   The opening scene, with its tacit understanding and mutual attraction, is quite captivating. However, it starts strong but then declines, with the characters' feelings not yet deep, yet they suddenly find themselves inseparable...

   The female lead is obsessed with her brother, and the male lead is obsessed with his sister, a devoted twin. They are the closest of twins, born together. The male lead is someone else, and the twins have a very close relationship, but I'm totally hooked on the incestuous dynamic... Many of their interactions are incredibly sweet and indulgent. Lines like "I love you the most, my baby" and "We've been together since we were embryos, we'll never meet again, and we'll never be separated" are just too sweet for anyone to handle! The writing style reveals a strong student influence, but the logic is clear and the expression is concise; I read it in one go.

   This is an old-fashioned story with outdated values. The dragon character is still the arrogant and domineering type that was popular back then, and the change in the second half didn't seem to have any appeal... Although it's a long story, there's very little useful information in each chapter.

4. 4 老 [Showbiz] Honey, Aren't You Going to Make It Official?

Teach me how to survive and find my place in this world, and use your connections and money to help me bloom more brilliantly. After that, I’ll belong to us.” That was Meng Lingci’s view of love at twenty. Back then, she had nothing but her beauty and was struggling to make ends meet. Wanting somewhere to stay during the holidays, she accepted a sacrificial role on a dating show: a cannon-fodder character w 8kFavorites9.7kClicks/ch5.3kGifts

   The only flaw in this book is the poor pacing at the beginning. The female lead's character development is rushed, with adjectives piled up like they're free (one moment cold and aloof, the next weak and vulnerable), which only backfires. In the first few chapters, when the dragon and the female lead first meet, there's still suspicion, but the transition to ambiguity is incredibly fast. Before belike readers can even get into the story, the author hastily sets up the stage. The logical connections between paragraphs are a bit weak, requiring a lot of thought to skim through. However, after a while, the ambiguity/romance scenes are still enjoyable. Do you two have some kind of mission to deliver sweet moments?

5. 5 八 [Showbiz] Eight Hundred Heartbeats [娱乐圈]八百次心动 Raise a Cup with Passion慨然倾杯Romance477k WordsOngoing [The female lead is a fan who sees the male lead as a potential boyfriend. She's level-headed and doesn't compete with other women. Please only read if you're okay with that!] Lin Xiyin treats her affection for someone as a goodbye that's lasted twelve years.

   This story, about a troublemaker and someone else, revolves around two love-struck individuals experiencing countless moments of infatuation. Those who have followed the protagonist for years will likely resonate with the female lead's character; she possesses a clear-headed and endearing personality. The author's observations of the protagonist are comprehensive and detailed; he candidly reveals that he's just an ordinary person in love, and he also fully unleashes his charm—powerful yet lighthearted. This story possesses a romantic quality rarely seen in similar works, and precisely because of this, it feels somewhat meticulously crafted. Therefore, the writer's current writer's block isn't surprising…

As the most popular idol, a man who was always flying from one place to another and adored by millions, what kind of girl could possibly be worthy of him?

   Curator note

   Oh, what a gem! The female lead is free-spirited and independent, and her verbal sparring with Long is hilarious. Long, while proud and lively, is a bit of a wimp, but the analysis of his frequent girlfriend changes and his (essentially selfish) views on love is insightful. As a 2016 novel, its analysis of the five members of the group is unique and forward-thinking… I especially loved the scenes with Long's coffee shop and the Lucifer tattoo on the back of his neck. "From her perspective, the tattoo on the back of his neck looked like a fallen angel himself, folding his wings and kneeling devoutly before her," which, combined with the skydiving story in the text, makes it even more special… (Finally, it's not a play within a play!). Also, the contrast between the first encounter in the first chapter and the clown later in the story—he's like a happy clown, trying his best to make every audience member laugh, his face smiling while his eyes are crying.

7. 7 她 [Showbiz] She's Really Hungry [娱乐圈]她是真的饿了 Zongzi Dipped in White Sugar粽子沾白糖Romance545k WordsOngoing An Youlin is really hungry.

Realizing she’d been duped, she raises her sights even higher: she has to become a superstar! “Pretty looks and passable singing and dancing aren’t enough to earn love. You also need outstanding expressiveness, a great variety-show presence, and buzzworthy topics. It’d be even better if you could write you 10.9kFavorites16kClicks/ch18kGifts

   The female lead's inhuman charm and cuteness are well-balanced. The writing style leans towards Japanese light novels, though the career development is a bit weak. I liked the part where Ryu dreams of the cosmic sky and the female lead's spiritual connection during his military service... He would definitely enjoy it and be inspired by it, haha.

