, para fechar com chave de ouro, ao longo da história, a tampa do caixão: o protagonista descobre que tem câncer no fígado. Mas, em meio a esse cenário de conflito humano e social, o dorama tenta articular uma jornada de redenção, sofrimento, superação e uma pitada de investigação e fantasia, mas naufraga justamente por não saber lidar com as múltiplas camadas que propõe explorar.

A parte mais bem executada é, sem dúvida, o drama pessoal do protagonista. Sua condição de ex-condenado, o estigma que carrega, o desejo por dignidade e por um lugar no mundo após a prisão, o câncer no fígado e a vontade de viver pela sua família e pela mulher que ele ama são elementos que geram empatia real. A relação amorosa com a protagonista, ainda que marcada por diversos conflitos externos, como a resistência do pai dela, irmão da vítima, e as diferenças sociais gritantes, a relação com o amigo/anjo da guarda, com a mãe, o descobrimento de um suposto filho e suas interações, são momentos emocionalmente honestos e até tocantes. No entanto, a narrativa tropeça seriamente em dois eixos centrais: a investigação do crime e a camada sobrenatural que envolve o “anjo” e os “milagres”. A primeira, a trama investigativa que envolve o passado e os relacionados, que deveria ser o motor da reabilitação moral e judicial do protagonista, é tratada de forma descuidada, sem estrutura, sem tensão, com soluções simplistas e inverossímeis. Tudo o que envolve a tentativa de provar sua inocência soa artificial, mal conduzido, sem um real trabalho de desenvolvimento e narrativamente frágil.

Já o elemento fantasioso, centrado no personagem do “anjo da guarda”, é ainda mais problemático. Em vez de expandir o drama para uma dimensão simbólica ou espiritual, a fantasia surge como um artifício gratuito, que interfere na história sem nunca se justificar de maneira lógica ou metafórica. Os “milagres” acontecem, mas não dizem nada. São mecanismos sem peso temático e funcionam como atalhos que, em vez de enriquecer a narrativa, esvaziam sua seriedade e para piorar tudo é um confronto direto e ridículo ao Criador.

O desfecho também contribui para o desgaste. O dorama poderia ao menos se encerrar com um final mais honesto e trágico, abraçando de vez o tom dramático que se propôs. A morte do protagonista, por exemplo, teria sido mais coerente com sua trajetória e poderia ter deixado uma marca emocional real, mas o óbvio acontece. Eu não teria problema se esse elemento fosse bem trabalhado, mas é só uma escolha fácil e sem peso dramático. Em última instância, Padam Padam quer falar sobre fé, amor e redenção, mas entrega uma história desconjuntada, que mistura dor real com misticismo vazio e uma investigação rasa. Sua ambição temática é evidente, mas sua execução revela uma falta de profundidade nos demais elementos que compromete a história como um todo.

Dramas como The Innocent Man e 90 Days of Love são bem superiores. Ambos trabalham com menos camadas, mas exploram essas camadas com consistência e intensidade, e justamente por isso, atingem o que Padam Padam apenas promete.
