Really fun at times, frustrating at others, kind of drags. Romance is both great and stupid

The story is pretty interesting and the acting is good, nosediving in the romance department (aside for the mcs). This is a decent show, with many dramatic moments and twists. I suppose that is a cliche, everyone is suspicious, especially background characters, but this is a drama after all. It does its job and the main couple is very cute. Very sweet how they care for each other.
I hated most of the side couples, I think they made no sense. It felt almost as if the writers threw darts and threw their hands in the air like, yeah okay this is what we're landing with. The senior and the junior at the company have no chemistry together. She could've been such a cool character, I was rooting for her and the actor she scouted. It felt like a way more natural match up and their interactions were nice and hey, role reversal would've been so refreshing, with her being more active. Why was it the senior in the end? I don't know. They had no chemistry and it feels like both of their characters weren't deep enough for it to work, regressed even further. He treated her like a child throughout and ended with it. It wasn't cute in the slightest, it went nowhere. They both feel really underdeveloped, because the writers flip flopped with what their romantic stories would be like or about.
On that note, what about the senior and the actress he was in charge of? Her and the senior had impeccable, dramatic and emotional potential. I think the show was kind of going for it at the start, but then realized they all would be like the main couple and dropped what could be a properly angsty couple, with actual one sided attraction, not the stupid on the spot crush. The other two got paired up just for the sake of it, I have nothing else to add, that's it. Predictable at that point and flavorless.
Yuna and her guy were fucking hilarious from start to end. Now this is enemies to lovers.
