The Side/Second Love Story Is Atrocious

I would give this show more stars except I find the side story for the second couple so horribly awful.
I find the kind of lies and manipulation going on there appalling, and not at all funny or cute. It doesn't make sense either. I find it kind of mind boggling that the writers and producers went forward with this. I think the couple could be quite cute together if it weren't for this messed up storyline.
I have an extension on my browser that lets me speed up videos, so I'm using it to speed through the scenes with the second leads. But this storyline is honestly making it hard for me to continue watching the rest of the series, as it's taking away from my enjoyment of the main storyline.

I don't love the "white lies" told in the main storyline, but at least they're not on quite the same level as the stupid, appalling, and horrible lies the CEO is telling in the side storyline, and the reasoning behind them does make some sort of sense. I find the chemistry between the main couple enjoyable. While I'm not a fan of the cutesy, babyish ways of the female lead I don't find it annoying either, and it makes sense for the storyline. When the ML assumes she's stupid because of the way she looks and behaves she decides to double down on that impression, hiding her true intelligence from him. Slowly the ML seems to realize there's more to her than his snap judgment initially led him to believe.

For me the best thing about this show though is the scenery. It's so absolutely beautiful. The way this has been filmed is really great too. Visually this series is very soothing and peaceful to watch.
