Our Universe

Had to leave my two cents already!

Just finished episode 6 and I have to say my thoughts -- I am disapppointed in the FL. This girl, yes girl, is immature and unworthy of the ML and Woo Ju. I am at the point of dropping this series because of her character. She is poorly written and unfortunately poorly acted. I don't even get why the 2nd ML is obsessed with her. They have not been together for years and all of a sudden he is still in love with her!? And she with him!? Give me a break. Her priorities should have shifted once she became Woo Ju's guardian. At this point, I just want the ML to take Woo Ju away and they both live happily ever after. The only reason I will continue watching this is because of Bae In Hyuk and Yu Ho.

MOST HEARTWARMING & WHOLESOME FAMILY DRAMA!!! (taught me so much personally, was a feast to watch)

I personally loved this drama. It's my best drama so far for this year. I was hooked to the story from the start, and it didn't disappoint me at any point. I loved the acting, the OSTs and the dialogues specially. It was so heartwarming to watch and so real at times. It has got everything- love, friends, neighbors, colleagues and the kid. It will make you both laugh and cry sometimes. It felt so pure and really touched my heart- some scenes. Second ML was portrayed so good, I still remember the dialogue when FL talks about him to her friend, Ï find my heart heavy while being with him." "It's because you don't love him and that's why you feel heavy as you can't return his feelings." With the loved one, you feel relieved and not overwhelmed.

I really got to learn some good applicable philosophy about family and relationships through this drama. Initially, I expected it to be light, humorous and rom-com type, but it shocked me by touching deeper layers of relationships and insecurities. A truly gem of a drama! (Ofc there might be some people disliking it, I don't actually get why!) We really need to change our lens. I don't get why some are hating on the FL, like she was given a character and the character developed remarkably throughout. Both ML and FL had their own shortcomings, when it came to relationships. We need to see this drama beyond the lens of just romance or romantic feelings.

The child character was the main lead of the drama, I loved watching him doing cute little actions and speaking in that cute language of his own. That in-laws relationship or uncle-aunt relation was really fun and unique to watch. Don't expect any romance or kiss scene before ep 10. More than a romance drama, it's more about slice of life drama. There were many thriller or mysterious elements in between to balance the overall tone of the drama. Like woo-joo's grandfather coming in, the stalker, and then at last, the whole child custody/guardianship thing.

How all neighbors came together to help ML and FL, really showed some true bonds there. There is no as such antagonist to the drama. And that's what makes it more real and closer to emotions. I was really on the edge of my couch while watching the last 2 episodes, it felt so emotional and heavy. I could really empathize with the characters and the last episode just felt so wholesome.

A must-watch drama for sure! Don't go by the comments, just give it a shot! You will eventually fall in love with the characters. And woo-joo <3 It's gonna make you smile, cry, shy and excited all at once.

Waste of time

The story started off really well and the plot was actually interesting. Baby woo-joo is so adorable and probable the only good part of the show. The thing that got really annoying was the unnecessary second lead. Genuinely it was the most ridiculous add in the show, not only that but he was the first love and then became her teams leader. Every kdrama fans know that that’s a perfect main character relation but nope it was the second lead that got it. And the writers gave basically majority of the romance that yk, the main leads have, to the sec lead and the female lead. She also was honestly annoying, like she wanted baby woo-joo but kept abandoning him with the male lead. The main leads romance was not romancing, like they didn’t really connect with their scenes. Their romance was barely there. It got so frustrating that I had to drop the show bc why are they treating the second lead like he’s the main character??? On the plus side, woo-joo and his uncle (the male lead) had such a cute relationship!! I was going to just keep watching for them but I couldn’t do it. overall it was a waste of good plot. Like the writers could’ve actually cooked with this plot but they messed up

Park Yu-Ho acted better than two grown-ass adult lead actors. Either he’s genuinely that good, or the adult characters were written as cliché, pointless bickerers with zero depth.

The male lead is an immature man-child — something we’ve already seen a hundred times in Korean dramas. Nothing new. Same recycled trope again and again.

