The series definitely makes the most of its theme of unrequited love, and it's not only the female characters…
I absolutely agree with you that some of the male characters also experience the same thing. It's probably just the theme of unrequited love that brings out all these "crazy" actions. I've probably noticed it more with the female characters so far. Then I'll give the series a chance for a few more episodes ;-)
I just finished episode 11 and don't know if I should keep watching. I don't know the story and haven't seen the 2019 version. I am shocked because of the low self respect of the female characters. Like they are willing to do anything for the guys even if they treat them badly. Can anyone tell me if this gets better? Wouldn't want to watch a show where an unhealthy relationship is supported.
