Well, I liked Mal/Inara, but it wasn't an investment for me like it is for most. As far as pairings go, Zoe/Wash was what interested me the most.
With Veronica, I was able to tell myself that she needed closure on that part of her life. The problem with her, though, is that, unlike when she dated Logan, she very literally regressed in some ways to the silly girl she was before Lilly's death. I think TPTB wanted Duncan to be Veronica's Great Love, which just...was not a good idea. Except for at the beginning when we thought he might be quietly nuts, he wasn't even interestingly unlikable.
That was one of my problemns with Goong. They portrayed her as sounky and standing up for herself, but in actuality, she mostly passively accepted whatever was tossed at her and only put up a token protest. I never really liked Shin OR Yul, and my feelings for Chae-Gyung were basically like those for Shin's mother: sympathy for being in a situation that crushed her, but no real liking.
