Things I adored

1 The 2FL. Such a great character, so grounded and enthusiastic at the same time.

2 The small boy. What a cute boy and what a great actor. His character was my favorite and I adored his relationship with the 2 FL.

Things I loved

1 The beginning. It had so much potential to be funny and interesting

2 The mothers. The ML and FL mothers were absolutely great. I loved their friendship, and how they were there for each other. I also loved the 2FL mother although I wish she could ditch her stupid husband.

3 The mothers' team and how supportive they were with each other. Heartwarming, but also funny and inspiring.

4 The ML. I thought at first I wouldn't like him at all because the actor wasn't appealing to me. But, rare enough to mention it, I warmed on him and I thought his character was great. He did act silly sometimes, but all in all he was decent and funny and never did anything I could blame him. Not even when he thought she was married. He didn't deny his feelings but he didn't do anything to ruin her marriage. I loved how he was with his team and

5 The relationship of the ML with his mother. I loved how he fought about her.

6 Small scenes like when they prepare food, or they are in bed. There were many scenes sprinkled all over I loved.

Things I liked

1 The ending. I know many didn't like the ending, and the amnesia plot. I get it. Personally, I dislike the amnesia plot that lasts, but here it was short and it didn't bother me. I thought it was funny to be honest. I'm all for tropes, so no problem there. The only thing that bothered me is that we didn't have enough time with them being a couple.

2 The FL. I didn't love her. I'm not sure what the problem is. At first I didn't like any of the leads but I more than warmed to the ML while I still found the FL lacking. It's not only bout looks, although yes, I don't think she's attractive. it's more how she played the role. Except from some scenes where she moved me, she was weird. Like when they kissed one time and I thought she was awful. She froze in a weird pose and had a lost look. So uncomfortable. Also, she's un ugly crier and yes, these are details, but they all contributed to think that the 2FL should be the lead.
The series would be wonderful if the 2FL was the FL. better acting chops, much more attractive and also more luminous. Anyway, I didn't dislike her, but I don't think I'll watch another drama with her. As it happens, I've seen another one where she was part of the main cast and I found her a bad actress there as well.

Things I disliked

1 Not enough time with them as a couple. It felt rushed and I don't think it needed more episodes. I need it needed better directing.

2 The FL sister. Yes in the end she tried to redeem herself, but what the heck? How can you be so irresponsible and bring others to your mess?

Things I hated

1 The ML father. Not an ounce of sympathy from me. Such an awful father and person. I would love to see him go to jail.

2 The "sister" of the ML. Not only I thought she was a bad actress but every time I looked at her I had goose bumps because she looked like a mummy to me for some reason. Of course I hated her character and didn't like at all how she ended. I would love for her to pay for her awful actions.

3 The 2FL brother. Well, what else to say about him that he was a poor excuse of a human being. 'm happy he got what he deserved.

4 The 2ML. I can't stretch enough how much I disliked the actor, the character and the hole plot around him. I wasn't happy at all that he ended with the 2FL. She deserves someone who values her and someone who knows how to deal with adults. He may have been a great father but he was a crappy friend and romantic interest. I'm not sure I liked him a single second and I know it's harsh but he rubbed me the wrong way from the start.

5 The whole triangle. What the heck? That was angst for the sake of angst. He could pretend be married to her without having feelings for her. I could have liked him then and the romance between him and the 2FL could have been more interesting, sweet and something to rule for. He was the worst part of the drama. Oh, and an awful actor to top that. I never felt anything watching him. Not even when he was with the kid apart one or two scenes. The FL played the parts with the kid a million times better.

It wasn't a bad drama and it had some funny, inspiring heartwarming moments. It could be better, though. Still, better than many for me and I watched all the episodes which is rare enough to mention.
