SO much introspection that it's depressing . Female lead is not likeable
Be prepared, this series suffers from the greatest guy is the second lead syndrome .And Ignore the artwork & the intro, this is NOT a light hearted romance. It deals with deep hurts: parental & friend abandonment ,jealousy, betrayal, slander, suicidal thoughts , social anxiety, deep depression. On the other hand the theme is every woman's fantasy : no matter how dull , depressed or lacking in charm you are, men will want to rescue you, fix you, fix your life & be doggedly devoted no matter how much you push them away. Ugh! The love matches are inexplicable and there's an odd love triangle (that's really a 6 sided love) which isn't as complicated as it is just dumb because it's all due to lack of communication.
Let's be honest: the main girl is not loveable. The guys attracted to her are idiots as she's a broken extreme introvert who doesn't want human interaction. She is constantly pushing people away from her & yet also is very needy . She, herself admits that she does not know how to love. Every interaction with her is hard & she doesn't want to expend the energy to even accept love. Still, there are happy endings for many of the characters. I never warmed up to any of the women in the series. The men , though attractive, would need alot of stamina to maintain a relationship with any of the women as they are all prickly & pretty selfish, even in their selflessness.
Spoiler
why would a socially fearful, highly introverted girl even be interested in an effervescent, puppy like guy who is cringingly stuck in constant Aegyo mode over an understanding ,patient & quietly supporting. guy who's been around a long time, proving himself in small but meaningful ways ?
