leads' chemistry can't turn a coworker-abuse drama into a slapstick comedy
ML and FL relationship is very sweet. But the plot is mostly about how FL's coworkers/fellow students mercilessly bully her and threaten to/try to kill her and her unborn baby, and you really can't morph that into a slapstick comedy, no matter how sweet the leads are. Also, It's never explained how such a wonderful ML can raise such a HORRIBLE daughter who has such an evil character.
Also if you know a whole squad of people is after you trying to hurt you, maybe don't have the ML answer a call and say, "Let me take this call -- you go ahead and 1) go shopping, 2) go to your evil parent's house, 3) go to work, 4) go get a glass of champagne at the event." Maybe you both could make a plan together that doesn't result in her being a sitting duck.
