Hi cliché?‍♀️

Characters aren't developed well, lacking dimensions. Formula drama; rich handsome boy (minimal love experience) meets poor misunderstood angry and rejected girl. His assistant and her roommate are the side love story, always meeting in a cafe; if you skip half of each episode, you miss nothing. Hi cliché has cliche conversation contents, the long walks, long car drives, the workplace rumors, sexual advances, secret affairs, very public rejections, and exploitations by ugly old male bosses, the after work so-called team building boss bullying dinners and drunks, the hopeful and very persisting moms and their home made side dishes, the fake relationships turning real, posting of pictures/stories on social media to just be a nuisance & ruin careers, the terriblly ill fitting clothes, the mall jewlery and clothes shoppings with boss/boy friend, the boring confession events. Everything is thrown into this drama but the kitchen sink! Each episodes starts with going around the circle of the main characters, half way in the schemers/gossipers/old dudes ruining young couples do their thing, and last 10 minutes it shifts to the secondary couple eating and yapping nonesense with no ryhme and rythm. They could easily skip 10 episodes of useless interactions in cafe/restaurant/parks/village to build a more in depth story. Anyhow, it seems, the story is written by a 14 year old. Characters literary hand feed you their life story by repeating same lines and describe their personalities and life histories rather than acting that allows audience to formulate their own perception of characters. Disappointing Cliche. What a waste of money, time, and air time!
