    This story is absolutely brilliant! The female lead's acting and growth in the entertainment industry are portrayed incredibly realistically, climbing the ladder step by step with steady, solid effort, without any shortcuts. The female lead has an exceptionally strong sense of self; she clearly understands what she wants—good scripts to act in. External opinions have little impact on her; she relies on her resources to fight for opportunities, which is incredibly admirable. Because of its length, the story effectively conveys the changing public opinion, from obscurity to semi-famous status, then to widespread online criticism, and finally to a complete reversal of public opinion, all written smoothly and naturally. Especially the later comparison of the female lead's acting with the male supporting character—the overwhelming public support for her performance is undeniable, which is incredibly satisfying. The fans' behavior is also very realistic; seeing more and more people support the female lead is truly heartwarming. The latest episode, where she walks the red carpet in a suit, is even more stunning! The author is truly skilled at writing comebacks and the friendship subplot is also exceptionally well-developed. They all have their own thoughts and lives, and the details of their interactions are beautifully portrayed. It's written very warmly, and the process of them gradually becoming friends feels very natural. You can feel their mutual appreciation and how they become a part of each other's lives. The original female lead's awakening storyline is also very well written. I look forward to her becoming a very successful CEO. Now I really want to see the audience's reaction after the drama airs! I can't wait for the rest of the story.
