*** Positively Yours (2026) ***
(Viki 12 1:10 eps)

[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

2 workaholics, who hate the idea of marriage, end up having a 1-night stand, which results in pregnancy.

The FL has 2 long-term friends, & it just so happens that their feelings are evolving right around the time of the 1-night stand. The ML has a horrible family situation & the pregnancy complicates it even further.

What starts as great chemistry between the leads fades. The love triangles are not done well. The FL's mother & the ML's SIL are irredeemable, yet the other characters try to understand them. In what is otherwise a regular romcom, the SIL thought she was in a makjang. The ML's secretary is perfect - great delivery on some funny lines. Many hanging story lines are left. Some nice support for women's choices. Pleasant enough for a casual watch, but unremarkable.

Serendipity's Embrace
(2024 - Viki, 8 1:10 eps)

What could have been a very cliche story about a cold, smart, successful ML encountering his 1st love, who isn't interested in relationships, ends up being refreshing. Common tropes seem about to happen but tiny twists, like communicating, setting boundaries, & advocating for yourself keep the story fresh.

Great chemistry between all the couples, with great acting. The 3rd ML needs a main role soon. It's short, so the themes are a bit shallow. The story wraps things up nicely with justification for the characters' actions (except one - without much backstory, it's hard to understand the reasoning).

It's a cute, mostly fluffy romance with many high school flashbacks. We see the leads grow to understand themselves better. It definitely could be a comfort watch, but don't expect profound revelations.
