City of Storms
A Life in Seclusion Among the People Bai Juyi, Tang Dynasty The great recluse lives in the imperial court or the city; the lesser recluse retreats to the hills and fields. But the hills and fields are too desolate, while the city is too noisy. Better to be a recluse in between, a low-ranking official left behind in the capital. As if departing, yet still present; neither busy nor idle. No need to exhaust heart or strength, yet free from hunger and cold. No official duties all year round,

My 2024 Reading List
I've subscribed to all the books on this list, and they seem pretty good.

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.
A Simple List of Recommendations
A mixed bag. If there’s something crap, I’ll post it to warn you away.
Mostly Korean Entertainment
Mostly just keeping track of the K-pop novels I’ve read. It’s mainly for my own reference, in case I clear out my bookshelf in a hurry.
Quality Reads of Every Kind, Old and New!
I’ve been reading for twenty years, and after so many books, very few have stayed with me. This list collects distinctive, representative works from different genres, along with promising new books. I don’t have time to write detailed reviews, but I’ll add them gradually. I only include ongoing serials and new releases, not completed works. These are purely my personal opinions. I hope they’re useful, and thanks for reading.

Korean Entertainment, Updated Whenever
Sharing
Entertainment Novels [Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and American]
Entertainment-industry novels I'm reading, including Korean, Chinese, and American entertainment fiction. P.S. I originally only posted Korean entertainment novels, but I read a bit of everything. There aren't enough Korean entertainment novels coming out around the same time, so I'm putting them all together.
My Personal Opinions
This is just my personal opinion. You don't have to agree with me.

Waiting for the Right Reader
As an old-timer, I've read plenty of books over the years. Here are some I thought were pretty good, to share with everyone.
The Peninsula, Lap Pillows, and Chaebols
Korean entertainment and Korean chaebols Only recommending books I've read I'll get to the ones I haven't read in time I'm a fan of girl groups from the Museum family and old-school actors So most of my recommendations feature Museum girl groups and old-school actors (Updates have been slow lately because I'm short on time)
Korean Entertainment, Mainly Girls' Generation: Taeyeon and Jessica
Thanks for sending flowers, but there's no need. They just look nice; there are no rewards. _(:з)∠)_ First, a word about the real-life events involving these Korean entertainment celebrities: they often affect the works. I don't know if I'm unusual, but I've always liked the characters in the stories themselves, as if they were fanfiction about real-life events! So I've never really understood the intense feelings fans have. I don't know if this latest news will affect the few novels I'm follow
Only Korean Entertainment Novels with Writing I Still Enjoy!
Several Korean entertainment novels with good writing that I'm following, along with a few completed ones that I highly recommend. Most of the female leads are members of Girls' Generation or Krystal Jung! P.S. New recommendations will be added from time to time.
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!

Jessica Jung
Now it's Jessica Jung. Compared to the current you, I miss the old her more—the trendsetting fashion darling who stood at the top of K-pop, the princess of the music industry 👸. I, Jessica Jung, stride forward! Everything is just beginning!
It's a big improvement compared to the previous one.
There's a noticeable difference, especially compared to rebirth. Having a sustainable cheat code is important, since it means being able to hold your own against various female characters, after all, we're all just ordinary people. However, this "golden finger" doesn't seem particularly unbalanced; it's also given a certain restriction, making the protagonist appear to be in a semi-dependent…
Wow, wow, I haven't seen such a relatable Korean entertainment article in ages!
The writing style is very comfortable to read, as if it were a real story. Everyone has their own thoughts and logic, and the writing is neither abrupt nor illogical. Even the coincidences are within reasonable limits, which is fantastic.

The author should absolutely not write about Lee Ji-eun. The fact that she could still hang out with Kim Soo-hyun after Choi Sulli's scandal shows how fake she is. Having known Kim Soo-hyun for over ten years, it's impossible for her not to know his true character. Frankly, it's just a superficial friendship. Jun Ji-hyun only worked with him on one project and knew what kind of person he was.
This writing style, this female lead, this protagonist surnamed Lin, and this Guangdong IP address—is it Bai Shan?
This book is damned
I haven't read any K-pop novels in ages, but this book has forced me to rummage through countless books again, and in the end, it's still this one. It's simply not enough! 😭😭😭
