Lazy writing, 2D characters and a lame long love triangle = a waste of time

I'm 99% certain the people who praise the romance and chemistry in this one are blinded by their love for PSJ. FL over or under acts without hitting the authenticity sweet spot and the relationship circumstances are way less believable than the standard meet cute romcom. I'm a fan of noona dramas but this romance felt flimsy from the start - more love bomb than romcom - and it never got better.

Then as soon as the highly unlikely love triangle rears its ugly head the leads did a total 180 - FL goes from boss to wishy-washy insecure while ML goes from supportive to immature man child. If a story says one thing then expects me to believe something totally different with no basis just to inject some drama it's frankly not a good story. Don't even get me started on SML who's a romance road block instead of an actual 3D character.

The plot isn't anything special either - just lies, misunderstandings and miscommunications with some background office drama - so once the romance stalls there's no point sticking around. In retrospect I should have listened to all the comments telling people to skip episodes 8-12 but again if you have to skip 1/3 of a drama to enjoy a drama it's not a good drama.
