Seoul in Those Days

I hope Bai Shan's new book won't be like her previous one, "From That Korean City." The beginning of the story, where Teacher Lin and Yoona are on the verge of life and death and travel through time together, gives a feeling of two lifetimes and one love. It's a stunning opening.

This initial setup is a bit outrageous; is it trying to filter the audience? 🙂

This start is a bit risky 😰 It might be poisonous.

I just hope the male lead in the new book doesn't turn into a teddy bear like he did in the later part of the last one. The beginning of the last book was really amazing, and it was captivating until the middle, but it just fell apart in the end. The male lead suddenly became a teddy bear, and I lost all motivation to continue reading it. I'm just waiting for the ending. I really hope the new book won't be like that.

There aren't many people still sticking with second-generation idols; now many are writing about fourth and fifth-generation idols.

Can't you write a clean rebirth story? You can't write without some weird premise.

The initial setup was too restrictive for the reader; it's hard to imagine that such a premise still exists 24 years later. Because of this setup, the later parts felt completely like a stand-in story. 🙂

You seemed to favor Girls' Generation in your first two books, but this one shows a slight preference for Crown!

I've decided to follow T-ara because of them; there really aren't many books about T-ara anymore.
