    1. The female lead is very well-developed (beautiful, strong, independent, and intelligent). The book portrays love, family, friendship, and patriotism very well. Both the male and female leads are strong and capable, shining brightly in their respective fields. The fact that one member of the six-person team sacrificed their life was unexpected (I cried so much while reading it!), But it was better than predicted; they weren't completely wiped out. I really liked the character of the cafeteria worker. 2. Reborn as a 1970s educated youth sent to the countryside, she heals the sick, saves lives, and helps villagers get rich.
