   This is a Korean entertainment novel I've been following. It's a rare gem on Tomato (a popular Korean writing platform). The author's pacing, details, and writing style improve as the story progresses. Fans of Running Man, f(x), Shin Se-kyung, Lee Yoon-hee, Han Hyo-joo, Choi Sulli, IU, T-ara, and Goo Hara should definitely check it out. Also, I want to add a side note: Kwang-soo is the true female lead!!!

    The first book is about Korean entertainment. The female lead is Yoo Ji-min, and the author is very skilled at writing. The male lead is a writer and a broadcaster with a strong background. They start as neighbors and later become lovers. The plot develops steadily and is very sweet step by step. The female lead is also like a kitten. The second book is about Japanese entertainment.

The author's writing is good, the plot is full of ups and downs, and the highlight is that the protagonist can write a very popular song later.
