I don't get the positive reviews

Have I watched a different show than everyone else? (No, I haven't.) Or why are there so many high reviews of this? The story is shallow, super rushed and mediocre at best, the chemistry between the couple in my opinion non existent, Jin Won is super rude most of the time, Sang Ha gets treated badly but lets it happen anyway and continues to love Jin Won regardless of how many times he gets shouted at or gets treated poorly.

(a little bit of a spoiler for a scene follows)

One scene I found particularly weird was when Sang Ha refused the contract in Ep. 7 and Jin Won ran after him to convince him to take the contract after all. In the background, a loan shark shows up, Sang Ha runs away, the loan shark follows. Jin Won SEES all of this but doesn't find this suspicious, let alone reacts to it? If he already has feelings for Sang Ha at this point, then why in all the seven hells would he not react to a scary adult man chasing after the guy he loves / likes? Even if it was just friendship, it he should have checked what was happening there.

Apart from that, I found the milk motive that keeps on returning quite repetitive and boring at some point and the fact that Sang Ha keeps on kissing Jin Won without consent rubs me the wrong way too, even though it' portrayed as playful. No consent is still no consent.

All in all, I would not recommend this show and I really, really do not understand the overwhelmingly positive rating of this drama. I've watched a lot of BL drama and this might actually be the worst one for me personally.
