The idea of bringing up single motherhood in Korea into spot light was good. But it's nowhere near as bad in reality (I live in Korea). Like believe me there are no ridiculous ajummas who force their (adult, employed) daughters into abortion or stoning of single mothers for choosing not to marry, like just ...no ... stahp. The show was so ridiculous that it was unbelievable and impossible to relate to which broke the purpose. And because it was so exaggerated it felt like the makers couldn't decide whether they want to make you laugh hysterically ad Jo Eun Cha or next moment throw up with disgust from the attitude towards pregnant Cha Ki Yong like I dunno, I had too many moments when I would just turn episode off cuz I needed a break from it.
I started to watch this drama solely because of No Min Woo and his character was so inconsistent and bad that made me kind of turn away from actor which is totally unfair since it's probably how character was written and is not his fault. Also I must note that acting in general was quite suck'ish especially in the first episodes, it got better when the whole drama thing started but first few episodes the story with pregnancy and everything just felt so rushed and out of place I dunno, son. Jo Eun Cha was probably best played character in the end.
OST.... omg.... very limited. A lot of times there was no music where there probably should've been one (to distract from awkward acting) and not even one song was pretty or memorable.
The general feeling of this drama was like watching old like 2005-2008 kind of dramas which are definitely not my taste (Full House.... ugh...)
Also what's up with the name? How is that related to the plot?
All in all I feel like maybe Just maybe if the same concept was pitched at KBS or MBC this could've turned out well and I read many positive reviews about it so maybe just I'm too critical. But for me not even 6. Hopefully next time I'll watch something starring No Min Woo, I won;t be left with bad after-taste.

I know I will get a lot of flame for this as a lot of other reviewers praised for well balanced darkness of the story I instead found it bothersome. I know that extremes of bullying in Korean school and consequences of it should be talked about but for me mixing it with such comedic element was kind of bad taste. It's my personal opinion so if you like the mix of two then this drama will be for you. I still got quite a few lols out of this and GongJoo is goals xDDD
Didn't find music memorable, tho the eerie tune they used really got to me, I was scared I'm gonna have nightmares after this (weak ass nerv system), but I guess fitting for the occasions they used it.
The actors are good. Guy who plays Ahn Dong Chil really makes you hate him with all passion of your soul.
In general as much as I find the story interesting and grabbing your attention again and again the dark eerie moments leave really bad after-taste that's why I can't rate it high. But I guess I just watched this at a bad timing as I was hoping for something else so it doesn't mean that drama is bad. Maybe I should've read some reviews before watching it.
