Is it possible to make such a drama

I never actually write reviews but I had to this time because I've wasted more than 12 hours of my precious time to watch this shit.
And I don't want others to waste their time
I was following this drama for quite a long time but didn't get time to watch it. I didn't get spoilers or anything.
I've solely followed because of SHS. She's one of my favourite actresses in Korean dramas. I love her acting and confidence.
But this drama is literally nothing but all the garbage I've ever seen. I didn't expect this from the Cast.
To start with good things I've to say about music. Except that I can't appreciate anything. Some times music gave that depth to few scenes.
Acting: Such a poor acting those funny acting we expect in a high level drama are present in this but you see. I'm not ready to expect that fun because it doesn't compensate poor script. Shs was very poor in this especially when she acted as hye ri. Like literally I didn't find that happy bunny pretty girl any where. Everywhere she was depressed and some awkwardness is these in her actions when she was acting like hye ri. She was not at all chubby cutie as she was expected to be. All those explained by 2nd ML's mom is inducing into our minds that she's bunny girl but no she's not. I thought he picked up in the middle but again it fell after few episodes. ML character is just narcissistic toxic crazy boyfriend or ex boyfriend. Like he never gives time or space for FL to move on. Always getting into her business just to give her that SLOT. I don't know how can announcer hold such a power to make these things. If he rejects that slot they can give it other good candidates but those stupid superiors give those positions to FL just to blame her for taking that place and behaving like crazy. I didnt know announcers change this frequently in any shows or news I watch, it's literally crazy.
1st ML is character is very easy. Just make the Most worst Red Flag you've ever seen. Like he literally breaks up and runs to her whenever he wants. Why? Because why not. No one knows any logic. He helps FL when she gets sick and asks her to get sick at times so that he can take care of her . WHAT??? Like seriously you want her to be sick????
Don't judge yet if you think he's the only person who can think or talk like that. You're making a grave mistake. We've our 2nd ML, like WOW, he wants her to be sick i.e to get her dissociate character again just to be happy. He repeatedly asks FL to get her back. Like asking her to stop getting treatment for DID just because he likes that dissociate character???? I don't get it at all.
I don't know why that 3rd ML is given those hardships. It was like he begged some role and they game him some hardships and few dialogues and few feelings towards FL. Why'd he get feelings towards FL like she's like sister in law to him. I didn't get how that worked.
Story: ________
No story
Yup no story to explain because they wanted to address DID - failed
Address past traumas - failed
How relationships get complicated ? - failed
They tried to induce that complicated love story and relationship with all their might but how can you when you develop character and then write story??? Buying horse after getting it's whip ?
How do everyone love FL out of nowhere
What??? 2nd ML likes her because she came to him as he is?..... How did he summarise that? On what basis and what circumstances? At last he realised he has feelings for that colleague after she left for her career ? Why? Because she's going to move on from you.
1st ML realised he still has feelings for her when he realises she moved on ? That doesn't solve all the trauma he had before. They just sit and talk for 1 night and they just heal each other? How???? What did they do in those 8 years of relationship??? FL said that they were serious when they were dating and not playing around. Without talking about all these trauma and childhood and fears what did they do in those 8 years without playing around?
In making 2 characters for DID for FL, they successfully made 2 characters- 1st and 2nd ML with same toxicity, narcissism and sometimes same dialogues.
Side characters have no importance and no emotions except fun. They turn whole serious situation into fun where it's not necessary.
Everything clumsy, irritating and frustrating.

Is this drama or brain twister

After a long time break from kdramas, I've watched a very good drama. I can't say I'm 100% satisfied but everything that happened is too much for me to handle. For someone like me who completely immerse in dramas it felt like a full blown roller coster. So much happened in those 16 hrs. I've tried telling my frnd about the drama after watching but that's when I realised it beyond explanation. I can't say it's cheating drama or any thing but I can't say it's not. It focused too much on everyone characterisation which is a good thing that when you binge watch it becomes overwhelmed. I can say it's totally worth for a single watch. I've never seen a drama focussing this realistically with mental issues. It's good to watch that main lead so strong and vulnerable at the same time. Whole cast gave 100%.
What's the drawback is the incidents are too forced. Like whole world is around the female lead. It appears everyone is taking advantage and everyone is betraying her but it appears artificial and there's nothing that comes out of this. At last all the betreyal is justified and everything. Male lead dying is shock for me. I had go back and forth for confirming what I just saw. He was all ok and good and for twist of eternity he died and everything started as a s2 within s1.
That second lead just too much. I didn't like him that much his character has too much twist to intensify but there was no in depth charcter development like the other people. His whole life is surrounded around the female lead. Come on who goes on waiting for 30 years for a girl who's elder that him from the age of 6 to 7 years who saved him from bullies. No logic on his part.
Few segments are very good I had decent amount of tears rolling over my face. Whole drama is a roller coster. I'd have enjoyed more if I saw it leisurely but binge watching 4 days before my exam is bit too much rushed. Any way it's worth it.
