Great Chemistry directed/presented badly

Their chemistry was just off the hook. That first kiss oh my gosh... BUT there was a big problem. The way they edited, and presented the story was just the worst. The transitions from one scene to the other were choppy at best and made no sense. They would just cut conflicts in the middle and go to another scene, especially after leaving us on a cliffhanger in the last episode.
They kept putting touching scenes that would have been important at the moment to be shown as memories later on. But then, at the time, they didn't show us, the viewers, that it had happened and just chopped it to a different scene. So we were left wondering whether the situation was fixed or not.
Things that should have been drawn out like a panic attack the Main Leads we're having would just abruptly cut to them waking up the next day as if nothing happened. Also, not only chopping the scenes but chipping full episodes into these 30-minute chunks just ruined it for me and made it feel tiring.
I generally like when they get over conflicts quickly and don't linger in them, but this drama made conflicts into a joke by making them irrelevant and like they never happened 30 minutes later.

The only reason I gave it a 6.5 and not a 5 or 4 was because they really did show tons of couple time. Tons of times of them being together and loving each other and progressively changing. The end left a smile on their face and I was happy for them. But the director or whoever chose to present this story this way did a horrible job.
