- Every characters have their own unique depth, they have reason to do their action and reason to stop their wrong-doing.
- I generally don't really enjoy 1st person's point of view because, sometimes, it gets a little... cramped. We look at the world through the main character's view, which means certain things are limited. However, in this story, the first-person point of view really fits. At least, this is the only first-person point of view that I can keep up to chapter 400 (yes... more than 300 chapters MTL...).
- The effectiveness of funny chapters and sad chapters are all nicely made. Honestly, I don't really cry when it comes to reading or even watching, but really, the love that Seo Ho-yoon has for his brother was really great to the point that it made me cry at some point... He doesn't often call his brother (due to the Idol activity), no, he doesn't even directly narrate that 'I love my brother' even once in the whole novel, but we all know that.
Spoiler
[collapse]
Anyway, I do like to read a novel that is evolving around a caring character who is bad at expressing their feeling like Ho-yoon so... Yes, If you have read TCF (tr*sh of the Count Family), you will find yourself addicted to this novel. As for now, I'm ready for another round with this novel~Somewhere after the 300s, Seo Ho-jin lost his original memory, just a tiny bit... (Ho-yoon's real age, the fact that Ho-yoon was a PD, not an idol.) That moment has given Ho-yoon a short panic attack... Remember, there was only 2 panic attack that he experienced from the beginning to this point, first was the that Min Ji-heon makes him remember the car incident and the second is this one...
- The MC, Hoyun, tr*shy personality makes this novel unique and fresh. I read a lot of idol manhwa and novel, and hoyun's way of getting his goals makes you baffled (blackmailing and stuffs).
- How The Dawn (their group name) members' get along with each other. At first, they are not as close with each other but now, I quote back what was written in the novel, 'a relationship that's too ambiguous to called friends, yet too intimate to be called acquaintances'.
- Some people that Hoyun blackmailed ended up being the characters that I really like. I don't want to spoil further more about this cause it will ruin the fun.
- The fandom is too damn relatable and hilarious. I don't know how many times I cackled like a mad witch reading the fandom's reactions.
- The siblings love and care for each other makes me feel like I want to cry, jealous and adore. They truly can't live without each other.
There's other reasons that I want to list down but let me just stop it here.
