Korean Entertainment and Other Books I Like
Emmm, I originally wanted to make a list devoted to K-pop novels, but they’re a bit too similar, and K-pop stories often get dropped. So I’ll also include other books I think are good.

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.
Hy’s Korean Entertainment Novels, 2022–2025
Mostly stories about second-generation heirs. I try to avoid harem-collector protagonists. I'll mark all ongoing books, so please give them a follow if you can. Korean entertainment stories are hard to come by, so let's treasure them while we can!

You can be clumsy, but you can't be stupid!
The protagonist is truly hypocritical. The author wanted to create a pure and innocent character, but it's also a multi-female lead setup. The protagonist is like a complete idiot, not at all like a stupid character. I've read dozens of chapters and he's clearly a combination of stupidity and idiocy! The character is incredibly contradictory.
Books like this should have appeared a long time ago. There are many good Korean dramas and films, but authors on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) tend to focus on girl groups when writing about Korean entertainment, which gets boring with the same people over and over again. There are very few books about actors or directors in the Korean entertainment industry.
Could we add Kim Ji-won as the female lead? She's so cute!
Seeing the protagonist constantly switching between Lee Sung-kyung and Krystal made it hard to continue reading. While the author's writing is quite detailed and well-written, the main character's crucial personality is weak. Korean entertainment novels often feature harems and multiple romantic relationships, which is what people enjoy reading.
The further I watched, the more painful it became for me. The male lead was a bit naive at the beginning, but he had a stubborn streak, which is the soul of what makes him a good actor and a distinctive feature that sets him apart from other male leads in Korean entertainment. But the further he went, the more he became afraid of everything, from women to the government.
Currently following K-pop dramas: Dr. Liang on the Peninsula (female leads: Baekhyun, Yoona, Sulli), Peninsula: Just a dream, are you serious? (Female leads: Taeyeon (reincarnated), Jessica, Yoona (male lead's girlfriend in her previous life, also reincarnated, later than Taeyeon), Krystal, Sulli), Peninsula: From Extra to Chungmuro Film Emperor (female leads: Yoona, Suzy, Lee Sung-kyung…
Congratulations to Xiao Ai on the release of her new book!!!
💕Female Leads: Im Yoon-ah, Bae Suzy, Lee Sung-kyung ❤️ Genre: Entertainment Stars 💛Tags: [Chinese Entertainment] [Korean Entertainment] 💚Synopsis: The male lead, Kang Jae-hoon, is Hwang Jung-min's protégé. Lee Sung-kyung is his roommate and also a bickering couple.
Dude, the book you wrote is disgusting.
The male lead's personality is a flaw; otherwise, the book would have been much better. I don't know how the author managed to balance out the harem aspect of a male lead with this kind of personality later on. Experienced readers, please share your thoughts.
I don't like the Bible. If you're going to be arrogant, just be a loser. Everyone else is fighting and grabbing, so they should win. I get annoyed by arrogance.
