And this is why it's not worth watching a drama only because of the main lead

Watching Coffee and Vanilla has been... interesting, to say the least. The cast is hot and there's something compelling enough to keep watching, but that's where the pros end.

Risa wants to experience her novel/drama love story and what she gets seems more like a poorly written y/n fanfic lol. They meet and 5 seconds later they're dating and oh wait now they're engaged??? And in the following scene they start living together and it's like trope after trope but everything happens so fast I just can't process all this shit!!!! The chemistry between Risa and Hiroto is pretty much non-existent and it's so uncomfortable trying to watch the intimate moments... the guy really tries to make it seem sexy while this woman stands there with her eyes closed and being stiff like a plank. I refuse to believe these two fuck on a regular basis as they're trying to make us believe! Hiroto tells her to take his clothes off or kiss him or something and she looks at him as if they hadn't been having sex since they started dating. Anyways, I've seen Dori in a better role but I don't have any references with regards to Fukuhara Haruka so idk if Risa being that way is because of the character or bad acting.

Ok I know I've just ranted a lot, but despite all of these terrible things... I was hooked? I had to look away continuously because of the second hand embarrassment, but tbh I had a great time making fun of it and it was a short watch. Still, I don't really recommend it.
