A tedious drawn out search for "the one"

First: the promo picture (on this site) is not in the movie. I watched this solely due to the good reviews & found it Disappointing. It did feel a bit dated, but I've watched series from mid the 2000's & enjoyed them. The beginning is very confusing & with no dialogue or voice over you just don't know what's going on. Then you flip flop between the lead's stories, which are not interesting . Finally, we are led into a tedious drawn out search for "the one". The last 5 minutes were the most interesting, but the resolution falls flat because we are never given a satisfying conversation between the 2 people that the whole plot revolved around. The lead female (Im Soo-jung) was made unattractive & written unlikeable. Her issues with not seeing things through to the end aren't given a reason (childhood trauma due to some issue with her mother, who is absent & never mentioned, would have worked !). And for having no reason, she comes across as selfish, paranoid, but mostly uncaring. She has no chemistry with the male lead & there is no reason the two come into attraction. The female lead's forwardness to the men she turns her attention to is just badly done. I just didn't find much about this to like, though I wanted to see Gong Yoo in a lead romantic role, but this was not a good vehicle for him.
