to be completely honest, the male lead has no right being the male lead, besides the fact that the second lead is carrying the whole show, he actually matches the personality of the female lead, they make sense, this could have been so good if they went with that plot, cuz god damn the male lead is annoying
it's a cdrama, and it has 31 episodes, it's very very slow burned
see it like this, the actual episode is about 35 to 40 minutes, meaning that 2 episodes is the same as 1 in kdramas, so tecnically you're just at 3 and a half yet, and you actually stopped in the episode they actually start talking, that's how i see it at least
