Sweet and bitter, exactly as its name

This one won't be one of my favorite Japanese dramas, but still I think it deserves watching.
I think the acting is overally good, but what is the bitter part here is the story.
I know that in 10 episodes of around 24 minutes you can't portrait much but still it mostly failed for me.
The overall idea is the biggest cliché you could imagine - handsome, rich and confident man falling in love with poor, naive girl who thinks she's good for nothing. But I think even from this setting they could make more of a story. I think the biggest problems I had was that usually there was something hinted and I was looking forward to further explore the (usually dark) topic, but it was skipped and we did not know anything about it further. Also the complications that started at the beginning of the episode were usually solved right in the end of the episode and in the simplest (and usually very cringy) way possible. I can see almost no character development throughout the show. And what I really didn't like was the ML's often really too violent behaviour and FL's constant embarrasment about everything.
Despite of what I just wrote the drama still has some really good and sweet moments and I appreciate some of the "steamy" scenes out there which I haven't seen in any other j-drama yet.
If you don't want to watch anything complicated (because the story is quite straightforward), you should give this a chance, but prepare for some bitter taste to the overall sweetness of this drama.
