Lee Jae-lim of Korea JoongAng Daily wrote that the film drew similarities to “Kim Ji Young, Born 1982,” by diving into the lives of Korean women, specifically in as Mi-rae grapples with various obstacles that arise throughout her pregnancy even further stating that the film should be designated as a mandatory part of Korea's sex education. Lee "...found the narrative where Mi-rae suddenly decides to accept motherhood came somewhat out of the blue..."  but stating "Nevertheless, I would like to give a standing ovation to the lead actor Choi Sung-eun who portrayed Mi-rae, a rookie actor who debuted through the film “Start-Up” last year."[3]
