I get that most of us do not feel the romance between the two leads, but it is clear that there IS romance in this drama as we can tell from HY being upset thinking that Yunxi used her. Well personally for me, the chemistry is there but it is not very strong.
I read some comments talking about how they felt zero chemistry and I would say they would most likely feel that way up till the end as I do not think the remaining 5 episodes will be enough to build up anything more. (there is still so many things unresolved, leaving lesser screen time for our leads to have meaningful conversations that'll build it up)
I swear, fml and her mother are acting their asses off and ml is just like p_q .... he's doing nothing with his…
I thought the same only around the start... up to ep 25 he seems to be slightly more expressive but nothing out of the extraordinary acting like the other main casts, which does in fact do not make him stand out but I do find his action scenes very well acted, on the brighter side.
