I get what you're saying... it kinda makes sense cuz she fell for the persona and not the "real him"... and it kinda sucks.
It would be one thing if he slowly merged the two personas because sometimes (especially in the comic) his real persona seems like.. a dumb clown... like... exageratedly comedic to create contrast...
I think author chose Miley to give him more of a global status actor and to serve as a stepping stone for global fame for him... because I agree that they don't match at all. Honestly I'm not that fond of Hwalin... but even her would be a better match. I still hope neither will be end game and he'll meet someone better suited for him... and also that they'll find a better way to deal with his personality and behavior issue than just an "Aha! I was lying! I'm actually a clown and not serious at all teehee!" And he suddenly switching and everyone just accepting it.
Exactly! This is beautifully explained. I can understand the intentions of the author but I feel that it could have been better if instead of making cliché situation that act as a stepping stone, but it's not irritable, I just think that some situation had potential that wasn't well exploited.
Anyway I was hoping that this one was romance free, and that the author gives us more scenes on the work that woojin starred in. Because at some point it feels like the plot is going everywhere (I'm referring to the scene where Woojin choose a low tier project just so he could have culinary skills, and the author wanting to explore this field after Woojin conquered the music field too)
First thing first, I love this work because it's f**king interesting. I love misunderstandings and acting as the main theme so I spent countless sleepless nights reading the novel. I can say that the vivid description and the comedy happening retain your attention.
I have read up to 400 chapters until the very recently released chapter of the novel currently so I wont spoil much and say what really irk me.
But (Spoilers ahead)
For the romance part: I know why the author wants to add romance, and I appreciate that there is romance. But, the love interest is the problem. Miley Cara is the problem. SHE IS F**KING HEARTLESS! She's cold, annoying and doesn't fit with Woojin. When Woojin made up his mind and muttered the courage to reveal his true self, she brushed it off as nonsense, and when he revealed it to the public in his speech, she said that he's acting (she even say that his smile resembles Joker! Seriously I hate her so much). No girlfriend acts like that, I swear. So the MC aka Woojin spent a long time putting up his persona to the public (except for his family and friends). (I particularly like Hwalin, but the author says no : (
Another thing is that I don't like how MC's real personality just gets to be illustrated less and less, while the author focuses more on his persona.
And, even I do believe that the romance part was unnecessary.
What I really appreciated was what makes MC's life full, not lacking any elements: reputation, richness, comedy; unfortunately the romance just has to ruin his sense of self and desire to be understood and express himself.
Also the author makes him to be a person who got divine blessing with his system but lack the most basic right out there as a person. (in my opinion)
