   My favorite is episode 11.14, "Redemption"!!! It's super sweet! Episodes 1, 2, 15, and 3 are also very sweet and pure; even an 80-year-old woman would be moved! Episode 6 is a sweet, mutual romance between the male and female leads. Episodes 1, 3, and 5 have low ratings. I highly recommend episode 3, and episodes 1, 8, and 11. Please recommend "Redemption" first.
