No substance, very frustrating

This drama was made with great aspirations of the writers to make it as close to reality as possible. But I'd say, they failed, pretty badly.
It starts off with a nice concept of "taking interviews" which I thought was interesting. But no matter how much I think this interview was the most illogical and far from reality concept ever. Did these "interviewers" go around interviewing the whole of Seoul? If they didn't try to explain the phenomenon of the interview I would have let this slide. But every character was told about what others said..it was a mess. The way they tried to explain the interviews was what made it overall dumb. Let's just say I'm nitpicking, but other than this was there no problems? Nope, there were.
The whole show had no substance other than one man crying over why she left and another crying thinking about how she hates herself and needs to punish herself and him for her shortcomings, not even explaining to him. This concept is pretty common in dramas but the problem is that's the main concept of the drama. It was just frustrating and annoying.
The second couple were cute, they had their moments. But they went and ruined it in the end.
*spoiler alert*
Let's just say the open ending isn't the problem but the fact that she was being super illogical and I completely support the second male lead in the matter about why they broke up.
The 3rd couple was just ¿¿¿¿¿ like what was going on I have no idea. They did so many illogical things unprovoked.
The couple in the first few episodes had chemistry, they were kinda cute. But um talk about an unrealistic relationship, suddenly he loves her and then they marry??? Like wtf??? And then she runs away?? All in like a month or two. Even though I know she has a reason, I hate the whole concept. The show is such a mess istg.
Another problem is how I never related to any of the characters especially the women, they did dumb things unprovoked. The men were more bearable, but no one was interesting enough for me except maybe goan.
We also had minho on the show, I really didn't get his purpose honestly. Suddenly when the writer had nothing else to talk about, we saw almost the whole episode with minho. I could see the writer struggling with absolutely nothing to write about.
The best part of the show was the scenery and the way it was shot. I love the filters too. It also had some interesting music sung by some great artists which were nice.
The point about different relationships and how people love was what the writer was trying to convey, that point was interesting, but the way it was presented was awful.
There were some cute and funny scenes here and there that made up for the mess like 20%.
But the show is pretty bad.
