Have seen unrealistic, stupid FLs, but this beyond everything!

I had high hopes for this drama since Kikuchi Fuma did a very good job in acting from day one. Especially in the first episode, we were only shown that Takumi doesn't like Yae. But in the second episode, that's a whole different story. The immediate changes in facial expressions (when Yae wasn't looking, he was cheering and such) were so cool to me. At first, I thought of him as a cold, arrogant male lead character. Fooling me was what got me hooked on this drama despite the FL's stupidity. I thought, 'Yeah, character development must be awaiting.'

But what the heck was episode 10? When it's clear that Takumi doesn't have feelings for others, much less a stalker ex who came back after, what, seven years? It's fine if Yae doesn't have feelings for Takumi, but pushing an ex whom he didn't even date for a month towards him? The girl did him dirty, and she absolutely has no right. And it was so unrealistic when an ex asked a wife to divorce her husband. Man, what the hell?

Also at this scene, I strongly believed this must be the turning point for Yae. Maybe from this point, she would start thinking for herself because where the hell do we have any other time to develop her character when we're already in episode 10? I was hoping she would have a proper talk about this before things escalated (maybe after episode 10 she may have, but no, I won't watch; I'm fed up). The logical thing to do was to ask Takumi if he has any feelings for her and confront the ex to make things clear, so she won't barge into Takumi's life again.

Finally, I know this is a drama. I've watched dramas with unrealistic, stupid FLs, in which they had at least some common sense, but this level of unrealisticness can't be tolerated. Writers should think twice about whether the audience would buy it when they make a character extra vulnerable and out of this world.
