It was tough to get through this drama

I watch and finish this drama for Minho. I'm a shawol and to support SHINee members work I gave it a try.
At first I didn't really expect anything about this drama. But after all the delay of the release date I became very excited to be able to watch the drama for Minho and my expectation rises because of all the waiting. They promote this drama as young people trying to succeed in the fashion industry and all. So me thinking maybe I can learn something about fashion, even though I'm not into fashion myself. I also thought to be able to see some character development or growth of these professionals in their workfield. No......... It was just disappointing. You will see tons of brand names passing by for the scenes and some basic or you couldn't even call it basic marketing/PR things.
Then I switch my focus, to see this more as a romance rom-com. Can I see it like that??
I don't know . Personally for me a rom-com has to be sweet, beautiful or have a meaningful love-relationship, but the couple in this drama doesn't has that. It involves cheating, with no regrets. Being a best-friend with your still in love ex-boyfriend. I have know problem for people being friends with their exes, but if you still have feelings for each other don't date other people and stay in contact with this so called "ex" (boy)friend.
Story: If you ask me what the story is.... I will say there is NO Story or a thing call plot. A lot of people say it's a drama with good friendship relationships. I agree but this should not be the main point of the drama, if this is not your selling and promotion point from the start.

The producers and writers could make this whole story less boring by adding more dept to the background of each of these main characters and maybe add more families to turn it into a Sitcom kinda drama. The FL and ML lead relationship could have been a second couple in another drama.

Acting: the story of this drama is so lost, that I could not even care who the casts are. As I said before I watch this drama for Minho. Even though I'm a Shawol I still want to be rational about the acting skills of these actors. Nobody has leave a big impact for me. The FL just acted like any other actresses that act a bubbly, hardworking girl. Minho should polish his acting skills. Even though his character is someone that doesn't show his feeling to others, it still lacks a lot of expressions compare to a normal shy- introverted guy. He basically acted himself with a lot less passion.

Music: Did they have an ost or any music?? I didn't catch any.

Rewatch Value: I will rewatch it as a drama playing in the background for some sound, but will not actively watch it for the story or acting.
