Lags and Gets Boring

I started this very interested in the concept and curious about where the story would go. The monk angle as one of the Lead Characters was one I hadn't seen explored before in so I was fully invested in the first few episodes. I even binged and didn't sleep to watch the first five or so episodes.

But then the story didn't advance. Not significantly. The secondary characters became intrusive since time spent with them meant our lead characters didn't advance their story...and their story needed to advance.

FL is gorgeous but when she has a change of heart in the latter episodes it's so sudden it seems unrealistic...and ML's obsession with her was steadfast until it wasn't near the end and then it just seemed forced and a glaring plot device. And it bothered me how the ML stalked and even kidnapped her to force her to love him. It was bad enough that his grandmother was horrible, but he was so obsessive it stopped being cute or trope-y. It was just plain toxic.

It also frustrates me when repeatedly the characters try to kiss and get interrupted. By the time they do in the final 2 minutes I don't care anymore.
