Off to a great start but that's all

This drama starts with a very promising set off. The enclosed boy who has a lot on his plate meeting an outgoing girl who dreams of being independent. Personally, I love the whole "opposites attract" trope, the hyper independent guy who wants someone to lean on and the very cared for girl who wants to gain some of her independence, fall in love and realize that what they originally wanted for themselves wasn't what they truly missed.

I was very happy with the first episodes of the drama when it started but later on it became so boring and actually non-comprehensive. Maybe I need to blame the Netflix subtitles for that cause half of the time I couldn't understand what the chatacters meant with all these allegories and philosophical talking that actually added nothing to the plot. I had a general difficulty to understand WHO was the second male lead, how was he related to the FL and all in all, why was he there😭.

The dialogs were so dull and even by the way they were executed by the actors you could feel the boredom radiating. I am saddened to rate this like that but generally the whole point of the plot was missing. Get together, break up and then repeat the same motive again and again. Also the ML's self hatred really tired me out.
