Fast moving drama with good chemistry

Like the chemistry between the couple - very sweet together. Good that the drama is fast-moving with little draggy scenes. So conflicts and misunderstandings do not drag long and are resolved either within the same episode or at the longest the next episode.

What I didn't really like was the fact that the FL and ML did not really change in her character. Both did not improve their communication skills or anger management. Many conflicts arise because one party just jumped into conclusion based on whatever that he has heard (which is often not the complete story or just a snippet of the full convo) - without bothering to find out more. At the beginning, I could understand because of the fundamental mistrust the girl has of the guy. But it was disappointing that nearing the end, the trust level was only slightly better. The guy has so little faith that the girl likes him and was overly jealous. But I could understand this slightly given the fundamental mistrust the girl had in him for so long - and his insecurity due to his childhood trauma.

This is aggravated by them saying thinks they do not mean in anger...

But I think the FL is more at fault in this case. She is never very communicative of her thoughts. She is not understanding of the guy, who has seriously done too much for her. She knows of the fundamental mistrust the ML has with the guy chasing the FL and she done nothing to try to understand why or to even accommodate the guy. I think a relationship is about give and take, except in this case it is the ML doing all the giving and the FL all the taking - and in the process of her taking, she did not even consider the feelings and insecurities for the ML and refuses to compromise for him on some matters.

But nonetheless like the show because of the sweet scenes, and good chemistry and that conflicts are resolved quickly.
