Dumb story with dumb characters

After 10 episodes I decided to drop this drama for reasons I'll address below:

ML is a typical CEO: cold, arrogant and demanding. FL is cute, nice and lovely. He is her boss so we got that dynamic where ML exploits and abuses of his power over FL, and she just goes on with it bc sHe neEdS The joB. I'm a little tired of these kinds of plots. But it was still quite enjoyable in the beginning. However, it felt like nothing was actually happening most of the time. The drama has a comedic tone so most of their scenes are supposed to be funny or even cute but not swoony or deeply romantic. At least in the first 10 episodes it's just him ordering her around and remembering her of how unnexperienced and dumb she is, while she just flatters him because of concern of being fired. It wasn't the right energy for me. Also, I don't think I understood the humor. I laughed sometimes but for the most part it was kinda boring.

The plot seemed a little dumb from the beginning. And like is gonna be really hard to get through 36 episodes without it falling apart. I mean, 6 eps in and nobody has any depth and everything is just played for laughs. There's no real plot. Surely this drama could be 15 episodes shorter.

I personally didn't like how FL acted like a child sometimes. The tone of her voice, the way she runs, how she behaves in general. It's all so silly and childlike that it bothered me. And it gets worse when she's put in contrast with ML's cold demeanor. He behaves more like an old man. And that made it difficult for me to feel their chemistry. Not to mention how he cannot let us forget the reasons she isn't made to be a lawyer. It's funny how in the office he insists that men and women are equals while at home he makes her cook and clean for him. Such a hypocrite!

SML is such a cool guy. I like him. However, the way he crushes and pursues SFL is a little weird. It's an almost stalker-like behavior. And their relationship felt vague. Like, did they spend a night together or not? Why didn't he make things clear with her sooner? I was confused.

That was pretty much it. It wasn't one of the worst dramas I've ever watched. But it could've been waaay better.
