Underwhelming and shallow

Started off strong with an interesting story line and a wonderfully well depicted setting in an ecommerce world with an angel investor (ML) . The FL gave a single note shallow performance. Sorry to state but all the emphasis in her acting was on her dresses . Nobody in the startup space dresses the way they showed her to. And worst of all was her catwalk prancing. Every long shot of her walking ( and they had too many ) would show her walking her ramp walk-- very fake and distracting from the story. Her acting too lacked dept, emotionality. The ML did put in a decent effort and was sincere to the character .
Add to that the tropes kept tumbling out every few minutes. The FL hurt her foot umpteen times and was carried about by the ML, very conveniently present. The FL tumbled into the ML's arms a number of times - the dreaded trope of unstable females, who haven't learnt the art of walking yet. The FL got wet in the rains few times with the ML ready to minister to her .
Even the ML offering his coat to the FL happened 4 times..... enough to keep the discerning viewer frustrated at the poor quality of writing.
Then ofc the problem of exes-- here we had 3 quite criminally inclined exes. Hullo anyone herd of graceful moving on? some dignity in face of a long lost love? The rest of the world manages to dt quite well, why does Cdrama world lack it?
The truth is the writers had story enough for 16 episodes and afterwards simply tried to fill up the gaps by repeating the story sequences.
Should you watch it? Ummm only if you are a fan of the leads. Nothing else justifies this ho-hum act where the sole shining points were A) the ML's acting B) the FL's dresses
