Overview

A romantic comedy about a woman Oh Woo Ri, who intended to remain chaste until marriage, accidentally winds up pregnant while undergoing a medical examination.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 68 /100

Critical reception for Woori the Virgin was mixed to moderately positive, with reviewers appreciating its lighthearted approach to heavier themes while noting that it struggled to match the impact of its American predecessor, Jane the Virgin. Critics highlighted the show's ability to weave compelling stories around single motherhood, generational trauma, and social stigma beneath its absurd romantic comedy premise.

However, the adaptation faced criticism for pacing and tone. Compressing multi-season storylines into a single 14-episode run meant that some elements felt rushed, while other reviews pointed out that the show occasionally played its drama too seriously rather than leaning into the original's heightened satirical style.

“It succeeds at staying true to many of the plotlines present in the stateside version, and delivers some quirky and laughable moments”

“conveys generational trauma, single motherhood, and social stigma in a light-hearted way”

“don’t expect the wild ride that the American version was”
