Clueless leads ineptly fall for each other

ML takes filial piety to a whole new level in his pursuit of FL to fulfill his deceased father's last wish, to take care of and hopefully marry the daughter of his former business partner. FL is completely turned off by his romantic gestures as he hounds her with the same zeal that her brothers creditors have. It is only due to later that she agrees to the former and enters into a contractual relationship.

Both quickly fall for each other, but are too clueless to pick up on the social clues and a comedy follows as they keep getting bad advice from those around them. It is only through the lubrication of a "wee" bit of alcohol, that the two discover their true feelings for one another.

Both have enough problems on their own comminicating, add in a couple love rivals and a unscrupulous corporate rival to the mix, and chaos constantly ensues. ML's rival is somewhat sweet and pitiable, but still wanted to confess after discovering the leads fake relationship had become real. FL's love rival was completely unlikable. She did everything she could throw shade on FL and even went so far as to almost destroying ML in an effort to be indispensable.

One of the dramas failings is a certain lack of closure with regards to FL love rival. Yes, ML discovers how she screwed the pooch, almost destroying the company, but the audience never discovers how he ends up dealing with the black hearted tart. The two leads continue to live in her rental apartment, rather than move into the FL's apartment. Weird, right? One must also just assume ML wins against the corporate rival as that storyline is left dangling. One must also assume that ML's father must have been FL's Daddy Long Legs, sponsoring her throughout her college year.

Overall, this drama was sweet and fluffy, but it is not destined to be a must watch drama.
