The forecast is bad

I should've known when I wasn't captured by the first episode that this would be a trainwreck you can't look away from. However, I try to give a drama a few episodes before I drop it. So, I kept watching & episode two was better so I continued on. By the time we were reaching the second half of the drama, I felt this drama was losing what could make this a decent drama.

For starters, while using weather as symbolism for what was happening in the story was fine, the weather talk itself during their jobs wasn't appealing & only got more boring as the episodes went on. I think the concept was okay in theory but the way it was written & executed was greatly lacking. For example, while it brought awareness to some forecast issues that we may have never thought about, it simultaneously made things appear overdramatic.

The drama started with the leads showing that they could have chemistry & then it just fell apart as the writing of their characters got worse. There was inconsistencies & actions that the characters made that didn't make sense given what had happened in the story before. I didn't feel their chemistry at all. (Also, I love PMY but her acting was awkward here & the worst that I've seen from her.)
I wasn't interested in the stories of the secondary characters.

But, the worst part about this drama was the way the cheaters were glorified and got away with gaslighting. It made me feel so upset seeing FL's ex run to her for relationship advice & her giving it to as if he didn't hurt her in the way that he did. Some will say that he apologized her & it's okay to be friends with your ex but this case isn't it. To me, his apology was the bare minimum, as he didn't fully apologize for everything that he did & because of how he still felt a need to show off to her. Thinking about it again is making me shake my head so I will end this by saying skip this drama. I wanted to give the rewatch a zero but I wasn't allowed to :p
