you’re right maybe this is coming from the whole birthrate being low in Korea and maybe this is their way of…
Thanks for understanding my point — I really appreciate that. And yes, I completely agree that having babies in itself is not wrong at all. South Korea genuinely does need to increase its birth rate if it wants to sustain its society and diaspora in the long run. That concern is valid. What feels deeply wrong, though, is how some of these dramas choose to portray it. Impregnating a stranger because “things just happened,” not using protection — when condoms are hardly expensive even for a poor CEO or a powerful president — and then framing the pregnancy as fate or romance is irresponsible storytelling. Pressuring a woman to carry the pregnancy out of obligation, fear, or social pressure is even worse. And showing her abandoning her life, dreams, and career as if that’s the natural or noble outcome feels like a very outdated, almost medieval mindset — reducing women to child-making machines rather than full human beings with agency. So yes, romance audiences may enjoy it without questioning the logic, but that doesn’t mean the messaging isn’t problematic. Wanting more babies is understandable; promoting it through coercion, negligence, and glorified power imbalance is not.

Is it just me, or is this drama agonizingly painful to watch? It honestly feels like propaganda pushing marriage…
Everyone has different tastes but most people like this drama & chemistry between the leads. It’s a pretty solid romcom with old-school vibes. I think they are leaning into some tropes on purpose — we joke in the comments that FL could drown in a puddle or a tea cup ☕️🤣

No. SFL is cute. You can't hate her lool. You have to approach this series as complete nonesense. You need to remove your brain entirely, not only switch it off. lool. If you can do that, and preferably have the remote to fast forward some stuff, then you will enjoy it. The leads have great chemistry, and there is a lot of fun to be had.

Can anyone tell me why song joong ki made a special appearance on this one? Does that signify that we may have…
I also really want to know this! Just finished it and I assume it was maybe a reference to another drama I haven't watched but am not sure. Please someone- satisfy our curiosity with an explanation!
