    A business marriage, a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. The female lead is a glamorous superstar, aloof in public but a warm and radiant presence to those she knows. She occasionally acts coquettishly towards the male lead, a movie star and CEO. He's initially unaware of his love for her, but later experiences a dramatic chase after her, transforming from a cold and aloof CEO into a clingy puppy. The male and female leads are evenly matched, and their close friendship is very endearing. Highly recommended.
