I'm not a big fan of dragging out misunderstandings in romance although I understand it's a commonality but this show very quickly ran out of ideas on HOW to prolong the couples getting together.
The show has 2 main misunderstanding points that it uses too often to extend the run time, 1) random interrupting phone calls 2) seeing somebody getting in the car with someone, these are completely overused and just get annoying after the 3rd time
There are 3 main couples the show follows and one very randomly added couple near the last quarter of the show. All 3 have different levels of unhealthy problems that could be solved easily with the slightest bit of communication, and while I can excuse most of it because of their insecurities (I still say 30 year old intellectuals should know how to communicate) the 3rd couple truly exhibits worrying behaviour that is only ok because the show says it's cute and the guy isn't a threat but in reality this would be a much more worrisome scenario, (without going into spoilers) there is a significant age difference between the 3rd couple (which on its own is not a problem) but the show very clearly displays the power imbalance and inappropriateness of this couple, and they are given nothing in common or even any bonding time until the very end which just makes their relationship seem creepy.
The main couple is cute enough, although the female lead can be a bit infuriating in her decision making and complete lack of self awareness.
The second couple hugely suffered from having nothing to do during most of the show because their problems and resolution can be solved in just a few episodes so it ended up being dragged out poorly.
Overall all the actors are nice to look at and there are some very swoon worthy moments but I'm pretty sure I could've skipped 15 episodes and wouldn't have missed anything.
