It was an entertaining read. The plot was interesting but there the MC never really had any major problems to resolve and there’s no real character development. He gets this strange new power and then it’s a straight shot from there to the end.

There are plot holes (like all the misunderstandings that are a cop out for an explanation for what’s going on) and the Hollywood arc gets a side eye from me because of how it basically rips off blockbusters from real life (so it starts to feel like... more>> a self inserted fan fic). The review makes it sound like I should have given it a lower rating but the pacing/writing/translation made me want to read until the end to see what happened.

If you want to read about an OP character in the entertainment industry, this story will give you that. Nothing outstanding but nothing terrible. <<less

I've been accompanied by woojin everyday these past weeks, now that its end I kinda feel empty lol.

The translate is good, the story is good but the ending is completely dissapointing to me.

Like a few review before me, the beginning of the novel is good. The flow and phase of the earlier chapter is telling us how he delve into acting. But when he entering hollywood which happened nearing the end of the story, its start to downgrade.

I mean the author can delve deeper into how he develop his character... more>> he is playing or
Spoiler

his emotional development of relationship with his girlfriend

[collapse]
rather than inserting public comment kind of line which is too excessive. It even took 50% of some chapter, which for me its useless, you can just describe it rather than inserting the comment section.

And I think the author might have watch joker before they write the later part of the novel because its way too focus on it and drag on. So the other project that he took at the same time with joker didnt get much of lime light and the end felt abrupt.

Conclusion:

- The translation is good

- The novel is good but the ending is dissapointing

- Too much comment section

- Lack of human development, at least write how he opened up about his true self to his gf, so she wont stay misunderstand and see his concept as his real self.

- Lack description of how he grown as an actor i.e. How he analyze the script and come up with adlibs after 2 months.

This one got manhwa adaptation, I read this novel because I got hooked by the manhwa <<less

I liked the concept of this novel. It had a lot of potential. But the execution is extremely bad. We basically don't get to see anything, no acting and no experienceing the script. All we see is the MC getting praised for his godly acting and him pretending to be uninterested / rude. That's basically all.

It is like wanting to watch the finals of a sports event. And you are really hyped for it. But all you get to see is the final score, while the people around tell you... more>> how amazing the game was. <<less

The misunderstanding side has a very huge loop hole. They can easily investigate the guy if they wanted to, they can even ask his friends, his past employers, his platoon mates since military conscription is mandatory, they can dig around on his school and uni to see if he ever went out of the country and lived there.

The story is enjoyable tho, it just kinda sucks when they introduce another misunderstanding that could easily be resolved and it just become a big hole staring you at the face.

Interesting premise with shoddy execution & excessive reaction scenes to MC's every move.

This novel can be quite funny, you just need to ignore the massive plot holes (his origins which can be easily investigated if the side characters have a real functioning brain).

I really like the filming/acting scenes but good lord it can get real tedious quickly with the excessive simping over MC's 'monstrous' & never been seen before acting skills. It's like those sports animes with the reactions/commentary on the characters' every action in their games. The perspective... more>> is all over the place as the author just shoves every character's reaction/thoughts as much as they can.

Example:

MC: *acting*

Director: 'He can do that without being fazed by the crowd? Amazing, this monster (MC) is just amazing!

Actress: 'He improved, he got even better!'

Cameraman: 'His presence is overwhelming, I can't believe he's just a rookie actor!'

Manager: 'He can act like this by only just reading the script for 5 minutes! What a monster!'

And many many more characters and their dogs : 'Blah blah blah, *just doling out praises*

This kind of scenario happens a lot in the novel. There's also no tension and set backs for the MC at all in this novel. The system just gives him everything he needs. Heck, it even improved his singing abilities. The MC even said at one time (when a supposed problem occurs) that everything would always go right in the end.

This novel can be a fun read, if you can handle the excessive simping over the MC and the plot holes. <<less

Compared to other misunderstanding novels, this one falls so flat because of the lack of character development and fun interactions that ensue with a comedic premise.

