the script wasted the talent

The cast will make you want to watch. Don't put yourself through it.
I intially was in love with this drama. An older than most main character, still chasing his dreams. His family and their lives. Best friend and the class differences between them. Love interest and her trying to also reach her dreams. And it's set in the fashion world. I was sold on this premise! And the first half delivered. I looked forward to the new episodes being posted on Netflix every week. Then somehow, towards the 7th episode or so, it was like I was watching a completely different show. The script and the dialogue became routine, stereotypical, see through. AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON HOW A SHOW CENTERED ON FASHION TREATED THE GAY STORYLINE IN SUCH A TYPICAL AND DISSAPOINTING WAY. In the end I didn't even have the drive to at least finish it to see the outcomes. Not even to see what happens with grandpa, the best character. I honestly was annoyed at it by episode 9 and by 13 I couldn't take any more. It didn't do anything new whatsoever. The cast deserved more honestly. I can't even rec it for something light or to binge when you can't find anything else because it gets so tediously boring and monotonous.
Just skip it, honestly.
