Skip if you want to keep your sanity as a modern woman

Marketed at a romantic comedy, but quickly devolves into a poorly written family drama.

All characters are written to be caricatures with over exaggerated characteristics that don't make sense given their backgrounds. Smart working woman - an ace at her job but doesn't know how to date or find a good man. Easily convinced out of her values. Workaholic, chauvinistic computer programmer - thinks women should take care of the home while he brings home the dough, even though he was raised by a single mom with a career. Sees love as a programmable compatibility exercise. Young, rebellious sister - thinks that her older half-brother should just take care of her since her parents both died, despite that her father left him to be with her xiaosan mom. Older retired and divorced mom - lives life with a chip on her shoulder as she was left for a younger, prettier woman. Seeming strong and independent, but still holds a weird emotional tie to her ex and allows her son to disparage women's work.

Where's the logic? Why are these types of characters still written in 2022?! Dropped at episode 15 because the workplace harassment arc was too problematic to even touch with a 10 ft pole. The writers should be ashamed of themselves.
