I'll start off my admitting that the drama's premise isn't really my thing - heavy on the romance & ft life experiences (wanting a baby & marriage) that I don't really care about too much atm - but I checked it out because Jang Na Ra has the kind of charisma that can carry quite literally anything.

And I got all the way to episode 10 so clearly whatever she's doing worked (though I did watch 6 of those 10 eps on 2x speed...) She gets 1 star, Go Joon gets 1 star, Jung Gun Joo gets 1 star and the lil baby gets 1 and a half because she deserves it.

Anyway there will be plenty of people who will love this and there's nothing all that offensive about it. It's a sweet drama, Go Joon is surprisingly super cute - compared to previous villain roles - and the third male lead and his very feminist but clueless approach is just downright adorable (I didn't ship him with Ha Ri but he's my personal favourite).

In the end I was just bored. I kind of wanted more angst and dilemmas about Ha Ri's struggles with wanting motherhood despite time running out and more focus on unconventional motherhood in general, but instead I got heavy focus on the love story (not bad just bland). I was expecting the love triangle obviously, but I was hoping for a better balance between the two main plot threads and disappointed I didn't get it.

Ah - and the second ML absolutely sucks. A female character in his position would be vilified & villainised by the drama but his interfering, whining pettiness and inability to understand boundaries or what the word "no" means are being portrayed as... pitiful instead? I get the impression I'm supposed to somewhat sympathise. The double standard is gross because I'm never expected to sympathise with a second FL who has EXACTLY THE SAME story arc and characterisation. I'm glad most fans also clearly dislike him, now it's time for the writers to catch up.
