desperate shirtless men who have sand for brains, selfish unlikeable slappy women

OK so there are shirtless guys wearing tight pants-fine, if that is all you are interested in-enjoy. I'm not into watching sports of any kind but I started this as a way to unwind & it DID start out very sleep inducing. Then it actually got interesting. I actually found myself caring about the wrestling matches & rooting for the Lead. Still, I started to lose interest around Ep. 7, when the build up of community gossips, and Plethora of women slapping men became over done. This is becoming more & more a cultural divide for me, for which I cannot stomach. Why is this "comedy" ? It's a trope that's past it's expiration date. I started losing serious interest in Ep 8. You've got a whole town of aggressive, loud, slappy females & it's tiresome. The the lead female repeatedly puts her own agenda over supporting the male lead & it's pathetic & sad. She is selfish & undeserving of the male lead's affection. But, apparently all the men in the community are desperate & stupid, deserving thier fate as punching bags because it what they choose. By Ep. 8 the sweetness of the story soured. I pushed through to the end, and have to admit that it ended well. If you removed all the female slapping/hitting men, cut out the males lead's irritating family scenes, AND trimmed down the amount of wrestling scenes a bit- I'd give this a solid 8.5 . Sadly, there is just no fixing the unlikability of the female lead. I would re-title this : they had sand for brains.
