I found myself watching for the second couple
==Breakdown==
Background plot - 30% (more and more as the show progresses, but averages to 60%)
Romance - 60%
Misc comedy - 10%
Background plot - They dragged it out, but it was fine
Romantic chemistry - EXCELLENT from the ML, okay from the FL
Misc comedy - Fine
Production value and direction - Fine
Once the second couple's story resolved and they "left", I lost interest in the drama completely. I agree with others who said the actress wasn't a good fit for the FL. I like this actress in certain roles, but she lacks the ability to convey subtle emotions. She's either hot or cold, no in between, no sense of nuance, no ability to convey conflicted emotions. She was great in one drama I saw her in, because the character was very black and white, but this character definitely was not. She needed to show her slowly falling for the ML over time (and against her will). This was no conveyed AT ALL. It was just him falling and her not falling... and then suddenly she's in love. Blah. No yearning, no inner conflict for her character, very flat performance.
And since the FL couldn't convey subtle emotions or nuance, the main story circled around the same issue over and over with no progress until suddenly it was resolved. I hate that. I couldn't be bothered to continue since, at that point, there was no build up and no chemistry between the main leads.
The rest of the cast was great, but since the FL was so central to the story and I fast-forwarded all her scenes, there was no point in continuing.
Of note, that second couple was ON FIRE. Worth a watch to episode 29 just for them.
