   The overall tone of the story is very depressing. I especially admire the female lead; she's constantly trying to save herself. She's so strong and resilient, with an extremely strong mental fortitude. The story has a lot of satisfying moments, but it's inexplicably depressing. The male and female leads suffer terribly [crying][crying]. I was so tormented that I couldn't continue reading. I'll finish it when I have time.

   The writing style is lighthearted, with a touch of silliness, but the male lead really goes crazy later on, and the female lead's words are incredibly satisfying [laughing]. The female lead is basically training the dog the whole time; it's quite good, but I kind of dislike the second male lead marrying someone else later. I hate the "balanced" writing style.
