It was fun at first
Only reason I watched this was to Jang Na Ra. The sorry was interesting at first and I binge watched till the 10th episode. I watched 11th episode and felt like the show began loosing focus and so do I. I would recommend you to give it a try. Cause the story was good for the first 10 episode. I dropped it cause i think 11th 12th and 13th episodes were just way too boring. The cast was good but I didn't like the main actor don't know why but he felt unnatural.In conclusion idea of the story is good but story getting boring later on. Cast is good. I recommend you to give it a try you might like it more than me.

Beautiful & breathtaking.
I have been watching one episode each night, and every single episode has been so beautiful. The storyline touches on some serious subjects, but there is also light hearted ness and a cute comedy to the series. The storyline is consistent, and there is always something interesting happening. I find that it isn’t lacking at all and the actors are really, very good. There isn’t one character I don’t like and the supporting actors are so charming and cute. Some scenes are so beautiful, regarding the scenery but also with what is going on with the storyline, between the leads. I’m going to remember this drama for a very long time, and cherish it as one of the most beautiful dramas I have seen. Definitely recommend.Was this review helpful to you?

A take on mature love and relationships for women who are still looking for their path in life
When I watched this Drama, the first few episodes hit me like a trainwreck because it conveys exactly my thoughts as a career woman who is still figuring out what path in life to take.Tackling motherhood and the balance you want to achieve while having a career is a tricky one. Partly because most paint it as something glamorous superhero style, or as a comedic tragedy of errors. In reality, it's not - a lot of times you will find yourself doubting the path you've taken, and you will be faced with a lot of sacrifices along the way. It's refreshing to see that in this drama it portrays that type of slice-of-life narrative that each person has their own story and struggle in the life they've chosen, including being a mom or being a career-driven woman who wants to be a mom.
The drama isn't without faults though - in the middle, you would find yourself very annoyed in the men in Ha Ri's life because they can't seem to grasp their own realities. They think that they're doing their best for her but ends up in the opposite direction. They eventually have their own fixes, but it might be less conclusive than others would think of.
However, I would highly advise you to stay for Ha Ri and her mother's story. Their relationship seems so complicated, but as you get older and wiser, that truly is how your relationship with your parents unfold. There will be a lot of questions you can get answers to, and a lot of misunderstandings get cleared up. The love they have with each other is so touching, you will want to hug your own parent right after this.
Contrary to a lot of people's expectations, this romance between Ha Ri and her main male lead (which you'll learn more about later on) actually is less of skinship and more affection for each other. Which in reality, is also very true. As you get older, your desire for a more intimate relationship gets more private. It's not to say that your sex drive will dwindle, but more of that your focus would be companionship and being comfortable around your significant other and the people that are important to them. You keep the bedroom private, and that's okay, that doesn't mean you don't love each other just because you're not all over your partner.
Lastly, I appreciate how in this drama they have put significant weight on Ha Ri's career, even at the end. She started as someone who worked day and night at her job, and she climbed her way to the top. It would have been more disappointing if the story just sidetracked what she does when it directly affected why she wanted more to be a mom and continued her burning passion for being one.
My Verdict: Watch, and watch with an open mind. What happens in this story is more closer to life than what you think. Especially for women who are still figuring out if they want to settle down or continue the career they want. Being a mother is harder than it looks, but not being a mom is hard too. Ultimately, we are the sum of the choices we have made in life, and it's with the outlook of each individual on how they live with what they currently have.

Sensível e reflexivo
Toda a história mexeu muito comigo: a questão da idade da personagem principal, o sono dela de ser mãe, o debate interno sobre adoção, o problema de saúde, etc.A parte mais triste da história foi quando o namorado vê que seu tratamento não dá resultados e que seu relacionamento poderia ter um fim igual ao anterior por causa da esterilidade, dessa vez dupla...
Esse é um Dorama maduro perfeito para quem se sente na mesma situação dos personagens principais ou algo parecido, traz muitas reflexões importantes.

