I had been saving this drama for when I felt like I needed a really good binge. The reviews were always glowing and it’s been highly recommended. It felt like a win win. Apparently, my expectations were simply too high but this wasn’t what I expected at all.

Reading comments and reviews, I’m shocked the whole getting her mentally 7 yo son married off isn’t talked about more. How is everyone just ignoring that? It’s so gross. Sure, she didn’t want to leave her son alone after she passed, I can understand that. But that’s not the solution we should all just accept. It’s so beyond twisted I don’t understand how anyone could look past it and say this drama was a masterpiece 10/10! There’s no amount of cultural differences that will make it make sense.

The entire drama the mom was horrible to her son and just when you thought she learned something from it, she’d turn around and do something else just as bad. Are people really so twisted that they see her actions as love? Abuse isn’t love. Withholding food isn’t love. This mom was an abuser until the bitter end and the audience was ok with it because that was her way of loving him?

Solid acting though so I that counts for something.

What did I just watch?

I’m surprised to see so much hate for the FL. I thought the reasoning behind the breakup made complete sense and it’s very realistic. I don’t see her as bratty or trash. She’s just trying to figure out her life. They both loved each other and that was clear. But for her it was becoming exhausting trying to match calendars while also trying to make a career for herself. Sometimes you can only do so much, her breaking up with him early on was the kindest thing she could do. The alternative was him always being let down because she put her career first.

Yeah I struggled hard with where to land on the rating. For me your basic nothing special but entertaining enough drama is a 7. So really I should have gave this around a 4-5. But, when the ML finally had his 30 min moment and found out about what his brother went through, it was emotional. This drama lacked emotions of every kind so because it made me feel something other than annoyed, I thought it counted for something and pushed to the 6.

Glad someone else is wondering how that math works. I cant understand how I can read a comment that trashes the show then see they rated it 8 or 8.5. How does that add up? How are you going to admit at least 1/2 of the episodes were terrible then rate it so well? I see it in other dramas too and it just makes no sense. It’s bizarre.

I gave a very generous 6/10 because I did like the MLs storyline which was arguably the only real impactful part of the drama. The rest was meaningless trash and made zero difference to the storyline.

That’s some serious long game revenge going on. The reasoning is weak though per usual.

I somehow preferred Our Universe to Positivity Yours which I dropped at episode 9. Both deviated from what the story should have been but to me the age of the leads mattered in Positivity Yours. They were too old to act so ridiculous. I couldn’t take it anymore. In this one, both leads are younger so I’m more forgiving when they act foolish.

Plus, the filters on Positivly Yours hurt my eyes. Especially the FL. She looked so airbrushed it was distracting.

A generous 6/10 because the ML had actual character development which was fully necessary for the storyline. Plus the baby is adorable. The rest of the drama is just terrible. Nothing else made any sense or barely even mattered.

For me, an average drama that’s a good watch but nothing special is a 7. This was a below average drama that was saved by the ML.

Because the drama forgot what it was supposed to be about.

How are you surprised? Honest question. Have you been watching this drama? Did you read the synopsis?
We all know the 2ML is not end game yet the writers had him stealing the show. For the majority of the show, the FLs time was spent with the 2ML and it gave romance. Now in the final 2 episodes we have this forced relationship between the leads. There was no build up. There was no watching them learn how to navigate their new instant parent roles and the death of their family members. The family aspect we barely got for the ML (arguably the best part of the drama). In the end it’s a show about a girl who couldn’t figure out how to set boundaries with her boss or get her priorities straight. We didn’t sign on for another love triangle. We wanted the drama in the synopsis for more than the final 2 episodes.

I agree, her role in The Witch was like that and it worked for her. She was a recluse and she played the part well because that’s her strength as an actor. I didn’t love the rushed ending but her acting wasn’t the problem there.

Do you remember what show?

Nothing is suspicious about it. The writers just wanted to add more unnecessary drama.

Omg I did the same thing hahaha. it wasn’t until I watched the finale and saw Oppa in there freaking out and saying the same thing over and over and over about the FL cheating and not facing consequences and how it’s not realistic. Like calm down dude, that is in fact realistic. Some people choose to stay, some choose to divorce. It’s all personal and up to the parties involved. I couldn’t respond though, just blocked. cause wtf. I don’t have the energy for such nonsense.

Omg Honour comments were the absolute worst! But, it was helpful they made themselves known though so we could just keep blocking them all. I seriously don’t think I’ve seen such a delusional comment section before. Sure people may disagree and have heated conversations about whatever, but they were straight up nuts!

marking as a spoiler so the comment section looks cleaner.

I’m not an incel and I really didn’t like like Boyfriend on Demand. I quickly grew tired of the virtual dating during the first half and just felt like I was waiting for the show to start. The 2nd half was better but only liking 1/2 a drama isn’t a good drama to me.

100% agree!

I think both can be true. Lack of chemistry between the leads and love triangle fatigue.

For real. We waited ages for the leads to even begin a relationship and now a nonsensical custody battle saved for the finale? Ugh.

Yeah that whole part is completely unrealistic and doesn’t make any sense.
