the FL sucks , she is such a red flag

After episode 8, for me, this drama's rating dropped from 10 to 7.

The SML things that he is the boss in their House and family. Is so upsetting. How can you impose yourself in such a way between members who try to raise and make a program for a baby. The words and the way he speaks to Tae Hyeong is crazy. Is like in the Positively yours drama.

The FL is such a red flag.

The FL does not have any connection with the baby. Do you see it? She is not amused at all. it's crazy how he let herself be in a connection with her boss, the first love. Immature, not attractive, luck of emotional intelligence. and fisicaly she is looking like a teenager not a woman. Please eat something.

The baby and the ML needs a new house and a mature woman.

And other thing that I don't like is the father. He does not deserve anything from his son. The better way is to stay away, and only if the son want s to connect to be their, but I hope not. A parent that treats his own child like this does not deserve any future connection. The father is intrusive. and talks like an unloved child to the neighbors with Woo Hyeon Jin he wants to have a relationship with his son like nothing happens.

if you will have a father like this one, don't forget you have the right to say to him NO, you can protect yourself mentally and emotionally from a trauma like this. You can forgive him, for yourself, to set your soul free, but you can say no, I don't want to see you never again. You can choose the type of relationship you want, even if he is your father. Dont let yourself cut in the story of a good family. If is not real for you is correct .

The way they put again in 2026 the abuse of a child from adults, as the child is blamed for the father mistake with money. It's unlivable how the Korean adults treats children.

I love the baby, I love how Tae Hyeong green flag is. I hopped for a good drama. I love his talent with photography. And for the fist time I feel a FL deserves another woman in his life, not a teenager like Woo Hyeon Jin.

Let's get our priorities straight

I know I probably shouldn't write a review when only half of the series is out, but this is too frustrating.

The story revolves around two in-laws who came together to raise a baby after an unfortunate accident, or so I thought (and hoped).

I don't normally start with the bad aspects of drama, but this can not be ignored.

The plot relies way too heavily on the love triangle, and it's taking up so much screen time that it's starting to get annoying. I'm not a love triangle hater. I enjoyed series such as "Lovely Runner", "True Beauty" or "Can This Love Be Translated?" — these are some popular examples — but this one is way over-the-top.

The SML affection towards the FL makes no sense. Literally no contact for 7 years, but he somehow still loves her? Make that make sense. They weren't even dating, there was literally no time for his yearning to grow to this degree. And what's with the sudden ownership over the FL in ep 6? "OUR Hyunjin"?! What gives him the right?

The FL isn't completely innocent either. She could've set the record straight from the start and not lead him on. It's true that she had no interest in the ML in the beginning, but at least when she realised something was going on, she could've stopped giving the SML so much attention and giving him hope.

Moving on from the bad aspects, there is a good side to this drama as well. The story in nothing really out of the ordinary, but the actors really deliver it. I do get some second-hand embarrassment sometimes — and I can feel the awkwardness through the screen — but it's enjoyable.

The main leads' backstories are both tragic in one way or another. In the end they're two broken people coming together to raise a child in a manner which they didn't get to experience. I'm not going to go into to much detail.

The cinematography and OSTs are also good. I didn't pay much attention to the music, but it fits the overall vibe of the drama.

In the end, if you enjoy love triangles, or a cosy story with small hiccups along the way, its a good kdrama.

started great and lost it totally

The first few Episodes were so good but then it deteriorated totally. It’s really sad because of the actors and specially the baby are so good. But it’s just not interesting anymore and has no real heart. I will probably watch the last episode but drop it for now. it is not a spoiler that it has a left triangle, which is totally unnecessary. I was hoping for a healing Romans or a slice of life and the Journey becoming parents and overcoming the death of their loved ones together. instead, it is a wishy-washy female lead, and the second male lead who is a good actor, but a useless character in my opinion.

Omg so fun! ML / Woo Ju so refreshing and sparkley, great lessons in adulting / parenting... weak FL

This drama went up and down.. now is down LOL The first few episodes are scary bc ML is a jerk, and L is so lifeless... Then after ep 4 it gets pretty good, FL perks up, and ML transforms totally into a very caring dad..

