Oh god! I enjoy reading the novel so so much 😭. It's such a heart-warming love, slow but sweet, while the novel's focus is more inclined to to the MC's acting career. I love this novel so much. Maybe I prefer slow-paced romance, so it's very enjoyable. I have planned to write my own comment but some previous ones have already listed out the pros and cons, including reasonings. Therefore, I just wanna say that READ THE NOVEL, U WON'T REGRET IT

I completed the novel but I didn't really get into the feeling of like being inside the novel like other novels made me feel whenever I read them. Nonetheless, it's a worth to read novel and good choice to pass a time.

This story is soft and angsty, and just what I was in the mood for.

There are a lot perfect face-slaps and obstacles to MC’s journey. The way he overcomes them was realistic, clever, and satisfying. Romance is sweet and short. For me, the focus of this story was MC’s journey to honing himself and his acting instead of romance. There are also detailed narrations of each movie/TV Show MC takes on so there’s little stories inside this story. The last story, “Bo Ying” made me tear up, ngl — the... more>> plot twist of the movie f*cking tore my beating heart out of my chest.

Prose is good and not at all boring or tedious.

I recommend this one for people looking for a light-hearted read with good counterattacks. <<less

A lovely, relatively low-key rebirth story. I love how the main character doesn't need to exact horrible revenge on anyone. He just treats people based on what he's learned of their character from his previous life and tries to make sure the people he cares about has a better life. We learn that the MC didn't fully understand his old lover in his past life, but I love how that isn't any excuse to give him a second chance (one almost - death was enough, no matter what the reason).

The... more>> author uses his past and current life to contrast a toxic relationship with a supportive one and it's wonderful. When you're in a supportive relationship, no need to care about previously intoxicating people who were bad to you.

I also love how even rebirth didn't give the MC an invincible golden finger. He still runs into trouble and occasionally feels helpless and needs help. This makes the story feel more realistic to me. <<less

You go read this. I recommend! There's nothing much to say aside from, nice plot. Theres actually characteristics, it doesn't feel like most novel where the main couple.. what to say.. probably bland. ... more>>
Spoiler

even though the MC is his first love

[collapse]
My problem is that there's plenty of potholes. The side character was mentioned less and less.. but nonetheless the ending is still good. It's full of sweetness❤️❤️❤️ still story also involves of alot of awareness for environment, stray cat and same s*x marriage as well as on society, cultures and old tradition shows that our mindsets should broaden and start to focus and understand the problems that was cause to ignore because of time and prejudice by old people, So Its helpful to start developing our understanding to "other part of the city" as the world continue to evolve. <<less

I am a fan! The story is well written. And I enjoyed the different plots of the movies (I cried a bit after boyang arc). I like the romance between MC and ML. And there’s just enough plot spice for me. Enjoyable and recommend!

I was skeptical at first, I won’t lie. The translation alone was sometimes hard to get through simply because it seemed unedited and there were many places I needed to mentally correct.

However, this novel was so soft. I enjoyed how gentle a love this was. The ML wasn’t obsessive and possessive much like the MCs initial choice in lovers, but rather he was a calming safe haven that allowed him to flourish with a gentle push for encouragement.

I also loved our gay bestie Queque, I may be in love with... more>> her. Anyway, I was just happy he was able to save her.

The one thing that I wish they’d gone into detail about, is how Ji Chen ended up. What his thoughts and reaction to the MC and ML comeback was and if he ever just gave up.

I’d have also wish as an extra maybe, that the MC told ML about his past life. It would have been interesting to see.

overall, I loved this and recommend it. 4.5/5 on the high end. <<less

This is not a bad novel but reading so many reborn entertainment novel, this falls shorts.

This is not revenge story and I am fine with it.. The MC just decide to turn his life around from his previous bad decision form his last life. He wants nothing to do with all his ex which he believe is the reason why his previous life is ruins. The reborn MC is definitely the better version of him as him from his previous life is easily influence by others.

It's true he got golden... more>> finger thus he know which drama, movie, director or actors that will make it big thus he took advantage of that for his career and become successful in the industry. He saved the friend he's unable to save and avoid the bad things from his previous life.

This is more of a story how the MC turns his life around after he got his second chances. The interaction between ML and MC is a little lacking in my opinion. It's is focus more on the MC side and not so much on the ML story. The MC pretty much do all the decision making on his own and only seek ML when he's running out of options.

The rating is purely based on my opinions after reading quite a number of similar novel. Like I said, it's not a bad novel but I personally thinks it's a little lacking but I still finished the novel. <<less

[This is an edit to my rating. Idk how to change it but I'd give it a 4 star] The addition of "The Liar" kind of sniped it in the start. The game was hard to understand, even with the comments trying to explain. Thankfully it got better.

Asids from that, there's also the MC and ML. I love them and could go on but for now I'll list some irks I have.

1. It might be that the chapters aren't that long which makes the romance feel almost flimsy. Don't get... more>> me wrong, their interactions are very adorable and almost a "high school love" sort of affection but they really don't interact too much.

