Depressing version of Sparkling watermelon

Because of the name and the posters, I came in expecting about 60% romance and 40% mystery. but got 99% Mystery and 0.001% romance. I was disappointed because I'm here for the romance and not so much the mystery. but I stayed for the plot because they did such a great job.

LIKES
-the dads young character is just chef's kiss
-ost is awesome and I like the costume designs for the throwback themes.
-the suspense is kind of fun
-the redemptive love of family. Thought-provoking.

DISLIKES
-the first few mins were so confusing, I don't know what I was looking at
-FL: Her voice, her acting, her face, everything about her bothers me and then she was also a really annoying, unlikable character for 80% of the drama.
-no romance at all, not even chemistry
-though its themes are similar to sparkling watermelon it's heavier with easy less joy and no romance and less optimism.
-Feels like the author is playing mind games with use the audience and making everyone suspicious with no real reasoning

Overall, if you like mystery and you're like just beginning and you don't care about plot holes than this would be the thing for you.It's just really good with the suspense.And the twist , but if you care about plus then this is probably not for you. But for me because it was so compelling, produced, the actors did such a great job too. OST was amazing.I can't fathom giving it less than an eight out of ten. So it's a solid watch.