The better drama would be to have two separate dramas, one about ML raising Woo ju and another about SML and FL office romance LOL

The way this drama is written is, a 20 episode drama or at least 16

ML and Woo Ju are the stars here and the show is worth it for thm. ML actor is so good at his very complex role and soooo good and energtic and COMICAL and sooo good with Woo Ju

FL is a pretty bad actress bc she is just so weak, so malnourished and tired..

SO DRAMA GETS TO THAT POINT THAT ML IS A GREAT DAD, AND FL IS STRONG ENOUGH TO HAVE A JOB... AND THEN FL GETS STUCK WITH SML, HER FIRST LOVE... AND THEN... it is like ... ough... disgusting ... as she strings 2 guys and uses ML as a free babysiter while she goes on dates and often takes Woo Ju on her flirt escapades with SML

THEN IT GOES DOWN. Then it becomes clear that FL is treating Woo Ju the baby as a pet fish - she buys aquarium and pet food, but ML provides the home .. FL has no connection with Woo Ju... bc she is going on dates with SML ... and taking WJ with her... meanwhile ML is going bananas bc he fell in love with her... and WJ is anxious to see his "mom" flirt witih someone who is not his "dad"

So... at that point... around ep 8... FL is stringing two guys... and it is a mess... FL as an irresponsible slime parasite...

SO MY REVIEW WAS WRITTEN AFTER EP 6 or so... when it was looking like it was going up...

SO this is only 12 ep drama and in ep 9, FL is still with SLM flirting, so ... we dont know what's gonna happen..

-------- this is what I wrote earlier

So - Do not read reviews based on watching just 2-3 episodes... This drama is a revolutionary approach to adulting and parenting, showing real struggle and real success that comes with some effort.... and a smart kid as an equal member of the family.

This drama is a treat!!!!! I LOVE THIS DRAMA!!! so refreshing, so lively and cute, and deep and ... realistic... that healthy toddler is totally real :) and the challenges of raising a kid and becoming a functional adult are also real...

Some parts are realistically scary... LOL ML started as a selfish immature jerk, he would have just let that child go!!!! but in later episodes, he becomes a caring and engaged dad, better caretaker of Woo Ju than the FL.. .... I love that it is realistic, we see him starting as totally unwilling - as most men would LOL - and then transforming...

FL started as weak, but luckily already somewhat transformed, by ep 2 is already fighting! more energetic and lively and a lot better mom! Omg I so appreciate the script writer for not dragging her lifeless phase. It is such a relief to see her take good care of the kid and to see the kid flourish under her - and to see her flourish too. She got stronger and more vibrant and expressive and giving. More mature. But not enough - she too is selfish jerk, just in a more polite way, and keeps forgetting the kid. But ... she also makes progress...
it is hard bc FL actress is so ... malnourished that she does not seem energetic at all....

ML is energetic and strong and reaaally fun, I love that actor for his comedy skills, the ML character is making a great dad once he started turning around. It will be such a great pair with the baby.

THE BABY IS SOOOOO ADORABLE. He is a star :) I am so glad they are using AI for scenes with him so that the baby doesnt suffer from filming scenes with yelling adults etc.

The drama milked every opportunity for comedy and for cuteness... ML is an amazing comedian, the baby too, and FL is helping as well...

The filming makes it even more hilarious - translating baby's words, various angles of the camera, it is sooo creative!!!! I loved that front scene of ML that was head in the right corner of screen and his shoulder in the left corner. It was asymmetrical and really looked good, and very "up and coming new style". The filming is very dynamic. THe camera and video production are very creative and skilled and the comical effect of their work is hilarious.

Such a lovely sparkley alive refreshing drama. I LOVE IT!!!!

Please rate individual episodes so that the rating goes up! Spread the word!