The love triangle is painfully obvious:
Female lead ↔ her boss (former college friend / crush) ↔ male lead.
The bickering was fun only until episode 3. From episode 4 onward, the fights had no reason to exist.

The male lead just talks nonsense all day. No logic, no reasoning — he just says whatever comes to his mind, even when it makes absolutely zero sense. It’s exhausting, not entertaining.

Park Yu-Ho, despite being just a 2-year-old, outperformed everyone — without any help from the writers. He had more personality, maturity, and presence than the adult male lead. That alone says everything about how badly the lead character is written.

Nowadays, Korean dramas seem obsessed with either making babies or taking care of babies. Ironically, this show actually discourages people from having kids. It clearly shows how grown adults can’t even take care of themselves — so how are they supposed to raise another fragile human life?

The male lead is extremely selfish, especially considering his so-called “trauma.” He was abandoned by his older brother in an orphanage, and because of that, he wants his own nephew to be abandoned and sent to an orphanage as well.

What kind of sick logic is that?

If he suffered from abandonment, he should want to prevent the same thing from happening to his nephew — not recreate it just so he can feel validated about his own past. Instead of breaking the cycle, he wants to repeat it.

That’s not trauma — that’s selfishness, immaturity, and terrible writing.

You will hate THE 2ML

I didn’t finish this drama… and honestly? that says everything.

Not because I didn’t understand it.
Not because I was busy.

But because at some point, I realized—
this drama doesn’t even know what it wants to be.
It introduces itself like a soft, emotional, found-family story.
You expect healing, grief, growth… a child bringing two broken people together.

Instead?

You get stuck watching a loop of:
work → sunbae → awkward romance → repeat 🔁

And somewhere in the background… there’s apparently a baby too.

What’s frustrating isn’t that the drama is “bad”—
it’s that it keeps hinting at something better… and then refuses to go there.

There are moments—small ones—
where you see what it could’ve been.

A quiet scene with the ML and the child.
A glimpse of responsibility.
A hint of emotional depth.

And then immediately—

✨ back to sunbae ✨

It almost feels like two different dramas fighting each other:

One is a warm, grounded story about loss, responsibility, and building a family.
The other is a typical, dragged-out romance with zero urgency and too much focus on the wrong dynamics.

And somehow… the second one wins.
The biggest issue?

Not even the love triangle itself—
but how unbalanced everything feels.

One character is carrying emotional weight, growth, and responsibility…
while the story keeps rewarding another dynamic that doesn’t even feel central.

So instead of feeling invested, you just sit there like:

“Wait… why is THIS the focus?”

And that’s when it hits—

This isn’t frustrating because it’s terrible.
It’s frustrating because it had potential and kept wasting it.

By the time I dropped it, I already knew how it would go.
Not because it was predictable in a satisfying way…
but because it stopped surprising me at all

Final thoughts:

This could’ve been a quiet, meaningful drama.

Instead, it turns into something that feels stretched, distracted, and unsure of its own story.

Not the worst thing ever—
just… disappointing in a very avoidable way.

If you’re here for:

✔ soft family moments → you won’t get enough
✔ emotional depth → barely explored
✔ balanced storytelling → nope

But if you like slow, romance-heavy plots with a lot of repetition…
you might still sit through it.
Me?

I left halfway—and honestly,
it felt like the right ending for me 💀

Attention seekers

I finished this drama in about a day and a half, it was fun and I enjoyed most of it. The flaw I found with the plot was too much bs that was honestly kinda boring. The repetitive story with the brother, and the business talk no one really cares for. Other than having to skip a lot because of this, I really enjoyed this cute drama. I found the actors to have good chemistry, it wasn't anything out of this world, but that was just the script, nothing too much (which I liked.) The male lead was very expressive with his eye's; this caught my eye and I though his acting was great. I didn't see his acting and think to myself "wow this guy sucks!" The female lead was very pretty and her acting was also pretty good, no complaints, she's great in front of the camera. And the baby was so cute, talented kid. Overall, it wasn't a masterpiece, just something slightly funny, and very "not taken seriously."

