The leads make the show a good watch! but all the other scenes are meh.
The chemistry between the main leads was great and their emotions toward each other was good to watch at first. Their love for each other was strong from start to finish and their conflicts with their love due to misunderstandings was done well. Problem is they did not really focus on their relationship at all. Finally when they get together, they still show the SML chasing after the FL which makes no sense. Also you did not even get to enjoy the leads relationship because when things stabilize, melodrama comes in and the ML has to move to New York while the FL stays. All the other side plots were not interesting and got old after awhile. A lot of the plot was on the SML, i guess they wanted the actor to get a lot of screen time but it really made me go from liking the show to hating it.
The triangle wasn't annoying at first because the FL only ever considered the SML like an uncle or older brother, but they kept making it a part of the story even up til episode 15. The SML is a nice guy, but it is just weird to see an older guy chasing the FL when it is clear she does not like him romantically. He comes off as a creep to me and completely ruined the show for me. Like he confesses to the FL early on and she rejects him but he still keeps acting annoying. Eventually, I had to skim through the scenes with the SML because it was just too annoying and creepy. He knows she loves the ML and the ML loves her but will not give up. Even when the leads are having an emotional moment about finally reuniting he has the nerve to say "dont go" "if you cant go to him just give me a shot" "just give me a try". The FL never lead him on and only treated him as a friend, but he acts like a creep. All the scenes with the SML and FL were just creepy. The SFL was good and she was a real friend. She did the normal thing when she knew the ML and FL loved each other and let the ML go. The SML however does not care about anyone else but himself and keeps being a creep. And finally when he steps aside we are supposed to think of him as a good person for doing the right thing and that it was a good moment? She clearly stated she likes the ML and has no feelings for the SML so what other choice does he have? why flip a coin to say whether or not he will give up? SHE DOES NOT LIKE YOU BRO, end of story. And even after "he let her go" they still show scenes of him being sad while looking at cute moments between the leads. He took advantage of FL being a good person to constantly harass her. It was absolutely disgusting to watch. The SML chases the FL til episode 15...even though there was no deep connection between them. He just had a crush on her and slightly helped her with her career as a mentor, but for some reason the SML keeps acting like a creep even when the FL dismisses him multiple times. Like even after the ML and FL are dating and kissed, the SML basically kidnaps the FL lying to her and then he takes her to dinner and an amusement park and they walk romantically down the street. like wtf is going on. The FL is too nice but cmon, what BF would want their GF going to an amusement park with another man, especially when that man has explicitly said he likes her. AND THIS IS AFTER HE SAID HE WILL GIVE UP ON HER. I get that they made it seem like oh they are going on a friend date before he says goodbye, but then he comes back and hugs her again the next episode! Like make up your mind writer...he says he gave up on the FL like 3 times and still keeps harassing her until the last episode. It is ridiculous. And they have the nerve to put on sad music during his goodbye scenes. How is it sad? She does not like him, get over it. She loves her childhood friend who also loves her back. Why is it sad that she does not like some creep?
The ML and FML make the show and their scenes were beautiful to watch in the beginning. It was refreshing to see leads so in love like that with nothing coming in their way. The misunderstanding was nothing to them due to their love. I was so glad they did not make the reveal melodramatic. The ML loved her so much he blamed himself and not the FL for lying to him which was so nice to see.
By the end though you kind of disdain the FL. She was very selfish herself and did not really acknowledge the ML's feelings. It felt like she did not love him as much as he loved her.