Wonderful story about two single people finding love and happiness
Likes1. Han Yisang and Go Joon. Yisang's love for maoi statues.
2. The drama wasnt just telling the story of a single lady who wants to get married and have a baby, it also showed that guys also have problems with infertility. And it also showed the different views of people - the struggles of a working mom, and a mom who had to leave the workforce and cant find a job again, to married couple who doesnt want kids. And even fathers who struggle to earn money to fulfill their children's dreams. And mothers who just want the best for her child.
3. The balance between humor and drama. I laughed out loud during the funny scenes and bawled whenever Hari and Yisang cried.
4. The beautiful ost. I wish they release the ost with a photobook!
5. That there are different ways to be happy. And everyone should follow his own path to happiness. It may not be the usual route but we should learn to respect other people's choices without judgment.
Dislikes
1. That they made Jae Young into a selfish annoying second lead. Park Byung Eun deserved better. He could have been the nice childhood friend with a one-sided crush on Hari.
2. The first few episodes when all Hari could think of is to be a mom. That it's her main dream and she wont be happy until she was a mom. I disliked her views on that but the ending when she finally realized she was wrong made it all worth it.
Rating: 9.5/10 (9 for the story plus 0.5 for Yisang )

i found this drama was a mature heartwarming onebut the ML was a bad choice for me
good role with lukewarm acting
his face expression was so cold and couldn't deliver me the right feeling
mainly it was focusing and talked about different kinds of parenting, motherhood problems and work problems
so i saw the romance in it was light and some times lukewarm
normal reactions towards the one you love were extremely absent
the FL's childhood friend was the most selfish and son of a B**** man i've ever seen
he lived his life fully (left her suddenly, married, got a baby, divorced )
then coming back discovering he loved her
trying to interfere every single decision she took
intruding her life and forcing her to choose what he want
taking decision for her by himself thinking that he is doing that for her own benefit OOOOOOOOHHH
what a As***** guy really
he annoyed me till the limit when she refused him i was so happy
and i'm not evil woman in normal life but i was really happy
because many times i want to break the screen from his deeds -_-
he didn't respect her choices at all , while she did towards him
i could consider this drama as a mature light romance
but mainly not romance

Refreshingly Mature Topics & Go Yun. Nuff said.
Full transparency- I just came off The Fiery Priest and was absolutely FERAL to find something else Go Yun stars in. He stole every scene he was in, and I'm amazed I haven't discovered him sooner. He's got more charisma and charm in his left sock than most Idol actors I've recently seen on TV, and I'm honestly gobsmacked by him whenever he's on-screen.OKAY- So, about the series:
I'm not typically drawn to dramedies (I'm more of a grand-scale epic saga or cerebral thriller type), but aside from Go Yun, I adore the cast; particularly, Jo Hee Bong and Park Byung Eun, and I love the more mature topics that I'm surprised to see on Korean airwaves. The series starts off in a quirky-off-kilter-type way, handling Jang Ha Ri's excessive work ethic and problematic reproductive problems with self-deprecating humor, and 2nd hand embarrassment. Jo Hee Bong's character, Chief Nam, was instantly likable and funny to me. I loved his shameless Insta comments on Han Yisang's profile to get him to get in contact. I also love how subversive the series is in handling stereotypical situations; for example, Ha Ri is faced with an uncomfortable situation at work where she wants to intercept a potentially harmful article from getting released and has to face a male peer and their boss. She handles the situation fearlessly and even throws herself onto her boss's couch to force him into complying. I thought it was funny, empowering, and a total boss move. The women in this series are independent, fierce, self-sufficient, and AWARE of their power.
Hari and Yisang have great chemistry. Especially when they bicker. Their quick retorts constantly had me cackling. Their first few interactions are rife with comedic misunderstandings. With her friends, Hari recalls a fond memory of her first meeting with Yisang, and it's depicted in her memory as a classic K-drama romance scene with slow-moving snow, and flattering nostalgic lighting, and she was completely swept off her feet when she mistook his Visine drops for tears.
"It was my first time seeing a guy cry. A guy's tears can somehow open your heart." LOLLLL.
Later, as her Chief tries to introduce the two, she takes poor advice from her friend and tries to initiate awkward small talk and {nonconsensual} skinship while Yisang squirms uncomfortably at her terrible flirting before hilariously and savagely shutting her down. Needless to say, they've gotten off on the wrong foot and I think the editing choices throughout the scenes make it so much funnier as I catch myself laughing out loud regularly without feeling like the situation is overtly ridiculous or unrealistic.
Outside of the lens of humor and silliness, there is a very real, very raw sadness that permeates our FL as she tries to have what she wants most in the world, a child. Since she was a little girl, it's all she's ever wanted. We follow her journey and her (sizzling) chemistry with Yisang throughout the series. Her platonic chemistry with the other male leads and female colleagues is also fantastic. I really have to give a lot of props to the writers, because there isn't an episode that goes by that doesn't make me laugh consistently throughout while hitting me in the feels. Time and again, it introduces a typical trope and completely flips it upside down, surprising even the most jaded K-drama viewer.
"The happiest person is a mom. Moms always smile when they see their babies. My dream is to become a mom."
It isn't just about Hari's ever-reaching journey toward motherhood. The show broadens its lens and shows us the intricate interworkings of each character and the journeys they're going through as well. What it's like as a single parent, a divorcee, an aging mother, an older bachelor afraid to start again. It's life and all of its machinations, day to day, relentless and without prejudice, while we try to surf the tide and find our way toward happiness.
I highly recommend this series, and not just because you get to look at Go Yun's face for 16 glorious hours.

