Really problematic and overall dated plot that does not hold up

I guess it is clear to say that this drama had an insane amount of hype due to the popularity of the webtoon. The webtoon itself is also poorly written so I didn't expect much from the drama. The only positives were that the cast matches the characters in the webtoon really well! That being said...... the rest is a trainwreck. The drama is problematic as the FL is deemed "ugly" because her cheeks are red, she has some pimples and she wears glasses. This plotline is too tropy so it doesn't make any sense that she gets so severely bullies just for that. I also hate the character development of Suho, he straight up becomes her stalker towards the end. He seems to have these obsessive tendencies which just don't sit well with me. In my opinion, the support actors were more entertaining to watch. If you like the actors or the webtoon then you might be able to get through this but it was pretty difficult for me.