2. We don't get much on the ML's side. Very sad. There is one chapter where we see an explanation of why and how he fell in love with MC but nothing more than that. And again, I really hate the reality TV show arc.

3. Side characters. I feel like the more important characters are the MC's manager, ML, and MC. If you really want to, you can consider the MC's ex gf as an important character too. Other than that, no notable characters which makes me sad. I can't help but compare this novel to other entertainment novels such as Very Happy, Superstar Aspirations, and I Have Amnesia. Compared to those, rhis novel feels second rate. It has the potential but wasn't given the time it needed to shine.

That's it for the complaints. Here are some things I loved:

1. The romance between the MC and ML. When these moments really happen, it's insanely cute. The ML is respectable and very gentleman like as he gives the MC the space he needs. The MC isn't blindly rushing into the relationship despite his slight crush on the ML in their past life.

2. The films. Searching for the Heavens, Rejuvination, and Cat and An Xuan. Though nothing revolutionary, both films have a decent plot that could garner thousands of fans. I'm particularly inclined to Cat and An Xuan because of the message it sends to viewers. And Rejuvination is a very sweet plot with no jealousy or relationship deteriorating fights.

3. Relationships. Again, MC and ML, very cute. MC and his ex gf are like brother and sister. They ended their relationship cleanĺy and remain in a good relationship. MC and his manager's relationship is okay. Nothing too bad considering the situation the MC regressed to.

All in all, It's not the best, not the worst, just decent. <<less

It's alright, it's a good novel! The plot paces alongside the business aspect of the story, so the entertainment stuff is very consistent. The romance is a bit refreshing, mostly in the pre-relationship part where they both have feelings for each other, but hasn't ended up together/decided to date officially. Otherwise it's relatively normal, very standard ent biz theme, reborn novel.

It delivers what it says it does! The reason I gave it a 3 is because the protag reached the top of the top right off the bat (after rebirth),... more>> thus you don't really experience the climb, or feel very attached towards him. While it's nice, this also means the world building and cast members are very small. Recyclable characters, because you're now a big fish in a small pond. There's not much room for maneuver here, but I think the novel did a good job of exploring the idea of 'now that we're at the top, we have to keep floating and balancing this delicate game of psychological warfare -- to stay up here' -- It's a trade off, not sure if it's good or bad in the end, but it's definitely adventurous, they really commit to it, so I respect it. I don't think I've seen these types of thing elaborated on in other novels, maybe a few instances, but not a whole novel focusing on this theme. So it's pretty interesting, but I can't say it's blowing my mind out of the park. It's good, satisfying. Nothing to really nit pick on other than it's just very 'standard', not outstanding. But that in itself is pretty good!! <<less

The story feels very light. Rather than facing challenges in his life, Yuhe faces more career challenges from what I can see. In here, MC is an actor. Although there weren't that much challenge because of his golden finger, I think the portrayal of the industry is better than most webnovels. MC also has struggles when receiving the same role.

It would be better if there are more depth to his character. Where the focus is on him as a person who happened to be an actor.

But overall, it's alright. I'm... more>> waiting for more chapters. <<less

good read... it’s not the most spectacular entertainment bl out there, considering that the entertainment aspect is almost the same as the numerous entertainment novels in circulation, but what made this refreshing for me is the fact that the MC did not focus on getting his revenge and making sure that those who did him wrong in the past suffer the same fate after he was reborn. the MC just did his best to live a better life and did not let the grievances of the past dictate the... more>> course of his rebirth... I think the story’s illustration of karma and a bit of the butterfly effect was good... overall the story was good, not too heavy, nor too fluffy... if you’re looking for an easy to digest entertainment bl that isn’t so heavy-handed on the face slapping and still leaves some room for the villains to redeem themselves, then you can consider reading this <<less

My heart broke into pieces with the last arc/movie that was filmed. This story was wonderful.

The beginning was a little slow for me, but once the ML was introduced and the relationship between then started developing, I was completely hooked.

Re-read this, and after having read many more entertainment stories, I have to say that this really is one of the best in the genre! MC isn't ridiculously OP and he doesn't act with the ML in every role he's in. I know the standards are a bit low here, but... more>> hear me out. MC has trauma from his past life and he runs into actual challenges that he works hard to overcome. He's truly dedicated to acting, and he doesn't rely on his pretty face, because he's lived so many years without that being an option for him. I really do love the MC, he's really just out here trying his best to live well and do what he loves.

ML truly is one of the greenest flags out there, he's respectful of MC and doesn't pressure him at all. Rather than your typical cold and distant ML, he's friendly and a social butterfly, and you can really see how hard he works. He's a solid person that MC can rely on, and he provides just the right amount of support, without being overbearing. I love how he would check in on MC's boundaries and never once crossed them. He's so sweet and the way he's always thinking how cute MC is!! He's literally the heart eyes emoji around MC haha

Also not really a spoiler because it's revealed quite early on, but on MC's feelings about ML,
Spoiler

MC used to have feelings for ML even in his past life, and the way that he was hesitant to act on his feelings because of his past trauma was well written! It was an added bonus to the second chance plot that he also got to have his second chance with his unfulfilled love of his first life :')

[collapse]

Spoiler

Also it was cute that MC is apparently ML's first love from childhood, but my brain was running so many mental gymnastics trying to figure out their ages because they're 4 or 5 years apart in age and there's really no way to make that work as a childhood crush right??? Like a 14 year old can't have a crush on a 9 year old right??? I just have to suspend disbelief.

