Awkward, frustrating, dull

This is the first kdrama I have had to drop, though I did force myself to get as far as episode 9, and then realised I simply didn't care what happened to any of the characters, and life is too short to wade through the remaining episodes.

First the positive - the ML is adorable, particularly when he smiles, which is sadly rare in this drama. I think it was only those dimples that kept me going as long as I did.

The FL is very pretty, I have real hair envy but oh my goodness, her character is so insipid, I found her totally frustrating. On the rare occasion she did or said anything remotely assertive, she even got that wrong.

The worst part of all is the awkwardness, oh the awkwardness. I am shy and socially awkward myself, but the FL takes it to another level. Watching her made me feel like a raving extrovert for the first time on my life. I actually found myself cringing inside multiple times each episode, witnessing her awkwardness. There was also zero chemistry between the leads.

In a nutshell, I found this show painfully slow, cringeworthily awkward and none of the relationships felt authentic, and I just couldn’t connect with any of the characters.
