zero chemistry leads

I so wanted to love this drama. There are so many things about it that I love!
The plot line is something I enjoy; a regular, slow/paced romance and a lead couple who communicate and don’t let silly things get between them. The gaming element is fun too.

Unfortunately the acting leaves much to be desired. The ML is fine, I would probably enjoy him in a better written show.
The FL is stiff and heavily heavily dubbed, which can be uncomfortable to watch as the dubbing isn’t synced very well. At the beginning I liked her, but as she interacts more with other actors her stiffness becomes very obvious.
The more the two leads interact, the less I’m convinced of any interest between them. I like a story that starts off strongly with the leads falling for each other but it’s soooo badly written, I simply cannot believe or understand how they come to like each other. The actors also have NO CHEMISTRY!

Really, I don’t blame the FL for the poor overall quality of the show. The writing is horrible and production made a lot of decisions with the finish on the show that make it more cartoonish than dramas should be (aka the dubbing).
The terrible writing made it impossible to like any supporting characters.

One trope that I despise is a group of men gathering around the FL like her protectors just because their friend is dating her. it’s so unrealistic and I wish we could drop it and show normal friendships/ interactions between a couples friends.

unfortunately I’ve had to drop halfway through, but I’d love recommendations for a similar storyline that is executed a lot better!
