    The first book, "Family Matters," has one really awful character, but everything else is excellent. The characters are well-developed from beginning to end, depicting the ordinary lives of ordinary people. It features an exceptionally intelligent male lead paired with an ordinary female lead, and everyone underestimates the male lead's love. The female lead's growth story has both sadness and touching moments; those who like it will like it, while those who don't will be put off by the eccentric mother. I'm currently reading the second book, and so far it's quite good.
