The Female Lead needs to work on her acting skills especially in her facial expression when she messed up something. Pulling off the Funny Scenes are not easy, as she is a new comer she have serious struggles in getting it right. She needs to work on that area.
She can do some homework by reading few finer nuances of acting and getting it right

Eyes are the window to someones soul. If you get the eye expressions right that will get you the job done. The eye makeup can be improved for the Female Lead so that it can help her a bit more in expressions. Rather than simply lining in the Lower and Upper crease, create a definition to the eye. It will get an attitude.
The drama needs speed in the screenplay. Ofcourse the story will move slowly but the viewers should not feel that the story is moving slow. The speed in the screenplay can compensate that.
Looking forward for the Improvements...
