The Top Couple Is a Bit Sweet

Wow... I must admit that I'm rather late in reviewing this compared to others on ATP, and I actually finished the novel a few weeks ago. I'm unsure what prompted me to write this review at such an unusual hour, but here's my take.

This webnovel, I confess, I might be a bit biased. It's undeniably well-written, with an engaging plot and lovable characters. However, what initially captivated me wasn't the plot or characters but the tropes themselves – arranged marriage, second chance, childhood friends, and the entertainment industry – oh, count me in! Regardless, the novel holds several of my favorite themes, which is why it still lingers in my mind.

The overall tone and premise have a subtle sentimental touch, but in a positive way. The characters develop gradually, allowing readers to connect with their authenticity. The author skillfully weaves emotions and actions into the story, immersing the reader deep within its world.

The main characters, the male lead (ML) and female lead (FL), form an intriguing dynamic. They're an unlikely pair, with limited contact over two years and contrasting personalities. Despite this, their connection is driven by unspoken longing.

Our FL is anything but your typical sunshine character; she's dramatic, passionate, and hiding vulnerability beneath her bold exterior. The ML, on the other hand, embodies quiet gentleness. He supports her through tough times without expecting anything in return, embodying a gentle love that tugs at the reader's heartstrings.

As @solivagantso mentioned, "I can't help but fall for this, and it's seriously underappreciated." I wholeheartedly agree. This webnovel, from the MCs' introduction to the entertaining storyline, offers a rewarding read. Despite its underrated status, it possesses the potential to gain immense popularity. Don't miss out on the gorgeous manga-style illustrations!

At its core, this story revolves around two imperfect individuals healing each other and growing together through silent longing. It's not heavy, but rather a heartwarming tale. So, give it a try – I promise, it's light-hearted and uplifting, not a downer! Enjoy, and kiss for me 💋!

Now that I've finished reading it, I'm left feeling an immense void, craving for more depth. I struggle to find adequate words to express just how much I adore the story, the main characters' love (ML) and their relationship (FL). A point brought up about the FL's manager resonated with me – their handling of the situation involving the antagonist and the FL was truly disappointing. I understand that this plot twist was crucial for the progression of the marriage, but it still left me disheartened by the manager's decision not to expose the truth, which inadvertently cast a shadow of guilt on the FL.

The story was unexpectedly delightful! Despite a few underdeveloped conclusion chapters, I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and found myself smiling throughout. I appreciated how the characters evolved and became more complex. This novel truly captures the essence of a heartwarming romantic comedy in the entertainment industry! The translation was top-notch as well. Thank you so much! [Overall rating: 4.5]

Initially, I chose to read the novel after reading the manga because of its shorter chapters. The storyline is adorable, and I really enjoy both the female lead (FL) and male lead (ML). If it were to be adapted into a drama, I would definitely watch it.

Really? I'll continue reading it some other time then.

Yeah... I agree with you, he is evil but in my opinion the author didn't really gave much of a valid reason.. It's okay for him to be cold and indifferent towards humanity for what he had gone through, but it didn't made sense why he was even cold to his friends which helped him, actually he should have been more considerate towards personal relationships since there were his master and his mother who literally exchanged their lives for his.

I would rate this novel 4.5 stars. Prior to diving into it, I had read its manga adaptation, which was charming, by the way – the artwork is stunning and highly recommended. Reading the novel provided additional depth, as there were many details left out in the manga. The story was filled with delightful fluff that kept me engaged until 3 AM, chapter after chapter. Although it lacked a strong plot, the cuteness factor was off the charts. However, towards the end, it leaned a bit too much into cheesiness. Nevertheless, overall, it's a heartwarming and lighthearted read.

I see you everywhere
