I think right now, I don't feel that ES is overdoing the mother issue; Soryo's handling it in a way that I find very realistic and interesting. I'm just a little wary for stuff going forward because I've read so much shoujo that ends with "And she is pregnant, yay!" (ok, "so much" really being two or three series, but it's that plus the whole "mystical baby" and "invaded uterus" stuff on TV).
I mean... I get that motherhood is something many women end up thinking about, but some part of me resents that, particularly because of how the media feeds into why women "should" think about motherhood. And I'm also wary because of how many stories about adult women end up being concerned with motherhood -- for once, I want a woman who is not having kids and is ok with not having kids and it's no big deal.

But yeah, it will depend on how the series goes.
