7.9 average rating? GTFO. More than half of these reviews are botted and only cover the first two episodes, which were undoubtedly the best of the series. The show starts off strong but gradually declines week by week. The initial setup is good with Jeju Island and the workplace situation that the FL quickly finds herself in is great. The other mothers she works with round out the group nicely. The actual rom-com is enjoyable up to a point, but then the real plot begins...
Villain 1 is introduced. She is one-dimensional, dull, and lacking any depth. She exists solely to remove the main lead from the company so she can take over. Okay I could deal with that, but the writers had the brilliant idea to add another guy just to help her, but he's equally as one-dimensional and dull. Now you have two idiots taking up time. Yuck.
Then we have the second male lead. My goodness, what were the writers thinking with this character? Initially portrayed almost like a saint at first as a single father is gradually, week by week, written so poorly that the audience ends up disliking him. But why? He was literally handed the woman of a lifetime, yet the writers do him dirty to create unnecessary drama between ML and FL. Another yuck.
By the end of the show, the writers had run out of original ideas and decided to throw every K-drama trope into the story just for good measure. So disappointing.
