Disappointing but cute

I liked the synopsis of this story so I came into it open minded but finished it feeling uninspired. There are three major things that didn't work in this drama: the casting, the plot, and the tone. The casting was not done well in my opinion because I felt no real chemistry or attraction between the main leads or even the second leads. In a romance there has to be some level of believing these two people want to be together and other than the cliche close slow motion moments I didn't feel a connection between them. The next issues are the plot and tone which go hand and hand. The show is trying to be a romantic comedy (heavy on the comedy) while still having very serious events happening which I felt didn't go well together. I don't like a scene where there is threats on a persons life and then fart jokes. It lessens the stakes and I am confused whether I as a viewer need to feel worried for the leads or laugh. Maybe if the jokes were funny I'd enjoy it but I felt like a lot of it was childish and weird. I wouldn't recommend this drama...
