Love Stage!!
Aspiring manga artist x actor Since A reluctantly starred as a girl in an ad ten years have passed, now that they want to shoot a part 2 for the anniversary and his former co-child-actor B (a now really popular and accomplished actor) insists on the same cast A gets coaxed by his older (singer) brother with his favorite (obsessive) manga character merch to take on the part again; B's been in love with A since that ad shoot back then and uses this chance to confess, when he gets told that A's actually a boy he breaks down only to figure out that this doesn't actually change anything about his feelings No idea how A can't see how awful his art is (I'd love to have some of that confidence) WTH did the stalker/kidnapper/attempted rapist (or at least allowing rape) not get ANY repercussions?! Is it just because she's a girl doing it out of "infatuation"?! Rushed/no real ending (feels incomplete) 8/10

Love on My Terms
Actors (one with mind reading ability) - right into having kind of forced (manipulation!) sex since B meets A again after a long time whose mind he could never read (seems like the driving force behind B's "attraction"; not sure what A actually fell for with B...) - the rushed second "villain plot" after the first one was already done felt unnecessary and forced (disconnected) NO DAMN CONSEQUENCES FOR THREE ATTEMPTED MURDERS!!! (instead a stupid "happy-end" with the other completely toxic trash (while dropping the mentally and emotionally healthy fool that somehow fell in love with him and treated him awesome) -> if they had just stayed together and away from others from the beginning there wouldn't have even been any trauma to anyone else) 7/10
Fallen Star
Two couples Star (with adopted daughter) x book shop owner Best friend of B x actor (friend of A; with orphaned relative) Really healthy relationship with the two adopted children Meh art style + bad translations (+ some stupid plotlines) 7/10
