Korean entertainment novels This list is no longer limited to stories with a single female lead. There are too few great Korean entertainment novels with just one female lead, while multiple female leads are the norm. Here are some good novels with multiple female leads, as well as some with an all-female cast, where the protagonist is a woman.

All Genres: Lighthearted, Laid-Back, and No Mindless Torture of the Protagonist
I mainly recommend lighthearted stories, because life is hard enough already. There's a bit of every genre, but I lean toward new authors and new releases. My imagination tends to run wild when I read, so you can leave the personal notes and likes behind and just take the books. Going with the flow :)
Entertainment Novel Reading List
This list is for entertainment-industry novels I've read. Most of the books here suit my personal taste. I prefer stories that feel grounded in reality and don't care for mindless wish-fulfillment stories where the protagonist is already maxed out from the start. There aren't any truly awful books here. I'd also love recommendations for similar works. If I like them, I'll add them to the list.

Korean entertainment. If it's not your thing, don't come in. Compared with its former glory, Korean entertainment fiction has fallen off, but there are still people working hard to create it. I'll recommend books that suit my taste. They may contain spoilers and subjective opinions, so read at your own discretion. It's a niche genre, so let's cherish what we have.

As an old bookworm, I never criticize when reading a book. If I can't stand it, I will take it off the shelf. This is my first post, because it is rare to see a relatively novel beginning in a niche subject. I hope it will stay on the bookshelf until the end. I also hope that more readers will like this subject. Good luck, author! The core of most rebirth themes is to make up for regrets. The plots of the first few chapters are also the same. However, judging from the current plot, the male protagonist seems to have no regrets and seems to have no goals and driving force. The current plot seems to be driven by the newly encountered idol, and the plot is slightly thin. At the same time, as the other side of the double penetration, Yoona was already a top-notch person in her previous life. To make up for the regrets of the group, on the one hand, does she have any regrets herself? Even if we are to embark on a new life, it is reasonable to have more say and better protect ourselves, right? From the emotional point of view, the two have experienced life and death together. Even if there is no love between the two parties now, the bond between them is the only one. If the male protagonist has emotional entanglements with other female characters at this time, then the significance of this double penetration will be weakened. Lin Yoona is a bit like a backdrop for the male protagonist to know more women, a cash machine. In terms of audience, most of the audience of Lin Yoona's generation were born in the 1990s, and now they are basically old bookworms. It's not that there is no market for daily harem novels, but works with three-dimensional characters, a collection of plots, and heavy content are very rare. This work has a novel beginning, and the initial characters' personalities are basically in line with the characters' age. I hope it can continue. To summarize, my purpose is to increase the career line of a single female protagonist. How to write it is still the author's business. If I had the ability, I wouldn't have to talk nonsense here! Come on, author!
About the book friend who wants to replace the main character with himself after his collapse ——Trial reading of the new book "Starting from That Korean City"
#New Book Trial Reading# One is a domineering and leaking national goddess who insists on asking me to eat soft rice, One is a bright and charming public lover who insists on asking me out for excitement, The three of us, a family who love each other, happen to be monogamous with each other, Huh? Something seems wrong??? Book title: "Starting from That Korean City" Author: Yi Xiaobai Time: May 25-present Number of words: 83,000 words Tag: Korean entertainment/rebirth/daily/dual heroines [Highlight] [Highlight 1] The arrangement of the encounter between the author and the heroines is very smooth and reasonable, the rhythm and tension are well controlled, and the sufficient description of the environment also sets off the atmosphere, making the description of the storyline closer to life. [Highlight 2] As a member of the past who was reborn, I borrowed a sentence from a book friend's comment: to fill up the regrets of the past, and to make the cherished people live a better life. [Highlight 3] The plot of the story is described in detail. For the part of solving Sika's problem, from the initial design, to finding someone to execute it, to the final finishing work, the concept is wonderful, the description is intuitive, and the protagonist's momentum is vividly expressed from the perspective of others. Although this writing method is simple, it gives readers a strong sense of involvement. [Highlight 4] The author has made great efforts to switch different perspectives. It is not a single perspective from beginning to end. The change of multiple perspectives allows readers to experience different views of the same thing from different angles. The switching of perspectives is also very smooth, without a fragmented experience. [Plot Guess] [Guess 1] Although you will not follow the old path of photography in your previous life in your rebirth, will you continue to make achievements in photography? If you don't continue to develop in photography, what else can you do? Do you want to make a living by having a handsome face like most book friends, or is there another way out? [Guess 2] You are currently making up for the regrets of your previous life. What methods are you using to help? As a Crown fan, it's very much like knowing whether the protagonist will also help Crown solve the crisis in the future. [Guess 3] As a time traveler, can you give the works that will be popular in later generations to the corresponding people in advance? How big of an impact will this butterfly effect have? Or will Taozi, who has experienced different worlds, and Yoona, who has experienced two lives, produce new works? [Reason for Recommendation] This is a slow-burning daily Korean entertainment article. The characters are very delicately crafted from image to emotion. The use of multi-perspective narrative techniques can show different psychological activities, adding a different color to the story. It must be mentioned that the author has very good control over women's emotions and psychology. I thought the author was an emotional scumbag (crossed out) and a warm-hearted man with a delicate mind. In addition, the comments from Shadiao netizens also add a lot of joy to the book. If you like Korean entertainment and want to have a sweet love with your idol, don't miss this book.
