A likable enough drama

After years of watching amazing Kdramas, this one seemed quite a bit forced. The acting was mostly really good, but the story made it feel off. Everyone tried their best. Many reviewers seemed to feel that Park Hye-Soo didn't do a good job, especially for a newbie, but she actually did a decent job, even though she was made to act like a ping pong ball going all over the place. She still made the character likeable and believable.

The one thing that really left me with a bad taste in my mouth is the way the one night-stand between Ji-Hye and U-Il was handled. I mean come on! Who has feelings for one guy and sleeps with another...I could understand if the story showed her drunk and confused, but she wasn't the one who was drunk. It was clearly non-consensual sex which got glossed over. As a sister of someone who died like that, I would be outraged at Kang U-Il, yet everyone seems to just take that as a non-issue. None of the reviews I read here have mentioned that either. This one thing made watching the rest of the drama difficult.
