That is my only complaint, when I went into this I was expecting the FL's trauma/SA (or attempted SA) to be more…
Her 'lack of interest' is a result of her trauma. She grew up being told that she didn’t deserve good things in life, so she learned to believe it, and she still thinks she doesn’t deserve love, which affects all her relationships. Avoidance and emotional distance are common coping mechanisms in this kind of situation. Since she experienced harm and neglect, she chooses to withdraw from relationships to protect herself from more suffering. All of this makes her more distant and uninterested in forming connections with people.
Besides, her sleepwalking is a symptom of this unresolved trauma and the stress she still goes through in her life because of her family (if these people can have the right to be called that–they don't).
I’m so confused about the characters’ ages in this drama! They say the intern is only 7 years younger than the female lead, but the actor looks much younger (which he is!). And the nurse guy seems exactly her age, yet he says she's much younger than him, and they look the same age! Plus, the two actors are only a year apart... Just to be clear, I’m not saying one actor looks old or the other looks young. They’re all great looking actors who look exactly their real age, and that's all. It’s just that the age gap being presented between two of the characters feels a lot bigger than it actually is, while the other age gap doesn’t seem believable because they look the same age.

Give her time to heal.
I couldn’t finish it, though. With each passing episode, I felt less and less interested in the plot and characters, so I ended up dropping it.
This is a really well-written and excellent review!
Just after reading it, I looked to see who wrote it and realized I’ve already liked and agreed with many of your reviews!
