Review: I have a few mixed emotions about this manhwa. I honestly liked it. I liked how the story takes place with idols. I’m actually a KPOP stan, so this was cool to read and relate to with the knowledge I already have prior to reading this on how the industry works. There were times when I was so frustrated and feared that they would get caught. I feared this because I’m a slave to second-hand embarrassment. I did not, however, like how the Dojin kept on going even when Yuwon clearly expressed disinterest. Consent is not a joke, folks. I’m glad that the seme apologized, but it doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten just yet. I won’t drop this, and I’ll keep reading for the sake of it. Comment: You have to admit that the positions were kind of hot though. Haha. A scene I enjoyed reading was the part where they had the choreography part together. Chills. Side note: Caught up to chapter 37

Review: This was like an epic love story, one you’d see in play with the lead’s dramatically proclaiming their love for each other. Anyway, the idol industry is a lot like how it was shown here… Fans don’t want their idols in relationships. Pretty exaggerated, but that part was realistic. I liked the animals ears on them. Felt like we were going back to our roots lmao. Their love didn’t necessarily have a reason, but I’m glad they’re happy in the end? Sure, this manga explores gender inequality, but it wasn’t enough for me I think. Decent story, though.

Review: I have very mixed emotions. It’s a shame that the story was brought up like this when the art was done so well. It was a sure journey with misunderstanding piling over misunderstanding, one after the other. Hangyum is . . . I don’t really understand him. I wish we could have gotten more closure. I also wish that they had a serious conversation before jumping into you-know— Jaehee was a two-faced bastard. Sohyun deserved way better. I wonder what happened with the other couples. So many questions, but the ending didn’t really answer them. Truth be told, I’m dissatisfied. This BL was better than most, but still kind of bland.

Review: I really like how Yuan Mu told the truth about his reincarnation. His sister and him are so sweet. Huo Yi is very caring in his own way. I loved how the fans supported them in their coming out. I’m glad that Yuan Mu got the justice he deserved.

Side note: Left off on chapter 8

Side note: Let off on chapter 10.

Review: What the hell? Just as I got invested . . . The issues a fujoshi faces is shipping the impossible. You know that there is not a sliver of a chance of it being cannon, but you cling to hope anyways. Perhaps that’s one of the fun parts of being a fujo, fantasizing. The male lead was attractive, and Little Treasure was so cute! I loved the acting part of the manhua. I’ve been starting to become interested in more works that involve the premise of acting recently.

Review: Lots of loose ends. Like what happened to Fang Tang? Is there anything left to be discovered on Shen Mo’s past with his lover? What about the movie? How will Shen Mongo back into the entertainment industry? The ending kind of felt sudden and quick.
