    Superb! Both the male and female leads have their own personal spaces, and these two spaces are connected—a very touching premise. The people around them are exceptionally friendly: their fellow educated youth friends and classmates are heartwarming, and they get along well with their neighbors during their time in the countryside. The male and female leads are resolute and forthright, decisive and efficient in their actions. While there are some eccentric characters, they are extremely rare and can't really cause any real trouble. My favorite part is the section about their life as educated youth—it's lighthearted and funny. I highly recommend everyone check it out!
