    The female lead is incredibly beautiful, delicate and cute, yet also intelligent and brave. The male lead is strong, hardworking, and very reassuring. The romance develops exceptionally well from the start. There aren't many gentle, passive-aggressive characters who fall for the female lead; once the male lead makes a decision, he acts decisively. They are a perfect match.
