One of my biggest disappointments, I should have not gone into it with expectations

I think I may be in the minority here, but I think this drama is super overrated. I started watching it with a lot of expectations, but other than a couple of episodes, the rest i was pretty disappointed about.
The first 10 eps was a struggle to push through: I found their relationship at the beginning very awkward and I was just embarrassed for her for most of it.
After they got together it was OK, but I really did not feel that much of a chemistry between the two.
The couple of break ups and getting back together was just annoying. like girl, he is in his 40s...if you explain the situation he can make his own decision.
And then the finale, I was expecting it. What I was not expecting was that i did not even shed a tear, I just did not care. I don't know if I wasn't vibing with the actress or something, I just didn't care.
Also, the mother romance storyline...I couldn't care less. Wasted time that could have been spent on the leads relationship.

There were two scenes I liked that I will mention:
-The wedding was shot beautifully, I loved how the scene looked.
-The scene were the 2ML finds her crying in the street and they have a convo and cry together. That was the only scene where I almost teared up. Honestly, the only emotions I got out of this drama was pity and sadness for the 2ML.
