   It's great! The writing is excellent and the plot is superb. The female lead's immaturity in the early stages can be a bit frustrating, but it fits her character perfectly. This makes her more relatable; we see a woman initially bound by societal constraints awaken and make contributions. This gives women who feel that improving the status quo is "none of my business" or "I can't do it" an option: focus on the present, even if your strength is limited, even if you're a "spoiled wife," you can still refrain from "kicking someone when they're down" or "standing by indifferently." ... There are some points I don't accept, such as only having two sons. I thought she would have a daughter (but insisting on only having one child can also be seen as loving yourself...?). ... And the female lead's early retirement for the male lead's career—I don't know how to evaluate this part, but it fits her character perfectly.
