Hoping this isn't the real deal

Warning: Spoilers
I am on ep 5 and struggling.

The ML's is from a rich family dominated by a horrendous grandmother who, for some reason, does not want him to inherit the family business. The ML doesn't want it anyway - he doesn't want to get married and wants to live his own life. His only support is his mother who is deeply unhappy living in the same house as the horrible granny - her husband doesn't seem to be of any support to her and when the ML defies granny (who has informed him that he will be married to a woman of her choice within a month) it creates a crisis during which the ML's mom demands a divorce.

Meanwhile - the FL has been cheated on and dumped by her boyfriend who is in love with the woman that granny wants the ML to marry.

She is pregnant by him and doesn't know what to do.

She has many coincidental contacts with the ML. She is the breadwinner for the family - despite there being three other perfectly fit adults that could contribute.

I find the comedic moments very childish and unfunny and they sit oddly against a story of abortion. The plot drags on interminably with pointless conversations and incidents.

It makes me wonder if all rich Asian families are so horrible - treating their children like commodities who aren't entitled to a life of their own.

I sincerely hope not.

The FL overacts on occasion and doesn't seem to have a very expressive face. The ML is ok - he just isn't given much to work with. The FL's mother and the would be brides mother are equally hateful and annoying - but the queen of hatred is the granny.

If you like slow uneventful dramas then I guess you might tolerate this one. I couldn't.
