From “Our Universe” to a Messy Love Triangle
For a long time I was debating whether to write a review or not. In the end, I decided it was worth explaining why my rating is so low.
First of all, I have to say that the teaser really impressed me. From it, it truly seemed like this would be a warm, cozy family drama, and the beginning was honestly very good.
However, after that the story turned completely upside down, and instead of watching “Our Universe”, it started to feel more like “I Can’t Choose Just One.” At first I tried to be patient and assumed the situation with the SML would be resolved quickly and clearly. But unfortunately my expectations were not met, and instead we got an unnecessary love triangle. The fact that there were more sweet moments between the SML and the FL than between the actual main leads definitely did not add any charm to the story.
I’ll admit that the last few episodes were a struggle to watch. I simply skipped most of the scenes with the SML because, in my opinion, they were completely unnecessary for the story.
Then there was the father storyline. While it at least had some purpose—since already in the first episode we saw the ML’s older brother worrying about their father being released from prison—it still didn’t feel properly developed. And then the child protection services appeared. This storyline should have been part of the plot from the very beginning, but instead it only showed up in the last two episodes. Everything about it felt forced and unrealistic. They had been taking good care of the child throughout the entire drama, and then suddenly—boom—the moment the child services appear, everything turns into unnecessary drama, and not in a good way.
It feels like the writers tried to include too many different storylines, but they never truly connected with each other, even though it would have been quite easy to do so.
I also don’t want to say too much about the acting, but I honestly wasn’t impressed. By the end, there was no chemistry between the main leads at all. To be honest, watching them together felt uncomfortable and even a bit cringe.
It was really difficult to finish this drama. If I had started watching it after all the episodes were already released, I’m pretty sure I would have dropped it. This time I did finish it, but I have to admit I skipped through quite a lot.
I have never rated a Korean drama a 1 before in my life, but this time I will.
Final rating: 1/10.
