Nice male lead, bestie and niece ,annoying everything else
I started this craving cliches, an icicle male lead and some mindless nothing. What I got was an adorable male lead, some decent friendships, several lovable characters and a slightly different take on the oops I got pregnant from a one night stand with the CEO. I also got a lot of over the top characters, a business side plot that gave nothing, absolutely nothing to the plot and an Disney villan of the worst kind making me lower the score over and over again. I also got never ending monologs, preachy moments and people talking as their past selves making me roll my eyes, again and again and again.Add to this that there is a complete disproportion of forgiveness, some are so, so easily forgiven even after years of evil deads and torture others just ok you figured out that what you did was bad, all is forgiven welcome to the family... Wait what?
The male lead lovely as he was just could not up the score enough for me to be able to fully recommend it but if you are in the mood for Ooops I got pregnant by the amazing CEO it kind of does the job, just mind all the other stuff.

Easy to watch - no expect romance
The actors are all good, and the drama is best watched from episodes 7 to 12. The ML is very good, while the FL remains flat and passive almost until the end. Some people said the female lead needs to act this way to highlight the differences from Western dramas, but pairing a prudish woman with a committed, good guy until the end makes little sense and can make you lose interest. As for the romance, don’t expect much, especially in the way of affection or kisses. They show that the couple cares for each other and has a good group of friends at work. The beer product theme is interesting, and the boyfriend is supportive of his girlfriend's career. The best episode is the last one, when you see them as a couple with their baby; it wraps things up nicely for everyone.The script wasn’t very good.

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.

Very cliché but enjoyable
Nice to watch, funny, fluffy romcom cliché to perfection which gives old dramas vibes. But despite the fact that I like the actors, it still lacks a certain pep to get you fully into it. I'll say maybe because the show was too predictable, still enjoyable nonetheless. I enjoyed the characters dynamics and how each remained true to their personality till the end. Also loved the friendships between the leads and the supporting characters.Was this review helpful to you?

Hui Won's mother can catch these hands
I really enjoyed this. I was looking for fun romcom and really liked this one! The characters were mostly enjoyable, and it has some genuine funny moments as well.I really liked Du Jun and was happy he wasn't your typical cold tsundere style CEO. I liked that we got to see his goofy and caring side right away. I loved seeing him with Se Hyeon as well, it was so cute! I really like Hui Won too! I love that we got see different sides of her including her internal struggles about whether to keep the baby or not, and even when she decided to keep the baby, her questioning if she would be a good mom or not. A lot of her struggles were really nice to see because I feel like they aren't topics brought to light very often in media. I love the two of them together as well!
Se Hyeon was my favorite character! I just loved her! I loved that she wasn't afraid to go against her mother for what is right. I loved Mi Ran, Min Uk, and the coworkers as well!
For characters I didn't like, obviously I didn't like Jeong Eum. She was awful. Even though I didn't like her, I will say she made a great villain. I liked that she turned herself in at the end too. Moving onto Hui Won's mother...literally fuck her. She was an awful and abusive mother, and I absolutely hate how she was just forgiven in the end. This was the biggest thing I didn't like about this show. She never admitted to being abusive, never realized she was awful to her daughter, never apologized...NOTHING!! AND YET SHE WAS FORGIVEN?! WHY?! The reason her being forgiven being because Hui Won is becoming a mother is the dumbest thing ever. She shouldn't be in Hui Won's life at all. She has no self-reflecting or character growth at all. I hated that she was forgiven so much.
I do wish they gave Hui Won a baby bump, but that's not super important. I loved the time jump so we could see how they were doing as parents as well as what everyone else is doing. Love that she was pregnant in the end again too!

