Very Well-Done Character-Driven Plot - But Disappointing ML

I must say, this series surprised me immensely. I started watching this drama because I needed a breath of fresh air between episodes in my other series. However, I soon began watching this drama 'full-time,' and for a good reason too. Where do I begin? The first episode introduces us to a female lead (Young Won) who quickly establishes herself as a well-written character. She's driven, energetic, and sweet - but also has her doubts, which fleshes her out pretty nicely for the viewer. The drama also introduces us to the rest of the cast, who have their quirks and backstories. Then, we meet the ML (Ja Sung), and boy, is he something.

Ja Sung starts with all the boxes in the 'make-a-prick' list checked. He's inconsiderate, rude, manipulative, and a millionaire landlord on top of it too. This drama does take the route of 'FL does all the emotional labor,' so beware. The writers try to make him grow as a person and brush his miserly personality off with a below-average childhood (who could have seen that coming.) Sorry, but in my eyes, Ja Sung's circumstances do not justify him being such a nasty person to those around him.

The supporting characters make this story. They're entertaining and drive several b-plots, which are almost better stories in their own right. Although rational thinking would have prevented some of these situations, everything goes well together, but this is a romantic comedy, so something should happen. Most of them are also absolute dinguses initially, but we see them grow as people through the episodes. This character growth works for the supporting characters, not Ja Sung, because they're way more relatable. You will never convince me to have any sympathy for a man who is that rich. I will not apologize for this.

And then there's the ending, which seems to have split the reviewers. Without spoiling anything, I think it was very mature. We got to see where everyone ended up, for better or for worse. In my honest opinion, everyone got an ending that they deserved.
