I think this series is suitable for those who are interested in C-biz. There are a lot slangs and dramas relating to the industry such as buying Hot search, Fandom, shipping couples, etc. It’s also very pleasant to the eyes because the female lead and male lead are very good-looking. What’s more, it has a very intriguing beginning with some mysteries waiting to be unfolded.

However, I couldn’t keep watching the show because of the following reasons.

* DRAGGY PLOT
It’s so dragging. I had to fast-forward so many irrelevant conversations.

** TROPY SCENES
I was so fed up with all the staring-to-each-other-for-uncomfortably-long-time and falling-into-each-other-arms scenes!

*** ILLOGICAL SET-UP
I could only list a couple of things that got on my nerves:
The female lead always appeared with perfectly make-ups and hairs every time she fainted, woke up, went to bed, etc. Wouldn’t it be harmful to the skin?
It only took the female lead 1 extra course to get decent acting skill. Was it just me or acting is that easy to learn?
The male lead was a normal paparazzi but somehow he’s much more handsome than the super idol supporting male lead. How come he hasn’t been head-hunted by the star-manager?

**** SKIN-SMOOTHING FILTER
I don’t think I need to talk more about this problem.

***** ACTING
So the acting was not super terrible. The female lead was OK as the bad-ass big sister but she couldn’t pull off the soft little sister role – aka the main role. The male lead doesn’t leave me any impression except for his look.

In short, it’s not the worst Web drama I’ve seen but I don’t have enough patience to continue with it while there are soo many things else to follow.