The first thing I have to talk about Woojin is of course, his power as an actor. It's a cheat. He's a Mary Sue. He has no stumbling blocks. It's very similar to a OP JP isekai where they get the most broken ability with zero drawback, and they needed no effort to achieve their OP abilities. Similarly, Woojin can basically just press a button,... more>> absorb all the talent and requirement he needs, and come back as a strong actor in any field. Really, this applies to anything Woojin does, whether it be singing or even learning other languages.

Then, the only thing that can carry the novel, if not the work that he puts in as an actor -- which is zero -- has to be the misunderstanding comedy and character interaction. Unfortunately, while there is definitely a setup for Woojin since he tries to maintain a stony, serious persona, there isn't any sort of engagement. Woojin barely messes up his act, and the monologue he does is similarly, very repetitive and dry. There are no exciting situations that happen with the misunderstanding, and the people he interact with have similarly dry repetitive misunderstandings regarding Woojin. If the novel went all out with this aspect, it could have carried it.

The problem is also just the lack of relevant characters. While there are a decent number of producers, directors, and fellow actors that he interacts with, there aren't any sort of actual characters that get developed. You find it hard to see any character with any semblance of personality, even with his close colleagues, like his manager Choi or even his potential love interests. There's no focus on these side characters, and that's unfortunate, as that would have been the breakthrough point the novel needed to keep readers engaged. There are rarely any POV shifts, and there's a lack of exploration to each actor's struggles in terms of learning the role, how they interact outside of acting, and basically, they just don't feel like real characters.

Then there's the actual acting projects. I love showbiz shows, and one of the reasons for that is the engagement between the actors in the story with the actual projects. There's logistics, storyboarding, directing, politics, funding, goals, relationships, and so much more to be explored in a high-profile show to be released. Unfortunately, this is also unexplored. While there are some parts to Woojin acting out his character and some background, rarely will there be a deeper dive into the actual story, which would have made readers more immersed in the description of acting out a character. There isn't any sort of roadblocks that Woojin goes through obviously, and there's also no semblance of other actors actually struggling with their roles and how they deal with it. There's no mention of the actors outside of the scenes, how they deal with roadblocks, etc. Overall, you can tell that the story pays no real attention to the acting projects themselves. Which would have been fine of the other aspects, like the comedic misunderstandings were more fleshed out, but alas, they aren't.

Finally, I have to talk about Woojin himself. He really reminds me of those psychopath Xianxia MCs. He hates being disrespected, but he disrespects people constantly with his standoffish persona he tries to portray and doesn't mind it one bit. He largely goes off of first-impressions but no no no, he will feel bad if others do the same thing to him with this cold and arrogant persona. While he doesn't pick fights, he definitely doesn't do anyone favors. He takes advantage of other people, but rarely does he ever think of helping other people out. I had to drop the novel when he, with his OP powers, is able to pinpoint a fellow actor lowering the value of his acting project and basically outcasts them from the show. How is that any different than a typical arrogant young master MC trying to get rid of a poor cultivator for dressing shabbily or something? Rather than trying to help the other actor out, he intentionally uses his connections with the producer to get rid of the casting role.

Relating to the last point, and VERY minor spoiler, somehow I'm supposed to side with paparazzi bombarding celebrities with scandals and never leaving them alone? It starts off with s*xual scandals-- of course this is very justifiable reporting and I didn't feel much at all. The person in question was clearly villainized. Then comes the very mundane scandals, and somehow I'm supposed to side with the paparazzi? What the hell? It's amazing how the novel twists the narrative. Each celebrity has to be perfect I guess. As if Woojin is a Gary Stu who has no flaws so no scandal will ever emerge from him. Oh wait, he doesn't! <<less

Hilarious set up. Author knows the cook dishes that readers wanted the dine in.

The MC is relatable, unstoppable and insanely lovable.

The MC is blessed with the blessing of true God.

Luck is at his side.

b*tches are temporary, God is eternal.

The series has a good moral lesson for introverts like me. Love it.

Highly recommended.

