Anyone viewing this as a fantasy is concerning
I have never seen a male lead so incredibly selfish and immature. It was not giving amnesia; it was giving lobotomy. Not only did Louis act like a literal baby, he cost the FL so much money and frustration. She was literally worse off for knowing him. It got so bad, I couldn't make it past episode 7. It seemed to become a question of who would she choose: the responsible (yet unprofessional) adult or the literal baby. The director was an HR nightmare, but anyone attracted to Louis creeps me out. He was a toddler in an adult body. Right down to throwing tantrums when he didn't get his way.
Louis barely did anything to try to help GBS. She was working so hard and had very little money to survive on her own and he never seemed to care about how much she suffered or sacrificed for him. He never thought to try to get a job on his own or at least not cost her so much money. It goes beyond not knowing the value of money; he literally knew nothing he "had" belonged to him; it was GBS's money. And he spent it anyway. He's selfish, has a shopping addiction, and seemed borderline illiterate.
GBS was also ridiculously naive. There were points where it made sense for her not to know better. The work drama, for example. But there were times she believed extremely obvious scams and, if Louis was 2, she was 8 at the most. Neither of them should've been left alone. Regardless of that, Louis still relied on her to cook for him and clean up after him and give him an allowance like she was his mommy. I can't fathom anyone finding any aspect of this romantic.
Usually, I think long and hard before dropping a drama. If I made it more than a couple of episodes in, I try to give it a chance. I found Louis' lack of growth by this point made the show unwatchable. Even if he got his memory back and paid GBS back for the thousands of dollars she spent on him while he remained completely useless, it still wouldn't make up for him being so utterly unlikable. She deserved better and its clear the writers of the show don't think so. My heart honestly hurts for any woman thinking anything about this "romance" was sweet. That poor girl was a victim.
