   A sweet romance novel about a man pursuing his wife, the humor comes entirely from the male lead's mouth. He indiscriminately attacks everyone except the female lead, though she wasn't spared in the early episodes either. It's hilarious; he's the kind of guy who could poison himself with a single lick of his lips. The only angst is when the male lead's aunt dies of cancer—that awful "milk dipped in sugar" guy, who then delivers a cruel twist at the very end, leaving a lasting impression. Oh well, may "milk dipped in sugar" bring you long life. —From *A Little Tomato on the Edge of the Clouds*
