It's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. I have to give a special highlight to Park Seojoon and his incredible comedic timing.
I was a little hesitant to watch it because I always see people saying that the male lead is very problematic in terms of narcissism, But honestly, I just found him hilarious.
And I don't think the drama tries to romanticize or normalize his behavior. Quite the opposite, we have a lot of other characters who constantly point out his weird behavior, including the female lead itself. In the first few episodes, you are not supposed to find his actions romantic ou anything like that, you supposed to look at him and think, "Damn, this guy really doesn't understand anything about relating to people."
He's very narcissistic, and I think portraying that kind of character is very difficult when he's the protagonist; it's practically impossible to make him likeable in the first few episodes. But that's what character development is for. I personally really like his development throughout the story, especially because it deviates significantly from this wave of "greenflagization" where male lead needs to be this perfect guy without any character flaws and no bad attitudes since episode one.
The main relationship is beautiful, and it surprises me that they managed to create such a healthy relationship when it had all the makings of a disaster.
