For a first episode they covered too much of the plot, in other words the part of story covered had emotional depth and it was conveyed poorly. While people are hung on the AI intro I would like to point out some other issues that I found.
Acting:
The FL's acting seems unnatural for the most part (initial). But I believe it is because of her face. She is pretty ofc but I personally feel it doesn't suit the acting she does. Or maybe it's the bangs. Sorry but her acting was the first thing I noticed. I found FL's sister and ML's acting fine and pretty natural respectively. After the funeral FL's acting seems on point and could feel her grief.
Pacing:
Too fast for an emotional plot. Like I get it that they had to kill the couple off in the first ep so to make it emotional they added bonding scenes. Those scenes were abrupt and short. It felt like seeing a recap of 1 and 2 eps. The screenwriting is bad cause the way things unfolded felt like a fever dream. As a result I didn't feel connected to any of the characters. I am a person who cries for the simplest thing in any series or movie however despite such a tragedy striking FL I found myself staring blank at the screen. If u have seen Start-up u know how the first ep ends and I was bawling my eyes out for it.
Direction :
Several cut and abrupt scenes. Makes it look like the plot is all over the place but in reality it is the just presentation that lacks order. Plot : Quite basic. FL and ML have a comedic encounter before their official meet-up. The comedy felt forced for some part. Cliched bond between FL and her sister. Like I have seen n times when someone says they like a thing for the first time ever so the protagonist goes to buy/fulfill their wish. But these basic plots have emotional depth somewhere, which the first ep failed to deliver.
Conclusion: Though the acting seems week, pacing is weird and execution is weak ( for now), I will still watch it for the plot. (The plot being the kid and ML)

Foi perfeito!!!
Já entregou drama, momento fofura e um climinha de implicância entre os protas kkkkk
Esse kdrama está prometendo. Parece até que teremos uma história complicada envolvendo o pai do Tae Hyeong.

They did a good job giving the background of sibling relationship or lack thereof. The sis had a very loving relationship with her sister until very recently. She felt her sibling was mothering her rather than letting her learn on her own and her last conversation wasn’t a good one for a last memory. The brother was a surprise because big brother wrote him off when he was very young and left him at a children’s home with a parting gift. Big brother is at a loss because he didn’t expect to see or hear from his sibling. The little brother is drawn into things in spite of his attitude about his brother deserting him. He treated his nephew the same as his brother treated him before leaving, a parting gift and goodbye. Little sis feels responsible because she felt like a weight for her sister to carry. She is determined to make up for that. She doesn’t think well of her brother in law and he has given her no reason to. But she does note he’s not a mean spirited person and has stepped up tho minimally. He has made it clear he considers this his last meeting with both of them. There are many movies and dramas with this theme, but this one held its own telling this version of unexpected guardianship. I am looking forward to see how they drag the reluctant brother into things.
