Too much filler, not enough story

I loved Reply 1988 and Reply 1997 was pretty good so I really wanted to like this, but I couldn't even finish it. It just felt like 90% of every episode was filler and just killing time, rather than developing the characters and storyline. In fact there's very little character development at all and despite watching 10 episodes, I still don't feel like I know the characters well or care about what happens to them.

This is especially the case for the main characters, the show didn't give me any reason to get invested in their lives or care about their stories. Na Jeong is the centre of the show but there's nothing interesting about her. Her main trait in the first 2 episodes was being a basketball fanatic, but that is never mentioned again over the next 8 episodes. The fact she is attracted to someone initially introduced as her brother is very weird. I don't know why anyone in the love triangle is attracted to each other, they all seem like blank slates.

The other characters were more interesting but unfortunately they were mostly kept to the side. Despite supposedly being about a friend group, it's ridiculous how little time they spend together. It's not until the 6th episode that they are all in the same room together hanging out, until then I didn't feel like I even had a proper introduction to them. In the first 10 episodes, I don't think Na Jeong has more than one conversation with Samcheonpo, Haitai, Yoon Jin and Binggrae. These supposed friends seem to live parallel lives.

Finally, the show over-relied on toilet humour. The episode where everyone got food poisoning and was constantly running to the toilet was the worst one.
