Hard to read when you don't like the MC

by RandyRanda

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

Plot is ok, art lack soul and repetitive (but pretty at least) I can't with Lisa. So annoying and manipulative, no improvement no nothing in 40 chapters. I saw spoilers and she still acts as the same brat and her love life is still messy and indecisive. Bruh. Drop 46.

I feel betrayed

by AzzIzz

Rating: N/A

This webtoon is a reason I always check the tags/ending spoilers before I pick up a complete story. And I could swear the category on Webtoon was Romance at first, then was changed to Drama. If I noticed this earlier, maybe I could save myself from this horrible feeling of betrayal, from both FL and the author.

Like someone mentioned earlier, the final interaction between FL and ML was so terrible and ooc for FL imo. And I was rooting for them so hard, I being so excited about new chapters after their second breakup, waiting for them to beat the big bads together. But nah, "have a nice life" is what I (and ML) got. My stupid ass still naively thought that maybe there's gonna be a side story, an epilogue, anything, even the tiniest mention of the main couple reunion (it wouldn't even had to be romantic, just something that would show FL still caring about ML), but nope.

It truly killed all the joy I had from reading this story. I was pissed off for DAYS.

a drama

Rating: 6.5 / 10.0

not exceptional, but not terrible. 6.5/10

It was hard to like Lisa because she was very mean to Dowon but then you learn of her tragic past:

her mom pressured her into acting despite Lisa hating it but excels in it because she had talent. turns out her dad was a famous actor (Yeomyeong? Ye) who had raped her mom. Bio dad also beats up her half bro (JoJo a popular kpop idol) so that's why her half bro hated her and plotted her demise since he was jealous of how his dad always only paid attention to Lisa who was an actor prodigy and the dad had often abused JoJo whenever JoJo failed at acting. Lisa doesn't know who her real dad is at first so she doesn't get why Jojo does some horrible things to her like getting his "friends" to give her drugs while she was drunk (which he had encouraged) then let the media know so there was a huge scandal and she had to retire from acting - and this happened when Lisa's mom just died not too long ago. (Lisa's mom died when she was around high school so it was difficult for Lisa to go through high school if it wasn't for her meeting Dowon soon after her mom's death and then he took care of her). After she lies and hurts Dowon to break up with him, she gets into a drug scandal orchestrated by her half bro JoJo (she was age ~20/21) she spends 3 years gaming and drinking but still look the same: pretty. lol. she then comes back to acting when her mom's friend, a famous director, has a high school tv drama for her as female lead as it was based on her life story. her costar is Dowon, who had decided to pursue acting because he wanted to be worthy of Lisa who said she broke up with him because he was a nobody and wasn't as handsome as the celebrity she was seeing (which was a lie as she didn't date anyone else). Dowon ends up being male lead quickly because he sells his body (a "sponsor" who was a rich older woman) and he goes through a lot of trauma doing that to get famous (barfing after sex with the sponsor, getting beaten up when he wants to leave and get out of the "sponsorship", feeling too ashamed to face his family so he avoids them and has no system, etc.)

It's hard to see why Dowon liked Lisa or how he fell in love with her in the beginning. They just started dating because Lisa fell for his kindness and asked him out (in the stye of "you should be grateful that an acting prodigy is asking you out" kind of way). Otherwise, he's like the perfect boyfriend when they were dating in high school before they broke up: soft-spoken, does all the house chores for her, cooks for her, worries about her, even when she lies to hurt him to break up with him for "his own good" he realizes she likely lied. and he's tall & handsome to boot. Lisa's a tsundere, prickly on the outside but she can be nice sometimes.

during Lisa's comeback tv drama (3 years after her drug scandal and retirement) Dowon and Lisa briefly secretly date after falling for each other again while shooting the drama, and it's a little chaotic how they got back together but then Dowon had to break things off when his "sponsor" found out, beat him up, and threatened to create scandals to ruin Lisa's career as well as his.

