Headline: Spoiled brat stalks spunky woman who should kick him in the balls but doesn't

My title pretty much sums up this drama. I started watching it because it was rated pretty highly, but the more I watch the less I like it. The main male lead, Joo Won, has been incredibly unlikable for over half of this drama, and nothing he's done has redeemed my initial impression of him. He's a pompous ass who thinks his feelings and wants are more important than anybody else's, and he thinks it's a given that everybody should care about what he feels, but he doesn't see the need to care about how others feel. I really don't want to waste another 9 hours of my time waiting for his character development, because I already hate him. At this point I honestly don't even care if he improves tremendously in the latter half of the drama; I've already wasted my time watching 11 episodes of this drama go literally nowhere. I've spent more time urging the female lead to kick Joo Won in the balls, punch him in the face, and file a restraining order, than I have spent rooting for their relationship. Honestly, the worst thing about this drama were the kisses; I never once liked them. In fact, one of the kisses left me yelling at the female lead to use her nails to gouge his face, or use her knee to destroy his manhood, because he forced himself on her and instead of ACTUALLY defending herself (she's a stuntwoman for God's sake, she knows how and where to hit to make it hurt), she ineffectually hits his arms. That scene was beyond stupid.

This drama has it's moments, sure, but they are few and far between. The best character by far is Oska, the main guy's cousin. I love Oska; he deserved to be the main character. I shipped him and the female lead, they were actually cute together.