It's getting boring & annoying as the story goes. Lots of loopholes. The characters and the publics get awed at every little thing MC did. MC gets lucky every single time with little hard work. It irks me so much. Ah don't get me started with the female characters who simp the MC. At first, I thought this would be like TCF with so many misunderstandings. But it turns out to be another self insert overpowered novel. Let me see myself out. This novel is tr*sh.

TLDR: The story is a good time-killer or if you just want an MC that gets badass moments that people wouldn’t dare dream of. // However, there is no character development nor depth in any of the characters. They are all puppets to compare to MC to make him stand out, I have yet to see consequences for the MC (doubt from others that lead to intense drama, friend-breakups, psychological damage etc). The writer’s hand is very obvious in this one (how everyone coincidentally views MC in a positive light (other than the cannon foddlers)

I wanted to see guilt or shame or anything from MC. Since he (supposedly) knows how gruelling the art industry is, I was expecting him to either be extremely guilty or greedy. Like a goose that lays golden eggs, one would either hide it like a family heirloom or guilt over it on how they trample on their competitors’ hard work. Yet, the focus is only on the misunderstandings. A compliant is that they are overwhelmingly positive. There were also two missed opportunities that could’ve been the consequence. One was
Spoiler

his long time actor friend found out that he acted very good, imagine if your best friend was secretly something you strived to be yet they not only hide it but also didn’t help you strive for it. Regardless of MC circumstances, if I was that friend, I would’ve at least had a sliver of hate or jealousy.

This is my first time write Review... !!

I really like this novel~

This is the real full of misunderstanding, I really laugh hard when read it and MC is so powerfull with the system.

... more>>
Spoiler

MC earned English and Japan language, oh! and also sign language too! MC can even earn cooking skill, singing, and martial arts

[collapse]

I really recommend this novel if you like smooth progress for MC and full misunderstanding.

#Edited

The MC growth so fast, really fast so if you like slow-pace maybe this is too fast. But for me, this is satisfying.

I really like the contradiction of MC and that was funny to see that he has contrast reaction with his outside looks.

So far, this novel is not complicated, so I think you will be disappointed if you want to see how people investigating MC's background, because the plot not focusing how to revealing MC's background, but for the misunderstandings. (Idk if there's will be something more further)

I really enjoy this~ This novel became my daily routine now.

So far there's no romance, even there's some female characters attracted to MC and tried to get close, but no more. MC focus to develop his acting, So it's okay to read it if you guys don't really like the romance things. <<less

There's no lv up or practicing Arc.

This novel just slap "OP" to the MC.

Am I here to complain? No The writer only provide us the fun part in the novel and it really suitable for me who try to avoid gloomy stuff right now.

Besides, all the project that the MC act in are quite interesting I take this as a bonus.

The story is top-tier. The misunderstandings just happens without the MC not trying to do anything. So far, the are not b*tchy female character. This novel has got to get manhwa/manhua adaption. I wish I found this story when it had 110 chapters, the suspension at the end of every chapters makes you want to point a gun at a translator and say "KEEP GOING, YOU AIN'T DONE". I wish I wrote the review a long time ago but at that time. The suspension was the same but I was... more>> still reading "I FELL INTO THE GAME WITH INSTANT KILL". <<less

I enjoyed the story much up to 250 chapters or so, and dropped it after reading some spoilers.

First thing first, I spent countless sleepless nights reading this novel since it's f**king interesting. I love misunderstandings and acting as the main theme of the novel. I also love the author's writing, it's not lengthy or wordy, and it's long enough to captivate me to continue reading the next chapter. However, I don't particularly appreciate how the story turned out in the last 200 chapters (chap300-500), typically because:

