An interesting concept that fails to translate into an experience worth watching

I really wanted to like this drama. The concept surrounding the love alarm was intriguing, and there were so many cool things that they could've done with it. Unfortunately, very little is explored with this.

In addition to the love alarm theme not being used to its full potential, I disliked the acting/writing. The main character just seems to exist, it was difficult to tell how she was feeling, and she doesn't speak often. Not to mention the unbelievable scenarios that happened throughout the drama, starting with following a complete stranger to a secluded area and being kissed by him.

They touch on homosexuality for about two minutes, and it had me thinking that they would continue this plot-line into something more substantial for the show; however, it just... disappeared. I thought that was quite unfortunate. Overall, this drama has an interesting concept but failed to execute it in an entertaining and engaging way.
