Synopsis

In this simmering, joyous novel, I’ll Be the One author Lyla Lee delivers a tender romance set between two brave teens who decide that when the script isn’t working, it’s time to rewrite it themselves. The first rule of watching K-dramas: Never fall in love with the second lead. As an avid watcher of K-dramas, Hana knows all the tropes to avoid when she finally lands a starring role in a buzzy new drama. And she can totally handle her fake co-star boyfriend, heartthrob Bryan Yoon, who might be falling in love with her. After all, she promised the TV producers a contract romance, and that’s all they’re going to get from her.But when showrunners bring on a new lead actress to challenge Hana’s role as main love interest—and worse, it’s someone Hana knows all too well—can Hana fight for her position on the show, while falling for her on-screen rival in real life?

Alright, this one was very sweet, but also... lacklustre. Part of the fault is definitely on me, who entered the book hoping we'd have more drama and depth, that the story would brew some tearful stuff and feel more inspiring, become some one of a kind YA, you know? I'm not stating it won't be any o......more

3.5 - I’m so happy that we got another queer YA book set in the Korean entertainment industry from Lyla Lee! I really enjoyed I'll Be the One, so I was super excited to see what she’d bring to a YA book about K-dramas.
