‘Baby Born’: Oh Yeon-seo & Choi Jin-hyuk’s Happy Ending – Drama Recap

Channel A’s weekend drama, ‘We Have a Baby,’ concluded its run on February 22, 2026, delivering a heartwarming finale that saw its leads, Kang Du-joon (played by Choi Jin-hyuk) and Jang Hui-won (played by Oh Yeon-seo), overcome numerous obstacles to build a family. The final episode focused on resolving lingering conflicts and solidifying the couple’s commitment to one another.

The episode opened with tension as Han Jeong-eum (played by Baek Eun-hye) crashed the wedding planning stages, attempting to disrupt the happiness of Du-joon and Hui-won. Hui-won, expressing a fear of repeating past experiences of feeling overlooked and undervalued, firmly asserted her desire for a marriage built on mutual respect. Du-joon echoed this sentiment, setting clear boundaries with his future mother-in-law. The resistance from Du-joon’s father, Kang Chan-gil (played by Son Byung-ho), further complicated matters, pushing Han Jeong-eum to a desperate point.

However, the true turning point came as Han Jeong-eum faced the consequences of her actions. Not only did company directors turn against her, but her own daughter, Kang Se-hyun (played by Jang Yeo-bin), disowned her, demanding accountability for her behavior. Se-hyun stated she would sever all ties if her mother didn’t accept responsibility, a stark demonstration of the fallout from Han Jeong-eum’s relentless pursuit of control.

Driven to desperation and believing Du-joon was the root of all her misfortune, Han Jeong-eum recklessly attempted to harm him with her car. In a dramatic turn, Se-hyun unexpectedly intervened, placing herself in the path of the vehicle, prompting Du-joon to heroically push her out of harm’s way. This near-tragedy forced Han Jeong-eum to confront the gravity of her actions.

The incident prompted Hui-won to rush to the hospital, where she found Du-joon safe. Overwhelmed with relief, she broke down in tears, expressing her fear of losing him. Du-joon reassured her, reaffirming his unwavering love and commitment to both her and their unborn child, affectionately referred to as “Yeolmu.”

Recognizing the devastation she almost caused, Han Jeong-eum finally humbled herself, kneeling before Du-joon and offering a sincere apology for her past behavior and misguided resentment. She acknowledged her mistakes and expressed remorse for the pain she had inflicted.

Following the resolution of these conflicts, Du-joon orchestrated a romantic proposal for Hui-won, expressing his desire to never let her go. Hui-won joyfully accepted, describing it as the “most perfect proposal” of her life.

The drama then fast-forwarded one year, depicting Du-joon as a devoted husband and father, skillfully caring for their first child while preparing a surprise event for Hui-won. Her emotional reaction to the gesture underscored the depth of their connection and the happiness they had found together.

The series concluded with a scene from the couple’s child’s first birthday party. In a final, heartwarming moment, Hui-won experienced morning sickness, subtly hinting at a second pregnancy and promising continued growth for their family.

‘We Have a Baby,’ which premiered on January 17, 2026, garnered positive reviews for its engaging storyline, adapted from a popular web novel, and the performances of its lead actors. While a follow-up series has not yet been officially announced, the drama’s successful run has left audiences anticipating future projects from Channel A.

The series’ success also comes amidst broader industry trends. As reported by Dramabeans on January 19, 2026, and again on February 22, 2026, “Positively Yours,” as the drama is also known, distinguishes itself from typical romantic comedies by beginning with an unplanned pregnancy, flipping the conventional “meet-cute” narrative. This unconventional approach, coupled with the chemistry between Choi Jin-hyuk and Oh Yeon-seo, resonated with viewers. The drama’s exploration of modern relationships and the challenges of parenthood, as highlighted in a first impressions piece published on January 24, 2026 by Soompi, further contributed to its appeal.
