Not even surprised at this point

I don't know where to start . Honestly i had a really hard time trying to finish this drama. The story is way too messed up and unacceptable. At first i had fun watching it. It that a cute love triangle thing going on but as the episodes started going onward, it went downhill. Our FL is a dumb stuck up who's been in love with a guy for 8 years or something and can't forget him no matter how she tries. She dates other people while being in love with this dude and breaks up eventually because she can't love them back and she's supposed to be pitiful for that? She keeps calling the dude whenever she's drunk like a creep and keeps confessing to him from time and time again just to get rejected but never learns her lesson and tries again.

The ML Lee Soo , played by Ong Seong Wu, seemed to be an interesting and edgy character at first. I was actually happy because the previous roles played by Ong Seong Wu were timid and shy so it felt fresh to see a new side to him. But as time went by, all that the ML seemed like was a jerk who couldn't control his emotions and kept pushing all his troubles under the rag. He'd have sudden outbursts and take it all out on FL and make her cry. The Fl was nothing but a punching bag to him but then he suddenly realises his feelings for her and we're supposed to sympathise with him and cheer him on? I think it's high time we should stop applauding the MLs mistreating the FLs because it's his way to show love and it's justified because he had a bad/sad past.

Honestly i really liked the second male lead Oh Joon Soo. His character seemed mature and understanding and to be honest, the only sensible adult among the leads. All he did was treat the FL with love, care and kindness but got nada in return. He didn't deserve such a pathetic ending. He was true to himself and his
feelings until the end.


The other characters like "Jin Sang Hyuk-Han Jin Joo" and "Kim Young Hee-Shin Hyun Jae" seemed fairly good, it seemed fascinating and compelling . Sang Hyuk and Jin Joo had a light, bubbly relationship were as Young Hee and Hyun Jae had a more realistic relationship. I enjoyed the segments were their stories were being told and it wasn't as much boring comparing to our FL ML's story which felt more like kids whining for lollipops. I saw character growth in Jin Joo, Young Hee and Hyun Jae but our FL Woo Yeon seemed pretty pathetic till the end and I guess Lee Soo learnt not to be an emotional baggage to everyone but i wouldn't say he was completely enlightened and finally matured but definitely better the Woo Young. Just one thing i never understood is that what in the world did Woo Young do to have two handsome men fighting over her. lol because at least one of them were sane.
