This is a love story about the FL/ML, secondary characters are not romantically involved.
ML is in a fake relationship with the 2FL who refuses to break up, there's no evidence of intimacy. Think of it as a contract relationship with the 2FL/ML's father/Mayor being the architects.

Read the synopsis
"A lawyer bound by a centuries-old curse becomes entangled with a civil servant who holds the key to his freedom — igniting an unexpected romance."
EP1 We learn he was supposed to take care of the shrine but works 100 hours a week. He doesn't have a social life either.
EP3 At Condo 2FL knows nothing about him, his change of employment, his illness. He doesn't spend time or share anything with her. His wishes are being ignored.
ML/FL don't want to be interested in each other. (Timing) He wants to act brokenhearted, look sad but the love potion is making him become infatuated with FL and their destiny.
FL is having her one-sided crush with the 2ML and is pissed ML drunk it.
He just started his new job at City Hall, he's keeping up the facade, Mayor is her daughter, leaked they're dating/engaged.
Think of it as a fake relationship if you're struggling with the nuances. There's ZERO romantic interest on his part for the 2FL.
EP10 13 min mark (not his first break up) 2FL runs away when he tries to dump her. The parking lot event happened after the proposal. 2FL hostage taker negotiated a quiet break up after she finished her work on the first floor.
I explained why he broke that deal. (Transfer of FL)
He doesn't want to start a new relationship with the controversy, he wanted to wait,
Something is really bothering me.If the curse of the red hand and sickness and early death has been passed down…
Aeng Cho cursed her killer, his family.
Eu Wol explained to ML the FL (box owner) was the cure to his curse and pain. She instructed ML to stay away from the Shrine. We see the Clan show up, perform rites before having it demolished.
EP1 At the funeral service we hear people whispering about the curse. "Everyone except the younger brother's family has passed away."
Mu Jin killed Aeng Cho, not his father, cousins etc.
ML/FL are the reincarnations of MJ/AC.
In fantasy lore, it makes sense her killer to bear the brunt of the curse?
I'm halfway through ep 9, the dude still has a fiancee while kissing and holding hands with FL..it freaking bothers…
Did you skip episodes, watch this on 3x speed? ML repeatedly broke up with the 2FL
EP1 asks for time apart EP3 dumps her at his condo Father intervened and put them together again. At a proposal event you bring rings? Why is everyone gone, dark room, no rings are exchanged, worn.
This is an arranged pairing between the father of the ML/2FL/Mayor.
ML/Mother were not in the loop of the wedding date.
Try watching it slowly or ask someone to help you read those SUBS.
This is closer to a hostage situation with 2FL refusing to release him, forcing him to pretend they are together.
Parking lot, ML made a deal to pretend they were together until her works finishes at City Hall so she wouldn't be embarrassed.
2FL asks Mayor to transfer FL to regional office: ML intervenes and breaks the deal to hide their break up. (Beach scene)
Just starting ep 12, am I the only one who is pulling hair watching the female lead ? Pls recommend me a kdrama…
You're clearly not paying attention or understand the character of the FL in this drama.
She's an outcast and is being sent to do things alone because her co-workers are lazy and jealous.
Removing fish heads, visiting shrine, stepping in front of a protestor who sprayed a liquid substance. She's not weak or lazy. She's a hardworking civil servant.
She went to the aid of her Manager and was knocked down, while others including males stood by? Team leader arrives and flips assailant.
Why are some women laying blame on the female being attacked by a drunk, City Hall complainant, stalker, murderer Gardener?
Rewatching the series has been a whole different experience. I can't let go of these characters yet. 🥹
You're picking up on all the verbal/non verbal cues of their love story from the beginning and see how their present lives were repeating their love story in the past?
The director, writer served it on a platter if we were paying attention.
He liked her first. She pushes him away to protect him.
okok im on episode 6 and the only thing im not liking atm is the fact that he wont break up with nayeon 😭 even…
Rewatch EP1-EP5 there's enough cues to see it's not authentic.
We see verbal or non verbal cues, this contrived/arrangement.
He wanted a break to focus on his illness, withheld it, changed jobs, moved. We see zero evidence of them together in photos, holding hands they exist.
2FL relentlessly pursued ML for 2 years. They don't spend time together, she doesn't know anything about him. No toiletries, passcode at his condo EP3. 2FL complains ML doesn't communicate. 2FL dumped again.
ML is angry with FL because he develops feelings for her when he wanted to lay low play 💔 and acted sad over his break up. ("Acting broken hearted", no feelings for 2FL)
Trap sprung: Watch the proposal party, everyone is gone, somber music, dim lights. ML is trapped again. 2FL/ML father are the architects behind this pairing that is closer to a hostage situation. ML and his mother are against it but their opinions are ignored.
2FL is the daughter of the Mayor, got assigned to work on the first floor of the building the ML just started. She's using her power to keep her hostage. News spread they are dating.
Every attempt at a clean break is thwarted by secondary characters including their own denial of their attraction towards each other.
Rewatch EP1 at the Shrine, at the Law Firm, elevator, office, rites at the Shrine
ML outside City Hall before the Love Potion.
Both are taking long gazes, listen to the music, the director is panning the camera at their eyes, hands for non-verbal cues.
As expected when you're attracted to someone time moves slowly and you find your body reacting before your mind can process what's happening.
She is raising her hand asking for help, she open the BOX by wishing "someone" comes and helps.
Eu Wol tells ML FL can lift curse, end pain. She tells him the woman he's thinking about it the owner.
He's trying to act heartbroken over dumping 2FL but recognizes he's attracted to FL. Both we're unprepared.
The writer, director weave a non-linear story (fantasy) of this couple from Joseon ear and meet again in present day.
In the past and present, secondary characters are obstacles to overcome including their own self-doubt.
2ML plays a similar role as a foil only to realise too late he had feelings.
FL has a one-sided crush on 2ML that's resolved in a similar fashion because ML/FL developed feelings for each other.

They are obstacles to over come and add some angst, comedy to the story telling.
"A lawyer bound by a centuries-old curse becomes entangled with a civil servant who holds the key to his freedom — igniting an unexpected romance."
Initially both leads are not prepared for each other and they have complications to resolve.
Pay attention to their chemistry, body language and you will see writer, director dropped hints of their fated destiny.
The pursuit by the ML is cringe worthy and hilarious.
Likely the story was too complicated for you to follow along.
"Being forced to watch" indicates a lack of self control on your part as well.
It's okay to drop dramas you don't like or can't follow.
MDL ratings are irrelevant.
This is one of the better dramas for 2023

These two should be able to help with several films.
