There is hope for your future

A few serious dramas and especially "Sky Castle" later, it was time for something fun and lighthearted. My choice was "Hello, Me!"

The fantasy element of enlightenment and redemption was cool. The experience of meeting your younger self would definitely be a wake up call. Ba Ha Ni's (Choi Kang Hee) life didn't turn out the way she hoped. Most of all, it's her career or lack of one. Tragic events happen but they're intertwined with fantasy elements. A younger version of herself from 20 years ago appears on her timeline. The result is a whirlwind of awkward, creative, and funny stuff.

But the story is mostly about self-discovery, growth, second chances, and time's influence on personal fulfillment. It also explores what-if scenarios and our choices in life. I can imagine what it would be like if my 17-year-old self appeared. I'd have a lot to say to my older self! LOL .

The acting in "Hello, Me!" is good. It's my first drama with Choi Kang Hee. She was compelling and relatable in the scenes and challenges she faced throughout the story. But I must say, Lee Re was my favorite as the younger Ba Ha Ni. The girl was just full of life, charisma, and cuteness. One of the highlights of the story was her character. She made the story more engaging and fun to watch. Personally, I think she was underutilized in "Castaway Diva".

The supporting cast was okay, with some interesting side stories. The Han Hyun character's story was cool because he had to deal with his own personal redemption just like Ba Ha Ni. But most of the supporting cast elements were interconnected to Ba Ha Nis' arch and past.

In general, I would say that "Hello, Me!" offers a familiar yet appealing twist on the concept of time travel. If you are looking for an entertaining, lighthearted comedy/drama that incorporates quirky moments and serious human emotions, this may be an appropriate choice for you. It is not recommended if you are looking for a hardcore story or a sappy romance. It was perfect for what I was in the mood for, so it was enjoyable for me.
