Overdramatic and unconvincing

This drama has a refreshing synopsis and is aesthetically pleasing, but the execution is incredibly cringey as a woman past her mid-twenties. This drama builds up on the mystery of why both of the characters are so angsty and no longer together. Why they still think about each other, and loved each other. You see how depressed and miserable they are, see flashbacks that gives the viewers a peek at what happened before, but the ultimate reason for it is just so stupid, and unconvincing. The drama tries very hard to be edgy with how they present the character's personalities, which is where the cringe comes in for me. It tries to sell itself as a show that presents a realistic and raw relationship, but nothing about it seems that deep at all, and anyone who has actually been in a relationship could not take their relationship seriously. The FL was rude and dismissive, and the writers just expected the audience to root for her to be with the ML just cause she has family problems? K-dramas thinking that family/mental issues is a good enough excuse for repeatedly treating someone bad needs to come to an end.

For this drama, I just dropped it after they get back together, because it was just so lame and i really did not see a reason to continue watching. Note i had to force myself to even watch that far, because most of the time the drama was so boring and uninteresting, and I don't see how anyone could actually watch it while thinking "wow this is so interesting." I could not care less if the ML and FL even got back together in the first place. Also, the most cringey part of this drama is the weird idol plot line. For a drama that aesthetically is trying to position itself as a realistic slice of life drama, it just felt so out of place to have a random character with bleach blond hair that's an idol...
