    Well, this is me, and I've really let myself go in this writing; it's completely unrelated to the synopsis and title. But I promise it will definitely have only one female lead, and the writing style will be about the same.

    The female lead is intelligent and independent, a strong, assertive woman who never hinders the male lead and always provides him with support. It's a one-woman show with no harem [kissing emoji]. She has a lot of screen time, and she's just as capable as the male lead. A strong male and strong female lead—that's the ultimate formula!
