Annoying and Disappointing

I was excited to watch this drama since there was so much hype around it and it is considered one of the top kdramas. I was disappointed to be disappointed in the show.
STORY
Like any show it needed drama and it made that "drama" out of insignificant, minor situations. Often feeling exaggerated, unbelievable and ridiculous. And while those three attributes are common in kdramas, they are not normally to such an extreme, genuine level. I sat there watching it thinking "why are you crying now?? Why are they making such a big deal of this? No one would react that way to something so small!"
Without any genuine, believable drama happening, this show was slow moving and boring.
CHARACTERS
Lee Sung Kyung spends far too much time sulking, pouting, yelling and whining.
Nam Joo Hyuk was one of the highlights of this drama, though that was probably due to having the only well written character.
The supporting cast wasn't very strong. Most of them were there just to fill space.
CONCLUSION
I definitely wouldn't re-watch it. While I wouldn't tell you NOT to watch it, I also wouldn't recommend that you watch it.
It's not a "bad" drama, but it was annoying and disappointing.
