   The female lead's future is so bright it's keeping me up at night. She has impeccable family background and everyone in her family has a job. The only problem is that the plot keeps bringing up her marriage. She's already stated many times that she doesn't plan to get married or have children (the original female lead was born prematurely and has a heart condition; having a child would be a gamble). The plot is mentioned every chapter or two, which is a bit annoying, but otherwise it's fine.
