Another season, another "romcom" where the author doesn't know how to develop likeable characters and present a wholesome story.

I'm going to give this the obligatory 3 episodes but you're right, the pacing is off, artwork stiff, characters are one-dimensional, motivations and plot... nonsensical, romance is contrived.

Thankfully we're less than a day from the second season of My Dress-up Darling and can get a more wholesome romcom to consume.
