When I first read the summary, it sounded like it would be a similar story to Top Management. However, this would be similar to the comparison of King of the Battlefield and Reincarnator, in which the two have similar origins in the plot, yet branch off as the story line progresses. Plot-wise, it is solid, with no blatant flaws. Whatever obstacles that the protagonist faces tends to be swept away, not through brute force, but rather logic and thorough preparation beforehand. A strong point, in my opinion, would be... more>> the character development and interactions as you can see that the characters themselves tend to be dynamic rather than flat and static ones that eventually make a good story turn stale and/or repetitive. Not to mention, exploration of the Korean entertainment industry is not that common at the moment, with only 2 other stories at the top of my head right now that fall under this genre. Suffice to say, this story has potential. Although the only negative would be that there is not enough chapters to my liking :P <<less

I love this novel. It's interesting and different from the usual battle genre. I always look forward to new chapters and how the story will develop, as well as rooting for certain characters to get through a situation, or laughing due to the antics that happen. The characters are all very life like and real, and the premise is very interesting. This is a must read.

It's a fun story, and is highly similar to related series. The biggest thing that prevents it from deserving five stars is that its MC, having fallen underneath a cookie cutter, lacks appeal. He's filled a checklist of MC characteristics: he's hardworking, uses knowledge of the future, has ridiculous amounts of luck, gains a special ability, and is especially protective of his sick sister. But who is he beyond that? The novel flounders with its perspective. After the first couple of chapters, readers don't know what the MC's thinking, and... more>> can only watch his motions as we're force-fed that he's a generic good guy. The other characters are shaping up to be more interesting than him.

Still, no less than four stars. Nearly everything else is good, and the pacing is phenomenal: the MC accomplishes more, in an unrushed, believable manner, than any other MC I can think of in a similar number of chapters. <<less

The story is good. Overall progression is nice. However, somewhere in the middle, the translator changed, and the translation quality went down the drain. It was almost to the point where it became unreadable. Really unfortunate.

Personally, the novel didn't come to me as something unique from the start. There's nothing to anchor my interest in the first few chapters too since they are somewhat predictable given the privelege he somewhat got through the interview that didn't really come off as something really shocking unlike top management or even superstars of tomorrow.

Moving on past the fifth chapter already left me without interest and confusion on the progress of things that are breezed over and vague so it's inevitable I had to drop it after the tenth... more>> chapter after figuring out it wasn't still able to rouse my interest. <<less

It was very interesting at first but got a bit boring towards the later chapters. However I feel like I'm watching a reality show for celebs so I still enjoy it.

One of the best books about celeb/media out there and the bestmusic industry novel. The romance is good too, and the MCs power is very unique. His sister Heyoon draws reader's empithy toward the MC too, making you feel like they arefamily drawing u n closer, The book is a bit funny too and side chars are awesome. But why is the updates on translation so frkn slowwww

This is an excellent read to pass time with. If you liked Top Management then you will enjoy this novel as well. The plot and characters are well written and as a reader, one can follow along easily. The novel does have a "back to the past to change for the better" cliche, but it does not ruin the story as a whole. The protagonist is not an all powerful individual that can create miracles whenever he wants, but must work hard to achieve the goals he desires. The plot... more>> consists of an individual that obtains a second chance to become a planner who will make singers and actors successful. He does retain the knowledge from before the time -slip but he doesn't gain any abilities. I would give the translations 5 stars and the translator and editors definitely deserve an award for their work. I highly recommend this novel. Hope you like it as much as I do. <<less

I really enjoyed reading this novel. Not just because of the MC being able to be so successful in using his ability to perfect and help the singers that he is responsible for. But for the overall good-guy image he has going on for him. All females seem to fall for him but he doesn't encourage those thoughts (or even think about pursuing from what we see so far.)

Not many complexities in this novel, it is recommended to those who want to read about a MC who pretty much... more>> has smooth sailing throughout the novel so far. <<less

I do love very much this novel because I find novel related to entertainment world very interessing like True Star, I'm Really a Superstar. But this one is really different because the MC is not hot-blooded like Zhang Ye or pushed by his entourage like Tang Feng, he is much more headstrong and hardworking. His will to overcome his past life drove him to be totally dedicated to his work and take a unique approach to handle his missions. So for those who will like to take a little break... more>> of wuxia and xianxia novel, I recommand it. <<less

A great novel! It uses the standard going back to the past setting, but despite that the MC is incredibly hard working. He shoulders the bulk of the work to set up pop stars for success. I think he has a great character and love how meticulous his plans are.
One of my new top favorite stories~ 5/5

Lets keep this short and sweet. Surprisingly its good, fun elements, some fluff that makes you enjoy the characters, and interesting take on how the kpop idol scene is.

