I will say before I get into the pitfalls of the plot, that I thought the actors were all really great. They are what kept me going through this show. I can't tell you how many frustrated tears I cried about how the plot was developing mostly because Seo Kang Joon especially kept me supremely emotionally invested in the plot. I thought all of the actors were really great. I believed them. I felt their pain in their eyes. The problem inherently to me lies in the writing. The main lead and female leads characters are just the worst. For the male lead, there is Tsundere...and there is sociopath. And the amount of red flag behavior that the female lead justified and brushed off was such a concern for me as a woman. If I'm watching a romantic plot and the male lead is someone I would warn my friends about or even have an intervention because that gives me a pretty large cause of concern. I just couldn't really enjoy this show. It stressed me out and made me unhappy and Im pretty relieved I managed to get through it.

It's nice to see some early roles that are well acted from actors I really enjoy, but if you aren't here for a purpose like that I would honestly avoid this drama unless you like being frustrated and upset and the end of a drama.
