The female lead was SO ANNOYING in Season 1. I could find NOTHING to like about her. Even so, I felt sorry for her. Her boyfriend (the very handsome male lead) was an absolute jerk to her. The supporting characters and their relationships were the only reason I continued to watch. I am glad that I did. The end of Season 1 was quite sweet.
Season 2 did a better job developing the characters of both the female and male leads....although I still found her naivete ANNOYING at times. I found myself rooting for every single character in Season 2. I felt that the friendships / relationships were quite genuine. I was pleased with this season. I'm happy that I stuck with it.
