I didn’t hate this show but I had some beef with it. For one, the male lead was more than a simp. He was a baseboard with a good personality. It was sweet that he put up with her constantly putting work before him, but it was also upsetting to watch her forget about him for weeks at a time. He still got so excited to see her each time. She sometimes would not reply to his messages for several days after reading them.
When he did get to see her, he was constantly asking for sex or to make out! She was clearly shy about it, but he always said things along the lines of, “This is my reward for waiting for you. Don’t I get my reward?”
It made me uncomfortable. In my opinion, he needed to stop pressuring her so much. If she indicated she wasn’t comfortable, he would still push forward.
