Bad plot with bad characters

This drama is pretty bad. The beginning was ok, I found it interesting because K dramas usually don't discuss about sex so openly and even less about one night stands, but the show just misses the oportunity to make an interesting aproach to the theme. You'd also think that a female lead for this type of story would be empowered and liberated, but she's just the classic wall plant K drama protagonist. Seriously, she has no personality and is so passive, she never actively chooses what she wants to do, instead she's always being pushed into situations by other's choices while she (barely) reacts to everyhting around her. She could be replaced by a bed lamp and it wouldn't change anything in the drama.

The male lead is also a flat, stereotypical character. I got mad at him cause he was constantly using his position as CEO or whatever to get the fl to do what he wanted and the only reason she was ok with it was because he's hot and rich. All of the other characters are also one-dimensional and are there only to fill space, because they're ultimately irrelevant. The single one I cared about was the protagonist's best friend, but he almost never showed up.

It's very irritating how most conflict arises from mere lack of communication (which could easily be fixed if the protagonists weren't so stupid) and the constant indecision of the fl make the story hard to digest.

I'm still giving this a 5 cause there's some nice fluffy scenes so I get how some people might like this, but I sincerely don't recommend this to anyone.
