Frustrating Watch

Another show that I don't feel that it deserves the rating. I cannot get pass how the the characters in the house can fall in love with one another so quickly without much scaffolding. The ML and FL is not comparable at all because they have different values to life and this was the first time in a drama where I am rooting the FL with the second ML. And it doesn't make sense how she can still be so close to the second ML at the end when she got together with ML. The FL can't perform the crying scenes and that is consistent with her other drama, Silent. And her emotions tend to be exaggerated. There were alot of communication issues between ML and FL and I don't see how they can be together in the end. The artist and the counsellor romantic line was slightly better than the ML and FL but I am still quite unconvinced about it especially because the counsellor move on from FL to the artist in one episode. In a gist, the show was bad because the romance felt so shallow to me.

And also whenever the ML cooks, they will insert this cringey editing and soundtrack to highlight his 'charm'. It appears in every episode, do they have to do that? It works well at first but it just becomes kind of bad when the segment appears in every episode...