Dowon ends up leaving the sponsorship by telling the media about it (a scandal about how he sold sexual favours to get to the top) to protect Lisa from being affected by a video of her drug scandal in the past being released by her half bro JoJo. With his acting career ruined, Dowon then leaves acting and goes back to see his family. So sad there's no epilogue/special chapters of current Dowon. Lisa and him don't end up together but it would be nice to see how he's doing as he's MIA for the last arc (taking down Lisa's dad).

2nd male lead Zeya with the dyed red hair: how he fell in love with Lisa was more believable and he always adores Lisa and ires her for her pro acting. He had a crush on her since he first saw her acting when they were around middle school age. He played 2nd male lead in Lisa's comeback tv drama and falls deeper in love with her but Lisa has no interest in him (until the last special episode after the epilogue which hints she may finally have feelings for him.) Zeya doesn't even mind when she uses him to get Dowon jealous during shooting the drama (before the 2nd time Dowon and Lisa date).
Zeya's character is pretty much the same throughout the story as a steady beacon of light in all the dark drama surrounding Lisa.

The climax is Lisa and JoJo (after the siblings make up) take down their dad (who's a psycho who wants the perfect actor child and believes the child is his possession to control) by recording him beating up JoJo and by releasing the video recording of Lisa's mom and dad talking about how he raped her mom despite being married to JoJo's mom. she adds the cherry on top by getting Hagyeong Ma (rival actress turned friend who played 2nd female lead in her comeback tv drama) to beat her up and claim her dad beat her up to sink her dad further (dad was saying he beat JoJo up because JoJo had just itted to screwing Lisa up with the drug scandal). So now the public knows that Lisa was taken advantage of for the drug scandal and she's also the famous dad's daughter so JoJo also quits being a kpop idol (he was a genius with composing and singing/dancing but never got acknowledged by his dad). The epilogue/specials never mention what happens to JoJo either. He just disappears.

Lisa ends up winning the best actress award from her comeback tv drama. the end.

Emotional Ride

by chad3lee

Rating: N/A

Brutality realistic in it's depiction of society and the acting industry.

I understand that the author wanted to write a story where the female lead goes from dependant to independent but the way she handled the final interaction with the main male lead was underwhelming at best and insulting at worst.
She sees him broken and torn down but finally able to see the light at the end of the tunel, and she reminds him of how he was their for her darkest hour. How he helped her coap how after they broke up she finally learned to stand on her two feet becouse of his . And what does she tell him?
Have a nice life.
Not a I can help you like you helped me, not a I am strong enough to not only face my demons but help you face yours. This story made it clear that that he was already getting up after hitting rock bottom, that he still had all that internalized self hate which she was aware of, that she was the one to build him up and tear him down, and that they still cared for each other. It was a character assassination for her to turn her back to him at that moment, when it's been well established that she cares for him. Have a nice life? I like to pretend that scene didn't exist, it would have been better if they never ed each other, rather than have her turn her back on some one she cares about while they are literally down and beaten. Lisa was never characterized as a bitch but that scene made her out to be.

All the emotions were expressed perfectly. Truly recommend to someone that loves angst, rational, mature, etc.

⚠️ this manhwa is darker than i thought.

Good, characters with flaws

by Shimma

Rating: N/A

Its a good webtoon, where everyone has their one strugles and the main characters aren't perfect, and those flaws and wrong decisions have an impact in their future.
I wasn't sure at first, but I got really addicted afters ch.20.

someone put a tragedy tag on here

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

This manhwa is one of those tragic ones that hurt your heart the more you read. Author did a pretty good job at making you feel bad for the main characters. So far it’s mainly a flashback to mc’s past as an idol. I have a feeling this flashback will last for quite a long time, so if you’re gonna read this manhwa, hang in there and be patient lol. It’s quite slow, but then again I feel as if we’re barely at the beginning of this story.
