mature, healthy relationship of main leads

the biggest thing in this drama for me? the main leads

the main couple is everything - BOTH ml and fl are charming and lovely. their maturity and kindness towards each other, and their level of communication with each other is really refreshing and nice to see.

ML is especially wonderful and so ideal-bf material - he is caring, respectful, and understanding,,, not just on a surface level but i feel he genuinely loves FL and respects her as a whole person and not just bc she's "his woman." he sees her faults and her struggles but is always by her side and supporting her; he celebrates her achievements with her and respects her decisions and actions. also, ML is a very responsible person who works hard for the things that are important to him - this includes his family and loved ones, himself and his interests/work, and FL and her family. tbh at first his hair threw me off,, but then suddenly i was head over heels for him and now i think he pulls this look off so, so well. his visuals - esp those eyes - are just a bonus to his warm and sweet personality. he's definitely an actor I'm keeping my eyes on!

FL is intelligent, thoughtful, and hard-working. i think she's someone who really works hard towards her achievements - she isn't this rare and hyped-up female character who is magically "smart and good at studying" but she is humble and puts in the effort and time. moreover, this dedication to success unfortunately didn't initially come from a place of goodness. nevertheless, FL doesn't let her struggles put her down and eventually she's able to use her academic achievements to help her find her interests and guide her to where she wants to be. with the support and understanding of ML, i saw FL become more confident in growing stronger and more independent throughout many aspects of her life: family and all of her personal/academic/work journeys.

i would've liked the drama to be more specific in regards to FL's career goals and personal interests but i think maybe that wasn't the bigger obstacle she had to overcome in this series. i like to think she had her own struggles that she was eventually able to overcome in the end, and that was the growth she was looking for and needed. props to the actress!! i look forward to her future projects

i could write more but i gotta go; one last thing: happy to say i overlooked the drama's flaws and less-pleasant side characters bc of the main leads! i admit that every rewatch comes with skipping scenes i don't care about, but i don't mind!
