This has nothing to do with the actor's individual skills by the way I am a huge fan of ATEEZ and others but sometimes the writing can be a little bit cringey and cliche which makes the actors look bad.
It's really so different from the webtoon, not necessarily in a bad way though because it was a very entertaining first episode. I feel like the Loveline between ryoc and maha is a bit too cliche and stereotypical but it was only ep 1 so whatever. Acting is mediocre so far I probably wouldn't have watched if ateez wasn't in it tbh lmao. Again I know its just the first episode but I hope they don't just focus on Maha and Maha only the whole drama because I want to see some backstory with the other main characters like yoojin and la lima.
