The premise

Cha Yu-ri died in an accident five years ago, leaving her husband Cho Gang-hwa to raise their daughter by himself. She becomes a ghost and watches over them until one fateful day she is brought back to life by the deities and told she can become human again if she returns to her place in 49 days. Though her husband has remarried, so she must decide between her or his happiness as she slowly re-integrates back into her old lifestyle.

Horror Vault's take

Five years after a fatal accident, a young mother lingers on as a ghost — unseen by the family she left behind but unable to let them go. When the spirit world offers her an impossible bargain, she finds herself caught between the life she lost and the new reality her loved ones have built without her. Hi Bye, Mama! blends supernatural fantasy with deeply human emotion, charting a journey of love, identity, and letting go. Expect tears as often as smiles in this Korean drama that wears its heart on its sleeve.
