Wow 고다림 has a heart of gold but things don't sink in fast for her, do they? 🤣🤣 Anyways overall I would say the writers' plot design is very average. Very patchwork. Many unnecessary diversions like sml and the company scandal stuff. Chemistry of leads is insane though and makes it watchable.
What I particularly liked was how realistic the story was. For example, how the highly attractive, wealthy male boyfriend lead followed the FL, a hypermasculine dour girl boss around like a puppy dog, satisfied with a few crumbs she dropped here and there, and when she decided at some point that she preferred celibacy, he was all for it, planning to stick with her for the long term so he could continue SIMPing. It makes a lot of sense! Many such cases. This is definitely what men prefer.
Gotta say though, if a woman is just straight up aborting interactions and dropping obvious lies repeatedly on multiple dates, just move on, ML!
