Shit love triangle
My Review: A Total Waste of Time! please read this before watch this shit** I'm save your precious time)This is, hands down, the most frustrating drama I have ever watched. My head is spinning from how terrible the writing is. I only started this show because of the Male Lead (ML) and the child, thinking the story would revolve around them. I already had zero faith in the Female Lead (FL) because her characters are always the same—she strings two men along until the very last second and only "chooses" one when she has no other options left.
But this script? It’s on a whole new level of toxic. I can’t believe she is using one guy at home while simultaneously going on dates with her "first love" at the office! How can someone write something this disgusting?
For the first time ever, I am rooting against the main couple. I don't want the ML to end up with her at all. He is a wonderful character who deserves so much better than a manipulative FL. She belongs with the Second Male Lead (SML) so they can be miserable together.
I literally logged into this site just to give this drama the lowest rating possible. It didn't just waste my time; it genuinely ruined my mood. I’m beyond furious!

Terrible story development dont watch
Started out great and promising in the storyline seemed solid and interesting but then it all turned to b******* it's the worst story progression that I've ever seen and they gave the second lead more time than the main lead to the extent where we don't even know who the main lead is anymore and now they even push the child towards the second lead which goes against all that we thought the story was about overall I think the writers need to do better this is a bad story do not watch it. Got my hopes up for nothing. Baby is a great actor thoughWas this review helpful to you?
A bit better than these harsh reviews, wow!
This series is really in a three different parts. It starts out more of a dramatic with a darker tone, but eventually goes into a blend of some drama and comedy, followed by true drama with romantic storylines.It kind of took me a while to warm up to the two protagonists, they didn't seem to have anything in the way of chemistry early on, but if you give it until the fifth episode, things do start to change for the better in all ways. The story gets more interesting, the cast begins to blend together, throw in one or two antagonists ... and from that point on, it's extremely enjoyable.
I have a feeling that some of these negative reviews were people not giving enough time to the story. In Hyuk & Jeong Eui really develop into a believable couple ... eventually. The later episodes gives the story an entirely new and fresh direction, correcting for anything you felt it was lacking early on.
The final episode is a dramatic and powerful last hour, giving you a nice conclusion to what really turns out to be a pretty good series. Things kind of go full circle, leaving you with a smile on your face at the end.
Little Woo Soo played by Yu Ho is absolutely adorable!!!

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ?
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME 🥱The drama had everything to be great. I devoured the first 4 episodes, but what happened from there???? Did they change the protagonist and forget to warn the audience? I didn’t feel her connection with the protagonist, much less with the child.
On the contrary, she left me frustrated by such a bad aunt. They lost the team to build a family relationship between the 3. And they made a character a sonsa, who only runs after the “first love” 🙄
I can’t wait to finish this drama. For me he was terrible, I don’t recommend it! A shame.

Great premise spoiled by bad writing
Was a very interesting plot from the time they promoted it. We got about 2.5 episodes that stayed true to the promoted plot. Then it went downhill. Unnecessary triangle and too much screen time with second lead- a character that was completely unnecessary to the plot- completely spoiled the fun.9 episodes in they are lost now and seems like there isnt much in terms of change happening with previews full of SL still. Even if something changes now its almost at the end of the series and it is not going to be satisfying.
Its such a shame because they had a very good plot on their hand. Goes on to show how deeply burried writers heads are in their own cliches writing. Kdrama world needs to retire all writers and get fresh talent so stories can get some freshness

This drama is just writer and director ragebaiting people
I can't believe how this editing got through, I can't comprehend how people watch this crap lol, I envy for the people who waited and didn't watch this drama they didn't wasted their time watching this. How come the male lead has less screen time with the female lead, I do think they actually thought people gonna have a second lead syndrome when they direcing this lol.Was this review helpful to you?
A beautifully made drama with heart, charm, and a few uneven choices
Our Universe was, on the whole, a delight. The production values are genuinely impressive—clean visuals, thoughtful framing, and a gentle aesthetic that suits the story’s emotional tone. The show also shines in its world‑building: the food production company feels lived‑in and believable, and the photography elements are handled with a quiet, artistic confidence.The relationships are where the drama really finds its warmth. The OTP is lovely—steady, emotionally grounded once established, and easy to root for. The mature photography couple adds a welcome layer of constancy, even if their presence fades more than I would’ve liked. And the caring apartment neighbours? A small but meaningful touch that gives the show a sense of community and softness.
The ML’s backstory is one of the drama’s strengths, offering depth and emotional texture, though its resolution does land a little too conveniently. The show also stumbles around Episode 5, drifting into overly sugary territory before recovering its balance. The final episode, however, pushes Woo Joo’s guardianship storyline so far over the top that I found myself fast‑forwarding through most of it.
Even with those bumps, Our Universe remains a warm, well‑crafted watch. When it leans into connection, craft, and the small constellations people form around each other, it truly shines.

