It was obvious that the writers hinted that he cheated on her, but that ended up differently. Their relationship didn't work, but they tried to paint the guy like a good guy in the end.

I hate love triangles, and I have to agree with you, both ex's don't get too much screentime. I have watched my fair share of annoying love triangles but this one is fine.

I feel you... not everybody likes characters like her, and only one of the main leads pushing for them to be together feels unfair, but I am on episode 11 and things start getting a lot better.

I don't think characters should receive any hate besides villains and those annoying obsessive jerks writers like to put in love triangles; but I wouldn't call them immature because a lot of people don't want to watch a show for "real" people, but for the fantasy and surreal world of almost a fairytale and there is nothing wrong with that...

Yeah ... she is just normal I guess, but cute in her own way

I'd say no more than 8.5, but 8.0 sounds fair for this one

Yeah .. I get the hate for the Female lead now... She is not the worst, but wow...

At this point is like the mother likes to bully her own daughter. If it is not going back to United States, she against every single thing her daughter does or says regardless, and she doesn't care for a moment for her mental health and/or happiness...

Now that I am finally watching I understand why everyone finds the mother annoying... She checks all the boxes for classic annoying mother in dramas... if she was rich she would be 100 times worse

Are you telling me that he confessed by the end of episode 7, but she gives him her answer on episode 11, and to complete the annoyance while the ex is around and actively going after her ..

Episode 8...

While I understand all the comments saying that she is oblivious and he does all the heavy lifting in the romance department, I can clearly see that she is interested in him, but like many people, she has her own problems so it makes sense that she is not thinking about dating or something 24/7... Him, on the other hand, is guilty of a common problem male leads have on Dramaland, and is being terrified of confessing and missing their chances for like 10 years, but then cannot confess because she dated somebody else, but then after their break up cannot confess because it is too late or something, and so on and on until once again a stupid love triangle pushes the male lead to take the leap...

On episode 7...

I ended up watching the Japanese version ..

This one?

It doesn't matter... A love triangle doesn't need the girl to like the other guy too. As long as two people are interested in the same person, it is a love triangle. The fact that she has to reject him "multiple" times, proof that it is annoying because it shows that the guy doesn't go away even when she tells him that she doesn't like him...

Good.

Yeah... I am on episode 5 now, and I strongly believe that if I decided to skip the mom and the whole thing with the ex fiance coming back, I won't be missing a thing because while they are supposed to be relevant, they are only there for angst and filler.

On another hand, Simp ML's seem to be a fan favorite in Dramaland.

This is all true, but I think writers want us to overlook the obvious and close our eyes every now and then to be swept away by the story, getting immersed and letting things happen.
