List for novels that focused on men and women who pursued the art of acting in movies, TV shows or stage shows. 

A collection of Korean novels with male protagonist that I enjoyed reading, with absolutely no harem. 

This list will contain novels related to idols, actors, musicians, chefs, writers.(Reincarnation , Time travels)... more>>

They maybe BG or BL or no romance.

I'll keep adding more novels if I find any. <<less

Front row on reading list

My favorite Idols novels (No romance) (*^^*)

- From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show by SandKastle. 3/5. Chapter 157. On hold. Decent, entertaining read. June (MC) is kind of a pushover and I'm not convinced of his backstory. Bad pacing and progression of his idol skills, and I don't like how the villains pop up and suddenly hate June without reason. I'm tired of them and please just give June a break. However. The author absolutely succeeds at the performance scenes (5/5 in my head!!) - so beautifully emotional and vividly described, I can imagine them in my head so well. Probably the best performance scenes I've ever read.

- I became the Youngest Member of Top Idol. 3/5. Chapter 67. On hold. Average, ok read. Fine characters. I like the MC enough. The issue is that there's just nothing super special about it.

- The Second Life Idols Lucky Plan. 3.5/5. Chapter 98. On hold. Enjoyable, decent read with the typical idol survival show then debut portion. Regression and system after first life. I honestly like the characters and the conflicts they have, pretty realistic. The start was slow (in a good way) and funny in how Won Yoo-ha wanted to escape the survival show and be seen as normal. The main reason that it's on hold/dropped for now is because of Baek Yi-hyun. <<less
