Fell off towards the end

Premise is hilarious; it was funny to watch nothing go according to plan for our main character in the first half of the show. The second half kind of fell off. I think what made the second half weak was that it became too serious: trying to present a greater meaning to a completely ridiculous situation. It's easier to overlook the plot holes when it's just a comedy; but when you start getting serious, the plot holes are harder to ignore.

I was expecting much more

Things I loved

1 The premise. I thought it was genius and that it would be perfect for some funny situations and maybe some deep thoughts.

Things I disliked

1 Everything else. Mostly the actors. I didn't connect with any of them and certainly not with the main leads. Something bothered me the whole time. Maybe the feeling that the ML wasn't happy or that I disliked toughly the FL actress. It felt like she thought she was some important character and she acted that way. I didn't find the cast endearing or funny. So at the end of the day it wasn't as good as I expected.

2 The ending. It should make me happy and it did in some way but I also felt depressed seeing the ML and his interactions with the rest of the team. His acting wasn't great anyway, one expression the whole time, but even his smile made me sad in the last episode.

Disappointed

Won't discuss details, started superbly. Great plot, awesome ensemble. But the main character is stuck with one face/look of dejection from the middle of the series until the end. His sulking and separation spoiled it for me. Worst 3 chapter ending I've ever seen in any drama. The other actors and characters deserved so much more. He was hardly in any of the episodes at the end. Still not sure what he was doing, nor do I care by that point.
