Too much useless arguing

Ugh.

The hero: I didn't really like him. He is presented as this perfect being, but he's so arrogant and close-minded, and he certainly does not display a 400 year-old's maturity either. Mostly, there are so many things he handles SO. STUPIDLY! And he's horribly careless with the heroine's feelings, how many times does he break her heart?! "Selfish" indeed.

The heroine: very endearing, the best part of the drama for me. Except she gets along with pretty much no one in her life, so other than her cute scenes with the hero, we're treated to fight scene after fight scene, which isn't pleasant to watch at all IMO. And for the whole latter portion of the drama, even her scenes with the hero aren't enjoyable anymore, since she's so upset and spends so much time crying.

Also bad: the second lead's creepy obsession with the heroine, the frenemy's repetitive crap, the childhood friend whose scenes are even more tacked on than usual.

Lastly: don't think too much about the whole 13/15 year-old thing. Yuck.

Very uneven writing

The first 4 eps were incredibly boring, I wondered "how can one show have so many inane conversations"?! About shaking printing cartridges, etc. It was basically filler for the first 5 hours!
Even later, many scenes (the production meetings, the meetings in the big boss' office, Ken Doll and paper lady's storyline) remained very repetitive and very boring.
For all the talk about the team producing 2D1N, I was also disappointed that we barely saw any shooting.
Luckily, it wasn't all bad: any scene focusing on our main four was good, they were all very likable, and I was rooting for pretty much any combination of the four, so the watching experience was still good. I just had to fast-forward a lot around the good bits...
