I escape reality everyday's feed

Is writing fluffy love story between 2 people without a 3rd person lame nowadays? Why can't the story just be set in highschool and they resolve all of Jiho's problems while they were teenagers. Must the author do a complete turn and throw this messy angsty storyline to us I love that it has depth and realism but man I went in here expecting a silly highschool romance with a touch of angst not melodrama bomb that will make me stressed every 2 chapters
Don't get me wrong it is still good but it just wasn't I expected.