[collapse]

The relationship between ML and MC really was my favorite part about this story, as the two of them were just film nerds together who love acting and each other. Truly some soulmate type shit!!

Also shoutout to the author for writing female characters that I actually liked. Especially the lesbian bestie, can I date her please?? Where's my transmigration story into being her terrible ex and managing to redeem myself from the original villainess plot lol <<less

This... it feels like forever since I felt like I genuinely liked a novel (honestly, must have only been a few weeks, but you feel me?)

While reading this, I have cried and smiled, genuinely felt sad, moved, worried and angry along with the characters. This is probably because the plot and characters were more realistic than what I am used to from the last few novels I have read.

The main leads were so likeable and so were also a lot of the side characters. There were few characters that... more>> did not show how multi-dimensional they were and if they were one-dimensional, then it was due to them being minor characters and lacking of screen time. Most characters also had distinct personalities that made them memorable and more relatable/realistic.

One such character is Yang Yu, the MC's agent. At first, I was not sure whether he was a good guy due to his distant and managerial way of interacting with Zhou Yuhe (MC), but he soon grew on me as it was clear that he only acted out his role as agent based on his experience as an idol agent which may not always be the best choice as an agent of an actor. But he and Yuhe are both adapting to each other and their relationship also grows to form trust between them.

The ML as often is basically perfect. Xie Yifeng is op as an actor based on years and years of experience so it's not like his skills are unfounded. He is supportive and smart in his own way with high EQ as he knows when to push and when to give space.

Zhou Yuhe (mc) is also pretty op as an actor, but not unrealistically so as he also runs into hurdles and troubles. Aside from his superb acting, other traits of his are a high IQ and EQ which he displays in various ways. But again, he is no genius as he is also easily tricked at times. Basically, he is a well-rounded character.

My personal highlight, however, were the various drama and movie plots that Yuhe acted in. The descriptions of the scenes and plots made it easy to immerse oneself in them. The plots were also pretty thought-out which distinguishes this novel from other showbiz novels I have read.

Spoiler

I felt my inner fangirl squeal like a dying pig when Yuhe manhandled Ji Chen and domineeringly said "Here, I am your faith." f*cking handsome. 666

The cat movie and gay movie plots made my heart ache and my eyes become a freaking mountain spring.

[collapse]

I can already tell that I will come back to reread this novel someday just for the movie plots and Zhou Yuhe's handsome acting. <<less

this novel is very good.

plotline: although MC and ML seems op. very few face slapping... what I enjoyed the most were the stories on every tv series/movie that they act on. the plots can stand alone on itself. I love the last movie the most. if there will be a movie for it in real life I'd definitely watch it.

romance: its like boiling a frog. slow but lovely which is understandable since MC has been through a lot. thats why its ok for me that after rebirth his life is... more>> smooth sailing. come on he deserves it after what he'd gone through. ML is like a breath of fresh air after climbing the top of a mountain, a warm cup of cocoa in a winter night that gives you joy and warmth and a sense of fullness.. ML is not the domineering president type but the decent ideal husband type.

overall: it deserves the five star rating <<less

I've read almost all transmigration, rebirth or reincarnation bl novels (exclude QT since I don't like it). I don't know why but I remember reading the first chapter and dropping it. And now, after a long time, I decided to pick it up again. I don't have much hope for bl novels and my standards is quite low. But this sure passed my standards. Go read it if you have free time. Its a good novel nonetheless even if it quite generic and doesn't have any striking points.

This is really good and cute. We all know how the trope goes but here it's pretty well written. It leaves you a light, warm and fluffy feeling while at the same time keeping you engaged with just enough drama. Sure, some things are a bit exaggerated but all in all it can be overlooked.

  • The protagonist, although somewhat OP, still experiences growth, while the acting depiction itself it's pretty interesting.
  • The relationship with the ML is sweet but still engaging enough (and although it may seem like he fell in love at random or a bit too early to some, it's really not like that). Most importantly for me, although the ML does help the MC and looks after him, it's still in the acceptable levels and the MC

    doesn't depend completely on him

    like in many similar stories I've read. On the contrary, the MC also helps and looks after the ML (although there is

    a bit of an imbalance at the beginning, due to obvious reasons). This is really how I'd like all pairings to be. Or to become, at least.

  • Moreover, although the MC changes his destiny and frees himself from the presence of some poisonous people, face slapping is not really the focus of this story and mostly even happens due to circumstances, in the end.
In short, this... more>> is really a mainly cute and engaging story about taking your life in your hands, appreciating life and people and striving towards what you like. <<less
