Well, you've said it yourself. The problem is with the composition of the show, namely the story.
And the story is supposed to be an exploration of the theme, mineralogy, in it's most exciting form - hunting for rare precious gems.
But the authors were unable to make it interesting enough for people to focus on it.
And characters suffer from this as well, as they were designed to complement the story.
An ignorant, but eager and lovable student for viewers (who are also mostly ignorant about the subject) to associate with.
And a knowledgeable and cool teacher who will show us that the subject is actually a lot more interesting than it seems.
None of this really works, and all we are left with is sexo.
