Meh - sweet, but not that good

I thought it was ok... it dragged a lot and the side plots were terribly written. It seems to be a combo of an original story with a festival of common tropes (the youth love, the poor clumsy dumb girl with the genius wealthy guy, then they break up due to lack of communication and reunite years later so it can become a workplace story where he's the CEO and she's an intern...yawn).

There were parts of it that were sweet and original, but the main couple had less coupl-y scenes than the second couple (which I'm now wondering if they were secretly the protagonists in the head of some of the writers, their scenes were adorable). The female lead took a whooping 24 episodes before she could admit to liking the male lead. That was literally all that was standing between them. This whole time. And for no good reason. Well, he'd gone abroad and all that, but had she admitted to liking him they could've figured it out. And then when they finally got together we had more sideplot, sideplot, sideplot and barely any couple time. I feel like I should've watched a condensed version that was about 1h long, it would've been much more enjoyable.

Points for no manhandling, and no creepy stalk-y non-consensual stuff (although there may have been creepy stalking with one of the side couples, I fast-forwarded a lot of that). Female lead was a doormat and very childish. Male lead was expressionless and lacked personality. I like the actor though, he was lovely on Find Yourself.
