NOT PERFECT BUT OK
A drama presented as family-friendly and romantic, which had been on my watchlist for a long time. Between the cast, a plot that seems likely inspired by Life as We Know It, and the drama's carefully chosen color palette, everything pointed to a sure thing.
I was quickly drawn in, touched by the connection between the two leads and the baby. Even though I know that such a young cast can be a double-edged sword for ratings—which the results in South Korea seem to confirm—I still kept watching, as their chemistry was so magnetic and heartwarming.
However, some flaws eventually emerged. The second lead became particularly omnipresent. While I was delighted to see Park Seo Ham in a drama again, his character sometimes took up too much space, encroaching on the development of the main romance.
Then another flaw became apparent: the educational aspect, though central, seemed present without truly being so. The child often took a backseat, entrusted to various strangers, while work and the love triangle increasingly dominated the young woman's life. It was at this point that many viewers lost interest.
Personally, I persevered, convinced that the drama would eventually redeem itself. And indeed, it did… late, very late indeed—but the wait was worth it. Once the romantic entanglements were finally resolved, and after a few family dramas involving the lead's father, the story finally tackled a crucial issue: child custody and the legitimacy of raising the child.
These last two episodes managed to touch my heart and right the ship, delivering the emotion we'd been waiting for from the start.
So yes, it's not perfect. Yes, some viewers didn't connect with the cast or the sometimes disjointed storytelling. But it's far from a disaster, especially with such a touching ending. A must-see drama… even if it might not be one you'll rewatch. ✨