Spoiler
    • Romance: I know why the author wants to add romance, and I appreciate that there is romance. But, the love interest is the problem. Miley Cara is the problem. SHE IS F**KING HEARTLESS! Maybe you have already read some spoilers above, but then again, when Woojin made up his mind and muttered the courage to reveal his true self, she brushed it off as nonsense, and when he revealed it to the public in his speech, she said that's acting (she even say that his smile resembles Joker!!!). No girlfriend acts like that, I swear. So the MC aka Woojin spent a long time putting up his persona to the public (except for his family and friends). (I particularly like Hwalin, but the author says no : ( (()
    • I don't like how MC's real personality just gets to be illustrated less and less, focusing more on his persona...
    • And, even I do not like the romance so much. Even so, I understand and have said above that I appreciate it (like it makes MC's life full, not lacking any elements: reputation, richness, love), but this romance just has to ruin his sense of self and desire to be understood and express himself. The author makes him a person who has things that people don't but lack the most basic right out there as a person. (in my opinion)
[collapse]

Anyways, I till give this 4 stars since it's nice up to chapter 300

Dropped at c319. Not because it's bad.

Spoiler

I spoiled myself by accidentally looking at later chapters and saw that there's romance. I'm not saying it's bad or out of place, but I'm only interested with his op acting life lol.

Since I'm kinda satisfied with the current progress of the story, dropping it midway doesn't change my rating.

Readable but a waste of a concept.

When I read the summary I assumed that the novel would be about the main character struggling through various scenarios with the end result being incredible acting after his experiences (or even terrible acting if he hadn't done well in more difficult scenarios).

What the novel is actually about is a main character who faces no adversity whatsoever. One who easily experiences any simulation, of any experience, with no negative side effects. The novel follows the main character as he acts and everyone else in... more>> the novel goes "wow" (x 100). Because there is no actual improvement in his abilities there is no real feeling of growth or challenge and all of the acting parts end up feeling the same.

The author could have just given him perfect acting ability and it would have had a similar result.

tldr; It's ultimately more of a slice of life drama with a "Mary Sue" main character than anything else.

Despite all of it's problems this is a very, very easy read. Even though I don't really like it and everything that's happening is predictable I still read it. My advice is to not start it or you might not stop. <<less

Let me tell you, I CANT GET ENOUGH!!! Even though it updates everyday it's still not enough! Every chapter is filled with excitement that left you feeling empty because after you finished reading the chapter you will be met with cliffhangers 😭

And the expectation of MC's fruits of effort showing and the other character's reaction after makes it even more unbearable.

Only really good during the first 200 chapters, and story starts to drag beyond that; 400+ my brain is already melting, ending is ass lol.

What's most interesting for me in this story is that you can see that the author is capable of making good stories as seen during earlier movies/projects Woojin is taking. Eerie Sacrifice of a Stranger was fantastic and Drug Dealer and Island of the Lost were also pretty good; Exorcist and Male Friend were interesting but in later projects, the author started losing steam and half-assing... more>> it.

I can't blame tho lol, there's only so much writing you can do for a 400+ chapter novel. Story should've been shorter and it would've been a GOATed novel.

Another thing I didn't like is the MC is too OP, it was fine during the first 100+ chapters but as you reach the 200+ mark, story started dragging cause it's just the same thing happening over and over again but with different packaging. Nothing is opposing MC and the story got boring.

Also, final girl is ass lol, really out of the girl's, the author chose
Spoiler

Miley Cyrus lmaooo, like don't get me wrong I love her irl but her novel counterpart is the least interesting among the girls (to be fair, the Hollywood characters are all boring). I think Hwalin is best girl, she was adorable and as a fellow fangirl I relate to her lol

[collapse]

Anyway the misunderstanding bit was funny and I was genuinely amused by that lol, probably one of the best stories out here that used the misunderstanding trope properly.

3/5 for me overall, could've been 4.5/5 if the story was shorter and didn't include all the unnecessary parts. <<less

TLDR edit: Story's plot is very very simple power fantasy of a sort that you can guess like 90-95% of how the story progresses after just reading the 1st arc. But its executed pretty well in my opinion so if you wanna just read a nice and simple power fantasy this will be right up your alley

Read up to Ch61 that was translated properly (btw, translation quality was satisfactory and didn't disappoint in any way), and then just had to MTL afterwards because I was too impatient. To be... more>> completely honest, the story is very f*cking formulaic and just from the first arc you can see how the rest of the novel reads. To the point its almost like those 3 chinese webnovels that are essentially copies of one another that essentially just amount to the protag becoming famous in a specific industry for an arc and then getting fired to which he has to find work in another industry for another arc and so on. Do not fear though, thats basically the only similarity this novel has to those.

