This is a solid romantic comedy, with a great set up. We get into an intensely ridiculous situation step-by-step, such that by the time the decision that sets act two in motion is made, you agree with the characters that despite being ridiculous, it does also seem like the best way to deal with things.

The angst never gets too angsty; the clingy second lead is annoying and wrecks things, but doesn't dominate the screen time.

I was at first hesitant because as a mom, I find stories that try to combine a romantic plot with a single-mother-of-a-toddler female lead tend to fall short. However, both the emotional and practical effects of the child on all the characters were well done.

There was some bumpiness in the writing around episode 11 or 12 that made it seem like something was resolved and then it wasn't in a way that was not very satisfying and left the story feeling a bit... off. But they got past that bump and ended it pretty nicely.

It's a solid escapism romance, perfect for when you're sick or tired or just need some distraction. Easy to binge watch and cute enough to use as a unicorn chaser for something more serious.
