  Absolutely worth watching! Even though the series is still ongoing, I couldn't resist sharing my thoughts. This drama has completely won me over! There's just something about this particular theme that resonates with me. It's charming, original, and a joy to experience. The storyline is impressively crafted, seamlessly unfolding without any unnecessary detours. Sure, there are moments that might make you cringe, but hey, that seems to come with the territory of cdramas. The chemistry between the lead actors, Yu Wen and Zi Qi, is...

  simply perfect - like a culinary masterpiece. It's delightful to see them collaborate for the second time as an on-screen couple! I appreciate how this series feels like a natural extension of their previous work in "Once we get married," especially with the introduction of their son. To all my fellow c-drama enthusiasts, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this a watch - it's a gem worth your time!

  The Drama of ReflectionsThis TV series delves into the lives of a group of strong, independent women who initially seem self-sufficient and uninterested in relying on men. However, as the storyline progresses, it explores the theme that women may struggle without male intervention. Despite aiming to highlight the challenges faced by women, particularly single mothers, the narrative ultimately glorifies traditional family values.
  
  The characters in this series are intriguing and well-crafted, with the lovable ones being genuinely endearing while the despicable ones are easy to...

  despise. Each character has their shining moments, although some of the supposedly lovable characters exhibit inconsistent and immature behavior, except for the lead female protagonist and a certain child character who display a higher level of maturity.
  
  The dynamics between the main couple oscillate between playful banter and heartfelt chemistry, which culminate in some genuinely passionate moments. The interactions involving the child character are heartwarming and might even induce cringing reactions, but the child's charm and the father-son bond are among the series' highlights.
  
  A standout scene involves the shattering of glass, adding a visually striking moment to the series. While the portrayal of characters with a hereditary medical condition as more than just their illness is commendable, the handling of discussions and depictions related to the condition may provoke frustration in viewers.
  
  Despite its mix of positive and negative aspects, including moments of cringe, this series features solid acting performances, engaging chemistry between characters, and a storyline that has the potential for improvement.

  This analysis may reveal some details about the storyline.
  
  Venturing into a promising premise, the familiar faces in the cast hinted at an engaging rom-com experience that ultimately fell short of expectations. The messy script demanded frequent fast-forwarding through episodes, saved only by the exceptional talent of the child actor who outshone the adults with charisma and wit, shouldering much of the show's charm alongside the leads.
  
  Highlights were scarce amid the chaos, with the child actor standing out for bringing reason to his parents' tumult...

  and the leads charming viewers with their chemistry and comedic timing. The supporting cast sparkled in their solo moments but faltered when the script forced contrived interactions, derailing the promising narrative that traversed past traumas to present growth and understanding, punctuated by illuminating flashbacks.
  
  While the script brimmed with potential, its execution left much to be desired. The strained dynamic between the leads, marred by a lack of character evolution and repetitive obstacles, stifled the narrative's momentum. Secondary romances felt forced and incongruous, detracting from the central storyline rather than enhancing it, leaving viewers puzzled by the unconvincing pairings and unwarranted developments.
  
  The sudden transformation of a peripheral character into a malevolent force in the eleventh hour felt jarring and unearned, diverting attention from other unresolved plot threads and introducing unnecessary tension. The hasty reconciliation between the leads lacked subtlety and emotional depth, undermining the protagonist's growth and complicating the narrative resolution.
  
  While the show may appeal to those drawn to convoluted plots, its redeeming quality lies in the endearing performance of the young actor, a beacon of light in an otherwise lackluster production. Despite its merits, the series may not resonate with all viewers, offering a cautionary tale of missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential in the realm of romantic storytelling.
