The plot & writing are not good; way, way too much time is spent on 2ML who has no chance with FL (I’d say there’s more FL+2ML then FL+ML); and things are just illogical (and not in a good way). It also differs a lot from manhwa, apparently.

It’s not good. It takes a lot for a K-drama with pretty popular actors to be rated at 7.3 on MDL. Not that MDL ratings are always reliable, but they are a pretty good indicator in this case 🙄

Definitely do NOT start this. I didn’t read the manhwa, so I can objectively say this drama is not good. It’s way worse than Dynamite Kiss or Would You Marry Me (to name a couple recent romcoms).
An interesting ongoing romantic K-drama is Our Universe but only 4 of 12 episodes are out (Wednesday & Thursday we will have episodes 5 & 6).

It’s #1 on Viki too, although Viki’s Top 20 isn’t an indicator of quality — #2 is Positively Yours 🙄🫣

This is one of those dramas, where love triangle makes sense. FL & ML live together & raise the baby due to special circumstances and not because they like each other (matter of fact, they dislike each other after their initial encounter). And 2ML & FL are each other’s first loves and still have feelings for each other. So this is not an example of a silly love triangle like in Positively Yours or Dynamite Kiss; in those dramas it was very clear from the start that 2ML had no chance at all.

This drama becomes better & better with each episode but it’s so full of heartbreaking stories 😢

Or, at least, “oppa” 🙄

We can only hope the actors got paid well to do this 🙄

It’s not going to get better, sadly 🙄😥

Sigh… sometimes even great actors have projects that end up badly. I think we all would agree that Shin Hae Sun is a very good & popular actress, but she was somehow talked into doing Dear Hyeri which has 7.1 MDL rating and it’s a drama we are all pretending doesn’t exist 🙄🫣

Some people dislike just how much was changed from the source manhwa but, even without that, the drama is very average (and maybe even below average) in its plot & writing. Very sad to see given pretty good cast.

The original had younger characters, right?

The creators care about overseas viewers a lot :) They don’t want us to watch it at 4-5 am and be sleep-deprived 😁🤣

Yes, it’s very strange that the son’s wife is so powerful. In all other dramas, family usually tries to suppress or — at least — minimize the role of non-family members in situations like this.

I think the first batch of episodes (1-6?) dropped at 11 pm EST / 10 pm CST / 8 pm PST; then it switched to 5 am / 4 am / 2 am respectively. And now it’s back to 11 pm / 10 pm / 8 pm.

Yay, episode 25 is out!

The best part of this drama might be the main OST song that plays in the background often.

Ugh… Tastefully Yours was almost great. BTW, I still don’t understand why FL took the blame for her ex’s error in that drama, it made no sense 🙄

Yes, 2ML’s time with FL should have been way, way less. There’s no romantic tension between them and there is zero chance of them ending up together. So why not focus more on the leads and/or other issues. This is different from, say, “Our Universe” where FL & 2ML were each other’s first loves and still have feelings for each other.

Lol… at least, they should have had 2ML + 2FL be a couple right away