However it's one of those series that needs more content to really hook people so I advise waiting.

After chapter 241, it looks like the translator got changed. I cant stand chapter 242 onwards. Looks like it became MTL after a quality translation.

since im reading it for a change of pace and mood, the novel is good. A bit of repetitive but at least there is story build up of his company which you can look forward to.

though I think im dropping this since the change of quality in translations make my head hurt.

The story was okay. The premise was promising but it wasn't executed well. As the translator had pointed out, out characters seems like an NPC for the MC it's as if the world truly just revolve around MC. Don't even get me started with the romance subplot. What was even that? It was too forced, no chemistry. There are also things that doesn't add up or makes sense. This has a potential. It was an okay read when you don't have anything to read atm.

A pretty average and amateurish novel, the author knows what's inside of the entertainment industry but not so much the same in the interaction with the people when that should be the selling point, it's pretty bland. The characteristics of the characters do not have much detail on it, it's only in one direction and no branches, especially the main character's sister which is one of his objectives, the author gives a little bit of background and context but that's it.

The story focuses more on applying his clear past experiences... more>> in the present and his ability to see the strength and weaknesses of the artists' skills through light. It's pretty dumb because he was successful right off the bat and that made the story bland, the conflicts in the story are pretty much solved by the next one or two chapters.

He pretty much has a lot of experience in the industry but the novel does not really show the reason why he's called a minus' hand because it does not need it anymore because of his powers.

RINSE AND REPEAT

This novel was not able to escape the cage by giving the main character a second chance at the age of thirty-years-old. The story was just continuing without much cause and effect, I feel like the author didn't put much thought into his writing, I still appreciate the effort though as it's an old novel.

This is a reread and I remembered why I dropped this novel. <<less

So far it's an amazing read. I love how even though it's cliche, MC's driving force makes me connect with him. I just hope no romance comes up. Will have to check spoiler forum for that. I just feel things will be ruined if any "active" romance comes in. For me, MC is too invested in his sister and career to have any other extra baggage.

Lots of plotholes. I had to force myself to finish it just so I know how it ends. The later half of the story is repetitive with business politics. It was already well established that Kangyoon is the best in the industry but he still getting lots of hindrances and betrayals from associates and investors when they should be trying their hardest to attach themselves to him. The romatic subplot was lukewarm and not that convincing on how he ended up with whom.. Overall, an OK read.

so, if you are yet to read Top Management and don't want to read similar premises then don't read this one, this is pretty good if you want some light reading.

Standard stuff, MC has an overpowered talent that while interesting in concept is not really used in an interesting way, basically he has the ability of "see" music in colored light so he uses this to scout for talent and to "adjust" the sound when an artist in his charge is not performing at his best.

The biggest complaint I have... more>> for this one is that there is no tension whatsoever, the premise is of a travel back in time and his regret of having failed, but this character that we see in chapter 1 basically disappears in favor of an MC that basically can't fail, that's my biggest complaint, if you compare Top Management to this one both have protagonist that never fail but while TM always has the feeling that failure is an imminent possibility GoM never gives the feeling that the MC can fail at all <<less

It's been a while since I read one of those rebirth/second chance novels, and God of Music definitely didn't disappoint. The MC is sufficiently calm, smart, and OP, though there's a lack of apparent romance. Honestly, I'm not sure if having more romance would be better for the story, but the harem tag is definitely pretty misleading. I'm a fan of his sis-con relationship with his sister, and she seems to be a genius helpful for his career, which is admirable. Sigh. Would like to keep reading, but I can't... more>> seem to find raws to translate through Bing translate. Ai. Looks like sticking to Chinese novels is the way to go. Should I get into IRAS then? <<less

I won't be rating this for now, because I still think its too early to judge this one, even so its something I would recommend for the kpop references which I appreciate and believe it makes this story somewhat worth reading. "Somewhat" - its the key word - besides that I cannot really say that the plot or even the characters are refreshing. The build-up is so-so; characters are very archetype - the main character don't add anything new to what i've read until now from other Korean novels with... more>> game-elements. It's entertaining but there's nothing that stands out and if you are looking for something with a "wow-factor" than this isn't your novel. If you love kpop like I do or you simply like this type of settings - Second-chances plus game elements and showbiz than you will like this one. <<less
