Honestly, I really like An Insincere Idol’s Blank Slate. The whole idea of Eden getting a second chance with a mindset system is super interesting, and it actually makes you think about how hard it is to keep passion alive in the idol industry. It’s not just about becoming famous again—it’s about falling back in love with something you once cared about. The characters feel real, and you can really see the growth in both Eden and his group. 5/5

The Maknae Has to Be an Idol is a fast-paced mix of idol drama and supernatural tension. Taeyoon’s growth feels real, and the story moves without dragging. The art is clean, and while expressions can feel stiff, the chibi moments add charm. It’s an emotional, engaging read that stands out from typical idol stories. 4.5⁄5

This story really surprised me—it’s not your typical idol romance. The supernatural twist with Wooyeon’s eyes adds a creepy, mysterious vibe that keeps you hooked. Taeho feels like a real person just trying to do his job, which makes their dynamic more interesting. It’s not overly romantic or fluffy, but the tension and slow build make it way more engaging. Definitely stands out from other idol BLs. 4 / 5

I’m really enjoying this one. Mooyoung’s journey from a tough childhood to an acting prodigy is compelling, and the mysterious voice guiding him adds a unique twist. The art is stunning, and the pacing keeps me hooked. It’s a fresh take on the acting genre that stands out from the usual tropes. 4.5 / 5

Debut or Die is a standout in the idol genre. The main character, Moondae, is refreshingly pragmatic and clever, making his journey both engaging and believable. The pacing is spot-on, with each chapter building tension without feeling rushed. The art complements the story beautifully, capturing both the drama and the subtler moments. It’s a refreshing take on the idol world, offering depth and intrigue beyond the usual tropes. 5/5

Superstar From Age 0 is a charming, feel-good manhwa that mixes fantasy with the entertainment world. Lee Seo Jun’s journey to superstardom is heartwarming and engaging, with lovable characters that make up for the slower pacing. If you want a wholesome story with a twist, this one’s worth a read. 4/5

Once Again Idol starts with a strong premise—Hyunwoo gets a second chance at his idol dream after a plane crash sends him back to his 19-year-old self. The initial setup is intriguing, but the story quickly settles into a predictable rhythm. While the behind-the-scenes look at idol life adds some depth, the plot doesn’t offer many surprises. It’s a decent read if you’re into the idol genre, but it doesn’t break new ground. 3.5/5
