Annoying and dumb female lead character made me drop

I was excited to watch this drama because of Fan Shi Qi and Judy Qi and the familiar 2nd/3rd male leads were a plus, but Ke Si Yi (Judy Qi's character) is so annoying and dumb that I've decided to drop this.
Xu Nuo (ML/Fan Shi Qi's character) was fine and refreshing from the typical "domineering boss" characters in c-dramas since he was not unreasonably cold/cruel IMO and still had a human/warm side to him that is not only directed towards the female lead, who does not deserve it IMO.
KE SI YI though. I started this because I wanted to procrastinate and it was on my plan to watch list, but I regret the time I spent on it. She had potential as an MMA fighter, but all that potential ended up drifting into two other female characters who barely have screen time. For someone who was surrounded by such a competitive/tough environment, you would think she had some common sense or at some brain cells, but the only thing she is good at so far is MMA and cooking. Her character is the typical dumb/annoying/"cute"/"warm"/"friendly" female lead in these types of dramas, but she is by far one of the worse since she lacks sense in general. She is said to be extremely empathetic as well as have high morals/ethics, but she uses a dumb reason to go against them and for someone who is supposed to be that intuned with her own and other people's emotions, especially the ML's she would have a better understanding of how the world works (in a broad sense since I don't want to spoil anything if you do decide to watch it), but the female lead wants to make you punch a wall or ram your head into a wall.
I think the dubbing also made the voice too "cutesy" and childish so it was even more unbearable.
