Forecasting bad script

I was eagerly looking for this drama after reading synopsis. I thought this drama would show work and little romance of National weather service people, and be like kdrama "Live". Simple and realistic. But what I seen is nothing short of disappointment.

First, the main ML and FL chemistry is kind of off. Let me say beforehand, I don't care about age gap and I'm completely fine with it. I just simply don't see them as interesting. The romance between them seems like it is something forced developed just because they are main characters and they have
no choice but romance to happen between them. i feel like this because of the way they started, the one night stand which was a cliche way to start. The acting is also on average side. Song kang is great actor, I loved him in Navillera, his acting was good there but I don't know what happened here. Maybe it's the character writing that did unjustice to his acting potential. As for park min young, why does she walk like that. Her hips sway too much like she is on a runway platform. It's so awkward to watch her keeping still face and walk like that. Body language is also quite important in acting.

Now coming to second ML and FL, both are given the routine we have seen for ages. Cheats on main characters, gets tied up together, become scape goat of a script that will continually put them down for viewer satisfaction and glorification of main ML and FL. It's just so obvious these characters on how they will be and it makes me bored. What I am even more mad is that the synopsis of this drama described these second ML and FL as something of a potential but what I saw is total 180° of it. In description it was mentioned second ML is someone who is good at persuasion and a model student. What they shown is a loser who doesn't have any skills and nothing like in the description. Same with
the second FL. The writer is basically making second ML and FL as characters to receive as much hate as they can and I just don't see the point of it. I just want to say "yeah I understand, but unless there is a character development to them can we just move on ".

One more thing, too much improper communication at work place that seems so unprofessional. Gossips in bathrooms without checking stalls and its so unrealistic. All 4 main characters talk with their personal feelings included whenever it comes to work. Anything goes wrong at work people just shout instead of solving. And about weather, I don't know how serious korean weather is and how criticizing it is if something a little wrong is predicted, but I kinda feel they are over exaggerating the work style of National weather service in this drama for sake of dramatic effect. Or maybe not. Since I am not a korean I cannot say I am right on this. But I felt like this because, every moment of episode it's like something went wrong in Korea's weather and nobody is having a sunny day. Like every episode, I keep asking, should the weather always have some problem just to have an episode. You can write one episode on good weather and show normal day at the office. Having every episode with a weather problem is too much routine writing.

I am going to give 2 more episodes as try. But if this drama is going to be like this only I am dropping without changing this rating. But if I like it, I will definitely change.

Anybody in comments try to defend or argue. Well go ahead. But I am going to stick with my review.
