Is it true that the female lead spends a lot of time with the second male lead?

Okay ... this could be interesting

Let me guess... they get together super late only to break up because of something stupid and get together in the last episode for a 5 minutes happy ending... I get the feeling that that is what happened here...

I prefer for the second couple in any drama to absorb all the angst, love triangles, misunderstandings, toxicity, family drama and more instead of the main couple...

This drama needs several changes... I liked this male lead in other dramas, but he feels out of place in this one. Besides the many other things that must be changed, this needs an actual plot and/or villain, better writing, better script, better development and so much more...

It is the sad reality... We don't judge the female lead for having a past, but it is unfair and unbalanced. We watch romance for the romance between the main leads, but instead we get a poor male lead that has been waiting since forever and when his time arrives he has to beg like she is doing him a favor. This happens in this kind of plot, but many others as well where the girl is a regular girl, but the male lead and the annoying second male lead and many more just fall in love with her and are willing to sacrifice their souls for her, while her male lead being a perfect bachelor has to compete even after getting the girl because the other guys feel like they have the right to intrude and even more the girl keeps them close for some stupid reason...

Surprise... surprise... it seems like I was right when I was commenting about this one before it was aired... another one where the guy has been a simp for the girl for 10 years or so, and the girl just abandoned everyone one day and even fell in love and went out with other guys, but she comes back because something went wrong not because of love... more love triangles and several episodes for the female lead to "realize" or "recognize" that "she has been in love with him all this time", which will make no sense since I don't think she was loving him when she abandoned him or was getting "things done" with other men... but hey! let's hope there is character development at least, lol.

I feel like she will end up with the old man... I don't think 'd like that...

Ouch...!

Some series can be frustrating, but one way or the other become rewarding with a better outcome thanks to Karma and/or character development and preferably much more screentime with good times than bad times. What is the case here?

Writers love their tropes... I hate love triangles, but some writers are able to introduce these elements in a way that contributes to the plot, character development and even pushes the leads together... but investing too much time and add unnecessary screen time to other people other than the main leads is often a waste of time...

Would you say that this show might be working if I decide to skip some parts?

Yeah... They behave like if communication doesn't exist. People make calls and visit. There are plenty of healthy long distance relationships, but writers don't seem to respect our intellect.

Instead, they could have used that time to develop the main romance and the plot.

It seems like this is yet another drama where the main leads are only together for like 5% of the show (Needed exaggeration)...

I hate love triangles and break ups... it is so hard to find a good drama with no break up and little to no love triangle where the main leads don't get together super late in the show...

When do the main leads get together..?

I genuinely don't understand why writers do this... What is the point of investing so much screentime on someone that is not going to be end game, and what is worst, doing so steals time that could have been used to develop the main couple properly.

I agree!

Is this another K-Drama where the main leads spend more episodes separated than actually together? I love happy endings, but I don't know if I can take another last five minutes happy ending for a while...