Interesting
After a long break I see a typical korean drama with good act, screen play and casting. Please watch this drama and it definitely won't disappoint you. It's a one line story but they made it with interesting way. Both the artists are playing very good and expressive. Making me eager to watch the next episode.Was this review helpful to you?
A whole lot of nothing ....
I came across a little bit of a trailer before starting this drama, and I was quite eager to watch it; in fact, I waited for it to be over so I could binge-watch it. However, I was quite disappointed. There were so many things about the drama that did not just sit right. I felt very unenthusiastic to the point that it took me about 5 episodes to even get interested in the story. I watched the first episode, and I was not grabbed by the story or the acting, but sometimes you have to watch another episode before you judge it, so I watched another, then another, until I was about 5 or 6 episodes in, and I was still not liking what I was watching. There was something about the story that just did not work, and although there are quite a lot of series with rich CEOs and struggling employees, this felt like it lacked enthusiasm. Although the whole pregnancy could have made this more interesting, there was something about the way the actors executed that felt low energy. I have watched other work with the male lead, and I was pretty disappointed that this drama didn't work the way I expected. I honestly don't know if it was the acting, the story, or the chemistry; it lacked a lot and just was not driving enough. There were lots of scenes that felt connected just because, and there was no proper flow. For example, the fact that the male lead could not touch someone's hand yet he managed to get someone pregnant...like how? And also the revenge was lightely exciting, but once they revealed the reason behind it, it felt not strong enough.Was this review helpful to you?
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?

Feminist Wish-Fulfillment Fantasy
Positively Yours sells a feminist wish-fulfillment fantasy: pregnancy changes nothing, the rich CEO becomes endlessly patient, and a second man keeps waiting despite knowing the child isn’t his. Two single men competing for a pregnant woman — not as conflict, but as convenience.By episode 5, the story refuses to acknowledge real consequences. Rejections repeat without evolution, the love triangle feels artificial, and characters stop behaving like adults. This isn’t heightened melodrama — it’s reality bent out of shape so the romance can keep going.

ABSOLUTELY F NO
Contemplated watching this show till the end just because, but i just reliased no one is forcing me to continue this. As someone who didn't read the webtoon and just watched this drama cause i am a fan of the FL everything in this show after episode 2 is just not worth it. To be frank i know it's only February but we may just have our top contender for worst korean drama of the year. Because how do u mess up such an interesting direct storyline like Unexpected pregnancy and One night stand. This is literally one of the easiest tropes to make because u don't even gotta do much just literally show us how it happened and how they decide to handle the situation. The thing that baffles me even more is u literally had a direct Webtoon to follow that people loved so it's not like u had to use ur head to come up with new details u literally quite simply had to follow the book. And why is our female lead dressed like a Grandmother? Do the writers think women in their 30s and 40s give up on style once they reach that age because why even the Female leads best friend and the Male leads niece are outdressing her i would even go as far as to say the Sister in Law was outmogging her in style each episode. How do u turn one of the most beautiful actress in Korea into a frumpy Ungodly sight? Poor girl was using her face card and had nothing else to offer. And as for the ml i don't even have an actual opinion on him that's how boring he was for me absolutely bland stereotypical annoying mess in fact everyone in this show was just annoying especially the sister in law i mean if u want to create a villian create one with an actual reasonably reason to hate u would have been better if it was the ML mother or Father or someone else rather than her. Also why are Korean dramas obsessed with the idea any man around u especially ones who have been with u seen u were little are automatically in love with you? Same as dynamite kiss. Why are Platonic male and female friendships some sort of rare commodity tbh i would be pissed if my friend whose had years of time and didn't confess says something when i finally get a man in my life because tf no should have done that longgg timee ago I'm already taken. I don't even know what to say from the terrible domestic ratings, incompetent writing and very conservative fan base this show is just an absolute complete mess.I am of the opinion u could gather 5 random users on this platform and they would create a better storyline than this but well whats done is done.
Also shout out to the sexiest messiest loudest most dramatic conservative comment section i have ever witnessed on this platform. I thought i had witnessed it all but well this comment section proved me wrong some of yall are really stupid.
A woman can and should always have the right to choose what to do with her body argue with the walll.

This Drama Should Be Called "Inspired by" NOT Adapted!
I gave this drama a chance even after they changed Jang Hee Won's job, because I love the original webtoon.The critical issue highlighted in the webtoon is about a teacher who ends up in a shotgun wedding, however they changed into another classic office romance.
They also change Kang Do Joon's life by adding some traumatic past, and the moment I saw Kang Do Joon's throws fit, I'm not longer acknowledged that this drama is an adaption from webtoon.
Too bad they changed the story and the character too much til there is not a single main point from the webtoon included in it.
I don't know if none webtoon readers will enjoy the drama, but if you are liking the drama, i'm not advice you to read the webtoon before the drama ended to spoil the fun ^_^

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 :(
