Story: step-brother trope, simple and easy to fall into. Honestly, I disliked the use of the female best friend who creates waves. It was obvious from the beginning that this was her entire role in the series which was irritating. Very little character development, but a lot of slow budding romance. A bit of both worlds (one is irritating to see and the other is what I really want to see).

Acting/Cast: While I like the cast, I didn't like the acting. I felt like it was slightly sub-par. Perhaps it had something to do with the lines and the story itself instead of the actors. The two male actors felt closed off to me for some scenes and that was probably the biggest aspect that bothered me.
