Bad characters: what is a personality?

First of all, the main leads.
I can't seem to know if the main actor is bad at acting, his character is bad, or both.
The 'cold' persona that the character had didn't help him in any way as we would see that he is but a child in the body of a man.
One thing that was interesting was his room, it was logical and added a slight depth to being a famous actor. However that small detail couldn't save the character. Also, kissing the FL when she's drunk, then again kissing her while drunk, yeah, big nono.

The female lead. At first, I didn't have a problem with her, she's that stereotypical 'cutesy' and 'shy' girl, and again they did add things to the character to make it more interesting, such as the agoraphobia: but it was only used as a stepping stone for the male lead to save her.
The more I watched the FL, the more she lacked emotions. When she finally accepted to be the ML's girlfriend, I couldn't see the 'happiness' that one could have. I haven't seen her other works so it can be blamed on lack of chemistry.

The 'villain'
Plainly, boring. That typical villain that has the stupidest reason to be against our ML. I'm sure the actor could be a terrific villain, if given a good role. He was handsome, yes, but it was in no way interesting to have someone always be the ML's enemy every step of the way, for no apparent reason.
As for the villain's 'sidekick', to have such a petty reason like rejection... They didn't even try to make her have a personality other than 'that girl next to the villain'.

The secondary leads.
I liked Qi Chao and his calm demeanor. Plus, him being cold to girls in general was explained, so his character was the best one for me. However, the 2FL was just an obsessed stalker. She was only useful as the main CP's third wheel and the cute younger sister-like girl.

The plot:
It was generic, famous ML, non-famous FL, workplace romance, kinda ennemies to lovers. It was nothing new. It could've been interesting, if the characters were made 'better'. (By better, I mostly mean in personality and actions)



General:
The characters and the story create the show:
Bad characters= half bad show
Okay story: ehhhh show.
Bad characters + okay story? Bad show.
Why? Because characters are everything.
