Couldn't Get Past Episode 2

I'll be frank: I watched this because I love looking at Lee Soo Hyuk. Unfortunately I didn't get very far despite him looking divine. Let's dissect some pros and cons.

PRO
- I really liked the female lead. I liked how she stood up to her cheating fiancé and her co-worker. The actress has a very soft look which I really liked as well.
- Hot ex fiancé.
- Lee Soo Hyuk does look as great as ever in this.
- I didn't hate the premise at all. I've seen that people found it icky that the female lead is basically gonna fall in love with her mom's boyfriend/husband, but they didn't even know each other when the mom was still alive and never had any kind of stepchild/step-parent relationship, so I don't care. On top of that the male lead is younger than the female lead? I think? It's true for the actors but it's unclear in regards to the characters but the FL definitely looks older than the ML.

CON
- My main problem with this drama really was the male lead. The writing made him seem like an asshole (I'm sure it gets better, but so far I found the guy's behavior nothing but infuriating), the styling made him look quite unattractive, and unfortunately Kim Young Kwang's performance didn't add an ounce of charme. I was just so incredibly turned off by this guy and had no interest seeing him fall in love, especially with two extremely hot actors playing more likable characters RIGHT THERE. (And yes, I found the cheating ex more likable than the male lead. Let that sink in. Seriously, why did they make Hong Na Ri's ex so hot? There was no reason other than hurting me, I'm convinced.) So yeah, in the two short episodes I watched, nothing endeared me to the male lead, on the contrary, I grew more and more annoyed with every scene he was in.

And that's the end of that.
