Predictable, weak romance, stiff acting

The story had a premise I actually would have enjoyed, but the execution was unfortunately very predictable and often felt boring. Even though the episodes were only around ~25 minutes long and mostly focused on relevant scenes, they still somehow felt slow.

The main couple was probably my biggest problem. I genuinely didn’t understand what they liked about each other. Most of their conversations were just about work, the baby, or how much they loved each other, without really showing any chemistry or connection. Their relationship also progressed ridiculously fast considering how little time they had actually spent together. I mean, they barely knew each other before getting engaged, moving in together and meeting each other’s parents.

Also, the very beginning of the drama had me questioning the writing immediately. In episode 1, she literally says that she has no value as a woman, and his response is basically to "kiss" her, they sleep together, and two months later she’s pregnant. Like… what exactly was I supposed to take away from that? 😭
It felt like the drama created a very weird connection between her insecurity about her worth as a woman and becoming pregnant.

I did like the FL actress. She’s a good actress, although her character was written way too naively and weakly for my taste. The ML, on the other hand, really struggled with acting. His posture and movements were so stiff that he sometimes looked like a robot or a statue, which made it difficult to take some scenes seriously. The 2ML was the complete opposite and way too dramatic with his facial expressions.

There were also so many typical drama misunderstandings and forced conflicts, especially with the FL constantly feeling guilty and making decisions based on that guilt.

The production itself was definitely one of the strongest points. The picture quality and camera work were good, and at least the short episodes made it fast to get through.
