No SML Syndrome here

The concept was refreshing and felt different than your typical K-drama. The first episodes were really cute and there were a lot of funny moments, but things start to quickly go downhill when the female lead feels torn between the two guys that like her. There wasn't enough conflict driving the narrative and so it was hard to stay invested in what happens to the characters. There really isn't much of a plot. Both the SML and SFL are unlikable and I didn't feel invested in what happened to them. In fact, I have never disliked a SML as much as I do Kang Hee Chul. His character was really one note and I found myself fast forwarding on all his scenes. I did like the main leads but their complicated humorous love story wasn't enough to keep be invested for the 16 episodes.
