Light and Heat in K-Pop

Reborn, she lets her light and passion shine, staying true to her dreams and making the most of her youth.

Sunshine and thorns accompany her as she grows and pursues her dreams. Luckily, you’re by her side.

Can she part the clouds and see the light?

Who is Wu Shijie?

She is a singer who dazzles the world.

More than that, she is his sweet burden, the woman whose push and pull match his own, the flower on the far shore he keeps losing and missing, the Bible of a devout Catholic, the joy of his sunrises and sunsets, the moon he longs to steal and keep by his side, an accident where reason cannot overcome emotion, the key to a life he strives to share, someone as tangled and strange as himself, more than a friend but less than a lover, his savior-like little brat, her shocking secret, and the nourishment that turns her into a black lily.

Haha! Don’t let that paragraph fool you.

This is actually a female-led Korean entertainment-industry power fantasy with a little surrealism and the supernatural? Anyway, don’t read it as an ordinary, realistic showbiz career story.

Here are some potential dealbreakers readers have mentioned. See if any apply to you. If so, please don’t read it. You’ll complain, I’ll be sad, and you’ll be uncomfortable too, so let’s not put each other through that.

The past and present lives are complicated, the family background is overly elaborate, she debuts too young, there’s a same-sex romance, some details about her trainee days are unrealistic, the heroine is too beautiful, and the everyone-loves-her angle feels too fake. If any of these are dealbreakers, please leave now!

As for the writing, that’s a matter of opinion. Some think it’s terrible, while others love it. Let’s respect each other! Peace and love!
