The drama is interesting at first but begins to get repetive from episode 3 onwards. The ML keeps repeating how he doesn’t want to fall in love with the FL but keeps approaching her. His lines are so repetive that it becomes irritating to watch.

Both of 2nd FL and ML serve no real purpose except as sidekicks whom we already know will not end up with the FL and the ML.

The colleagues in the civil service office, and even the ML’s parents, play filler roles because are not close to either the FL or the ML, so the FL and ML exist in a vacuum.

This drama already has the usual kdrama setup and tropes, and they are excuted quite poorly, which is a shame because both leads are considered good actors.

The usual :
1. Both ML and FL have existing partners/love interests, gradually develop feelings for each other while denying them.

2. 2nd FL and ML, who do not end up with the ML and FL but try to be.

3.. Side stories involving people at the workplace, usually involving a comic relief, nasty boss, gossipy colleagues, or the FL’s BFF

4. Accidental kisses, falling over each other, etc

I hope the drama picks up from now on. I like Jo Bo-ah, but even then the constant repetitive lines when they are bickering are just too irritating.
