    He's had a crush on the female lead for a long time, respects her deeply, and is incredibly talented. His pursuit is direct and doting, with a few minor misunderstandings (I absolutely loved this part; a little angst is just what I wanted). The female lead is exceptionally talented, coming from a scholarly family, while the male lead comes from a prominent and influential family with some connection between their elders, which is also where his crush begins.

    So far, the male lead hasn't confessed his feelings to the female lead in real life; it's more of a secret crush, and he's currently pursuing her. However, I suspect there are two other male supporting characters who also have a secret crush on the female lead, though it's not explicitly stated. The later modern-day episodes are quite sweet and romantic. It's worth buying.
