   Actually, calling it a romance isn't quite right. There's no male lead. And the female lead is very strong. It's also an ensemble piece, but not the kind where everyone's the center of attention. An ensemble piece is the best part! I'm the type who can't stand a one-woman show, but being the darling of the group is actually okay. And most importantly, none of the characters are stupid! Everyone has their own shining points, and it's not like the female lead is so overpowered that everything is on display. Plus, some parts were hilarious. There are also some plot twists. The unexpected is what makes it good, right? And there's also a sense of redemption.
