Additionally, even though it topped ratings in its time slot, it was overtaken by its competitor in the important 20 - 49 year old demographic, as well as streaming, popularity, and brand reputation charts for consecutive weeks. With the extensive promotion and hype the series received before premiere, its figures were underwhelming. Performances of the cast were praised, though audiences also stated their dissatisfaction with the story and the production as a whole. William Schwartz of HanCinema stated that the series is `` irredeemably stupid '', adding that ``... the obstacles the characters run into are never clearly defined. It 's one of the reasons why the resolutions in this drama are so unsatisfying. There 's no tension.
