Had potential but went downhill with poor execution and unnecessary lengthening

This could've been on the top along side dramas like Sky Castle if only it was executed well.
Messy with unbearably repeated scenes, I've never excessively skipped through a drama like I did with this one.
Unnecessary added drama just to stretch it to a 21 episodes. Like the whole Ro Na misunderstanding with her mom, I've never seen something as unnecessary as being dragged just to make the episodes longer.
Lots of holes, like Mr. Joo's panic condition? Once it's there and glimpse of a dark past and then it suddenly disappears and he's suddenly okay with blood?
The acting was amazing, and all the actors did very well, I guess that's what made me finish it.
I will most probably not watch the next two seasons and again I'm really disappointed since this could've been a great drama but I guess the creators wanted to take advantage of the hype for Sky Castle & The World of The Married and stretch this drama for an easy cash-grab.
