Why het romances are stupid

Absolutely loved this show. I binged it in a couple days and tried to hold off on finishing because I didn't want it to end. I had seen gifs from the series and video of the behind the scenes on tumblr and heard it was pretty gay so I was all in. Very surprised and kinda disappointed to find that there was a het romance featured for Ga On. honestly feel that he and Soo Hyun had NO romantic chemistry and think it would have worked better if they just kept them as friends or have her be his sister. The emotional beats would have been the same ( if not heavier if she was his sister, blood or not, since one of the main themes of this show is family) and I woudn't have hated on her character so much. I still believe she was kinda dumb and like others have said, probably one of the dumbest detectives in any detective show I've seen. But yeah the romantic scenes (if you can call them that) were awkward af and i skipped through a bunch of it. That's why I can't give the show a 10/10 even though I would love to ( I would give it around a 9.9 out of 10 if I could but the rating system goes by halves). Honestly the show didn't need a romance and it only detracted from my enjoyment of it (although the chemistry between Ga On and Yo Han was fire and I can see why people said it was gay lol). Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend this intellectual series that deals with murder, mystery, corruption and a sprinkling of gay and great characters, music, cinematography and direction. This definitely is one of my favorite non BL series that I have had the pleasure to watch in recent years.
