I think most people do not like it because who wants to see a ML be depressed for half the series with no progress and he keeps getting misunderstood by everyone. The FL is selfish and takes no interest in the ML until episode 10. Literally no interest, no care for the ML at all even though he is fawning over her like a dog and a bone. All of her emotions are due to her own self-interests and she really does not show anyone compassion, but she is supposedly a nicer person than ML who is stern on the outside due to his pain. The FL says "he is impossible to read" but takes no effort to actually try to understand him until it is right in her face. He obviously cares about her and wants to help her; why else would he sign the radio contract, but she does not take this into account and only sees ML at surface level for over half the series.

The ML basically acts as a simp for the FL which is also annoying to see and only after the FL sees him cry does she start to care for him. All everyone does is use the ML even the FL. When he finally tells the FL he likes her, she brushes him off. Even when she remembers him she brushes him off saying, "did you think i would say i like you when i remembered". Literally took til the end of episode 9 for FL to realize ML was the one hurting the most. Even after she kisses the ML and accepts his feelings, she still goes on a "date" with the SML and the ML even calls her and asks her to not do it but she says "ill do what i want", not taking into account ML's feelings. The FL is honestly grotesque in this story and i have not seen a worse FL in a romantic drama. Even after they are dating when the weird SML confesses to her, SHE ACTUALLY CANCELS HER DATE WITH ML AND HAS TO THINK ABOUT HER FEELINGS and this decision actually hurts the ML deeply. like WTF? are you kidding me....the ML is absolutely obsessed with her and her feelings are surface level. She is so selfish and so uncaring to others feelings, it is actually disgusting to watch. The actress is great but the character is badly written.

You can sympathize with the ML and his traumas, but since there is no progress and he is treated like dirt for the first half of the show; you will lose interest. It feels like when things go wrong, the ML is always the one understanding and apologizing first. The moment when ML met FML mom was a good scene. She was the one person that tried to understand him and said he was a good person. It took til episode 5 for someone to care about his feelings and then right after the annoying SML comes in and ruins the scene. Like can we not get one touching moment with the leads? do we always have to do this BS triangle plot. So many times the ML is gonna have a moment with the FL and then SML comes in and ruins the scene. The SML is actually a weirdo. The FL never once showed that she liked him but he keeps touching her and acting like he owns her. When she gets caught going to a hotel with ML he has the audacity to yell at her like she belongs to him or something. She doesn't like you buddy, move on creep, but at the same time FL is equally to blame. Seems like no-one gives a damn about ML. Even when they get together, the ML does all the legwork in the relationship.
