All Wet

I didn't find this light and fluffy, on the whole. It started well and with promise, but it devolved into stupidity, misunderstandings, love triangles, despicable second leads, noble idiocy, and nonsense (employees take off whenever and no one complains or seems to notice if they're gone for several days). Too much angst for me. If the middle dozen or so episodes had been discarded, I would have enjoyed it more.

Look, it's not "love" if you don't trust the other person. It's infatuation or admiration. Love believes. It was tortuous to have the leads mistrust and misinterpret one another's actions. I like the actress, but the character of the FL drove me out of my mind with her naive, blank stares, inability to have a rational thought, and the stupidity to keep liars/saboteurs in her life and allow them to manipulate her. Naturally, the liars/saboteurs were unscathed, forgiven, and flourished.

I gave an extra half star because I love swimming competitions (I spent last evening at a meet cheering on a favorite swimmer who won both her events), and I liked the supporting characters (except those duplicitous, scheming second leads).
