Unintentionally Funny

Ok, so maybe I'm not the target audience of this drama. I haven't read the source material and I'm 32 years old but this was so unintentionally hilarious. Also to preface I don't believe in Love at 1st sight, I find the whole concept childish and shallow. First of all I love the male lead. I think I might have rated it so high because dayumn! Anyway the female lead leads much to be desired. Maybe it's written in to the script to act like an 8 year old who is bewildered at all times and has no concept of what the real world is like but I think it was an acting choice. If I saw one more surprised Pikachu face from her when the kissed or hugged, something they did quite a lot I was going to scream. Also, is it not stalking if you're classically handsome, cause that man definitely stalked her. She'd be just walking down the street, or in school, or in a restaurant and bam, that man would show up. Does he have a GPS device on her, why is he always there? Why does she have no spine, isn't it hard to stand up? Why did she continue working for a man who sexually assaulted her? That's not normal, her letting her friend date her boyfriend too because she saw him on the street and said she fell for him, what a toxic friend she was! Actually all of her friends were a bit toxic, that one guy was her friend just because he was in love with her. I liked that she realized that she needed to change but ugh, too little too late. I had so many unintentional laughs while watching this. Their kiss in a closet where he smirked at a guy that was interested in her was hot. It just seemed somewhat wrong, their whole relationship because he was definitely an adult doing adult things with someone who acted like a child. So many of their actions were just inconceivable, they wouldn't happen. IDK I might watch again just to see the male lead's face but he pops up in a lot of jdramas so I don't even really need to. Yeah, this show was a mess!
