    This female lead is the strongest I've ever seen; even ghosts would run away in her presence. She plays dumb in the early episodes, calling the police first if anything happens [facepalm]. Later, she drops the pretense and strikes with deadly force. The romance between the male and female leads is relatively limited, but it's truly a captivating story. It's not long, leaving you wanting more.
