These two books are somewhat similar, but each has its own merits. The first one is a bit comedic; the male lead is a composer with memories of a past life. He's adept at writing lyrics, composing music, writing novels, and even poetry—a bit of a goofball, especially in his inner monologues, where he lets his talent speak for itself. The female lead is a small-time singer, but very elegant, a bit of a contrast, and also a little arrogant. I highly recommend checking it out. The second book is a literary and entertainment novel that I really enjoy reading; you won't regret it.
