Revised Review…
People are giving biased reviews which skews the rating negatively unnecessarily! Keep your biased opinions to yourself and rate it based on the overall storyline and performance. So, what if they had a one night stand which resulted in a pregnancy? That’s nothing new and the fact that she decides to keep the baby is her choice! Why criticize her for it?! Women CAN have a career AND have children as well! What if they actually liked each other from the beginning and now decided to pursue a relationship in spite of the pregnancy?! Stop forcing your opinion and lowering the ratings with your biase!**Revised Review**
After watching 8 of 12 episodes I’ve revised my original review to state that the writers have not developed the characters and storyline sufficiently to merit a 10.

Poor plot
I was going to pass on this because I thought that the Webtoon itself was positively bad, but I gave this a shot because enjoyed “Miss Night and Day” and thought that Choi Jin Hyuk gave a good performance in that. My instincts were correct. The plot is a bit reworked from the Webtoon but not enough to make it worthwhile. I don’t think that I can finish watching this one even if I want to see if my theory about the backstory is correct, It may be a good story for some viewers, but I feel like it’s unrealistic and insulting to women’s intelligence and thought process.Was this review helpful to you?
Positively run far away from this mess
Started somewhat OK, then became a mess of unnecessary misunderstandings. Eventually, the writers tried to resolve every conflict with flash solutions and apologies. Imo, by that time, we were way beyond that point in a lot of these relationships, but I guess the writers had to have their happy ending for all parties involved. Why even bother producing an adaptation of a good webtoon if you're going to change everything about it except the title?Was this review helpful to you?

There isn’t much happening in this show, except for a workaholic woman who suddenly gets pregnant!!Tragically, Jang Hui Won is 40-years-old woman, who is single and dedicated to her work. Ironically, her best friends Cha Min Uk & Hwang Mi Ran are also unmarried. While planning for her transition abroad, she meets the male protagonist, Kang Du Jun. Unaware of his real identity, they have a casual conversation, get drunk and end up having a one-night stand. Things go awry when Hui Won discovers that she is pregnant and the father of her baby is the company president. “Positively Yours” isn’t calculative, it is carefully curated and at times, it does seem boring. But if you are fans of the main leads, then you can definitely sit through twelve odd episodes as both protagonists overcome their personal traumas and fears, to form a family unit. I won’t say it was the best, but it wasn’t that bad either!!

Easy-to-watch family rom-series with a (too) classic plot, but an unusual FL.
PLOT: The FL, a workaholic beer designer and anti-marriage, meets a CEO, also a workaholic, with trauma 😉. One drunken night, they have a one-night stand. The FL then discovers he's the new vice president of her company. A month later, she finds out she's pregnant 😉. The ML wants to be responsible and marry her, but she refuses. He'll do everything to protect her and help her pursue her dreams.+++ Choi Jin Hyuk is excellent as usual. I'm not a fan of Oh Yeon Seo (too old for the role), but her independent, strong-willed, and tenacious character is a refreshing change from the typical damsel-in-distress type.
+++ Endearing characters: niece, parents, friends, team.
+++ Directed with a good balance of emotion and humor
+++ Very good OSTs.
### The story is poorly written, with too much clichés, caricatured characters (sister-in-law who should see a therapist, clumsy secretary), childish behavior for adults, etc.
=> An enjoyable series, but not one that will be remembered.
*******************************************
Série Rom-Fam easy-to-watch avec 1 plot classique, mais 1 FL inhabituelle
PLOT: La FL, workaholic conceptrice de bières, anti-mariage, rencontre 1 CEO, workaholic aussi, avec trauma 😉. 1 soir d'ivresse, ils ont une one-night-stand. La FL découvre ensuite qu'il est le nouveau vice président de sa Cie. 1 mois + tard, elle découvre qu'elle est enceinte 😉. Le ML veut être responsable et l'épouser, ce qu'elle refuse. Il va tt faire pr la protéger et l'aider à poursuivre ses rêves.
+++ Choi Jin Hyuk est comme tjs excellent. Je ne suis pas fan de Oh Yeon Seo (trop âgée pr le rôle) mais son personnage indépendant, volontaire et tenace, change agréablement des damsel-in-distress.
+++ Des personnages attachants : nièce, parents, amis, team.
+++ Réalis° avec un bon équilibre émotion / humour
+++ Très bons OSTs.
### La story est mal écrite, avec bcp de clichés, des personnages caricaturaux (belle-sœur qui devrait voir un psy, secrétaire maladroit), des comportements puérils pr des adultes, ...
=> Série agréable, mais qui ne restera pas ds les mémoires.

