So terrible, don't waste your time
What a mess!! They ruined the original story. The storyline is awful, it is so confusing because it leaves so many leaks. And don't get me start on the ending. ARGG. Anyway, they took out the diversity that exists in the original Jane the Virgin (ex. lgbt characters), the culture and turned into a traditional boring "save me" lady story where the main Female Lead is just passive and helpless. They didn't show anything about the pregnancy and the dilemas present in it. So, take the advice from a person who wasted her time: don't even start this drama.Was this review helpful to you?

Such a HUGE disappointment (do not waist time with this one)
It has been a long time since I posted a review. I've watched quite a few different dramas that I felt I had to go and write a review about it as soon as I finished watching, but I never did. This time I was so disappointed and frustrated with the ending to be more exact that I couldn't hold myself and I had to write about what I feel. I can even accept the fact that the writing was not that good when being a screenplay writer is part of the story line. I can even accept that there were so many things that felt short, unfinished, not even necessary, but to not even satisfy with a good ending or at least a more normal ending, that I have a hard time to accept. I considered Raphael first male lead and Kang Jae the second male lead based on the synopsis.First, I have to say that the connection between the couples was not quite there, or for me was not equally the same. Oh Woo Ri and Lee Kang Jae even thought they were dating for so long I really didn't feel them as a couple. Maybe because I didn't like the male, I didn't warmed up to him. Oh Woo Ri and Raphael I felt them a little bit more and maybe just because the way the part was written for them but I know they were not quite perfect either. They were talking about a first kiss, he was talking about believing that faith has somebody better for him and because the way they filmed the moments between the two, with all the memories and the dreams they both had and the fact that she even reached to kiss him first which she did not do with Kang Jae, made me believe that she liked him more or at least she was feeling more attracted to him. The connection between her and Kang Jae felt awkward and cringe worthy at times, like the time they hold hands in the car and then they said they have to go pray because they held hands for too long. I mean what the heck.......... what is that? With the relation between her and Raphael I thought since the writers were pointing out that he didn't grow up with the type of family he always wanted, they will give him the family he was dreaming of by keeping him together with her. But to my disappointment it didn't happened.
Second thing that bothered me was the way I felt the two male leads were portrayed at times, and to me it looked like they were both stupid.
Third and not last thing that bothered me, but this really frustrated me was close to the end when they were both trying to win her back it was not fair that Raphael did not get one chance not even one chance to talk to her alone, but Kang Jae did have that chance at the memorial of his parents. After that the next day at her mother proposal party she had her mind made up. That was not correct if you want to give them both a fair chance. And the whole complications that are going to arise from having the baby with one guy and being married to another guy. Why do you have to complicate that baby's existence? I don't understand why? If you emphasize the fact that the female lead and Raphael had a first kiss and then a baby together, than why don't you keep that baby's parents together? Why put it in the movie, if you are going to throw the connection between them out the window? Even more, they also emphasized the connection that was building between FL and Raphael with all the times he was there to save her, and they still didn't end up together. I really do not see the point of having those scenes. I've seen dramas before where I wanted the FL to end up with the second male lead, but this was not one of them because of that baby which she should have had her both parents. If you have the pen in your hand and you write the ending, then why not keep families together? For the FL lead since she was a virgin, she would have been better paired with a man that had more experience and proof is the honeymoon moment when you have two virgins trying to do the grown ups thing and just ended up being another cringe worthy - I want to throw up moment. And don't even get me started on the stupid friendship between Kang Jae and Raphael. That was another moment that I felt I was going to throw up. Really? Really? Really writer or writers? I mean you have them fighting over FL like two roosters just to make them best friends? Really? Really? I am shocked that this script was even approved to make it to the screen. I can just keep going on, and on, and on but I'm too frustrated and the drama doesn't deserve my energy to continue writing.

The worst drama I have ever seen.
This is the worst drama I have ever watched.The ending was really the dumbest thing ever.
It looks like woori married Kang jae just to have s*x.
It portrayed that woori is a 30 year old and after 30 she did all types of things just to have s*x.
She is just a s**t.
She is so selfish and dumbest person ever.
She never thought of the baby.
But she kissed her father because of a f**king dream.
She did all sort of things to make Raphael feel for her and dumped at last .
She is soo f***king irritating.
This drama is soo meaning less.
I don't even know what the writer was thinking while writing the last episode.
I don't know what the sh*t was going in their mind while writing the last episode.
The last episode sucks.
THE DRAMA SUCKS.
DON'T WATCH IT.

Not worth it
The ML was misleading. The FL was annoying and couldnt make up her mind. Story line was boring and all over the place. The person she choose she had no chemistry. It was a waste of time and uninterest as the story unfolds. Not worth it, even to rewatch.In South Korea, its views were horrible low. One would think international views would have helped but it was a disappointed too.
I watched alot of Kdramas, Cdramas, JDramas and ThaiDramas, but this drama has to be the worst I have seen and so disappointed.

Somebody left the writers keyboard in a baby's room.
I really wanted to enjoy this but......the writers lost me. So much was missing. They could have save this around episode 6 or 7. It just seemed like they really didn't want to make it worthy of us watching. I really hope they get better roles. Especially Sung hoon i hope thats correct ...the ML. Whoever suggested his last few roles must really hate him. 😒. His last few roles didn't fit him.It was like watching a horrible accident in the making
All in all i was disappointed for the cast it got to a point were you know it must have been felt weird on set to finish.

