Others commented that it would be better if Han So Hee played the role of Doona, escalating another debate among K-Netz.

Here are some of the conflicting reviews shared by K-Netz online.

• "I don't know. It was a lot less than what I expected."
• "I don't like the female lead's personality. There's something unattractive about her."
• "I am watching this for Suzy, but I can't get myself to focus at all. I don't think the female protagonist is for everyone. The first few episodes don't do the best job at selling the character to the audience."
• "It drags in the last remaining episodes. I only liked the first few episodes."
• "I loved the kiss scene of Doona and Woo Jun. No. I loved all of the scenes!"
• "It gets better with each episode. If you've stopped watching the first few episodes, please give it another chance."
• "Suzy is so pretty, and Yang Se Jong is hot!"
• "The final episodes are intense. The drama is well-produced."
• "The lead characters have amazing chemistry."

Regardless of the mixed reactions that the drama received, one thing seems certain is that Suzy's comeback series is attracting more viewers both in Korea and abroad.

As global interest continues to arise, "Doona!" is expected to maintain a spot in Netflix's Top 10.
