I must be missing something

With all the glowing reviews for this show, I must be missing something. I am drawn to watching slower paced, slice of life, dramatic shows about deep relationships and character growth. You can see this through my other reviews. I prefer these types of shows over fast paced plot driven ones, and I don't mind a lack of romance.

So I'm confused as to why I dislike this show and cannot finish it. I enjoyed seeing the older gadgets, phones, clothing, and other props from the 80's (I am also a child of this this time), and on paper, the cast looks stellar. However, I found Lee Hye Ri's performance as Deok Sun to be quite cringey and uninteresting, and I simply didn't care about any of the other characters.

I may try again to watch it, but I'm just not sure why I can't get into it.