This idea would seem a bit novel but it has been in our respective societies ever since women have stepped out of the house to earn a living. You won't believe how common marrying at the evening stage of life has become. This is a fictional story of 39 years old single woman who loves children, working for a magazine focused around babies and mothers wanting to have her own baby someday finding out that the time is ticking and she has a slim chance of getting pregnant by each day passing. She is mortified by coming across this reality so much so she is ready to skip the part of marriage and directly getting into motherhood. Now, I am sure that in the upcoming episodes we will see how she gets choose one out of 3 men pursuing her but what will be interesting to watch is how a woman in her late 30's struggle with society stigmatizing her for being single up to that age, having a prejudice against her having a baby without marriage, her struggles dealing with the judgemental looks of the men coming across the idea of her wanting to have a baby out of them and her complications when she bears a baby (which I hope happens). It's a must-watch for the fact that we all are kind of dealing similar situation ourselves if we're in the age bracket of late 20's to early 40's and yet to find the perfect partner and rear a family. I am writing this review based out of 2 episodes which I enjoyed. I will be updating when I have advanced with more episodes. Was this review helpful to you?
Gosto muito das interpretações da Jang Na Ra, ela nunca decepciona na interpretação, como ela ama escolher personagens "coitadinhas" rsrsrs. Drama com ela é sempre garantia de que terão situações embaraçosas, extremamente vergonhosas mas que te farão sorrir de tão sem noção.
Simpatizei com a protagonista e o protagonista que a princípio parece um cara frio e distante se torna um personagem muito fofo ao longo da trama. Até o episódio 11, estava legal e fácil de acompanhar mas novamente aqui encontramos aquele lenga-lenga de situações que poderiam ser facilmente resolvidas mas que se prolongam para render episódios, a protagonista também muda de ideia na reta final da trama, isto me decepcionou muito. Estava preparada para dar um 8, acabo dando um 5 pelo final mesmo, é uma pena que o feminismo começa a aparecer cada vez mais frequentemente nos K-dramas. Sou totalmente a favor da mulher ter seu lugar de destaque no trabalho, receber um salário justo compatível ao seu cargo, mas o pensamento de que a mulher é melhor do que homem é errado, ninguém é melhor do que ninguém e também ninguém é feliz sozinho, nós vivemos em sociedade, todos precisamos dos outros, as pessoas precisam de família, a família é a base da sociedade.

