15 years later, he acted with Liu Xiaosheng in the remake of his old drama, and burned to death; someone ruined his face and acting career with a big fire,Then he was killed by another fire.

It's a pity for them that Zhou Yuhe didn’t die.He returned to before the first fire with extraordinary acting skills that he had cultivated for fifteen years.

★The plot is maybe a bit cliche but bearable. In his second life, the MC achieves his dream of being an actor. Meanwhile, the ML, is arguably one of the best male leads ever. While he isn't as proactive as most male leads, his gentle, supportive and charismatic character has inevitably earned him a place as the protagonist's important emotional pillar.

Singer, actor, freelance writer, he actually went through three sections of different lives in a dream world! When he woke up, Lu Chen thus embarked on a bright road of becoming a perfect superstar!... more>>

★It's not perfect.. But it's definitely a light and enjoyable slice of life read.

Good part :-- Loyal MC (no harem), no arrogant youngmaster, no almost got r*ped thing, enjoyable side character, light to read

Lacking part :-- No major conflict, MC keep plagiarism work from other world, lack of tension lack of drama between character, FL being with MC too early, MC can do anything & never fail, MC have super rich influential buddy as plot armor, no major antagonist, lot of plot hole

Q : Wait.. The lacking part is more than the good part.. Why you rated it so high ?

A : Because a lot of CN WN have this kind of issue but still get high rating and this one despite having that much of cons was manage to keep me entertained, so basically in CN Webnovel standard, it's really good compared with others. This novel audience is for people who love light slice of life story read.

Confronting the aunt and uncle who wants to seize the family property and getting rid of those slag friends who only know how to eat and drink…Rong Xu: To not speak out means to perish in the silence!From starting out as a third-rate celebrity, he had to rely on his own efforts to rise to the top of the entertainment circle, aspiring to once again sit on the throne!Their first meeting —Rong Xu: Hello, I’m Rong Xu. This would be our first time meeting, I would appreciate your guidance.Qin Cheng: !!! (…Aahhh, He’s so cute! I really want to sleep with him!)

★Both MC and ML are individually and together. It's a slow build story, and will takes time until they get together. 

Imo, this story has balance between the romance aspect and the actual plot (of MC trying to climb up to the top of the entertainment circle). I'd recommend this to those who like cute, fluffy, and entertainment circle-themed story. <<less

★ Translation is okay, with few errors. 

Good part: slice of Life, happy times, making friends, several potential love-interests, a good pacing novel. 

Corner for improvement: Petty conflict, little romantic progress, drang on scenes, no major conflict other than MCs past.  <<less

★ MC ( Park Moondae) is funny and he don't know it. When in first person POV at the beginning, we think he's a regular smart guy with some funny reactions at the absurdity of his situation, but when we switch to other characters POVs, he really seems to be a funny guy who does absurd things with a straight face,  haha.

The group is amazing. They have a precious relationship! And each one of them has their special moment. The characters have their own birthdays and since the novel is so popular, there are interviews with each character (in their birthday date) and is published with offers and a raffle of special gifts for the fans in Kakaopage?

And yeah, there is a lot of fan merch, but there is also official merch!

And did you know that last year (December 2021) it won the second place in the category of "Best novel of the year" hold at Kakaopage? Now (December 2022) it has won the award of Popular work in the drama webtoon category, Best new webtoon, Best consistent seller in the category of modern fantasy web novels, Most commented series (760 thousand comments), and Readers' favorite series.

The manager asked me. “Jae hee, why do you always keep two copies of the script?”... more>>

“Well, you can lose it.”

“Alas, a thorough child preparedness anyway. 

"However, it is a lie.There is a reason why I can not get two copies of the script.One is the purpose of carrying it on the film, showing it to others. 

Another one is. [Drama can be absorbed.] [Do you want to absorb?] I use it for food.I take the script and make it mine only. It is a bonus to ‘digest’ all the characters, dialogues, and writers’ images written in the script together.

★The plot sounded interesting but the dialogue and general story was mess. It doesn’t seem coherent at all, Not sure if it’s a translation problem or if the original story is like this but essentially you can’t really tell what's going on. <<less

So when he came back to his original body, there was a face genius standing in the mirror.

*Face genius: a Korean slang term for someone who is very good looking. 