   Creating a cute female lead can easily go overboard and make her look silly if you're not careful. And it's not just the female lead; even the dragon seems a bit dim-witted...

   Curator note

   I wasn't particularly interested in the female-female rivalry in the copywriting, but a comment in the comments section about Kim Jin-ah versus Kiko Mizuhara made me laugh... It's a story about two dark and obsessive people, full of melodramatic entanglements. Although it still has some outdated customs (smashing things is the least of it), those who appreciate strong emotions should enjoy it.

10. 10 据 They Say She's the Male Star's Ex [Entertainment Industry] 据说她是男神前任[娱乐圈] Jiang Yunyi江蕴意Romance259k WordsCompleted To Yu Xi, Kwon Jiyong was a dreamboat, an idol to admire from afar but never touch. So one day, when her idol pinned her against a wall and asked if she wanted to get back together, Yu Xi was dumbfounded. Get back together? Had her idol gotten drunk and mistaken her for someone else? She had never dated him. Kwon Jiyong sneered. If they'd never dated, then who was the person he had been with all those years ago, a ghost? And was the child who looked just like him born from a crack in a rock? 4.3kFavorites20.6kClicks/ch1.2kGifts

    Curator note

    The same old formula: a compelling yet melodramatic plot + a stereotypical, idiotic villain + a traditional family member who tries to break up the couple (this time it's Quan Damei's turn...), And a male and female lead who feel like they're wearing the same old novel. After reading them all, I'm a total fan...

11. 11 娱 You Call It an Obsession 娱乐圈之你说执念 I'm Serious Liang我是正经凉Romance559k WordsCompleted For Quan Zhilong, An Xiuwen was a fleeting glimmer from his youth. He stared at her in a daze until she disappeared from view. For An Xiuwen, Quan Zhilong was an unexpected twist in her life. She smiled gently as she watched him step into it, one step at a time. In short, it's the story of two people who meet and then hold hands~~ I really like GD, so I wanted to write a story about him. But at heart, your humble author is lazy, lazy, lazy, so I kept putting it off and putting it off for a long 7.8kFavorites56.2kClicks/ch119Gifts

    The world's most unrestrained and free-spirited soul, like the wind, was captured for a fleeting moment by Quan Long's pure and sincere love—just a fleeting moment. The female protagonist lived the life I most fantasized about but could never achieve. Like Long, I stared in disbelief, envying the freedom she possessed that I could never have. The writing is divine; the final chapter, with its untitled rice cake shop and tears falling into the spoon, is perhaps the true ending. My favorite scene is Long riding the subway alone after the breakup, reminding me of the tunnel scene in Roche's Limit—"When you have something, you don't realize how short it is; only after losing it do you think, 'If I had known it was the last time, I should have ridden the subway with her all day.'"

    The story revolves around a cool, adorable, and straightforward female lead, and a seemingly innocent but actually cunning and manipulative male lead, Guilong.

He had never admitted to being in a relationship, and everything was just a guess. What can you do? When this sneaker dealer won't release any new music, people turn to gossip about his private life instead.

    After the ban on Korean entertainment, the female lead returned to China and became a top star. I personally quite like this kind of reconciliation story, so I could accept the plot involving a child who wasn't initially interested. Currently, it has a relatively sober, adult feel to it; I'll wait and see how it develops.

    Compared to other sweet romance novels, this one is simply a healing masterpiece… The style is carefree and gentle, like a fairy tale for adults, like The Little Prince, making up for many regrets in reality. The female lead is cute and lovable, and the dragon is also good; the way he gives her affection is very funny. My two favorite parts are: first, whenever the little girl gets upset, the dragon picks her up and spins her around; second, the scene where he recreates his brother's iconic hand-holding moment on the street… It's incredibly romantic TT…

    I only read the dragon part. The beginning was bland, but the second half became quite interesting. The writing style is rather simple, giving off a feeling of an honest person trying hard but being a little unethical. I particularly appreciate the book's honest attitude towards exes; it's all in the past, and everyone's an adult now. 3.5 Stars.

    This is an old-fashioned story. Even with some tweaks to the plot (the reverse of the love interest), it still feels relevant today. The first half is very interesting, featuring a younger man/older woman relationship. However, the pacing suddenly drops after the female lead debuts as a big star... Another memorable point is that Kim Jin-ah also falls for the female lead.

    Another food-themed novel. The female lead in this one is a bit more likable than in "Dreams Come True." The romance follows the popular "scumbag revenge" formula, which is very enjoyable to read. To be honest, given Long's character, he probably wouldn't dare to cheat on his girlfriend, otherwise his exes would have exposed him long ago.

