I feel you. "Stellar reviews" are starting to become a red flag for me. Something can be really bad but…
Right?! Why are the most boring, soapy, one-note dramas getting praised while anything that involves nuance and emotionally complexity gets the "too boring" reviews??
It was based on nothing, yes! The overly attached trope (*coughs* stalker) only works if the object of the pursuit is so uniquely fascinating to the subject that you get why they're obsessed with them. This was just an old dude in a village. Wow, so worth it being pathetic for!
LOVE this! i couldn't have said it better. it's not just the creepy relationship that tries to be sensual but ends up ridiculous, it's that it's played for melodrama while it's unfathomably boring. When I saw the good reviews on this drama here, i knew i couldn't trust mdl
Longer answer: dating shows are rarely good with half the cast wannabe influencers and half just doing weird shit for the cameras BUT this one is a little quieter and more substantive than others. You see a lot of the casts' interactions as they are all living in a shared space and last season there were couples worth watching for

Yun So x Yu Jin
Jun Han x Ju Hee
Si Won x Ji Seung
I have rewatched the same 30 frames 100 times so I hope I'm right! (not that I like the pair selection, but it's the beginning)
