The Last Goodbye to Mama

I recently finished this drama with quite a few packets of tissues. This is to be expected as the title itself shows that this is a tearjerker drama. I didn't want to watch this at first because I thought this is too sad, but I'm glad that I did. This drama tells the story of real people and their problems that we face in life. The actors did a wonderful job of portraying the characters and their emotions. I thought the make up was excellent too, it follows the characters' age in the story. I almost believe that Dong Jie is at that age and that she's Xiao Jun's mother, despite only being 6 years older in real life :)

The story flows beautifully with the first half or so alternating between the past and the present. The background of the character was shown well and we get to see Bi Yun's struggles and strength in life as she goes through betrayals, divorce, being a single mother and lastly fighting her cancer until the end.

There is a romance element, but it's not the fantasy romance that makes you go "ga-ga" over the couple. It's not the main point of the story, but I like how the relationship develops (and ended) between Xiao Jun and Yu-ya and later with Yin Yi.

If you like family drama, I would recommend watching this.

I didn't put a high number for rewatch value, as this is not something that you want to go through watching again because it's so sad. But for first time watchers, it's a beautiful story about struggles, hopes and strength.

It makes you cry

I didn't watch the whole thing, I only saw a few episodes, but it's a very beautiful story. It's sad; the woman was strong and gave everything for her son. The son was with her. The ending is sad but beautiful; it makes you think.
