Most importantly, it's completed! The male lead has twin siblings who rescue the female lead by the river. Since she's penniless and homeless, she stays at his house. The female lead is truly multi-talented; she studied fashion design in college, is excellent at sewing, and is also an amazing cook. In short, it's a slow and steady relationship.
