My Little Baby (2016)

This was a super cute comedy! It's a 16 episode drama, but each episode is only about half an hour instead of a full hour long, so this one goes rather quickly and does not get dragged out. This is the first drama I've seen the male lead in - and I really enjoyed him a lot! He has a very cute smile and his character was pretty much a Mr. Perfect. He may have been a little bit shy and fumbled his way through learning to take care of a baby, which provided a lot of the comedy, but he was a very loyal and caring person. He had an amazing smile that just lit up the screen, and his interactions with Eun Ae (the baby) were just adorable. I felt like the female lead was a little on the weak side, which was kind of disappointing as I really enjoyed that actress in Let's Eat (btw, the actress that played her friend in that drama is a main actor in this one as well.) Oh Ji Ho as Cha Jeong Han totally carried this coupling. But overall, this was a quick, fun watch. The mom friends that he gained were so funny (especially Boem Soo's mom and her running joke through the series) and provided both comedy and obstacles to overcome. The last 2 episodes were very sweet and induced a few tears (happy ones!) The plot is very simple, but it is a really cute story and I would be willing to watch it all over again.

Note - I didn't give high marks to the music, because honestly, I don't really remember the music in this at all, but the system wouldn't allow me not to rate it.

It was a simple story of a man suddenly having to play the role of a father for a baby. I was able to finish this because I liked the concept of taking care of a baby and learning to be selfless. If you like that type of dramas you might, just maybe, make it through.

However, it didn't feel as if characters were well developed. We meet so many people but at the same time its like we don't really know them and I could not get attached to the characters. Also his story with his first love, the relationship just suddenly seems to spring, when they had so much potential like involving her five year old and creating sweet moments.

This might have been a lot better as a movie than dragging it on by trying to focus on the other characters. The story was about the baby, uncle and first love so in my opinion it should have stayed focused about them.

I also found it annoying that they made it seem like this new dad was better at what he was doing than all the moms that had useless meetings and his first love raising her kid in a childish manner. I guess they wanted to make the dad look better but doing it by making the other people look bad wasn't the best way because it made characters less endearing.

I don't see any reason to re-watch the drama, but it wasn't terrible, so if its on tv i might just let it play in the background.

The idea was there, but the plot wasn't

Before I get into anything, being perfectly honest I dropped and picked up this drama multiple times. I really was just pushing through because I knew Min Jae was in here.

The story is pretty straight forward. A detective named Cha Jung-Han takes in his niece and goes through single fatherhood.

The idea was there, the execution was not. It really is confusing what this drama is trying to be. At first it tries to be a family and comedy drama, but there seems like a weird side plot of romance. The romance didn't make any sense to me and how the main characters knew each other before was even more confusing. Everything just didn't flow or make sense and was so sudden. I also wanted to add, everything was so repetitive. That's why when something was added to the plot it felt so sudden. And there was a few plot holes.

I guess the redeeming factor of this drama was the acting. Everyone was pretty decent. I think if the plot was written better, it would compliment the actors and actresses a lot more and this drama would've been decent. The kids in this drama did pretty well too.

Would I rewatch this series? Not at all. This drama took me forever just to get through the first time. But was it decent? I think it was alright. It wasn't the worst. Personally, I'd give it a 6.0 or a 6.5 out of 10.

This was recommended to me because it was a short drama and I was told that it was pretty funny. Unfortunately, while I found the drama funny, I was not a fan of how mean and vicious the main female lead was to the main male lead. She's over-the-top mean - enough so that I decided it was time to drop this drama. Her character might have changed over time, but for me personally, I didn't feel like tolerating a self-entitled character, so I decided to move on. I *did* enjoy the main male lead's friend who lives with him - he was funny and handsome, which is always nice to see in a drama.

Estava na minha lista há um tempo, mas como vi que sairia da Netflix decidi o ver, ele é engraçado, fofo e bem cotidiano. Amava as comparações do presente do policial cuidado da bebê com o seu passado trabalhando. Aliás achei que o policial Cha teria uma resistência em cuidar da sobrinha, como vi em alguns dramas que tinha o mesmo tema, mas não, desde o início sempre tentou fazer de tudo e aprender coisas novas em prol do bem-estar da bebê, ele é puro coração, só parece durão, mas é um fofo.

Gostei das partes fofas e é bom para passar o tempo, apesar de ter partes que me irritaram e confesso que queria que focasse mais no policial e em Yoon Min, em cenas com os policiais, seria divertido, como um tipo de Três Solteirões e um Bebê ou em filmes de comédia com crianças Também achei a protagonista fraca e imatura, o romance não acrescentou em nada.