So, sure, its formulaic, but the formula is quite addicting if you liked it at the start and so an analogy would be that the story is like a bag of some snack. Its not revolutionary at all, its not gonna go some place you never expect it to go, and in that sense that makes the story more of one of those comfort "guilty" food-like novels where you just continue reading it specifically because you like the formula even if the overall level of creativity is basically sub-par. But one big thing that sets it apart (besides the plot obviously being different) is that the author seems to know when the formula gets too stale and throws in a development to add a bit more spice and refresh the reading fatigue timer. Whether it be the reveal of a function in the system,

Spoiler

okay this function of the system was of course revealed much earlier but still he decides to pick a chef role later on even if the script isn't graded too well specifically because the system will give him the skills to be a chef

[collapse]

a development in how the myths surrounding MC (which keep growing) affects those he works with or worked with in the past,

Spoiler

MC is shown two scripts at one point but since he declines them the guy who offered them decides that if MC isn't interested and just says they're fine, then they probably won't do great as MC has built a bit of a reputation of knowing exactly which scripts will go big by this point

[collapse]

or even a neat dynamic that you either haven't seen before or rarely ever see,

Spoiler

MC learned early on how the actress he was working with on the romance mini-series was actually a fan of him and that she was essentially as excited to work with him as he was to work with Hong Hye-yeon, so he found it funny that she was pulling the same act he had pulled which was to act aloof and cold all the whilst the people around them thought neither liked the other.

[collapse]

or some other detail/plotpoint that just makes it harder to put the story down.

Now if you wanted some heart-bursting excitement, explosive action, tear filled tragedy, or anything you might expect from much more competent writers then this is not at all the thing for you. This is just something to pass the time without completely melting your brain. You'll still need to melt your brain a bit though, but if you're on this site and haven't melted your brain then you have not been on it long enough at all. Or you just haven't been desperate enough. <<less

I want to thank the other reviewers that made me want read this without much hesitation because this was a breathe of fresh air for me, since all i've been reading recently is romance mtls and manwhas.

Reading up to chapter 40, there's still a lot of information that kept from us, for example how he got the void space and who made the void space, and what is the void space. It's a modern day fantasy, where only our MC has a system and abilities, no one else (for now), which is pretty rare today. The author can do a lot of things with this. But the raws are in the 200's already, so I think It should be done within 100 to 150 chaps, or else it might get a bit stale. We'll probably be fine since the story is very immersing and makes you finish it in one sitting. So honestly you should just wait for more chapters because the translators is going crazy, releasing like 5 or 6 chapters per week. Though the tl isn't the best, i'll say it's really good for how fast they're pumping these chaps out and they even edit it themselves.

Even if about acting, it doesn't get boring at all (I'm not saying acting is boring, it's just not for me), there's always something happening. I thought it was gonna be a bit like Genius of a Performing Arts High, but nah they're not even close at all. TBH I like this one more, probably because I'm growing a bit tired of harems. The best thing about this novel is that the misunderstanding is actually very enjoyable and this is coming from someone who doesn't like the misunderstanding trope that much. I usually don't like the trope because they never end the misunderstanding early and it always just makes everything go to sh*t especially in romance with a second ml, holy f*ck those f*cking situations are annoying. And the misunderstanding isn't like kage no jitsuryokusha, where the MC is completely oblivious. The MC in this actually knows that they are being misunderstood and he can't do anything bout because he has to keep up appearances as he is playing a persona. But it isn't even irritating and is funny and fun to read instead. One nitpick is the fact that he can keep up a poker face almost no matter what, it might be due to the void space but I don't ever remember the void space being able to do that, it's just a small nitpick so it doesn't matter/

Lastly, this is my first 5 star review, ofc it isn't the best or even near perfect, but I think it deserves a 5 star in my book, because I had so much fun reading it with my brain turned-off without caring bout' the plot holes.

