   It's really good, the rating is so accurate. It's a period drama about everyday family life. At first, you might not want to read it, but trust me, keep reading. The only problem is the relationship between the female lead and her older brother. I felt the slaps in the face weren't satisfying enough, especially the older brother's side story.
