This drama is a mess and then some. ML was an emotionally constipated jerk with anger issues, FL had zero self esteem nor any respect for herself, plus her favorite hobbies were drinking all the time to the point of alcoholism, sobbing and wallowing in self-pity to a masochistic degree. Which, tbh, fits the narrative of EVERYONE and their cat using her as their punching bag without her ever fighting back. SFL was a fake ass barbie who creeped me out with her toxic positivity, need for attention and obsession over ML, and SML only trait is "woe is meeeee" while having the personality of a blank drywall. ML's sister needed therapy and AA lifetime meetings/counseling. Actually they all needed therapy, or in ML's case a better therapist because whatever tf he is doing it was clearly NOT working.

And while we are at it: the characters' consumption amount of alcohol is downright on a "yall have a serious alcoholism problem danger level. I hate hate HATE how this drama depicts drinking, like korean drinking culture is one thing/unhealthy enough, but to show characters "solving/drowning" their problems in alcohol to the point of them blacking out EVERY SINGLE TIME/NIGHT is downright dangerous and irresponsible.

I have rarely seen such a concentration of unsympathetic characters in one single drama, be it side or main characters. The romance with its push and pull/back and forth and outright refusal of any communication (mostly from ML's side) and her dependency on ML to feel any happiness was frustrating and very unhealthy too. And yet, and yet I couldn't stop watching it and i didn't even know why. For some unknown reason, I kept rushing from one episode to the next, fascinated by the mess one single writer could create while oddly STILL rooting for any characters to get a grip. Well, in the end, it has never happened, to no one's surprise, not even my own. So i guess this must have been the famous traffic accident (pun intended, given its plot) effect, where one should look away but can't. And imo, this sums up this show best.
