It's bubblegum.
You chew it up till it has no flavor left and then you spit it out.
It's a transitory amusement, devoid of caloric content or nutritional value. Cheap, pleasant, and disposable.
It is MOSTLY as-advertised: Stylish, yet vapid and implausible on nearly every level, in a way that reminds me of BoF the K-version only somehow even dumber and more shallow. The J-tropes are there. Our FL has a rock bottom EQ and a martyrdom streak a mile wide. ML says he loves most about her: Her smile and her hard working attitude. Wowwww okay then.... But this statement just tickles the FL pink. So happy to be noticed for her grace under slavery! Awww.
The emotions of the viewer just are not evoked. Saved By The Bell is more emotionally engaging than this. I watched a documentary about a honeybadger that was more emotionally engaging than this. The music department held up it's end of the bargain, and did it's best to evoke emotion without clobbering the B-tier-at-best performances of the actors. The bgm was subtle, pretty, and probably the most emotionally intelligent aspect of the drama. Scriptwriter seems to have been on quite the cocktail of prescription meds to think this was something worth attaching their name to, and producer seems to have had one too many mimosas when agreeing to pick up said script.
All this is - if you watch j-dramas - basically surmisable by the thumbnail photo, title, and synopsis. Nothing there would be a surprise, you kind of already know what youre getting into.
BUT what is NOT as-advertised, is the TOTAL AND COMPLETE LACK OF SPICE. There is no romance, there is no kilig, there are no butterflies, there is no chemistry, and there sure as sh*t aint no spice. So with THAT being said, then WHAT THE F*CK IS THE POINT OF THIS SHOW. There is no point to this show. NONE.
Much like a piece of bubblegum.