I was thinking a lot about Woo Ju. The way the kid is portrayed is so .. revolutionary. I really love how they show him observing, talking and expressing his opinions... He is a smart cutie :) and it goes a lot deeper than just that. This idea that the parents are TALKING with the kid as an active participant and someone who has a say. Notice that Woo Ju never ever is allowed to dictate anything nor does he try.... . He is just asked for opinion. And he offers his opinion when something is really bothering him LOL and it is always for a good reason...

Woo Ju is shown as an entity of his own, with his own mind and emotions, and actively participating - he observes and reads the room and knows what is going on....
So: this drama portrays ****children as active participants in family, who have their say and who can be reasoned with.**** It is very remarkable. This is totally revolutionary according to the traditional upbringing where kids are more like furniture that the parent OWNS and arranges as they wish - including marriage, etc.

The drama is very deep. It is about what it means to be a good parent. That's deep. It is about a self-centered young person growing up enough to take care of a baby and earning a livelihood. Also, it shows this young female parasite who was always getting handouts from her family, finally stand up on her own two feet. That is remarkable. It is very "feminist" in many ways. It is empowering for all women.
Also it shows this young male who is a very caring and active dad. It shows what a good dad is. Kids in the past did not have good dads, they had robots who ordered them around and did not interact much. So this new type of father is very revolutionary too.
Also, it shows that taking care of a baby is not such a big deal, which is true. It is a big deal and also is not :)
(Unfortunately, it shows kindergarden as a nice place - well... it very likely is not :) I would rather hire an ahjuma or adjushi to take care of the baby...)

So overall, this is an AMAZING drama in so many ways.
I really like it a lot.
Minus some details LOL I want FL to eat, have some muscles on her and be energetic, lively and strong.
I love acting of ML actor, he is just amazing
and I totally adore Woo Ju :)

=========
Someone posted that this drama has 1% rating in S Korea and lots of slutshaming FL for having a man, baby, AND work.. ??? that seems backwards. Totally.

This is one of the best dramas ever, it is very funny yet profound and meaningful.

Calling it "Baby propaganda" is actually totally skewed bc children are a part of life, just like seniors are. The world does not revolve around young adults - although young adults like to think that way LOL The world does not consist only of working-age adults....
So yeah I like to see children in a drama. Presence of children SHOULD BE totally normal. Seems like it has become a rare thing in S Korea and the West... so yeah those ppl are going extinct.
And seniors, who are now majority of population, are hidden, and dramas are about this small group of younger ppl.

WORST written fl in a while

2 people closest to the leads the person both of them cared for the most
her sister and his brother Passed away In an unfair accident nonetheless

if this show was written by good writers even just this much would have been enough
to build a good story about grief and loss
with woojo being the only ray of light in their life
but it feels like they are perfectly fine after their death it's business as
usual

instead of focusing on overcoming hardships in life and a new found family, hope and a sense of belonging
they decided to focus on the stupid love triangle

the fl after being confessed to by both ml and sml
does not reject any one of them or set-up any boundaries with either of them instead
receives help and affection from both of them

and choses to ignore as if nothing happend
and the sml asks to go on dates she accepts
without rejecting the ml she's keeping both of them on the hook
it's MAD how undecisive she is

FAILURE

The Trailers were misleading.
This drama promised to offer something fresh and healing.
We all thought it would be about young people struggling to find themselves amid all the difficulties, their traumas and past, all while welcoming their nephew into their lives and becoming parental figures for him.
But it really wasn't.
The producer and writer really FLOPPED REALLY HARD.
Instead of giving a concrete drama with a decent storyline, they went for the short and made a stupid love triangle that NEVER ENDS.
I get that the FL rekindling with her past first love (SML) is part of the concept of ''navigating life as a young adult and finding herself'', but there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for it to last for 7+ episodes. The baby plot was buried, and they made the ML stay like an NPC who suffers for an average, stupid girl who can't set boundaries.

Don't waste your time on this mediocre drama.
Giving it a 1 because it's impossible to give 0.5 (Sorry baby Woojo, you were amazing, but that stupid Sunbae ruined the drama)
