How to be a Perfect Dad (2022)

Loved. Recommend.

"How to Be a Perfect Dad" is a comedy that begins with a little girl, and her non-custodial playboy father learning to become a dad, when the child's single mom is hospitalized. Maddeningly beautiful, and warmhearted. Frustrating, and saddening, even angering at times. All the emotions that such a story can invoke, the supernaturally-based "How to Be a Perfect Dad" does.

It is a family tale, with layers of ghostly hauntings and mysterious figures. The underlying currents of love, throughout, are worth it. A modern tale without baggage, and a production team confident in the story they were creating. Highly recommended.

Hm...

I can't decide whether I like this drama or not.

I do love the initial plot of the ML having to take care of his daughter. Watching their relationship grow and their bond get stronger filled me with so much joy (can you tell I used to watch The Return of Superman? LOL). Seeing him also actually take responsibility of his life and work was also great.

The supernatural plotline was a bit meh for me. I really enjoyed the FL making relationships with the other spirits/ghosts (idk the difference sorry), and at times, it was very interesting. But honestly, I was slightly worn out by the end, and I mostly just wanted to see the ML with his kid, but maybe that's just me.

There are a few moments which I will not mention that I just had to suspend belief for (and they were non-supernatural things) and there were other times I just wanted to shout at some of the side characters. And I feel like that only increased as the end of the drama was nearing.

So when I think about my overall experience, as much as I love the main storyline, the last few episodes were just underwhelming and slightly annoying at times, so I have very mixed feelings. But, what I keep coming back to is the relationship between the parents with each other, and with their daughter, and how the parents created their relationship , but especially the ML's with his daughter. And of course knowing the main leads are married in real life also just makes me enjoy it even more. And for that, I think this drama is worth it, and now I think I need to watch more dramas where the main actors are married irl!
