Enjoyable but incredibly predictable plot

The classic "I'm just a regular guy, yet every man seems to want me." This series is not bad, but it could really benefit from changing a few things.
Overall I'd say I enjoyed watching this series, but it is rather a one-time watch, and I personally just used it as a palate cleanser between some of the more heavy and dark series.
Things I liked:
1. Taek Gyeon. Good friend, good boyfriend, and an overall good character. Needs to learn to not throw hands at every possibility and not scream just because, but other than that, he was definitely my favorite character in this whole circus.
2. The cute and caring moments.
3. Some funny moments.
4. Beautiful views.
Things I disliked:
1. Zero to no personality from the main character. Not only that, but Do Ha keeps acting like a child while being a grown man who can't make decisions.
2. They really could've gone lighter on sound effects.
3. They keep repeating the same scenes over and over again after we've seen them a hundred times already.
4. Predictable plot. Listen, I don't mind when the plot is easy to read, but when the series is advertised as "Ooooh, I wonder who the main lead will choose," and then you go to watch the series and in the first two seconds you can already tell how it's going to end? It just takes all the excitement off the table.
If it were advertised as "Main lead's childhood friend is trying to become his boyfriend after having a crush on him for 10 years, now that there is some competition on the horizon," then it wouldn't be a lie and also wouldn't be deceiving anyone.
