Serious about the most unserious things in life = Just cringy

If you want to start a J-drama where the two leads make your heart flutter and excited about them getting together, well, this isn't that drama, Although it could have been.

This drama started off good but after ep 3 it was clear this was gonna be another j drama where the same thing happens every episode, with no progress. But honestly, that doesn't even bother me, what bothered me the most was how overdramatic this drama was with no good reason at all. It was trying to be serious so hard, making this such a hard and often cringy watch. I think I'm in the minority but I much prefer unrealistic cliche dramas to ones like this that are supposed to be a romcom but leave you bored and confused as to why a character is so upset over something so... unserious. Like it wanted to be angsty but without developing any reason for the viewer to understand why a character is acting a certain way. also, the two leads have 0 chemistry together, The love triangle was not believable at all cause I honestly did not understand why either of them liked her to that "deep" level. They literally did not develop any story as to why they fell for her, the writers really thought her being the FL was enough for the viewers to just accept it. Like there are tons of charismatic women at the workplace who also work hard so it made no sense to me why the CEO especially liked her. There is NO reason given at all by the character.... Once again, a really fake deep drama about "finding yourself" but no real discussions or plot points happening that give any insights on the theme at all. J-Romcoms, DO BETTER, please.
