The male lead actor is actually very good. His micro expressions - small smiles, glances, and more, really dream me in, and are probably the reason why I lasted so long – all the way to episode five. But the story is spotty, and the plot has the male lead harass the female lead for so long, I’m giving up. I don’t know how many times she says no, but he never listens. And the part where he sneaks into our room and leaves handmade dolls all over it to supposedly help her sleep was just weird. I mean, cute for making handmade dolls, but like why would that help her sleep one, and two she is probably almost 30 years old. Why would she want dolls scattered throughout her room. Also super creepy to sneak into her bedroom in the first place.

In the end, I like the older woman, younger man dynamic, and the acting is good, but I can’t get over the ignoring of her very adamant, very straightforward and very clear nos that no one listens to. Further, they get angry that she isn’t falling for him. Just because he’s trying really hard, by no means makes her refusals any less valid. That’s the exact opposite of what should happen. That’s a turn off, a red flag. She says no, and no, and no again, and a green flag would listen to her and respect her wishes (though of course that means you’d have to find a new way of getting them together, you poor director). Also this expectation that she owes him something because he’s tried really hard is not rational. She by no means owes him anything just because he's put a lot of effort into wooing her. That’s essneyjonal a conversation like this, “Oh, I bled for you, so you should love me now.” “Ok, so me not liking your personality, my past trauma, and feeling like we have nothing in common doesn’t matter anymore just because you stabbed yourself with a needle, ok, cool.”
