Great concept...delivery could have been better

I absolutely loved this series until around episode 5, then it got tedious and boring. I'm not sure why. I fast forwarded through episode 6, 7, and 8. The ending left a cliff hanger so there is a possible second season. Here are my pros and cons:

Pros:
1. The concept for the story was really good. Three inept people find out they have superpowers but don't know how to use them and just bumble their way through sticky situation after sticky situation. I laughed out loud several times.
2. The comedic acting by the major actors was really good.
3. The music was outstanding. It partnered the odd, the absurd, and the funny really well.

Cons:
1. I guess I'm just tired of the bumbling, ditzy, way-too-exuberant female lead to the cold, silent, stoic male lead who somehow fall in love with each other. The relationship part of the two leads was just annoying. I wish they would have left that part out.
2. I watch this with English dubbing. Whoever they got to do Park Eun Bin's voice was annoying as hell. Her screaming was awful, and I think that was one of the reasons why by episode 5 I was just over this series.
3. The ending with Chae Ni's funeral and then she just shows up all smelly and dirty was stupid and unrealistic, and then they have Un Jeong running and running to get to her. Too cliche' for me.
4. It was funny, hilarious and cute in the beginning, but the funny got really annoying and that's when the series went downhill for me.
