Has potential, in a way, I guess.

Aggravating FL does not do her actual job (you can't let people off with crimes as a police officer just because you know them?? that's called being a crooked cop, and ML is right to be put off by it at first) and constantly ignores ML's boundaries, plays oblivious to 2nd ML's feelings, sticks her nose in everywhere and we're somehow supposed to be charmed enough to watch more than a few episodes? The background characters have more charm. It started off strong as a set-up for a rom-com about a big shot city guy finding excitement and love in the countryside, which already loses some points for the strong cliché, but adding an unrequited love triangle, childhood friends to lovers trope, and a grating FL? I personally probably won't be able to watch it all the way through. I keep waiting for it to redeem itself but I really don't think it will.
