    This one... The male lead is just playing around. He's not the typical domineering CEO type from traditional romance novels (to be honest, he gives off a rough, masculine vibe). He's also inexperienced in love, but he shows willingness to give, be patient, and compromise in relationships. Also, his useless inner monologues made me want to criticize him in the early episodes, but I'll let him suffer later (he could have just shut up). So far, I'm looking forward to it; the character design is quite novel, haha. I like it. Although the male lead is a bit of a jerk in the beginning, the female lead isn't stupid and is always very clear-headed. Now that the male lead can't live without her, and the female lead is just playing around with him, haha, it's painful to see him suffer, but it's also changed my opinion of him a bit. This story uses descriptions of male leads found in other novels (like how he accomplished something great in a few years, summarizing his abilities in one sentence). This one details how the male lead gradually becomes stronger through practical experience... He's capable of great things even when working at the grassroots level. Although he initially set up the scheme with a playful attitude, he ended up getting himself into trouble, haha. I'll see him suffer later.
