Immature spoiled rich 16 year old being bratty during a war

I have never in my life encountered a more immature 16 year old. By the way they wrote the script, she doesn't sound or think like a teen, she sounds like a kindergartner.

Exhibit 1: she bribes kids to steal military cement because she's so QuIRkY and wanted attention from a guy who she has a crush on. Remember, this girl is 16 and essentially bullies a military officer because she's like "well, if I show him how annoying I can be, maybe he will notice me." What are you? 5? Ewww and he is like an officer so like 20's or 30's. That's nasty y'all.
Exhibit 2: she jumps into the military car just to find her brother, demanding Gu dude to find her brother. Sweetie, there's a war going on. Literally millions of people are dying and missing and you force the military to look for YOUR brother who just wants to join the war and support the military??? Lmao ok why dont they go looking for every single missing person then, see how efficient that would be for war efforts.

Also, the entire family is a bunch of spoiled brats???
The brother consistently asks this nurse out over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Like dude, did you ever learn the meaning of harassment or bounderies? Oh right, you didn't because your family is too rich to deal with that shit. How spoiled do you have to be to want to pressure a poor girl that just lost her entire family in a war to marry you just for your personal pleasure? URG and can we even talk about how every single family member guilt tripped the girl for not wanting to go out with Xiaoman? Tell me again about how this family isn't just toxic as shit.

And then there's the grandmother. She doesn't ever want to leave Chansha even though she KNOWS that they plan on burning it down literally putting the entire family in danger. How selfish do you have to be? How petty and immature are you that you hold a grudge for 40 years and put your entire family at risk for the sake of being petty?

And can we also talk about how XiangXiang repeatedly rejected Gu dude from the start and used him like half the drama and then when he even just talks to another girl (even though it's literally his sister), her whole family throws shit at him for being "awful". Like damn y'all, this family is sooo toxic, can i just spend one day without the elders assuming shit.

Update: just finished it. The drama did a good job at portraying the events that happened even though they didn't show a lot of gore. After about episode 23, all character become somewhat decent and bearable. After that, the story improves a lot as they die one by one. So all in all, decent overall story with incredibly frustrating characters for the first half. They get better as they "mature" and do what seems like a complete 180 in terms of character. I do feel bad for that chick that ended up with Xiaoman tho coz she was essentially always second and the only reason Xiaoman settled was because his first choice died. Lmao women deserve better but still, thank god for that, I was worried he would harass her forever. It's kinda sad when you think about women's rights back then. Their only job was to breed and that's all they cared about even in a war when food was scarce and realistically the child would have died.
