Typical Cliched rich CEO, poor girl trope

I'm not gonna complain about the cliches in this show because that kind of provided a nostalgic escapism that we used to get from earlier kdramas like Boys over flower, What's wrong with Secretary Kim etc. This one is slightly fresh (just slightly). I was more invested in the 2nd couple though. Good, light, sweet drama with great clothes, houses and food. All great.
HOWEVER. (and this is the biggest pet peeve of mine)...

However, the sheer amount to dumbness the main characters showed was mind-boggling. The CEO ML is apparently a genius but cannot discern the overly-obvious similarity between Shin Guem Hui & Shin Ha Ri?!?! Even while attending the concert, when the same dial tone played, the same injury was seen on two different people on the same day?! Even when he was outright showed Shin Ha Ri on the video commercial BTS!? That was frustrating to watch...

Coming to Shin Ha Ri... by comically trying to run, crawl, make faces while attempting to hide your identity, you're bringing even more attention to yourself!!! Well thank god the CEO is dumb but my God this woman knew how to be centre of attention while trying to avoid being centre of attention.

I know this is supposed to be chill, sweet, funny romcom, but this is 2022...surely better job could've been done on writing out the characters. Even romcoms can be funny without making the characters overly dumb.
