— WALL STREET JOURNAL

"Love Child never attempts to cheapen the tragedy of Sarang's death, the story won't feel that outlandish to anybody who counts the Internet among the spaces in which they feel most social. You won't forgive The Couple in "love child," but you'll understand the environment that helped set the tragedy in motion and maybe you'll look at your own online-heavy environment in a different way."

- HIT FIX
