it's kinda funny how MC is like, lowkey pathetic and unlikeable and overall has a sense of entitlement for other peoples' time and attention, but at least he's not a bad person and is morally decent at times. like him being selfish with an insane lack of social adjustment skills due to a combination of being a child star and a lock-in who was mentally destroyed by media for 5 years kinda hits hard for this plot. like at first i could not understand how he wasted his second chance at least online gambling or using the 2nd free trial's hint in a way that gained no losses annoyed me, but then i was like "dude lives in fear of society, no wonder he doesn't want to do some youtube predicting the future video for views"
wait yall im only on ch4 but can someone spoil to me how involved jinsoo is gonna be? i LOVE him so far and i saw a top comment where someone was concerned he'd end up being the supportive friend who ended up swayed by jealousy, and im so worried that if that does happen, he'd be ditched rather than understood by MC. bc i love him and i need to mentally prep myself if that's true LOL
I'm done reading the novel. Jinsu will going to be like a Foster son to Halo/Haeil's parents, since Haeil's father decde to tutor jinsu and his mother prepares foods for him as well even if Haeil was not at their family house. Haeil told jinsu he's welcome to stop by their house whenever after he saw how jinsu's living arrangement was like. There's no rivalry in this story, mostly it's like finding out who Halo was and music. In special chapter Jinsu will be part of Halo's label as an artist/composer as well
read up to ch4 and honestly i think the characters are refreshing. and i like how they introduce a cast from the start. but i just can't get into it? like smth in the mc feels lacking. like girlie u died from a heart attack, your entire legacy and work was being stolen with your name blacklisted from the media world, and you woke up 20 years in the past and had ZERO reaction to all that? like, you're not even a BIT mad? can't spare a single thought? also you went 20 yeras in the past and met up with old friends and didn't have any emotional response? like zero tears, zero nostalgic reminiscient, zero regrets? like girl just barrels forward and treats all her old and current relationships so transactionally. like girlie has nothing in her life, past or present, that emotionally ties her down to the world.
bruh the baby is lowkey psyching me out. like honestly i can't imagine deflecting holy power to be that big of a moral/social issue (probably just physical, maybe), esp when her parents are rich/powerful enough that she'll live physically well regardless of constitution, it's just the way they ended that shit with "oh i'm sure it'll be fine" that sounded so ominous like HUH
religious trauma but in the form of a skit comedy
