i think this story more focus on how his progress with his career. that's why the romance not too deep and just give a deep hint who he gonna be with. Lets throwback that mc never in his entire life has a woman even a second chance. The struggle he feel until now was closed for woman but this second life he was closer with fl, no more closer. Not even a female actrees he close with unless with fl. He more known what is gonna happened if there a scandal because he also an actor from the first life that why he close relationship with someone else even palatonic but its exception for fl. she there with him if we see more out of scene they also share a contact number.
Was never a fan of the girl since she was reintroduced when she was studying for the HS entrance exam. Idk, something about chasing a guy to a his high school just made me cringe. Not averse to romance, she's just not my cup of character when it comes to love interests.
However, more than my dislike for the FL, the way they did this whole romance thing has me more disappointed. I never felt there was much build up into the relationship. Yeah, she showed up sometimes. And she helped when mc's mom was in the hospital, but it always felt like she was given more importance and influnece than she reallg had. Like in no point did it feel like she was that important or had that much of an impact to mc not until the past few chapters. And that felt off. Like at least sell me a good romance so I have no choice but to admit that they are for each other. Idk... It just wasn't done tastefully imo. But, everyone is free to think what they want about this. If you ship them, good for you. I'm just pointing out the reason for my disappointment and lack of enthusiasm for this ship or this romance subplot.
