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.

Poor plot
I was going to pass on this because I thought that the Webtoon itself was positively bad, but I gave this a shot because enjoyed “Miss Night and Day” and thought that Choi Jin Hyuk gave a good performance in that. My instincts were correct. The plot is a bit reworked from the Webtoon but not enough to make it worthwhile. I don’t think that I can finish watching this one even if I want to see if my theory about the backstory is correct, It may be a good story for some viewers, but I feel like it’s unrealistic and insulting to women’s intelligence and thought process.Was this review helpful to you?

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!!

Easy-to-watch family rom-series with a (too) classic plot, but an unusual FL.
PLOT: The FL, a workaholic beer designer and anti-marriage, meets a CEO, also a workaholic, with trauma 😉. One drunken night, they have a one-night stand. The FL then discovers he's the new vice president of her company. A month later, she finds out she's pregnant 😉. The ML wants to be responsible and marry her, but she refuses. He'll do everything to protect her and help her pursue her dreams.+++ Choi Jin Hyuk is excellent as usual. I'm not a fan of Oh Yeon Seo (too old for the role), but her independent, strong-willed, and tenacious character is a refreshing change from the typical damsel-in-distress type.
+++ Endearing characters: niece, parents, friends, team.
+++ Directed with a good balance of emotion and humor
+++ Very good OSTs.
### The story is poorly written, with too much clichés, caricatured characters (sister-in-law who should see a therapist, clumsy secretary), childish behavior for adults, etc.
=> An enjoyable series, but not one that will be remembered.
*******************************************
Série Rom-Fam easy-to-watch avec 1 plot classique, mais 1 FL inhabituelle
PLOT: La FL, workaholic conceptrice de bières, anti-mariage, rencontre 1 CEO, workaholic aussi, avec trauma 😉. 1 soir d'ivresse, ils ont une one-night-stand. La FL découvre ensuite qu'il est le nouveau vice président de sa Cie. 1 mois + tard, elle découvre qu'elle est enceinte 😉. Le ML veut être responsable et l'épouser, ce qu'elle refuse. Il va tt faire pr la protéger et l'aider à poursuivre ses rêves.
+++ Choi Jin Hyuk est comme tjs excellent. Je ne suis pas fan de Oh Yeon Seo (trop âgée pr le rôle) mais son personnage indépendant, volontaire et tenace, change agréablement des damsel-in-distress.
+++ Des personnages attachants : nièce, parents, amis, team.
+++ Réalis° avec un bon équilibre émotion / humour
+++ Très bons OSTs.
### La story est mal écrite, avec bcp de clichés, des personnages caricaturaux (belle-sœur qui devrait voir un psy, secrétaire maladroit), des comportements puérils pr des adultes, ...
=> Série agréable, mais qui ne restera pas ds les mémoires.

'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 .

Not Bad

Instead of focusing heavily on toxic competition or extreme conflicts, this drama highlights teamwork, mutual support, and personal growth. The characters are written with warmth, each having their own personalities, dreams, and challenges. Their conversations and humorous situations bring smiles, while the emotional moments add depth to the story. Overall, this drama is a comforting drama that feels like a breath of fresh air. It reminds viewers that work life does not always have to be stressful and exhausting, and that genuine connections can be formed in everyday office settings. With its charming characters, gentle romance, and uplifting message, this drama is perfect for anyone looking for a feel-good story that leaves a positive and lasting impression.

Unexpected
This series left mixed feelings: on the one hand some of the standard kdrama stuff is continuously present, yetmost of the story does not follow the expectd paths; this makes it interesting, because it is fully unexpected.
On the other hand, the story does not go very far, in none if its aspects.
The actors were very well chosen and all of them did a marvelous job!
Personally I appreciate that no teeny looking actors were chosen, maturity was an important factor.
Consequently I have mixed feelings to recommend it too: there are better, there are much worse.

Positively Awful
This is a flop. I’m distracted doing laundry, doing other things on my cell phone and not paying attention to this Kdrama. It lured me in because I like the two romantic leads but not sure they have the chemistry together. But the story has been so boring and not believable. Love Triangle not working. The supporting cast are loud and annoying. I’m up to episode 6 and will just finish this to the end even if I have to skip an episode or fast forward through. This one is no Dynamite Kiss or Idol I, that’s for sure! There’s some really good kdramas and ones that completely flop.Was this review helpful to you?
Positively run far away from this mess
Started somewhat OK, then became a mess of unnecessary misunderstandings. Eventually, the writers tried to resolve every conflict with flash solutions and apologies. Imo, by that time, we were way beyond that point in a lot of these relationships, but I guess the writers had to have their happy ending for all parties involved. Why even bother producing an adaptation of a good webtoon if you're going to change everything about it except the title?Was this review helpful to you?
Is it a cute romcom to watch when bored: Yes ; BUT
Honestly i really liked this drama and would have given it 7 maybe even 9 stars but the problem is that this is an adaptation. I was and am a very big fan of the WEBTOON this drama is adapted from and honestly very sad that they completely rewrote the entire story BUT I also have to say that the new story is a very fun and cute story, it is very catching and honestly I finished this drama in one sitting, it was just that fun to watch. In terms of acting and story it is pretty satisfactory which I am normally pretty critical about so that's good. The story doesn't drag on too long, there are some cliche scenes but let's be honest a romcom without cliche or cringe scenes does not qualify as a romcom in my eyes. The chemistry of the leads was also pretty good in my opinion. The only real complaint I have if we look at the story alone is that they focused too little on the pregnancy, honestly I forgot she was pregnant for like 2-3 episodes, which is pretty bad for a drama BUILT on an accidental pregnancy trope but the rest was pretty okay in my opinion. I still think they should've just had dropped the whole adaptation bit because there is litterally almost like except for one or two things nothing from the original story, which is why I don't understand why they just didn't promote it as a seperate drama.In summary I would say that this is worth a watch, just don't expect it to be the same story as the WEBTOON. That's the only reason for the lost stars :(

Positively average
This is a pretty cookie cutter kdrama.Chaebol ML, check.
Ambitious FL working for his company, check.
FL's guy friend is into her, check.
Secret workplace shenanigans, check.
Evil family corporate sabotage, check.
The execution is decent. If you want to watch a relatively simple office kdrama romance, then this is a fine show. Nothing groundbreaking, but a decent watch. There is a lot of kdrama tropes.
Fine to watch and fine to skip.
My biggest issue is ML being kinda uncharismatic. The FL was ok, though the portrayal didnt completely fit the tone of the show for me.
