Top Korean Entertainment Fiction Picks
Fanfiction: Anime, K-Pop, and Chinese Entertainment
The older I get, the lazier I become. Ever since I started reading fan fiction a few years ago, I've loved stories that come with their own established worlds. With new books, you have to learn the setting from scratch, and it's too much work. This list is mostly fan fiction I've read, including anime worlds, the Korean entertainment industry, and our own Chinese entertainment scene. That's it.
IU, One Female Lead
There are so few single-love-interest novels with an IU heroine on Qidian, so I made a list for Sister Li.
Korean Entertainment: Multiple or Single Love Interests
These are all books I personally think are pretty good.

Korean Entertainment Reading List (Personal Favorites)
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.

I really can't help but point out a few flaws.
First, the protagonist is supposed to be a worldly-wise person who's worked as an extra for three years and become quite worldly-wise. After transmigrating, he has no memories of his previous life because he's North Korean, but he can still read Korean, which is fine.
I've finished reading the entire book. Here are a few things to prepare mentally before reading it.
1. The protagonist is described as a transmigrator in name only (not mentioning any wealth information he remembers; he claims to have been an extra in the entertainment industry in his previous life, but he has no recollection of any wildly popular national dramas, making his transmigration seem pointless, lacking any information gap.
A Korean entertainment novel that scores 50 out of 100 is a poor imitation; it's a case of false advertising.
I'm still testing the waters and almost finished watching the latest episodes. It's a blatant rip-off; IU barely gets any screen time. The plot revolves around a time traveler who immediately experiences a toxic conflict with their family, but there's no real time travel involved.

It's great, I love watching it, keep it up!
This is the only K-pop novel I can actually read. Others have at most fifty chapters because they lack a career development plot; it's all about romance, nothing but romance. It seems like they can't do anything else besides romance. The male lead is just an ordinary person with no background.
Having read 116 chapters, I feel it would have been better if the protagonist were a native being. Over a hundred chapters have passed, and there's been no indication of a transmigrator's precognition; he seems completely unaware. Since he knows nothing, it would have been better if he were just a native being, with natural acting skills provided by God.
The pacing is too slow; the filming and broadcasting of the TV series are described in too much detail. It's already at chapter 100 and they're still writing about 1988. The issue with the second female lead is that you either need multiple female leads or a single female lead. Writing about Kim Ah-young first and then their breakup, claiming it's a transition, makes it difficult for readers to connect with the story. The sweeter the story, the more awkward it feels for readers.

If you don't know history, don't use the time travel trope. If you don't want to change Sherry's ending, don't mention it in the beginning. Two phone calls didn't go through, and then they pre-emptively brought up the original suicide at the end. What does that mean?
Is the Korean wave really that serious? The main character exudes a subservient Korean vibe.
