Opinion:
An open-ended ending that leaves us wanting more. I do, I do has carried us the question: What is there to life? I loved that the question was posed in different contexts - career, family, love, passion and our dreams. And what happens when it feels like when we have to compromise one for the other.

These series brought up the issue of pregnancy, abortion, motherhood and parenthood in a way I never expected at the start. It took common romantic comedy premise and turned it into a heartwarming journey of one woman's life to appreciate the life around her. The show also examined the struggles and the implications of straddling between the love for a child and a career and a desire to be a mother to both.

The Ending:
As the three of them walk hand in hand, Jian tells us: "What is the right path? Where should I go from here? I'll probably live but I'm no longer afraid. Life doesn't always go as expected but it brings unexpected gifts. My love, my child... and the people I'm grateful to. I received such great gifts from them in a short timespan. What gifts will await me in the difficult future? I'm already curious about them. No, I'm definitely looking forward to them."
