The found-family haven I desperately needed
Overall, I really enjoyed this drama. I’m a sucker for found-family tropes, and this show delivers that beautifully.
The story centres on estranged siblings-in-law Hyeon Jin and Tae Hyeong, who are brought together by tragedy to raise their nephew, Seon U Ju. It’s a lovely slice-of-life narrative where the main plot revolves around two people raising a baby that isn’t theirs, and in the process, they end up falling in love with each other.
The sweetness is overwhelming; baby Seon U Ju is adorable, and the relationship between Hyeon Jin and Tae Hyeong develops nicely. Their journey includes the expected highs and lows, which add depth to the love they share.
However, I did have one issue with the addition of Park Yun Seong. I understand the intention to create a love triangle to introduce friction between the main leads, but the execution felt excessive. At one point, Hyeon Jin seemed to have more chemistry with Yun Seong than she did with Tae Hyeong, which felt odd and frustrating as this tension persisted almost until the end. Additionally, the scene involving child services, while necessary for a show like this, felt exaggerated and out of place within the whole plot. I wished it had been modified to focus more on how much they care for the child, rather than on neglect and abuse, which wasn’t applicable in this case.
But, despite these issues, I still loved the drama. They didn’t diminish the overall happiness I felt while watching. I would definitely recommend it!
