Fun watch but terrible chemistry
The story is interesting enough to keep you hooked, with well-developed characters who all have their own distinct personalities. There are plenty of genuinely funny moments sprinkled throughout, and the entire cast does a solid job of making their characters feel believable.
Unfortunately, the romance was an exercise in patience. The female lead seemed to treat the relationship like a game of emotional ping-pong. One episode she's passionately kissing the younger, inexperienced male lead, then the next pushing him away, showing us that she is the immature one. Just when you think, "Finally! They've figured it out," she announces she's going to "follow her heart"... only to dump him again in the very next episode. Rinse and repeat. By the end, I wasn't rooting for the couple anymore—I was rooting for the poor guy to quit the show, find a therapist, or preferably a nice woman who doesn't treat commitment like a revolving door. Someone get this kid a hug... and maybe a dating app.
