Documentation, adding data to my list,lol.

First of all, great acting from all the cast. I can't imagine trying to act like they are in love when in reality or in the background they haven't met that long. My main dissatisfaction is, I think they couldn't bring the original material into the screen well enough that it greatly hindered it's quality. Unlike other manhwa where you are abundant with content to show, the manhwa this show derived from is apparently short. In my opinion or guess they wanted the show to last at least 10 episodes, to cover the costs in production, so they added stuff that is genuinely not related at all to the story, one example is the company owner who went bankrupt, after watching the show he had no actual purpose whatsoever in the story. I honestly think that they should've just added more to the story to comfortably make it a twelve episode drama, and to also make the story more comprehensive. As seen with the reviews and comments they are confused, and were bored, and lastly disliked it, due to a lot of reasons. First is that it was about a guy stalking a girl, obviously we see the story through the pov of the ML so it doesn't come off as too creepy but can you imagine it in the real life. Second is that the pace is really slow, I understand if the plot needs the drama to have a slow pace but this time it was due to production reasons. But for the third reason I will blame the audience, I think the drama isn't confusing at all and wasn't made to be confusing at all, it might be because of translation error or something but, as long as you actually watch and read the subtitles, there is no way, at least to me is this confusing. One thing is the chemistry wasn't great in fact, I was amazed that they could form tears interacting with each other even though they've rarely met in the background. Unfortunately the ending felt like nothing to me, the chemistry wasn't great and it felt forced that the two couples loved each other especially the second couple. To me they needed to revise and add stuff to the story while still being faithful to source. Great music, cinematography, acting and all that but the plot was too cluttered with unnecessary and uninteresting stuff. Also the electric romantic chemistry wasn't there. They felt like new friends that only began in getting close to each other. Gave it an eight due to the potential it had and because of the other good qualities it had. Maybe the trip to Austria costs too much lol.
