I'm at chapter 43, and I'm really loving what sets this series apart from Debut or Die even though it's a similar premise. (Be aware that I love both series despite the following comparison.)
With Moondae, he is forced to become an idol, has an active system, is an unreliable narrator, and eventually comes to love what he does. But with Seohan, he gets the opportunity to redo a certain time of his life again, everything was his choice and within his abilities all the way through.
Another thing I find interesting about this series, although, it might have been tackled by other idol stories (time rewind or transmigration or not) is Seohan's relationship with his brother, and how he wants him to pursue other options and how he knows that it's not over even if he doesn't succeed. I'm a big fan of being able to see how characters' previous life experiences shape who they are in their current life (not unique to this story I know, it's just something I appreciate in general).
Note, that these differences between this story and Debut or Die, are not to criticise either story, but rather to highlight how fascinating these stories are at using a seemingly similar premise but executing it in vastly different ways.
