I don't know if I have faith to keep watching . .

This is patriarchal romantic tropes at their worst. The main female lead is clumsy, incompetent, irrationally emotional to the point of endangering her home and her life, in poor mental health but not seeking any help for it, has a weird ex boyfriend stalker,. . . .just indignity after indignity and not one action or decision that you can take pride in.

Then!! In sweeps handsome, at the top of his career male lead, chiding her for handling everything so poorly and offering to help . . . and she in a fit of pettiness refuses and ends up in over her head *literally* anyway. You see . . . he was right all along. She doesn't know what she wants or needs- but he does. Everything she plans goes wrong, everything he plans goes right.

The only positive of this drama is unlike Love Next Door (which had some similar overlapping premises), Lee Jae Wong plays an adult male who is ready and able to be in a relationship. He is concerned, protective without being overbearing and does not act like a child with his first crush ( a problem with many dramas with similar premises).