'POSITIVELY YOURS' makes me feel 'POSITIVELY DEVISED.'
Honestly, the story's theme isn't too bad. A very light storyline that is also quite relatable today. From beginning to end, the series features a realistic plot with traumatic pasts for the main characters, expertly mixed with an abundance of comedic elements. However, the story fell short of expectations, and I was unable to fix the flaw that makes 'POSITIVELY YOURS' watchable casually.Everybody, including the MAIN LEADS, acts well in accordance with their roles. However, they fail to leave a lasting impression on us.
I wish I could include some delightful and appreciative words in my review of 'POSITIVELY YOURS', but I am afraid I cannot.

A whole lot of nothing ....
I came across a little bit of a trailer before starting this drama, and I was quite eager to watch it; in fact, I waited for it to be over so I could binge-watch it. However, I was quite disappointed. There were so many things about the drama that did not just sit right. I felt very unenthusiastic to the point that it took me about 5 episodes to even get interested in the story. I watched the first episode, and I was not grabbed by the story or the acting, but sometimes you have to watch another episode before you judge it, so I watched another, then another, until I was about 5 or 6 episodes in, and I was still not liking what I was watching. There was something about the story that just did not work, and although there are quite a lot of series with rich CEOs and struggling employees, this felt like it lacked enthusiasm. Although the whole pregnancy could have made this more interesting, there was something about the way the actors executed that felt low energy. I have watched other work with the male lead, and I was pretty disappointed that this drama didn't work the way I expected. I honestly don't know if it was the acting, the story, or the chemistry; it lacked a lot and just was not driving enough. There were lots of scenes that felt connected just because, and there was no proper flow. For example, the fact that the male lead could not touch someone's hand yet he managed to get someone pregnant...like how? And also the revenge was lightely exciting, but once they revealed the reason behind it, it felt not strong enough.Was this review helpful to you?

An okay drama ....
so the first two episodes didn't encourage me to keep going yet I have finished it somehow .before starting this , the plot summary suggested that it was going to be a rom com with some depth to it yet after watching it ended up superficial and rushed for me .
the first thing that didn't work for me was the love triangle , it came out of no where and ended up adding nothing why was it there in the first place " maybe to fill some episodes ?!!".
min uk and min ran may ended have something in the end " they started dating i guess" but of course they also didn't focus on this they just hinted .
we never got to see a proper healing process for du jun or hui won , it just like in the end he was able finally hold her hand and his trauma was healed , of course he visited his brother's grave and his sister in law apologize and told him she forgave him yet it was rushed and as for hui won she gust forgave her mother after all she has done , like she forgot all of that easily .
of course this had a lot of cute scenes that made FL see that ML cared about her and made her want to have a family yet this also had all cliche scenes of a rom com .
for me this was an okay drama , if you want something light and funny give it a go .

Unexpected
This series left mixed feelings: on the one hand some of the standard kdrama stuff is continuously present, yetmost of the story does not follow the expectd paths; this makes it interesting, because it is fully unexpected.
On the other hand, the story does not go very far, in none if its aspects.
The actors were very well chosen and all of them did a marvelous job!
Personally I appreciate that no teeny looking actors were chosen, maturity was an important factor.
Consequently I have mixed feelings to recommend it too: there are better, there are much worse.

Positively Awful
This is a flop. I’m distracted doing laundry, doing other things on my cell phone and not paying attention to this Kdrama. It lured me in because I like the two romantic leads but not sure they have the chemistry together. But the story has been so boring and not believable. Love Triangle not working. The supporting cast are loud and annoying. I’m up to episode 6 and will just finish this to the end even if I have to skip an episode or fast forward through. This one is no Dynamite Kiss or Idol I, that’s for sure! There’s some really good kdramas and ones that completely flop.Was this review helpful to you?
? Positively Yours — Simple Love, No Drama (Literally!)
This drama is actually pretty good — and the best part? No breakup-patchup chaos! 🙌 Finally, a romance that doesn’t rely on unnecessary drama to keep things going.The story follows two strangers whose lives get unexpectedly intertwined, leading to a relationship that slowly grows into something meaningful. It’s simple, a little predictable at times, but still warm and comforting to watch.
The plot works, the chemistry is there, and it gives you that soft romantic vibe without stressing you out. That said, the music didn’t stand out much, and personally, I don’t see myself rewatching it.
Still, as a one-time watch, it’s definitely worth it — especially if you’re in the mood for a light, feel-good romance. 💫
P.S. – Sometimes you don’t need complicated love stories… just two people finding each other at the right time is enough. 💛
