At its core, this was a really fun watch. I liked the character of the female lead (who started off doing cringy and ditzy things but quickly showed she was capable and headstrong) and I thought there was a really fun relationship between the leads. I also liked the female best friend.

I did not like the male best friend who seemed stalkerish and creepy, and I also thought the random addition of a love triangle with a later-introduced childhood sweetheart was unnecessary.

Ultimately, though, there are a lot of cliches in this, from the second leads' and side characters' cookie-cutter personalities to the actual misunderstanding tropes that they used.

My problem with the latter came in that there was a sort of disjoint with cause and effect; it was like the writers knew they wanted Character A to react this way and go through a specific emotion, and so they created a situation for that to happen. But the situation didn't warrant that big of an emotional response, so the addition of sad music and tears just made everything seem overblown.
