Main characters have ZERO chemistry

Watching the main characters interact is so awkward. ML is expressionless, FL makes the same suprised/dopey expression after everything ML says. It's not just the bad acting and direction. But the script doesn't make you invested in the outcome of their relationship at all. Every time they interact they are socially awkward around eachother yet they fall for eachother somehow. There is no scenes showing them becoming friends or having fun. Just long drawn out awkard scenes and the same facial expressions.

The supporting characters are pretty boring too. And pretty much all the men besides the ML are sexist and superficial.

There is also a bulimic character in the show. And they have product placements for the diet pills she takes. And several characters are shown drinking diet drinks. It's pretty disturbing that they would use a character with a debilitating eating disorder to shill diet pills.

I watched True Beauty a awhile ago it stars the same ML. It has a kinda similar concept except the FL in that show becomes popular after she becomes good at makeup. I think it's also based off a webtoon. Don't bother with this show. If the concept sounds interesting to you, go watch True Beauty instead. It's actually one of my favourite k-dramas. I have no idea how this show has nearly as high of a rating as True Beauty.
