Is it the script writing or the actress?

Like most of the dramas Taecyeon stars in I started watching this one solely because of him. In the first few episodes I was happy thinking it's an entertaining drama, brushing aside the constant screaming by the FL because at least it made her look somewhat fierce and independent (I know it's not really by choice but still) But once she starts falling for him that attitude changes to a submissive one where she constantly has the same -for lack of a better word- pouty/resigned look on her face.
Suddenly, this woman that used to scream and make a vampire dance to her tune, ends up completely emotionally dependent. While she managed to live on her own before, in the course of the drama it seems like the the ml becomes the only one she is living for. Her saying "He's not the one who needs me. I need him" just doesn't sit right with me
I know it's not so far from the truth to have people with past trauma or depression have these unhealthy relationships and emotional attachments, but it's not a healthy way to cope so why romanticize it?
This drama is full of characters obsessing over each other in a very toxic way.
I just finished episode 13, so who knows what turn this might take, but I couldn't help but be bothered by the only two ways I have seen the FL lead express emotions. Like it says in the title I can't really tell if the script writing is at fault, because they wrote her to be either screaming or resigned or if it's the actress being unable to portray emotions differently. What I do know tho, is that the script writing is at fault for writing the FL to end up entirely depending her will to live on the ML.

Some of you might not be bothered by this, which is fine, since Kdramas aren't supposed to be taken too seriously anyways but I really needed to speak my mind and see if there are like-minded people.

I'm still planning to finish this drama just because there are only 3 episodes left and also, let's be honest here, because I just love Taecyeon.
