There’s some pretty good reviews out here and I’m sure, considering the writing and plots and hints established so far, they actually are more realistic and faithful to this novel than mine, but I just can’t take this romance so I’m dropping this.In less than 20 (short!) chapters, MC and ML already went from “strangers and at most acquaintances” to “yes, I’m jealous of him and blush every time he’s near”, and although that can be handled well in most novels, it simply feels rushed and awkward to me and I can’t get over this. Plus, the fact ML completely disregards MC’s decision of quitting the entertainment industry and keeps pushing him again and again just doesn’t stick with me. If he wants to quit, then he must have his reasons right? Well, according to ML, no (which is frankly s*upid).Plus, somehow MC has two sides of a same personality, laidback and uninterested X obedient and shy, that swing back and forth like a pendulum whenever he’s with ML, which seriously gives me whiplash, and is never acknowledged anywhere. And ML’s characterization is not that solid either... 3 stars from delightful writing and the potential, the deducted stars are from character consistency and emotional construction being severely lacking.
