I was interested in this show because it was unique concept. However, the main couple's story line was just terrible. The FL's character was so boring even during the beach scenes when she was supposed to be intriguing. (I have nothing against Kim Ji Won, but I just never find her characters to be interesting, I don't know if its the writing or acting.) Anyway I didn't understand why the ML was so obsessed with her to the point that he becomes an alcoholic crybaby for years after meeting her. Her "big reveal" to explain her actions ( I read about it in an episode recap) was so anticlimactic that I am glad I dropped the show. I would have been mad to find out she acted like such a turd for such mundane reasons. Then after all the crappy behavior she still ends up with the ML? She deserved to be alone.

Also, showing people being obsessively in love after years of being rejected or ignored is just not a healthy example. I can't even finish shows that use that trope anymore. Writing characters such as the ML encourages people to just keep obsessing. No means no, move on, there are 8 billion people in the world, go meet another one.

I was happy that the characters were written to approach sex the way adults would. I am over seeing characters in their late twenties (even through to their forties) being written to act appalled by a simple hug or as if a closed mouth kiss is taboo. I don't think characters need to have full blown sex scenes constantly but if shows could stop having fully grown adult characters act like preteens afraid of cooties that would be great.

The secondary characters were more interesting but still not enough to keep me watching. I really do not understand how this show has such high ratings. If you are somebody who understands that Romeo and Juliet is NOT a love story, then you probably also disliked this show.
