What a disappointing nonsense

I watched this show because of the high ratings and are now wondering how this mess got such high ratings?
I love rom coms/fantasy comedy genres but I honestly can't tell what this is supposed to be. My rating is strictly based on my opinion of this C drama.
The whole storyline and supposed romance lack even the smallest grain of believablity. Gorgeous, hot, successful CEO and his cute, talented brother both deeply fall in love with a not so attractive, without personality or charm FL who is dumping both guys multiple times during the show. Seriously? Terrible casting for the FL role as her character is childish, ridiculous and stays exactly the same without any character growth or development throughout the whole show. The script writers have created a truly unlikeable messed up, lying, female character who supposedly has superpowers which manifests in one scene as she freeze time and space but in the next scene she is afraid to cross the street. Then with all her strength and superpower, she lets a human tie her up and beat her, etc. Then .. the FL is all over men and is totally and shamelessly turned on,,, and yet.. when it comes to the hugging scenes, she is faking "a deer in a headlight" reaction totally out of what the reaction should be for a romantic encounter. What a terrible performance/acting! The whole thing is ridiculous. The kissing scenes are probably the worst part, they are awful, and fake with the FL open eyes and the close ups make it even worse. The storyline and dialogues are repetitive and boring. The same love you, don't love you, breaking up, making up, now I don't want you, now I do.....on and on and on it goes in a loop. Same exact thing. Even the dialogues are exactly the same in many scenes. Boring and very uncreative. Thank God for fast forwarding.
Music is nice. Wardrobe has some nice pieces but the actors mostly wear the same garments over and over.
It appears that whoever wrote this may never been in a relationship ever and have no idea how to portray a real romantic relationship. Honestly, I consider this drama, (supposed romantic comedy) a huge waste of time and if it wasn't for the talented, hot ML who at least tried to save this mess, I probably wouldn't had the patience to finish this without a total brain freeze. Waste of production budget. And finally, .....we have 21st Century technology and superb special effects technology to portray superpowers in an interesting way, which would have probably saved this production if applied .
