To Hee-won’s dismay, the BFF she crushed on and her other BFF are now dating! Seriously bummed, Hee-won decides to go wild just one time, and find solace with a handsome stranger. A very satisfying one night affair has now turned into more — she’s pregnant! Fate brings them together again, and now the regimented Doo-joon is determined to do the right thing and marry her. But they’re basically strangers! Except… their bodies have been very intimately acquainted. What’s this mother-to-be to do?
Review
It was surprisingly good! Positively Yours started in a reverse order for the romance story between the main characters, which I think was pretty interesting.
This story started with FL having a one night stand with a guy she met in a bar after hastily going there mending a broken heart because her bff that she has a crush on is now dating their other close friend. She thought it was just a one night stand until she met the director of the school that she teaches at. Imagine the surprise, lol.
The romance after the second meet didn’t have a good start mostly because of MLs annoying mouth. He was quite annoying, but he eventually grew on me, since that’s just how he is. The sudden pregnancy didn’t help either, lol, since it was unexpected. I thought he was just being responsible, but as I read further, I think he was being manipulative and a bit forceful. He wants to marry the FL since she’s pregnant but he is being incessant about it which I think is not a good thing if they are just starting with their “relationship”. But oh well, goodluck for their married life later on then, lol.
The creator’s take on their married life was pretty realistic, so I really like reading that. It shows us the struggle of their marriage life considering it didn’t start with love. That’s why it was really rewarding seeing the confession part after what they went through.
Unlike Daytime Star, I don’t think I love either of the main characters in this manhwa, but I do love their chemistry. The ML may not be my favorite, but it was still enjoyable to read his character development. The FL on the other hand is sometimes annoying, but still better than other stupid fantasy FL out there, lol. Her family troubles was quite sad, but I’m glad she finally able to overcome that in the side story, *wink.
Their scenes with MLs family were also quite hilarious and funny to read, lol.
Contrary to what I expected, her crush and their other close friend was not annoying. Actually, their friendship was really nice to read. It may sound a bit awkward since your two close friends suddenly started dating, but in the end you could see that they really are meant for each other.
There was also a stalking psycho which was a little annoying, but it feels like it was just added there for the drama. Overall, it was still tolerable, *wink.
Lastly, the art was surprisingly good. Definitely no complaints, especially on the character design, *wink.
As per usual, this manhwa also has some side stories, with babies and romance of the side characters, so it was extremely enjoyable to read. If you are craving for a modern romance, then Positively Yours should be on your list!
