Regardless of how it ends, or doesn't end, this very promising and charming show was ruined in 10 seconds in episode 5. I'm talking about that insanely overused and tiresome trope of agent/manager stating: "Don't you understand what the paparazzi will do to this person (enter love interest's name here) if you continue this relationship?" Then causing the lead to do something completely out of character, simply to add heart-break to the story, where NONE was needed.
You needn't look further than "Doona" or "Record of Youth" (two Korean Dramas) to see how this ridiculously overused plot device ruins shows. It is like the writers have never been in love, and don't understand a flipping thing about how you weather the good AND THE BAD in a relationship. They think you're dumb, and pander to you with "this relationship will be too hard if we let it continue". So unrealistic, and so patronizing.
I would like nothing than to see every writer who uses this abomination of a plot device fired and never allowed to work again.
