Not bad but could be shorter

I did not go in to this with much in the way of expectations. The show was overall enjoyable to watch, the ML and FL were cute together. There were some interesting criminal mystery elements but the linking together the ML and FL through a past crime to create drama was just unnecessary and seemed forced. The show really dragged out the main murder mystery, too. I think overall the show could have been far shorter than it was.

Also, I am really tired of the Noble Idiot trope, one person deciding they know what is best for everybody for reasons that really don't make sense to anybody (audience included.) For me almost every romance series becomes unbearable from episode 8-12 (16-36 in this series.) because a lead decides they need to break up for the good of the other person totally disregarding that person's feelings. I fast forward through all of the romantic longing scenes because they ruin the show for me. I think it would be more interesting to show couples learning to work together and the conflict that happens from being together. I just wish writers would find a new formula.

Rhetorical question: What is with exes showing up in these dramas and acting like their former partner betrayed them by liking somebody new? You left, stay gone. There are billions of people in the world, make the SL somebody new and intriguing.
