Such a Disappointment

Had very high expectations from this show, considering stellar cast. However, I'm six episodes down and its clear this drama would become a flop as it's heading towards straight disappointment.

My pain points with this show:

1) More screentime of Seonwoo (the bland and boring personality main lead whose only talent is to be at the right place and right time - to assist Mijo when she's distressed)

2) Lack of chemistry between Seonwoo and Mijo - it looks like the ML here was added just to act as a support system for FL rather than a potential love interest - considering his one dimensional personality being portrayed here.

3) less screentime of Johee - we writers would want to know why shes still singe and still lives with her mother at the age of 39 - which is a shocker really

4) more romance than friendship - more screentime is being given to romance between leads (which is boring AF) rather than Female leads in this show - idk the writer doesn't seem to get this hint that this show is supposed to show friendship aspect.

5) Mijo inserting herself in every situation : again the writer seems to have forgotten that Chan Young is the one who has terminal illness - the viewers would like to see her perspective more - rather funnily enough - we see the perspective of her friend Mijo - on how she would cope up with pain (we couldn't care less about her suffering and her crying lol) . It feels like a Mijo show where everything revolves around her - and her boring ML who's only role is to appear from absolutely anywhere and offer comfort. *Eye roll*

6) Episode 3 of this show was BAD , REALLY BAD : nothing more can be said about this because my hand would start paining if I start writing about criticism of this episode specifically.