This is dog poo
Never watched the original story so I thought this was an engaging plot with lot of potential. In the end, there is a few good thing and huge bad bad things.1/ STORY
Romance part: The cause of the pregnancy is convoluted but the evolution of the story is interesting. It was a good and understandable progression considering the personalities of the three characters involved. The story of the original couple SML and FL drifting apart and breaking up was well presented. The part of the FL and ML getting closer was badly told and even totally unbelievable. And the end is.. omg... You would have wanted to mock your audience you would not have done anything different.
Thriller part: Very convoluted from start to ending. Chasing after a drug dealer, SML and the other cops go through events and clues which appears out of the blue. At the end, the writer gave the nice role to Kang Jae when he did wrong all that time... lol... of course.
2/ CHARACTERS / ACTORS:
Woori : Interesting character with a quiet personality and not confident. She is not assertive and let others take the lead professionally and in her couple. But pregnancy makes her take decisions and evolve to become confident about her baby, her life and happiness and her job. And suddenly in the end .. taddah!!! I owned you.
Raphael : Allegedly grew without loving parents and cured from a cancer so he is a very human guy who cares about family and wants to build his own. There was a wrong characterization of him as the writer put most of the goofy and silly tone on him when he was the ML. He appeared very inconsistent, not likeable and the actor was too wooden face to make him endearing.
Kang Jae: Not the right guy for Woori but strangely the most wholesome guy of the drama. From start to finish, he is himself: selfish, self-centered, workaholic, reckless … he does plenty of bs but in the end taddah! He is now the greatest guy ever because suddenly the writer gave him a great Deus Ex Machina background story out of the blue.. Poor guy was raised by not his father... OF COURSE!!!.
Ma Ri: Silly daughter who is an accomplice of a bigger schemer to con other people but finally has a conscience and saves herself. The most interesting character in the end who ultimately did right. I love her.
Woori’s mom : super annoying
Woori’s dad : useless character
Woori’s colleague: She is fun and supportive.
3/ OST
OK, nothing specially out of place
4/ Rewatch value:
Zero.
5/ OVERALL:
A very good idea in the beginning but spoiled and wasted by terrible directing with bad editing, scenes badly cut, convoluted situations, uncontrolled misplaced goofy cartoonesque moments. ML’s actor was a bad choice of leading actor, or they asked from him what he could not do. SML was the worst and then in the end it is a miracle of the writer, he is the cream of crop because these stupid idiot writers understood how lame they turned the ML to be so they gave the big prize to the SML...
Seriously? This drama just mocked the audience. 1/10 because I could not give 0/10. Fck them.

Why did I sit through this?
If not for grandma and the female lead I would have ditched this 2 shows in. Awful story and all the male actors were TERRIBLE. Is it possible to find 3 worse male leads than this? I don't think so. Do women really like men like Kang Jae, clingy, whiney and unattractive? I tried to hang in to the end because I like the previous works of Im Soo--hyang (FL) (My Id is Gangnam Beauty, Graceful Family and the ongoing Doctor Lawyer and I actually looked forward to this drama because of her but...I found myself fast forwarding thru most of the show and really looking forward to the end, as dismal as it was.Was this review helpful to you?

One of the worst kdrama's I have seen
I thought after the first couple of episodes I had found a gem. Boy was I wrong. This was a stinker for the whole rest of the series. FL turns out to be in my mind a selfish horrible person. The one that marries her was a stinker all the way through. Stupid Stupid Stupid series. I ended up hating everyone. The crime drama plot was beyond dumb and the culprit was like just pulled up out of nowhere. Almost all the problems can be laid on the lap of the writer of this series. Lazy, no creativity. Last episaode they spend most of it setting it up like one person would be the husband. It was so so obvious and sure enough they pulled the stupid switch. Don't watch this series.Was this review helpful to you?

A drama about a writer that was way better than this script
Do not know or care about the original storyCould not like any characters! (Maybe the grandmother was ok…).
STORY – awful, with lots of plot holes that I do not think it is due to the length of the drama. I kept putting 2x the speed because I did not have higher speed to add.
Nothing in the story makes sense. Maybe just the love from a mother towards her baby, even gotten pregnant as she did. Her choices, her boomerang love, etc… I think Oh Woo Ri is the less interesting female character I have seen…
ACTING / CAST – nothing interesting here. Maybe Lee Ma Ri / Lee Mal Ja and her inner fight.
Woo Ri – cannot think of any positive thing rather than her beauty.
Raphael – a crybaby, a man that disappear as an individual to take care of a baby that has only his genetic DNA. For someone that faced death, I think he did not realised that his neurons really died. Not interesting or charming.
Lee Kang Jae – the worst lead detective I ever saw. Incompetent, liar, soft, etc. Do not understand this person. The way that he interact with Woo Ri or Raphael is so bad.
Oh Eun Ran – had a child, lying to everyone, including the man that loved her totally and did not know he was a father. Wanted to be a singer.
The rest is also bad. The criminals or villains were so bad! President Kim, please return! You should have killed this script!!
MUSIC – different from the silence.
REWATCH – only if my life depended on it. Maybe the dozens or hundreds of episodes from the telenovela from Venezuela would be better!!
OVERALL – I wasted time watching this. The premise had me curious, but sometimes the best ideas of a drama comes in the synopsis, where imagination runs wild!

Annoying FL
The script is a mess, and the female lead's acting is painfully bad. The only decent performances come from the bad girl character and the police officer. Everything else is difficult to sit through.The actress playing the lead can barely move her face, probably due to excessive plastic surgery. She struggles to speak clearly, likely because her lip fillers are getting in the way. Honestly, it’s unsettling. I really wonder who’s backing her. It's hard to understand how she continues to get lead roles with acting this terrible.
