    I personally think this is really good. It's about a guy who transmigrates and wants to become a singing champion, but the system forces him to act, mostly playing villains. The descriptions of his acting are incredibly well done; that's why I recommend it—it's concise yet vivid, you know what I mean. Although there are a few slightly (really just a tiny bit) awkward parts, it doesn't detract from the overall experience. And it seems the female lead hasn't been decided yet, but there's a vague one, Liu Yifei. I didn't really like the scenes where Liu Yifei went to the male lead's house, maybe it's because I don't like female leads in stories like this. But the flaws don't outweigh the merits at all, believe me.
