Honestly, the tropes were offputting, but the story didn't follow the usual route.
Having said that, I still didn't like the story. It wasn't an aaannnngst fest or anything like that, but the characters were petty and shallow. The two main leads pretty much admitted to using each other. One, to manipulate the guy she liked, the other, as she described it, as an "impulse buy". I didn't feel the love or chemistry at all, and with the way the story ended, it didn't even feel like they were dating.
