Starts strong, but doesn't hold up in the last half

I felt the female lead was irredeemable. I didn't want them to end up together, because she just selfishly used him the entire time. Then he became so boring, spineless, and puppydog-like that I stopped feeling bad for him and figured they deserve each other.

This drama starts so strong! I enjoyed the first few episodes so much, I can't believe it completely lost the plot and went in way too many directions. I actually liked the "reality show" direction, but I feel they could have done better with it. I was also disappointed that the humour (which was well done) didn't really carry throughout the show.

Ultimately, there are a lot of likeable, well-written side and secondary characters... but they kind of wrote them into the dirt in the last half? They didn't really *do* anything with them, and they became flat uninteresting and one-note in the later half of the drama.

Would I watch this again? No, probably not... but maybe? There is one couple who very much redeems an otherwise uninteresting show, and makes me happy I watched it. Overall, I've never seen anything start so strong and end so dull.
