A great light watch!
I’m honestly surprised by the low rating of this one - my ratings usually are pretty close to the general ratings in MDL.The story is developed around a few key messages - relationship can start at any point, sometimes life can throw you a ball, which makes you question all your believes, and sometimes doing the right thing is worth it.
After Dynamite Kiss I see a move towards more carrying, more approachable and less shouty protagonists. I totally enjoy the turned down testosterone and macho bossy males characters. I loved the journey of those two. I loved the strong sister in law - she did a fabulous job!! They could have over cooked the mother story, develop more the friends relationship, the accident - but they didn’t and it made the drama more balanced for me.
Kudos to the writers that they kept it as it is and to the director that drove the story line like this. What I’m most grateful for is that this one has quite high rewatch value for me, it’s one of those feel good stories that can make you smile.

The Magic of a Fantastic Support Cast
This is a classic style feel good rom-com, that is entertaining to watch. The lead actors did really well playing their parts, but what pushed this drama into a solid 9 to me was the support actors and the editing. The support actors were so funny and made what could have been a standard rom-com into so much more! The editor did a great job at split screening facial expressions to capture every quirky moment. Even the mentally deranged antagonist (the actress was very convincing) you just feel pity for, because she is missing out on all the love/support from friends, family and coworkers. The spice level was decently average for a rom-com, but the drama itself is a solid recommendation from this drama watcher for comedy, romance and a just enough angst to wonder how it will be resolved.Was this review helpful to you?
Positively Yours: A Sweet Romance That Had Me Smiling Like an Idiot
I finished watching Positively Yours last night, and I can confidently say — it was absolutely worth the time and emotional investment.Before starting the drama, I had already read the original webtoon. I was curious about how they would adapt the story, especially with the noticeable change in the female lead’s occupation. In the webtoon, she was a teacher, but in the drama, she is portrayed as a career woman working in the alcohol industry. Surprisingly, this adjustment didn’t take away from the essence of the story. Instead, it added a refreshing, modern layer to her character, making the adaptation feel familiar yet newly vibrant.
Despite the criticism circulating online — comments questioning the leads’ acting abilities and even unnecessary remarks about their appearances — I found their performances genuinely convincing. Both main leads embodied their characters with warmth and sincerity. Their chemistry wasn’t explosive in an exaggerated way; rather, it unfolded naturally, in soft glances, awkward pauses, and tender moments that felt real.
While the drama was still airing, I found myself eagerly waiting for new episodes almost every night. That anticipation itself speaks volumes about how invested I was. It’s a light-hearted romantic comedy that doesn’t overwhelm you with excessive drama. Instead, it comforts you. It makes you smile uncontrollably, cringe in secondhand embarrassment, and sometimes even squeal in pure joy.
The pacing was smooth, the storytelling well-structured, and the emotional beats were balanced perfectly with humor. If there’s one complaint I have, it’s that twelve episodes felt too short. Just as I grew attached to the characters and their world, it was time to let go.
Positively Yours is a gentle reminder that sometimes, simple and warm stories are enough to leave a lasting impression.

Over promising
I started this drama uneducated about its manhwa version but with hopes and excitement without fearing or caring for the fans’ complaints about the cast.The synopsis was looking fun and engaging, the kind of light story full laughters. I was happy with the cast as I have seen many dramas with both of them. They always delivers solid quality acting but never really bad or extraordinary neither.
The first episode was somehow ok, not strong enough to start a serial but we all know that Kdramas don’t work with the pilot model where the first episode is craft to the perfection by going through rounds of approval, testings, viewers’s reviews, reshooting, recasting….
But after finishing painfully the drama in 3 gos. First one I watched the 4 first episodes and then a few weeks later the next 4 and I came back went the drama was over to watch the last 2. Unfortunately the first episode was the best.
Most scenes take place in the office where they are focused on making beer…which for me it’s such poor taste mixed with a pregnancy story. But God knows how much money those beers brands can pull of. Very fast the show lost the promise and went to a boring office romance with an evil character. The kind of story we have already seen too often. They also threw a love triangle, a cliche trauma and a pathetic evil sister in law. The story ends well but leaves you under whelmed as there isn’t one memorable moment worth watching.
All characters are under-developed, the story felt empty and bland.
So if you want a nice drama with mature love this isn’t the right pick as they just behave like 20 something.
If you want a story about unplanned pregnancy it isn’t the right pick either as after episode 3 that pregnancy is basically a very far subplot.
If you craving for an epic love story it ain’t the right one there isn’t any depth or amazing chemistry.
This drama has nothing special it was delivered without any care or ambition to say something about anything.

Revised Review…
People are giving biased reviews which skews the rating negatively unnecessarily! Keep your biased opinions to yourself and rate it based on the overall storyline and performance. So, what if they had a one night stand which resulted in a pregnancy? That’s nothing new and the fact that she decides to keep the baby is her choice! Why criticize her for it?! Women CAN have a career AND have children as well! What if they actually liked each other from the beginning and now decided to pursue a relationship in spite of the pregnancy?! Stop forcing your opinion and lowering the ratings with your biase!**Revised Review**
After watching 8 of 12 episodes I’ve revised my original review to state that the writers have not developed the characters and storyline sufficiently to merit a 10.

