Wasn’t This Supposed to Be a Co-Parenting Drama?
My rant about this drama (Spoilers ahead — read at your own risk).
Honestly, I liked this drama from episodes 1 to 5, but after that it went downhill for me. I started feeling like the drama wasn’t really about co-parenting or about U Ju and how his uncle Tae Hyeong and aunt Hyeon Jin raise him after their older brother and sister pass away. Instead, it felt more like a story about the second male lead, Yun Seong, trying to win back his first love, Hyeon Jin.
The love triangle started around episode 5. At first it wasn’t that bad — I could tolerate that much — but it kept dragging on until episode 10. Half of the episodes felt like they were centered around Yun Seong. At times it even felt like he was the male lead. I’ve never disliked a second male lead this much — not even the red-flag ones. I actually started hating seeing his face on screen, and now I don’t think I’ll be able to watch any drama where he’s the SML or even the ML.
His constant meddling and forcing his presence into their family matters made me even more annoyed. Now I understand why I stopped watching Korean romcoms. The writer really did a great job of making me want to avoid this genre in the future.
Also, the guardianship storyline in the last episode should have happened in the middle of the drama — maybe around episodes 7 or 8 — but instead they decided to put it in the final episode.”
Favorite Scene
In the last episode when everyone was preparing for U Ju’s 2nd birthday party. I loved how everyone came together to celebrate his birthday. I also liked the flashbacks of Tae Hyeong and Hyeon Jin’s older brother and sister. And the quote at the end was really touching.
