Don't waste your time

I love K-dramas but I couldn't stand this one, the first episodes are good but by the 4th you realize that this is basically a single mother surrounded by a bunch of as@#$% specially the guy she's

Really bad acting

[jmccullough-69109 · 5/10 · 9 July 2021]

This show had potential and the female lead was great but the male lead, second male lead, second female lead, the chairman (especially so) and female lead's mother we're all terrible. Really distracted from the storyline. Maybe that's the director's style, I don't know? But it ruined the show. Cheap, haughty, excessive, arm-flailing, eye-rolling and cringeworthy drama that just made them all look ridiculous.

Sexless Virgins

[Park_Min · 3/10 · 20 February 2024]

Even though there was a potential for diving deep into the complexities of modern relationships and societal pressures in Korea, the drama just ended up falling flat, tumbling into this muddy pit of aimless over-exaggerations and forced plot twists. This turned out to be as trashy as you can ever imagine. Every single character listed in the cast was despicable, no exceptions! This kind of set up would've only worked if the drama was a social commentary or satire but it wasn't and it did a very poor job in attempting to be a one. These character had little to no development by the end, they mostly remained the same since they were introduced. The trial over the kid's custody was one of the worst sights of judicial system to be ever portrayed in a drama. A complete joke through and through from both sides.

Good story, poorly executed

This is a very very different type of story that mainly focused on the problems with many Asian conservatives, patriarchal societies where women have lesser agency and freedom.

I started watching this because of No Min Woo (who played the role of Park Tae Yeon) and got disappointed from the beginning. Alert: this is a very stressful drama that addresses serious issues (like ostracism that single mothers face in a conservative society and several double standards that still exist in traditional societies) with silly acting. Idk what happened, that both the male leads and the second female lead were overdoing everything - overacting, exaggerated body language, weird expressions.

I wonder why there is not a single positive character in this drama! Every character in this drama had flaws.

Cha Ki-Young, a strong-minded, wilful, successful news anchor, whose life turns upside down when she decided to have a child out of wedlock. Park Tae Yeon (No Min-woo), a self-absorbed, egoistic, short-tempered, immature guy. Their Getting involved in a casual relationship, not being ready to accept their differences, getting pregnant which lead to series of other troubles. It's not a typical Cinderella-type romantic story, there's something to learn from it for what I continued watching it despite all the horrible acting and I must admit that the ending was not what I waiting for.

Spoiler: It was a matter of choosing between two trashy guys and Cha Ki Young will end up with Jo Eun Cha at the end (who was very villainous from the beginning but later provided support to Ki Young).
