Same actress, great fight scenes. Male lead is dominant and is always there to rescue the female lead. Both has the female leads with prior relationships that gone wrong before finally getting with the male lead.

There is a spunky heroine. The male lead is a cold ice prince who warms up to her though. It's a very lighthearted drama and doesn't deal much with politics for the most part. Rom com at its finest!
