Horrible.

This show was genuinely crazy in the worst way possible.
There was a racism plotline that made the FML seem even worse than she already less, I get morally gray characters and characters with dislikable traits however, I found myself consistently rooting for the second FML for the sole fact that I hated the FML. The FML justified the racism in her country on the basis of continuing the status quo which was weird, she told the black guy BORN IN KOREA to LEARN English because he looked like someone who should have known English so he should just conform to others judgements and standards. Somehow, her friend ends up getting a crush on her and as a result he outs his trans friend for NO apparent REASON, he of course gets some bad redemption arc and all is well (it's not)

Also, don't think I forgot the ML, I hated him, his grudge was reasonable but by the end of the series I didn't care that his dad was murdered by their rival solely because his character was just as if not more annoying than the FL. He left the FL walk all over him and disrespect him and didn't care. His mushroom cut did not help.

The only thing that keeps the rating above 1 is some of the side characters, Soo-Ah, Hyeon-yi, and Toni. They were all cool characters who were likeable.