    Finally, this author has a book I can finish reading from beginning to end. There's no high-tension scumbag male lead, but there are still stereotypical villains with low intelligence (who are mentally challenged but can take care of themselves and are therefore treated as normal). The process of torturing the villains is not satisfying at all and just feels like a waste of time. The male lead's characterization still lacks the dragon flavor. It's just a good way to pass the time.

    The plot is quite appealing, but the female protagonist keeps failing when she tries to sign a divorce agreement with Long, whom she has been secretly married to for three years, and she is transported back in time. The title and the values ​​of marriage and childbirth in the latter half of the story are really outdated. Long's character in the story is arrogant and likes to smash things, which is not very appealing.

    A rather bland, domestically produced romance novel. The writing style is too flat; even after they've been together for a while, the male and female leads still seem unfamiliar with each other.

    This is the first time I've seen such a rambling, diary-like style. The female lead's character is as overly complicated as Da Bing's: she skipped grades from a young age and was directly admitted to Seoul National University, while studying for a master's degree in finance at Harvard and winning acting awards, and she has an unparalleled family background. It all feels too fake and I can't accept it. Although the author has mentioned these shortcomings, it's a matter of opinion. It's still being serialized, so I'll give it three stars for now.

    My heart, which was filled with anticipation after reading the synopsis, gradually shattered as the main text unfolded… Aside from the awkward writing style (the excessive use of exclamation marks) and character development, there were two instances of utterly unacceptable lack of common sense: In 2016, a time of limited fashion in South Korea, high-end luxury was only accessible to a select few at the very top. When the female lead's haute couture dress malfunctioned, the male lead, with a single phone call, managed to procure a similar dress from the same brand within twenty minutes. Putting aside the realistic circumstances, I can't even be bothered to criticize this plot where the male lead creates problems for the female lead and then effortlessly resolves them (even the male lead isn't that all-powerful…). Secondly, the female lead actually won the Baeksang Arts Awards' Best Supporting Actress award for her role in "Weightlifting Fairy," which really gives the impression that the author hasn't done any research on the entertainment industry (sweat).

    I can accept the limitations of the writing style and historical details in this older work by a renowned author, but I really can't accept this chauvinistic value system.

    I really enjoyed the early stages of their relationship, confined to a small apartment, the intimacy and romance of adults in that cramped space. Later, the story shifted to pregnancy, an arranged marriage that blossomed into love.

Even the older character, Lao Qian, didn't hold my interest. Only the interactions between the male and female leads were truly captivating…

    Curator note

    This is a angst-filled novel I've long admired, but it's nothing like the old-fashioned kind of story I imagined. It completely overwhelmed my enjoyment... The character of Long is 90% in line with my expectations: beneath his spirited, lion-like personality lies an artist's personality, raised in a loving environment. He's skilled at showering people with love, yet desperately needs to reciprocate. His coquettishness and charm are merely subconscious tools for extracting affection. This cycle of giving and receiving emotions is presented dramatically in his works time and time again. This habit, like his intimate relationships, has a root explanation—he's always been a performer. Behind the scenes, however, he always adheres to the last shred of his self, a selfish and arrogant self. The other 10% of the character development goes wild on fantasy themes, with elements of obsessive-compulsive disorder, dog-training literature, and a dragon who is simultaneously a mother, father, and brother—all these plot points are incredibly satisfying to watch… In short, this is the most logically consistent work of artistic interpretation that I have ever read. Even if the real life of the dragon might not be so dramatic, as a fan fiction, I, as a reader, am completely satisfied.

    Curator note

    The writing is absolutely top-tier. The chaotic, obsessive, conflicting, painful, and dark emotions between the three are like a ball of yarn. Yet, in many places, you can appreciate the characters' cuteness and three-dimensionality. The characters are very well-developed, with an immature, clumsy, and eccentric Tower and a yandere, scheming, and coquettish Dragon. The female lead literally has a mental illness. The early scenes where the two male leads, Dragon and Tower, seduce the female lead have a Lolita feel (they are really awful, but the writing is so natural that it doesn't feel abrupt). Later on, it's mostly about torturing the male leads. After reading the whole entangled story, what I miss the most is actually the recording studio during the assistant's time. "He went from an unfamiliar boss to a boy who would blush, a boy with beautiful eyes and a smile." In addition, the domestic version is very melodramatic, and those who don't like it may find it unacceptable. The entertainment industry in the story is not like a society governed by law. My mood often wavered between "Is this really not too exaggerated?" And "This is too tragic TT". In short, the taste is on the melodramatic, entangled and dark side, needless to say, go for it.
