I think there are 4 reasons for that.</p><p>1) people thought it was making an anti-choice political statement. I didn't think that & on this rewatch I'm taking notes about why. I'll have to do a spoiler post about that.</p><p>2) I can't say this one without a spoiler, but again, I think people misinterpreted what happened in the relationship.</p><p>3) The pythonesque humor. Not typical for k-content. Finding the phallic & yonic imagery in a synchronized swimming routine hilarious may not be for everyone. Finding the invitro fertilization process mimicked with an archery scene & frying eggs not only visually beautiful, but so funny is also not everyone's cup of tea.</p><p>4) Many complained that the science-y stuff was just not possible. In the 1st eps we see Lee Min Ho (at 35ish) as a high schooler. You know at that point this drama doesn't care about being realistic.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/kDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kDrama</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/WhenTheStarsGossip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhenTheStarsGossip</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/%EB%B3%84%EB%93%A4%EC%97%90%EA%B2%8C%EB%AC%BC%EC%96%B4%EB%B4%90" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>별들에게물어봐</span></a></p>
