    This definitely fits the 1980s ideal of not doing housework yourself if you can avoid it. Most stories I've seen so far focus on the female lead's career, but the family is large yet without any awful or brainless characters. The three children are all well-behaved and have their own unique traits. The male lead is a soldier, and the female lead knows how to enjoy life; they have everything – a washing machine, refrigerator, radio, etc. The content is pretty good, but the synopsis is a bit weak.