After seeing 150 photos, I really regretted booking all of them. It's all pulling. The start is amazing. The back pulls for water.
Read Chapter 505 Win it in one year in the book (2013-2014) Yoona, Taeyeon, Sika, Soojung, Eunjung, Hyomin (one in two months) Can be won at any time Of: Tao Zi, Han So Hee Prepared: Ji Yeon, Taeyang, Bi Suzy Possible: Bae Joo Hyun, Kim Se Jung, Ju Ri Asset resources: Bring your own small treasury for university students? Yoona's bank card? Hong Kong leather bag company? Stock trading for a year? Two elders in the family: Retired screenwriter? Director or cinematographer? The brother who only appeared in Chapter 500? The rationality of adopting a girl The only bond between YoonA's twins, a support before rebirth: ✓Complete understanding Taeyeon: Massage breast expansion (Taeyeon may know to keep Sika and keep SNSD?)??? I don't understand at all In order to expand her breasts + Yoona's permission + personal charm → she just devoted herself to sharing her teammates' boyfriend? Sika: Kicked Quan away, the protagonist helped to keep Sika from going astray ✓General understanding It feels like God's perspective can see the help of the male protagonist, but from Sika's perspective, he does not know that it was the male protagonist's help in exposing Quan Ningyi. What he knows is that the male protagonist helped persuade the Japanese firm, and his usual plans for the future. This feeling of help comes from the possibility of giving oneself to each other 6 4 open Xiujing: I helped get the supporting role of the heir + personal charm (knowing about Taozi and Han Suxi), but you still go up to it even though you know that Sika + Yoona have already sacrificed their lives? Because of stubbornness? I took a trip to Japan, played some tennis, and had a lot of fun communicating in the photo studio? ??? It's hard to understand The plot of tara (Eun-jung: neighbor buff-companion; Hyo-min: get back the small movie) + Taozi (companion + guidance) + Han So-hee (give a job when she is down + support for college) is agreeable But what are Taeyeon and Sika from SNSD and Soo-jung from fx??? With no assets, no interests tied up, no true love in times of need, no companionship, you can win these three within one year??? It is unreasonable for 3 out of 6 people to have fallen asleep. It is really incomprehensible. Furthermore, the assets and career line of the male protagonist are very obscure (even the readers and Yoona only know a little about it). The World Cup has not been written yet, nor how does he usually get the money. He only mentioned a few words to Yoona, "Oh, do you think your man has spent this year?" Are you just trying to fool around with women?" It wasn't until chapter 500 that it was revealed that the male protagonist has a good family background (one of my brothers is from the LV Asia-Pacific region). It was mentioned before the rebirth that the male protagonist can travel around the world, so his family is unusual. It feels more like a patch later. Pushing the timeline to the end of the World Cup gambling and collecting so much is still barely reasonable Companionship (helping in times of need) + personal charm + interest bundling + social status
About the protagonist's lucky buff
The protagonist is reborn with a lucky buff. To a certain extent, it makes no sense to bring TT when he is in ML, because luck can ignore the probability, as long as the buff works all the time 😃
Really, this is the first time I read an entertainment novel with an offline heroine. After the protagonist and Yoona break through that relationship, the relationship line changes. From the mutual affection between the two, the hero starts to linger in the flowers of Korean entertainment. The heroine becomes an "obstacle" at this time. In order to facilitate the protagonist to sow seeds everywhere, the heroine has to start filming in one group after another and stay offline for a long time.
I beg you not to start a harem. I started pursuing you because I liked the first few chapters you wrote. If you want to start a harem, it would be pointless.
That's not the case. If the new book has good results, it will be discontinued here. Then how can I dare to read your new book? Your score on this book isn't that bad either.
Writing entertainment novels, especially Korean entertainment novels, without opening up a harem is just like the time when the monkey used the immobilization technique to immobilize the seven fairies in the peach garden, and then went on to eat the peaches.
In the beginning, Teacher Lin and Yoona's life-and-death double time travel feels like two people in two lives. The subsequent encounter and ambiguity, the pull between them is absolutely classic. The car crash leads to the peach line, and the two change history to make up for their regrets. The peach is like a daughter (no evil intention, compare the two people who have lived for more than 50 years in two lives), Eun-jeong's neighbor setting It's okay, even if it's not a single heroine, it's not too abrupt to add these two characters, a companion who can make up for regrets, and a relationship that is constantly in contact with in life. However, Taeyeon accidentally entered the game overnight abroad, and the taste has changed. If we stop here, a big heroine, Yoona, a pair of two people, plus the interaction of the other three people, is enough to hold up the whole world. As a result, not only Taeyeon, but also Sika, the president, Hyomin, Jiyeon and others continued to fall into the trap, and the article changed completely, and it no longer had the same feeling as before.
