Don't be fooled by my many depictions of the female lead's smiles; she's actually quite cold. Very few people can truly get close to her, very few people she can trust. Her smiles are merely a social maneuver, not a reflection of her personality. There's an 11-year age gap between the male and female leads: a mature, stable, and charming CEO versus a cool, self-reliant female college student. The female lead lost both parents at a young age and was raised alone before remarrying. She's sensitive, considerate of her family, and matured early, learning to be resilient and strong. It's the male lead who spoils her, allowing her to regain the childlike innocence appropriate for her age. He soothes her grievances and solves her heartache; she only needs to do what she wants, and he'll smooth everything over for her. The pacing is slow; the male and female leads don't get together immediately. The aim is to create a multi-dimensional female lead, making the audience like her more than the male lead.
