Maudlin series with alot of bickering. Leads lack chemistry
I put this aside for awhile because initially there was too much discussion of sex & innuendos in the first few episodes & the personalities of the leads didn't seem mesh-able. Nothing really grabbed me & made me want to watch more.(yes the Male lead is attractive, but his demeanor & the things he insinuated were off putting. didn't feel that the leads had any spark & female lead was not written well (in the episodes I viewed) Turns out that my first impressions were spot on! After I picked this back up I thought perhaps it did have a certain amount of charm. I thought the concept of the radio/songs intertwining with real life was somewhat interesting. Unfortunately this is more than a bit of a maudlin series. Though there are blessedly few, if any, misunderstandings , too may secondary characters are over bearing & really push too hard for thier own agenda & make themselves completely unsympathetic when you know the writers are trying for the opposite. Too much bickering !Also, sadly, the leads have NO chemistry and the romance is a hard sell. The male lead is either a terrible actor and can't emote or he is directed poorly. The female lead is boring & slightly unappealing. The kisses between the leads are awkward & boring. You can give them a pass to begin with since it's supposed to be their first time in love but as they kiss more, it just looks like 5 year olds kissing. Cold, embarrassing, tentative & immature. I could not figure out why a nice second lead impulsively proposes to the abusive trashy girl. And the lead's happy ending is a result of a VERY unromantic proposal. it doesn't help that after the big reveal of the mystery behind the male lead's trauma, you actually like him less