There isn’t much happening in this show, except for a workaholic woman who suddenly gets pregnant!!Tragically, Jang Hui Won is 40-years-old woman, who is single and dedicated to her work. Ironically, her best friends Cha Min Uk & Hwang Mi Ran are also unmarried. While planning for her transition abroad, she meets the male protagonist, Kang Du Jun. Unaware of his real identity, they have a casual conversation, get drunk and end up having a one-night stand. Things go awry when Hui Won discovers that she is pregnant and the father of her baby is the company president. “Positively Yours” isn’t calculative, it is carefully curated and at times, it does seem boring. But if you are fans of the main leads, then you can definitely sit through twelve odd episodes as both protagonists overcome their personal traumas and fears, to form a family unit. I won’t say it was the best, but it wasn’t that bad either!!

MLs journey was so enjoyable, 2ML was so irritating!
I didn't read the manwha and read some negative reviews before I watched it. I like the 2 leads so I gave it a go. I laughed a lot. There were some WTF moments of course but the secretary and MLs interactions were so funny. I liked the first episode how they had a few meet-cutes. However, I thought it was hard to believe that 2 people of that age were relationship shy, but the show gave good reasons for how they had become this way. I liked most of the supporting characters. Mostly they were funny though in some cases too much. The SML was painful. Couldn't really see what either the FL or her best friend saw in him with the exception of his kind nature and the fact that he seemed to be the only male around them. His constant carrying of man bags and sense of entitlement really irritated. (At first I liked how he could stand up to a chaebol but then realised he was just like that, over confident or something fro no reason). Which leads me to the ML. Honestly my fave character. I love the journey he went on. From relationship shy, and women averse to bravely following his feelings and standing up for his lady and baby to be. From his first time seeing her at the hospital he never wavered, in whatever capacity she would let him, he would be her support. He was like this with his niece too, such a refreshing character. Totally not what you would have expected from his initial scenes. He could be so confident and strong when he needed to take charge to being sweet and humble during the press conference.Was this review helpful to you?
quirky, and mostly charmin, but it feels like it borrowed half its energy from a Pinterest board.
✨ THE GOOD (THE SWEET SPOTS):light, breezy, and positive , exactly what the title promises.
the leads have very good chemistry , their moments genuinely feel warm and fun.
some scenes actually made me smile like an idiot, not just shrug and watch.
it’s the kind of show that feels cozy even when it makes weird choices
🙄 THE “COULD YOU NOT?” PACKAGE:
the pacing sometimes moves with the urgency of a goddamn nap.
plot progression feels politely sh*t , like this drama is sipping tea and very unconcerned about being edited.
some character beats are predictable enough you start finishing their damn lines.
🤦 THE “WHY DOES THIS EXIST?” ENERGY:
it leans heavily into other shows similarities to the point where it almost forgets to make things interesting.
great vibes, super weak conflict , or at the very least no true coast to what happends
you watch cute interactions and yes stollen from other shows (busness proposal scenes)… then you’re in another filler scene about how wholesome everything is mostly (i guess the title shall never be forgotten).
💞 THE “IT’S NICE BUT SAFE” DEPARTMENT:
nothing offensive , althought they tried.
nothing shocking, even when it shout some contrevertial stuff ama say
just gentle, mostly comfy tbh, which is fine. but sometimes fine feels like vanilla ice cream with only one scoop.
🎯 FINAL VERDICT:
a soft, cozy rom-com that delivers pleasant vibes… even if it doesn’t give you anything memorable.
✔ Watch if: You want easy feelings, sunshine energy, and low mid drama.
❌ Skip if: You need stakes, tension, or characters with consistent conflict.
🍵 Best paired with: Tea, comfy socks, and zero expectations for intensity ,this one is calm at all coast, cute, and doesn’t sprint.

'POSITIVELY YOURS' makes me feel 'POSITIVELY DEVISED.'
Honestly, the story's theme isn't too bad. A very light storyline that is also quite relatable today. From beginning to end, the series features a realistic plot with traumatic pasts for the main characters, expertly mixed with an abundance of comedic elements. However, the story fell short of expectations, and I was unable to fix the flaw that makes 'POSITIVELY YOURS' watchable casually.Everybody, including the MAIN LEADS, acts well in accordance with their roles. However, they fail to leave a lasting impression on us.
I wish I could include some delightful and appreciative words in my review of 'POSITIVELY YOURS', but I am afraid I cannot.

An okay drama ....
so the first two episodes didn't encourage me to keep going yet I have finished it somehow .before starting this , the plot summary suggested that it was going to be a rom com with some depth to it yet after watching it ended up superficial and rushed for me .
the first thing that didn't work for me was the love triangle , it came out of no where and ended up adding nothing why was it there in the first place " maybe to fill some episodes ?!!".
min uk and min ran may ended have something in the end " they started dating i guess" but of course they also didn't focus on this they just hinted .
we never got to see a proper healing process for du jun or hui won , it just like in the end he was able finally hold her hand and his trauma was healed , of course he visited his brother's grave and his sister in law apologize and told him she forgave him yet it was rushed and as for hui won she gust forgave her mother after all she has done , like she forgot all of that easily .
of course this had a lot of cute scenes that made FL see that ML cared about her and made her want to have a family yet this also had all cliche scenes of a rom com .
for me this was an okay drama , if you want something light and funny give it a go .
