    So good! I watched the short drama "The Rising Sun Sees Me" first, and I fell in love with it completely. But the short drama is nowhere near as captivating as the novel. The female lead meets the male lead because of layoffs. He appreciates her and gets her an interview at another company. The female lead initially feels inferior because of her non-prestigious university background, but gradually grows through her own efforts. The two eventually fall in love during their project. The male lead isn't good at expressing love due to his family background, but he truly is. He's a man of action; although he doesn't express it verbally, his actions demonstrate what love is. He rushes to the female lead's side immediately upon learning of the earthquake, and he steadfastly chooses her no matter what. It's so sweet! [Shy][shy][shy][shy][shy]
