Ming qi, Shi yi, and Bai ming came from one orphanage. Ming qi was always too nice and taken advantage of. Shi yi was unapproachable, but softhearted. Bai ming was a bully, envious yet becomes an irreplaceable friend. The three may have been adopted separately, but they remain close and understanding of each other's burden. A friendship that exceeds blood relations. [Thought provoking. Heartwarming.]

Jang mi and Guk Hwa met at the most inconvenient and dramatic time. Guk Hwa's boyfriend for 4 years tried to cheat on her through Jang mi which caused their break up.

Chamin can hear the thoughts of other people except one kid, Mogyum. However, a tragic fire incident caused the child actor to forget him and retire from the acting scene. Nonetheless, the bored genius actor, Chamin, kept his prestige in hopes of Mogyum's comeback. Finally, when they became lead actors in a series, Chamin was keen on keeping Mogyum by his side. However, Mogyum's past is too complicated and dangerous which makes their relationship difficult to progress the way Chamin wants to. In the end, the incident involved Mogyum's idol, Doyoon and his stepbrother, Seungho. Not only do they endanger Chamin and Mogyum, they have a complicated relationship together. Aside from the two, a pesky photographer risks their reputation especially as an incident took away Chamin's ability. Personally, I dont need Seungho's story. More so when it was executed as if he had no crimes whatsoever.

the author used some questionable plot movers, most especially the arson turned coming out. im glad it was taken a lil more seriously after tho, like the consequences. Anyway, the plot is fairly paced, often quick with no transition but wholesome nonetheless. it deals with stalkers and how their actions affect celebrities (let's be honest, outside this story, it's difficult to criticize someone's suicide when they blame it to someone. like, suicide is serious, but at the same time, the person weaponized their death against someone else. and when that someone else is famous, it's more difficult to know the whole story because it will be totally used against them. the story is overall decent.
