Refreshing and Quality

There are so many good things about this drama, I appreciate the slow burn and the lack of emphasis on physical intimacy and typical relationship plotting and the lack of most drama tropes and plot devices. I also appreciated the attempts to take mental health seriously. I would say the biggest flaw in this show is the writing of the FL character. I will definitely rewatch at some point but unless I missed her background story I feel like she's an incomplete character because I still have no idea why she was with her fiancé, why she has no friends or support systems. I feel like if she had fulfillment and priorities outside of work then she would have never had time to develop an overly personal relationship with her student. Outside of work, her motivations made very little sense to me. Let me know if you agree on the FL or fill me in on what I'm missing because why was she dating someone she didn't like?