Resenha Oh My Baby
MINHAS IMPRESSÕES DE OH MY BABYVou confessar que quando li a sinopse desse drama não achei nada interessante. Me lembrou muito um filme brega com a Jeniffer Lopez chamado: Plano B. Como se não bastasse, isso ainda me remeteu a outro filme que assisti uns tempos atrás que igualmente não gostei.
Enquanto Oh My Baby estava lançando, nenhum comentário a repeito da historia me estimulou a ver. Sequer coloquei na minha lista de pretensões futuras porque mesmo depois de um tempo não mudei de ideia sobre ele.
Dai você já pode imaginar que eu não tinha qualquer expectativa sobre ele. Mas eu estava na vibe de assistir uma comedia romântica e depois de rodar o catalogo do viki por um bom tempo sem não encontrar nada do meu interesse, acabei dando um tiro no escuro dizendo "vai você mesmo, pelo menos tem uma atriz que gosto no elenco, então vou ignorar a sinopse e partir nessa jornada".
E olha eu até me surpreendi quando comecei a ver, porque percebi que o drama era melhor do que a péssima imagem que eu tinha sobre ele. Sim, em alguns momentos tenho essas percepções ruins sobre alguns dramas, e por incrível que pareça raramente fui surpreendida positivamente quando senti isso.
SOBRE O DORAMA EM SI
Os primeiros episódios foram divertidos e me deixaram animada para maratonar sem dificuldades até o episódio 11. Depois disso vieram aquelas velhas enrolações no relacionamento do casal para cumprir tabela. O que fez o ritmo diminuir bastante e o meu interesse começou a diminuir na mesma proporção.
Achei a protagonista bem azarada e sofrida no primeiro momento, suas atitudes e sua indecisão sobre o que queria da vida a medida que o tempo passava foi me irritando mais e mais.
Tenho que dizer que essa foi uma das poucas vezes em que simpatizei mais com o homem do que com a mulher. Gostei muito mais do protagonista do que da protagonista. Só tive olhos pra ele. Torci muito para que ele conseguisse ser feliz quando se apaixonou por ela. E me senti indignada quando ela começa a repensar o casamento depois de já ter aceitado o pedido.
O personagem Choi Kang EuTteum começou como um jovem irritante, mas terminou como um homem super fofo, o que foi uma boa mudança.
O PERSONAGEM INSUPORTÁVEL: Yoon Jae Young
E o que foi aquele amigo de infância insuportável?
Fiquei indignada com esse personagem, ele era tão espaçoso, folgado, inconveniente, mesquinho e irritante que merece ganhar o título de cara mais chato da dramaland.
Em vários momentos esse sujeito inconveniente me fez querer invadir a cena só pra lhe bater. Seu egoismo me tirava do sério. Ele agia como se ela fosse sua propriedade, como se tivesse algum tipo de "direito de preferência" como par romântico só porque lhe conhecia há muito tempo.
Me diz uma coisa sujeito, se você gostava tanto assim dela porque se casou com outra no passado? Por que chegou ao ponto de cortar a amizade com ela só porque sua companheira pediu? Depois de tanto tempo você magicamente resolve dizer que a vê romanticamente e que ela precisa namorar com você só porque ela esta desesperada para realizar o sonho de ser mãe antes que fosse tarde demais?
O FINAL
Mais uma vez me entregaram justamente o tipo de final que me desagrada. Não consigo ver com bons olhos certas atitudes de alguns personagens e naquela altura do campeonato ver uma mulher de 40 anos agindo como uma menininha de indecisa e insegura de 18 anos me tirou do sério. Francamente quando os dois finalmente superam os obstáculos invisíveis para que ficassem juntos no último episódio, ela me vem com uma história de que não queria se casar com ele, como assim? Por quê aceitou o pedido dele então? Outra coisa, um pouco antes disso, porque raios ela começou a fugir dele quando soube que seria pedida em casamento?
Não tenho como descrever seu comportamento com outra palavra que não seja: patético. Cheguei ao ponto de torcer para que o protagonista jogasse tudo pro ar. Ele sempre demonstrava tanta preocupação em atender as expectativas dela de ter um filho e eu não via uma contrapartida a altura da parte dela.
No final das contas não vi a mesma garra que ela demonstrou no incio da história, ela sonhava em ser mãe, tinha coragem suficiente para cogitar a ideia de realizar uma inseminação artificial e enfrentar todo o preconceito que sofreria ao se tornar uma mãe solteira, mas no meio do caminho é como se ela tivesse se perdido. Se apaixonou por um homem infértil e sequer tinha forças para tentar superar essa barreira com ele.
