Too much prejudices and a wasted potential good storyline

The first episodes were understandable : they were creating the plot, the atmosphere and so on. They were really good, captivating. But there were too much prejudices about gay people, even by people who think they were open-minded (just listen to what the main female lead said...). And after these few episodes, the story line was completely messed up.

I mean, the whole thing was about the heterosexual romance, there were just a few moments with "potential gay love". I think the drama could be better if they really developed the plot around the lie of being gay : Park would maybe developed feelings for Kang ; I'm not saying that they should end up as a couple, I'm just saying that the main plot wasn't even developed... Just too focused on heterosexual romance and it was way disapointing. I really regreted to watch it until the end, I really should have dropped it when I saw there were not really a real thing about gay romance/feelings.
What's more... The actual heterosexual romance was a big mess. The girl was a regular at the bistro but Park never had thought too much of her or anything. He even never asked for her name until she brags about her job. And since then, he started to have a crush on her ? The thing that was really stupid too, it's making Park always talk about her, like when he buys food in the beach or when he chooses something. It's really stupid cuz the character never hides the fact that he has a crush on her, it's too much clear.

The acting was okay, Kang was a really great actor, I really was feeling his character. The OST were really good too, to be honest, the main theme was really enjoyable and I really like to listen to it.

I rate it 5/10 cuz I enjoyed the first episodes and the acting of Kang and some moments of this drama, but I will never rewatch it ; but I have to at least put 1 to the rewatch value, I can't put 0, it makes an error pop-up. Also, I don't really recommend it.
