Toxic relationship romanticised

So my biggest take away from this drama is that if I was 21 or younger I would be highly influenced by this seemingly romantic relationship and fantasise about seeking something similar myself. Now as a less impressionable woman in her late 20s I can safely say this is just 10 episodes of pure toxicity. If you take that away you're not left with much at all. There's no real story and what there is of one is utterly un-realistic, the chemistry is lacking between any of the characters and the FL is treated like a piece of meat throughout. Dori is gorgeous to look at, but I didn't find him believable as on older leading male. Also if you came here for steamy romantic scenes, look elsewhere. There's no passionate kisses here. I just feel the FL is taken advantage of and is constantly love bombed and gaslighted.

Maybe I'm taking it all too literally but I struggled to enjoy this drama with all these negative themes. I endured it in the hope the FL would find a backbone and become confident in her own skin. Sadly this wasn't the case. Maybe the manga is better?
