    This is the first time I've followed a Republican-era spy novel daily, with a female lead who has a system and is patriotic! (The character settings may not be perfect, and are very, very unrealistic.) There is a male lead, but he's a bit detached from reality and lacks common sense. You can only watch it if you're completely brainless. It's the kind of novel where you don't need to use your brain at all; the romance is slow-paced and very exciting. (I've read 1000 hours of Tomato Reading.)
