   I just caught up with it today; it's not finished yet, but it's really good. Both the male and female leads have their own stories, and it's a pure arranged marriage that blossoms into love—not a premeditated scheme. It's the first time I've seen the female lead directly ask if she has a "white moonlight" (a term for a romantic ideal woman). It's truly delightful.