★This novel is a pretty nice introduction to K-fan culture for international fans who don't go deep to that side. The story is all about the every-day life of MC and his band mates and their journey to stardom, like how they run the schedules, cope with fans and broadcasting stations, as well as other external and mental issues, etc. <<less

As such, I had vowed to become the ‘bottom’ of U-PITE in earnest and walk only on the path of success.However, a problem had arisen. The other members seemed to have fallen for my ‘bottom’ act.

★In short, MC transferred to another person (same world/timeline as himself) , he must complete that person's wish, to be an idol. After doing that, MC can get a chance of revenge on those who killed him.

MC has a system, which can provide him information in various ways and let him, to some extent, increase his stats (which are idol related) The story for now seems well written and the characters look to be fleshed out well. <<less

“…Quest accepted.” "Are you crazy?" “Don’t we need to eat and live?” His specialty is blackmailing, his hobby is persuasion.

The survival story of the unscrupulous PD-turned-idol who will stop at nothing!

 

★ Really like the premise of someone who knows what happens behind the scenes being an idol. It seems that the MC won't play it all clean either. Despite the different character settings the MC has it doesn't seem to deviate from the standard idol plot. I'd suggest to read this if you're in an idol webnovel phase. <<less

“I’ll become a star who shines more than anyone else.”His dreadful dancing wasn’t an issue anymore.

At last, an idol with everything prepared.Now, a monster rookie has appeared in the entertainment world!In this life, the greatest star in the universe!

★ So far pretty good! This is more of a slow burn slice of life idol novel so got a bit bored by chap 100+ but so far I really appreciate it and its really enjoyable.

The main premise is that our MC, Wooju is an ex-kpop trainee mostly due to his inability to dance but in some freak accident he somehow gained the ability to copy any type of movement that he has seen. Really like how the MC doesn't focus on this supernatural ability inorder to succeed cause he's actually extremely talented, the only thing holding him back is his lack of dancing skills.

Spoiler--- He's actually a really good composer as well as a decent singer, the author's kinda going for the Gdragon route for MC.

Xue Xiao was a diligent and hardworking background actor. Then he offended a big name in the circle and became unable to receive new acting roles.

He thought he would never be able to realize his dream and become an excellent actor like Shen Tingyan until he suddenly received an email one day.

[Hello, you have passed the audition for ‘Studio Superstar.’ Please be on time…] 

This was an actor talent show created by the largest media platform in the country. A new starting point was laid out in front of him. Here, he went from being unknown to becoming the brightest star on the big screen.

At the same time, he also touched the star that belonged to him.

—

Shen Tingyan was one of the four mentors of the show ‘Studio Superstar,’ and his first impression of Xue Xiao was that of a shy, studious contestant who carefully watched every scene with wide eyes.

The second time he saw Xue Xiao, he found that even if this young man had no one to act with him, he could use the little flowers on the roadside, the air in front of him, or the kitten taking a nap in front of him as his scene partners to practice his lines diligently. There might be a bit of shyness, but he was entirely focused once immersed in it.

The third time he saw Xue Xiao, the young man was lying in a corner of the studio and sleeping in a daze. The script he held in his arms was full of his previous comments on the scene, and a cute chibi version of a person was drawn next to it.This little person inexplicably looked like him, which made Shen Tingyan fall into deep thought.

The fourth time he saw Xue Xiao…The little guy was peeking at him.Once Xue Xiao was caught, he buried his head in a panic and pretended that nothing had happened. However, his ears were so red that they seemed to be dripping blood.Shen Tingyan stared at the crimson color, paused, and drew a horizontal line on his script.He inexplicably decided that he would make a note of it every time he caught Xue Xiao peeking at him in the future.

Then he found that he had drawn a full ten ‘正’ characters in just one day.Shen Tingyan finally couldn’t help laughing.

—

Xue Xiao’s starting point was a passerby corpse on the battlefield.Later, he became a dejected young man drunk by the side of the road, a high-spirited young general, a lonely mute, a dissolute wastrel…He ran all the way to the brightest night sky. On the day he stepped on the Best Actor’s podium at the age of 25, the one who handed him the trophy was Shen Tingyan, who accompanied him all the way.

Shen Tingyan asked him with a smile, “What do you want to do most now?”Xue Xiao faced this man, pursed his lips, and smiled. “I have already obtained what I want most.”

"What about you?“I want to hold the star in my hand now,” the man said.
