There wasn't conclusion on how he should have starred as a lead in Grandpa Baek's movie. Intially I thought the munchkin plot of perfect csat and law school is built up for this, maybe the story is about law, so it was disappointing.
[collapse]SpoilerIt seems the writer struggled with the writing towards the middle, which is marked by using abrupt time jump or abrupt future interview of Kwak numerous times. It had a really good potential but this didn't make it to my masterpiece list, because it could've been much more. Of course, it's not like every novel in my masterpiece list is a perfect book. But it was pretty repetitive with how every incident happening and somehow MC needs to be the substitute. About the woman attracting magnet plot, well it was bad although not as much as some wuxia harem, but still awkward nonetheless. Why does everyone falls in love with him lol? I also feel like it was strange the MC suddenly become the most handsome man in universe after backstory of him having gangster face but a little more handsome. All in all towards the middle a lot of inconsistencies starts popping out.
[collapse]SpoilerI feel like the best thing about this novel is the part of The Confession of Priest, I would watch it if there's movie like that. Along with the movie To Jihwan. The writer did a nice job during these parts. Usually, that's the charm of novel centered in showbiz. Unfortunately aside from these two, his works doesn't sound that interesting, with one is ordinary school drama and one is fantasy merman and girl something. It wasn't that unique. His other work don't even get elaborated with the time skip so I can't say anything about it.