Where should I start?

I love and hate this story. And the more I read, the stronger my hatred grows. Why? Is due to the wasted potential.

The start was nice, it got me hooked. I love misunderstanding stories where side characters build this incredulous narrative about MC. Giving him powers is also nice, because it keeps fuelling these misunderstandings. But that's where my love for it stops. Probably that's one of the reasons why I managed to go through 400+ chapters.

The first mistake this story made is the excessive praising MC... more>> keeps receiving, left and right, day and night. It's too much. To the point where their impact lost all value in my eyes, turning into simple filler called dialogue.

Second mistake was made through the excessive articles posted by the media. Sure, it does show MC's impact on the world, but it gets to the point as if he is the only subject that is being discussed. Where are the rest of the issues that affect the world? Did they took an eternal holiday to let MC shine? Bound to this are also the public comments. Sure, it shows their reaction towards MC, but again, too much. It got to the point I was starting to agree with the negative comments. "Woojin again? Why is he everywhere?"

Third mistake is the lack of communications between MC and the characters. Since he got the void space, he implemented his concept to hide his previous self. But what about those that know him? His parents, his sister, his friends? Nothing. Or rather is the minimum of minimums of interactions. The author says that he keeps contact with them, but only through messages. Show me calls, show me moments where he complains about the tough schedule, about meeting actors he looked up to, about how nervous he is. Show me this human side of him that makes me relate to him... Sigh... but no, he just keep being the robot he is. The guy goes through phenomenal events and not even then is not shown a thing. Every reaction of his is only internal. And because of this, characters that have left the scene have been forgotten. As if he never met them before in the first place. Heck, in the last 100+ chapters, there's basically nada about his parents or FLs that he interacted with. Even his main damn sponsor is dead silent.

Fourth mistake is the lack of MC development. Sure, he gets powers from the void, but I am not talking about that. I am talking about his mental development towards the roles he plays. How did he reach that conclusion? How did he came up with that ad-lib that took 2 months of contemplation? How does he see the acting of others? How could it be better? And so on. If anything like that was mentioned, it must've been in passing, because I can't remember anything. I only remember a schedule that makes me tired just by reading it, praises everywhere, articles and public comments. I guess that what you can summarize the story to.

Fifth mistake is the lack of 'humane' events. There was a charity event, sure, but that's not enough. Sure, there are fan signing events, but not all of them are the same. Everything is served on a conveyor belt at a high speed. Heck, if the author wrote a chapter for each day the MC had to go through, it would've been tens of time better than this. Then there are bloopers. Bloopers are an incredible entertainment no matter where you go. Those little mistakes are the real reason why people can empathize with the characters in the first place. Because they can see they are not perfect, that they are working hard towards their goal, you can also see the type of individual they are. Sure, MC is perfect, and that's fine, but give me bloopers caused by others, be it actors, staff or even equipment. Why are you glossing over this that could bring out a laugh and smile?

Sixth mistake is the lack of romance. Especially after learning to cook. Food is a major tool for someone to fall in love. Just imagine being able to eat all that delicious food, cooked by the one you love, with the one you love. Not only that, he can also sing, play piano, and has CQC experience. What more can you ask for? Sure, I am not saying that the FLs should just fall heads over just because of that, but it is enough to start an interest. To start a desire to know him better, to get closer and slowly build up to a point romantic feelings could be developed.

ARGH!!!

Sigh... well, I will keep reading to see where it goes after he gets his Academy Awards, as for now that is the highest objective set in this story. If it stops there, I wouldn't be surprised.

The story could've been so much more, only to land flat on its face. Hope a fanfiction or a remaster of this will be made where things go at a slower pace, delving into every nook and cranny in MC's life. I would love to read that story instead. <<less