With this being said, I was disappointed, but not that surprised with the mediocre rating and the bad smart alec comments. This show is not fr, it's just a rom/com that's meant to be watched by someone who's probably got no life or overworked, and they just wanted to see something while they eat or to relieve a little stress. The nick picking is honestly cringe; this isn't Shakespeare or some other author where dissection of each line and scene should be done to further our knowledge on such writing techniques. It's just some random drama. I don't get the complaining about the plot when it was kinda something new. I saw some complaining on the events of the romance as well as the question of why a love triangle was needed. Honestly, when is a love triangle not used, even a little. The show was cliche in some respects, and i think that's common/fine. I was okay with the way the romance unfolded, it seemed more pure, though i wished her decision would have had a little more interest besides just realizing she'll never see him again. Even so, the way it was written was fine in my book. We are entitlted to our own options so people can nit pick all they want, i'm simply adding how corny it is to freak out over a kdrama rom/com.

I hope they never see the comments some write about them, their looks, how they seem on camera, and whether or not they seem worthy enough to grace our screen. How exhausting. Overall, i would do what you want, not listen to comments, and form your very own opinion. chaooo.

Our Universe / Our Sunbae ❓❗

I actually started watching this drama when it first aired, but I just finished it today :) I stopped watching after ep. 6, when FL became obsessed with her sunbae. At first, I didn’t plan to continue to watch this drama, but I’m a fan of Bae Inhyuk /lol/

Okay. Here’s my review.

Actually, this drama has a good story if it focused on Woojoo’s upbringing without adding the convoluted love story between FL and her sunbae, which ultimately led to a poor final rating by the viewers. IMO, two episodes of their love story would have been enough, but this… I mean, it's just become so weird😭 can't even say a single word about this couple any more.

Well, this drama didn’t even start discussing the legal custody issue until the very end of the episode? Wasting time, right? They should have dragged it out and made it more complicated. The end of drama was like..... forced to end. It's like... end now.

I don’t blame FL that sometimes she forgot about her niece when she’s in love—that’s just how people are when they’re head over heels. Luckily, there’s her uncle, who’s always there for her niece.

Still... I hope this drama could give more about Woojoo than his imo & sunbae.

Not perfect but I love it anyway.

Our Universe certainly has its flaws, but i.m.o. it doesn’t deserve a low rating. I think many viewers were so disappointed by one particular plot turn that they overlooked how much this drama actually gets right.
What worked especially well for me were the early episodes: the sharp, lively chemistry between the ML and FL when they were still bickering and clashing, their chaotic energy, and the genuinely fun dynamic they had. And Bae In‑hyuk and Woo joo are the heart of this drama, In-hyuk carries Tae‑hyeong’s entire arc with warmth, nuance, and outstanding comedic timing. His scenes with Woo‑joo are pure gold because of their natural chemistry and the  brilliant editing of Woo‑joo’s expressions. I also loved the supporting cast, the emotional development between the leads, and the heartwarming ending.
What didn’t work was the infamous love triangle. Viewers were already fully invested in ML/FL/Woo‑joo, so the 2ML felt like an unwelcome intruder. He was written as pushy and unsympathetic, had no real depth or personal arc, lacked chemistry with the FL, and took up far too much screentime. This not only hurt the pacing but also made the FL’s behavior confusing and inconsistent. Both the FL actress and the 2ML actor were left with very little to work with. 
I actually liked the FL’s chemistry with Tae‑hyeong/Bae In‑hyuk, she showed more emotion and depth with him, even if not always consistently, she had her moments.
Because of the triangle, we also got far too little time with the ML and FL once they finally became a couple, far too late in the series. I really missed seeing more of their new dynamic together: their awkward but sincere love, their growth as partners, and their development as a little family with Woo‑joo. That deserved much more space.

Despite this, Our Universe is one of my favorite dramas. It has plenty of humor, heart, and emotional moments. And honestly, Tae‑hyeong and Woo‑joo alone make it worth watching.
