My incredibly poor rating for this drama is mostly due to my dislike for how back and forth the male MC is with his behavior. He's so mean to the female MC but then so nice the her best friend. This extreme hot and cold behavior was so abrupt and uncalled for that I couldn't define it as anything other than being unrealistic and completely annoying and infuriating. I really went into She Was Pretty with high expectations, having watched many trailers and funny clips prior to starting it. I was hoping to enjoy the drama based on the high ratings and the promising clips. I was so disappointed that the male MC was such a horrible person toward the female MC. The reason why I dropped the drama was because I couldn't stomach knowing that the female MC would essentially end up with her ruthless bully. The atrocities of his behavior just couldn't be redeemed in my eyes. I knew that by the end of the drama, I wouldn't be happy for the female MC because his prior behaviors were a true indication of his poor character and therefore, no, I wouldn't want her to be "happy" with him. We are all entitled to be displeased by someone's work, but that gives you no right to treat them as inferior (which the male MC did multiple times, in front of others in a *professional* setting nonetheless). People can like this drama all they want because we're all entitled to our own opinions, but coming from someone who *has* been bullied, I cannot be moved by this kind of love story.
