I never pick up a drama where I think I wouldn’t like the OTP. So I don’t have an answer to this. However…I do have the experience of not liking an OTP together even though I thought I would….*planning on running away as soon as I finish typing*….Chief Hong & Dr Yoon from Hometown Cha Cha….*runs away*
While watching Doom, I had this thought: One of the worst thing you can do as a romance writer is to make your characters more interesting when they are NOT together.
I liked Dongmyeong and Myeolmang when they were not together (before they met and when they had amnesia). Together, they became so bland and flat (to me).
I also am not a fan of insta-love. Their romance had barely any build up which did not help either.
I was so excited for Doom but the romance just did not work for me either.

That happened to me too.
*Hides under a pillow*
Dong-kyeong and Myeol-mang from Doom at your service.
I really wanted to love them but I didn’t.

Is that pillow big enough for two to hide?

I share so many of your issues over Doom, it’s the disappointment of the year for me.
