I'm confused. A potential kdrama but......

The romance between the male lead and female lead feels so forced that I can't even feel the chemistry between the two of them. Every time both of them try to be sweet, you know, look into each other eyes, etc, I will eventually skip those scenes. I feel bored watching them talking, there are no sparks, and feel very forced. I don't know what to say but the writer tried really hard to put romance between both of them. Not just her but the male lead also, every time he try to deliver his acting and be a 'charming guy' in front of the female lead, I didn't feel anything besides them being forced lol.

This could be a very good kdrama because it involves investigation but in more light and a comedic way so it's kinda ok-ok in the early episodes. I bet it's because THERE IS NO ROMANCE AT THE BEGINNING hm... this kdrama doesn't seem to end well. Besides romance and the female lead, the male lead character is also poorly written. Why is he so frail and unable to fight? He's a former police officer, for God's sake. Oh, and his friend, why is his personality like that? Acting with your mouth pursed and your hand like that? If you watch it, you will understand what I mean.

However, I like the friendship between the male lead and his cafe minamdang squad, and the OSTs in this drama are awesome. I love it. That's why I feel confused and don't know how to rate this kdrama because at some point this kdrama feels really bored and meh but sometimes it gives you the feeling of 'not bad.'

Update: I’m not confused anymore. I will not drop this if this kdrama has only 16 episodes but because there are 18 episodes and I need to watch 4 episodes left, I'm not gonna waste my time so goodbye im gonna drop this. I barely finished eps 14, I basically skip the entire interaction between the ml and fl which has SO MANY LOL ON EPISODE 14.
