Birthcare Center (2020)

an unusual but practical & realistic ( though a comedy ) drama

so .........Hi ! let's get into the drama review . so where should I starts ..ummmm .oh yeah

so this is a very unusual drama . A drama that many people might not like as the story it focuses on is a little unusual . But there is soo much in this drama that deciding this is not your cup of tea without watching at least one episode of it will be a bit sad . ( TMI - I took lessons from the drama bout what you can expect or might face during & after pregnancy :P )

story - so the story focuses on the after birth situation of the parents & those around them in a birth care center like the name of the drama suggests . Now you probably read the synopsis & know about the overall story so i won't be writing more .

acting - now acting of each of the actors are mind blowing . Though they are not pretty famous faces or " hallyu " stars But those who watch dramas very often might know these faces well .Every single one of them are veterans ( though we have 2/3 new faces ) . The dads showed how pitiful they were in front of their wives & their deadly mood swings very well . The moms portrayed the happiness , the pain , the sacrifices so well that one can easily empathies with them

music - now i didn't focus on the osts of the drama which shows why i gave it a low rating .

okay now let's get to the point - the reason i kept the story section short is because if i say my perspective in the story section it will give too much depth which i wanted to save for here . our main character ( one of the many ) hyunjin is a working lady who got pregnant at a late age . It's not like she didn't prepare for the baby but the way she prepared is different from other moms which is why she felt out of place or couldn't agree with the other moms in the center on many topics . she often lost confidence in herself , often questioned herself and her capabilities of being a mother . there were many types of moms in the center ( everyone different from each other ) & they all showed different types of moms & situations .
there was a mom who was all perfect in front of others but in the inside she was broken who lost herself while devoting her everything for her family , there was a mom who had a baby who was very sick & might not survive , there was an actress who gained weight during pregnancy & faced alot of backlash due to this causing her some complications during giving birth , there was a single mother & many more . So all of them showed different kinds of situations & how moms in all of these situations in real life may feel .
This drama also gives insights of the stereotypes there are in the society which everyone believe a mother should follow ?? .It also rises voice against many controversial topics surrounding motherhood .To be honest if i hadn't watch the drama i wouldn't have know there are so many things a mother faces while giving birth & bringing the baby up ( especially in the very beginning of motherhood ) . It's not like pop the baby out & that's it . there is so much more to it . Also do yoon was a very nice hubby . He might seem like a paboo but he is very patient with mood swings of hyunjin & often become her pillar of support which became one of the reasons why i found his character very cute .
so like i was saying this is a very realistic drama though it has MANY comical moments . I know there are many viewers who like to watch dramas that actually make sense .So this is perfect for them . Especially the women . I don't know if the guys will like the drama but if they do ; my respect to them .

now what i said in the long passage above is not even half of the actual drama . So my suggestion is - watch it ( at least 1 episode ) then judge it . I know many of us don't wanna waste time in watching a useless drama thus reading reviews from others to judge. But sometimes there is so much going in a drama that are hard to write in a review . Also I wrote many of the things you can expect from the drama but if I spoil too much you might lose the hype of watching it cause if i write like she faced problem in breastfeeding the baby , she had an intense fight with another mom to appoint a sitter for her baby, the "all perfect" mom kept bringing up stereotypes & how housewives bring their babies well & kept looking down on hyunjin as she decided she will be working mom BLAH BLAH BLAH & many more . See how there is no fun to spoil the exact way it is in the drama .

moral of the review - Try it out . It's very realistic ( & contains many funny , can empathies with moments ) . DON'T watch the clips of the drama cause since they are CLIPS they have no heads or legs just 2/3 min scenes which might often not make sense & they are weird . But if you watch the drama those scenes are actually very funny & will make sense

Prelúdio para a maternidade

(Sem spoiler)
Conseguiu tratar de um tema complicado adicionando uma boa comédia
Este kdrama foi muito completo e se manteve firme a história, tocaram em pontos de destaque como a recuperação pós parto, a decisão do nome de um filho, a difícil procura por uma babá, como é complicado para um casal conseguir se adaptar a nova situação, se é melhor amamentar por fórmula ou leite materno e como é complicado conciliar trabalho e cuidar dos filhos. Assisti o kdrama sem ser uma mãe e mesmo assim pude ver tudo sendo tratado com a realidade, mesmo sendo complicado é necessário dialogar e saber como se adaptar a vida com o bebê.

(Com spoiler)
A Oh Hyunjin/mãe do bastão em cola ficava decepcionada em como ela tratava o marido dela as vezes que sempre estava se dedicando, e não achei ela egoísta por não conseguir largar o emprego pelo filho, o filho dela com certeza é mais importante mas ela não deve ter que desistir de tudo que conquistou, fiquei feliz que ela conseguiu conciliar tudo ao final o que é a realidade difícil de muitas mulheres do século 21, trabalhar e cuidar dos filhos.

Mãe do Sarang/Jo Eunjung aquele sorrisinho falso dela escondendo tudo... Ela demonstrou uma pessoa que carrega tudo sozinha e finge que tudo está bem, fiquei feliz que ela conseguiu conversar com seu marido e pude perceber a importância do diálogo pois ninguém é de ferro e as mães devem se dedicar a si mesmas também.

Lee Rooda o ponto dela que mais me impactou foi o fato de ela não querer se casar, eu compreendi completamente, por ver seus pais em um casamento triste a melhor solução é pensar com cuidado e se não der certo ela pode se divorciar.

(Sem spoiler)
Ficou tudo muito bom e aprendi lições valiosas do mundo das mães, infelizmente não é fácil mas não devemos esquecer que uma mãe deve fazer o que gosta para que assim transmita essa felicidade ao seu bebê também!
Recomendo bastante para quem tem curiosidade sobre a maternidade.
