(1) The first one would have to be his short scene with his former boyfriend. He played as a Japanese character and it made me feel excited and tense when he pressured the guy during his acting. It kind of reminded me of Skip Beat because of the way the author wrote it.
(2) The other one would be the immortal character. The way he switched from youthful to vengeful was really great for me.
(3) Bo Ying was really sad. It made me tear up a bit at the end and I'm glad the author made this the last one in the story. It made more impact for the MC and ML's relationship in front of the audience.
I would've liked the Cat movie they filmed if they showed more scenes about it. I liked how the author wrote the story and how the MC found his inspiration for acting but I wish it could've been written longer.
[collapse]Characters:Spoiler(1) Out of all the characters, Yang Yu is probably my favorite. Odd, yes. But in my opinion, he's just doing his best as the MC's agent and despite MC's knowledge about the future, Yang Yu often shows the MC that he knows how to do his job.
They're not friends but they acknowledge and respect each other's strengths.
(2) I have to admit that the ML is really likeable. Most danmei and even BG novels have cold and domineering CEO type of ML and it just feels boring to me. The ML in this novel is warm and understanding. He tries to help when asked but he trusts the MC to be able to lift himself out of trouble.
(3) Oddly, I like Ji Chen. Or rather, how he was written. Honestly, if he is a character in another entertainment novel minus the scumbag moments when he tried to kill the MC in their past life or how he tried to use his "girlfriends" in the MC's second life, Ji Chen would've been a great ML. I can actually see it if he's written properly.
The tension they had during the first scene they played together was really great. It caught my attention more than his first interaction with the ML. I would've liked more MLs who are arrogant but got stunned (whipped) by the MC's skills/talent instead of the usual cold or overbearing ones I see in other novels.
I still like how really aggravating he is but is also just a person who is a product of pride and greed (and family drama).
But of course, this is a novel about healing and nothing can erase the MC's trauma that he experienced in his former life because of this man.
(4) Meng Churong was also written well. Her emotions from the moment she was introduced until the moment she lost the girl who loves her because of her inaction and greed, were all written well.
She's okay and I would've wanted to see more of her as well.
If Meng Churong (and Ji Chen) wasn't so vindictive and malicious because of her jealousy, I would've sympathize with her more. But near the end, I just pity her and her position because of her family and Ji Chen.
(5) Cao Qiyue doesn't appear a lot but when she does, she's really cool. She's casual about her anti-fans and is really serious about music. I'm really glad the author added these two women to the story. Danmei novels usually have little to no women in the story and without Cao Qiyue, this novel would've been less interesting.
Her friendship with the MC is really sweet and I'm happy they have each other to rely on.
[collapse]So yeah, it's okay. It's not bad but it's not the best. The romance is okay and done alright (if you know how the ML fell in love with him). There are face-slapping moments but it's mostly because of their own actions rather than the MC.