People are being WAY too harsh on this drama imo
This drama is very slice of life and unpopular opinion I don’t see anything wrong with FL actions!But I will say the advertisement and synopsis need to be corrected because they don’t explain the whole plot well.
First of all, when I watch dramas in a different language than my own I can’t really tell if the acting is bad so I don’t have any strong opinions on that besides the fact that I liked both actors in their roles I think they are great. I also like ML in the role better than his role in cheer I think he suits an older character better.
For the comments I’ve seen about FL body- I hope she is healthy and doing well but it is not mine or anybody who doesn’t know her personallys place to comment on these things. Especially since her body had NOTHING to do with her character, they never once tried to highlight or glorify her body so why it is even a conversation in these reviews is beyond me.
All of that aside I liked this drama. I think it was very sweet and on the slightlyyyyy more realistic side. I liked that the FL had an actual consideration of SML because her friendship with ML was strong enough to give the other guy a chance- it may have dragged on an episode too long but it’s a very real feeling to be confused about your feelings and needing time to decide who is best for you. especially since SML , while jealous at times, generally had FL and the babies best interest in mind. I wish I could have seen more moments of FLs emotions toward ML growing, instead of her guilt towards SML- though that was important as well.
I loved male lead throughout this but hated that he tried to ruin FL interview at the beginning and I don’t think he ever apologized as if he didn’t jeopardize the FL opportunity to get a job and support the baby that he wasn’t planning on having any involvement with. But his character development was great and he and his friends were all very likable. I also loved the support from neighbors, having a village when both characters grew up without big families was so great to see and important for both of them to experience.
Overall, it was a good drama imo I liked it enough to finish it! People just love to hate and are pretty dramatic about their distaste for FL. let a girl live!

Soft, Sweet, and Underrated
I cannot believe the amount of hate this series is receiving, because honestly? It's one of the most heartwarming dramas I've seen in a long time.What I loved:
This show is simply beautiful — soft pastel colors, warmth in every frame, and tenderness overflowing from beginning to end. At its heart, it's a genuinely touching story about learning to become a parent, and it delivers that with so much heart. The baby is absolutely adorable, and I think the show gave him just the right amount of screen time — which, let's be real, must be quite a challenge when working with such a young child on set. The ending was exactly what I hoped for: a sweet birthday celebration that felt like the perfect, earned conclusion. This is the kind of series that just makes you feel good.
What didn't quite work:
My only real hesitation was that the second male lead's storyline dragged on a bit too long and slowed the main plot down during the middle stretch — though by the end, it stopped bothering me. And on a lighter note: the female lead's outfits were... not it. At all. But that's a minor styling complaint in an otherwise lovely show.
Final thoughts:
A beautiful series in every sense of the word — cozy, comforting, and easy to love. Don't let the discourse put you off.

Our Universe: Started with Hope, Ended in Disappointment
I started watching Our Universe because of Wooju, and honestly, the drama had a really good start. It showed a range of emotions and felt promising in the beginning, which kept me going.But as the story progressed, it slowly started losing my interest. The focus shifted more towards the female lead and the second male lead, and they were given a lot of screen time together. I understand how the story was supposed to end, but it still felt a bit unbalanced.
What disappointed me the most was Wooju’s character. I started this drama for him, but his story barely progressed as the episodes went on. It felt like his character was sidelined, which made it harder for me to stay invested.
I had pretty high expectations going into this drama, especially after the strong start, but it didn’t quite live up to them for me.
Maybe it works for others, but for me, it turned out to be a bit disappointing.

What we were sold vs. What we actually got
This series was supposed to be about U Ju, that precious baby who is, quite literally, the only thing that kept me glued to the screen until the end. He is absolutely adorable, you just want to squeeze him in every scene. but the writers decided that giving screen time to the aunt’s office flirting was more important than the actual process of grief and parenting.The synopsis claims the aunt (Hyeon Jin) "focuses on raising U Ju." Excuse me? In what timeline? Because in the one I watched, she spends all day at the office or fooling around with her boss, while Tae Hyeong is the one actually looking after the little one and providing financial stability. I really struggled to connect with her. Her performance was bland and lifeless; her facial expressions convey as much as a blank wall. I didn't feel her pain, her love, or her struggle.
Honestly, the show should have been titled TAE HYEONG’S UNIVERSE, because he is the one who saved the day. His evolution is the only coherent part of the script: going from a photographer obsessed with control and solitude to becoming the true primary caregiver. It’s heartwarming to see how, despite his initial reluctance, he is the one actually "orbiting" around U Ju while the female lead seems to be in a completely different galaxy.
In short: A wasted opportunity. It should have been a story about two novices navigating tragedy and forced parenthood, but it ended up being the "Bland Protagonist Show," where she constantly ignores her responsibilities.
The Best: The baby. He steals every single scene and is the only reason I’m not giving this 1 star.
The Worst: The pivot toward a generic romance and Hyeon Jin’s total lack of emotional weight.

Great Disappointed drama
Honestly I really like the SML as an actor bcz of his acting skill but in this drama i started to hate him bcz of unnecessary love triangle and focus. After watching some reels on woo joo and his samcheon I was really waiting to watch this drama but turns out a great disappointment. The drama suddenly changed after some episodes and i really want to see woo joo more on screen but can't (even though not acting and just baby things) also the bonding between him and his co parents. The bg story of ML and the current story was good somehow but i just lost my interest when there is more SML focusing even when u expect ML u will find SML it's like the directors are making clown of us.Was this review helpful to you?
