Waste of time

I have never been compelled to make a negative review because they are not worth my time but I just have things to get out there or it will just continue to bug me since it will all bundle up and annoy me. I literally didn't enjoy a single thing about this drama except from the 1st episode in which we get introduced to the two main leads and the supporting cast, maybe it was the best part of the drama because we haven't experienced all the bullshit to come from everyone.

In Kdramas you can feel various emotions like happiness, sadness, tension but for the first time ever in a drama, I felt genuine anger towards to show. Around episode 6-7 where Lee Soo got in a car accident and missed the timing which caused the CEO a Woo Yeon to meet and go out just pissed me off so much because it seemed like the writer just loved to make the two main leads miss each other by the hair in every situation.

I'll be honest I did not like a single character in this show, maybe with the exception of Jin Joo and Sang Hyuk in which they were the only bearable characters. I can tell a lot of people got Second Lead Syndrome which is warranted but I got 'Everyone's a Brick Wall Syndrome'.

First off with the main male lead. I can't like I was really looking forward to him due to Ong Seung Woo but not even he can save the abysmal character that he is. They introduce him as someone who's heart and actions say one thing but his mouth says the complete opposite, like seriously. It was so obvious that he like Woo Yeon but for some reason, he just friend-zoned her time and time again. His cocky narcissistic personality was also so annoying and I don't know how Woo Yeon fell in love with him and stayed that way for 10 years.

Woo Yeon's character also made no sense to me. Why go into relationships purposely knowing you love another person across the planet just to hurt the person you are currently going out with. I disliked her indecisiveness and how she always second-guesses herself. Like if I was Lee Soo I wouldn't like her too. Her character was that boring I literally have nothing to say about her.

The CEO character was also a massive wet wipe. Literally holding everything back being tough on the outside and insecure on the inside. When he realised that Woo Yeon might really go to Lee Soo, he just became plain right annoying with his stalker vibes literally going to where she works and waiting outside her house. He just doesn't know when to give up.

The supporting cast in this drama wasn't anything special in this show. The couple that went out for 10 years was just hard to watch at the female just kept self wallowing in self-pity and didn't know when to accept help and just to overreact and get angry at the people around her was stupid. Her boyfriend deserved so much more for putting up with her. I actually quite like Jin Joo's story that intertwined with Sang Hyuk as they eventually got together after having to jump a few hurdles.

The OST was not anything special to make a not on, to be honest.

Overall I should've listened to my gut around episode 7 and dropped it but my eagerness to see Ong Seung Woo and Shin Ye Eun in a relationship overpowered that and it wasn't even that special, it just felt really different can out of place compared to other dramas I just don't get it. Anyway, I only recommend this drama if you don't give a damn about the story and is only there for the cast in which even that could do that for me. I hope Ong Seung Woo takes a better project next time as he deserved more.
