Had the tools but didn't deliver...

I cannot say I actively disliked this drama. I had a lot of elements I liked which I will discuss first. The main and side characters were all very likable or interesting in some way. Even the villains I felt were written well and not over the top. The female lead was such an amazing character and a badass but still had a soft feminine side. The leads had good chemistry I loved them together and it was easy to root for them throughout the series. This is where my praise ends and criticisms begin. The overarching plot was okay but the step necessary to get to A to B dragged on and felt repetitive. The writers made the leads make the same mistakes over and over and never learn or grow from them. How many times can you use miscommunication as a plot device? I was so frustrated because I really liked the first half of this drama but struggled to get to the end. The dreams part mentioned in the synopsis is underused and not done well. The explanation also was weak. I feel like the writers threw it in here and there to make more unnecessary problems for the leads that weren't even important to the plot. I don't really recommend this drama to anyone who values character development or leads who can communicate with each other well.
