Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse 'drawback' with 'setback'. A 'drawback' is a negative feature that exists from the start and is part of something. A 'setback' is a problem that happens later and slows progress. For example: 'The drawback of this job is the low pay' (correct) vs. 'We had a setback when the machine broke' (not 'drawback'). Also, 'drawback' is almost always singular when talking about one negative feature and is usually used with 'a' or 'the' (e.g., 'a drawback', 'the main drawback').
