In this touching story, Gureum the Parrot mirrors every word he hears, regardless of whether it is kind or harsh. He embodies the innocence and transparency found in children and animals, reflecting the immense impact that a world built from words can have. Through Gureum’s reflections, we see how words can possess both tremendous destructive power and surpassing life-giving force. 『Hello, My Love!』 weaves a narrative about the miracles that can occur when someone is addressed with love, illustrated through Gureum’s journey from mistreatment to liberation by the love of ‘Grandma’. The most profound gift we receive from this story is the power of a loving gaze upon others and the transformative world that opens up before our eyes.
