I’m mad at myself for taking so long to read this

Back in my reading child actors phase, I put this story aside because I was content with the high from the other stories. Well, I was so wrong, because those stories are childish fantasies compared to this, which is PEAK.

I liked that his main goal was to make his mom happy because he regretted being ashamed of his upbringing, only to be pulled back into the world of acting and sort of re-live his past experiences through acting, while also building up relationships with others and figuring out himself.

Even though it’s not directly said outright of how MC regressed to the past, I believe in the theory that his dad had something to do with it, hinting back in chapter 2. The way his backstory unfolds is just so good.

The realism made me reflect on my own life, and how I was kinda like MC - but the thing is that I feel justified because while I was a little shit, my mom’s a controlling narc, so… but the point is that I don’t want to let her go full of regrets like MC, even though I know that I can never be as good as him, let alone be good enough for her lmao

Romance is not the main focus! It only happens at the end, and it doesn’t really affect the story, but here’s my take on it: do you really expect MC to go cougar hunting? Introduce his mom to someone her age? HUH??

Besides the fact that this is a fictional story, but factually speaking, he didn’t even have anyone in his past life, seeing as his craze for acting made him an ass and pushed everyone away, so as far as I’m concerned he’s a newb with his own feelings for romance so it’s fine. Just let him have this, if only to ease his mother’s worries that someone will take care of him. (Unless you wanted him to end up with his rival/friend, which I can respect haha)

He wasn’t even interested in her when they first met. Only after she confessed to him to get over her feelings, did he chase after her when he realized the impact she had on his life. Sure, it was just 2 moments, but they were crucial supportive times AND it was better than Solo Leveling. Plus I’m a sucker for childhood friends to lovers, so I knew it from the moment he improvised the shoelace line lol

Speaking of, ch 133 was such bait. I was hoping for the director and the writer to get together, because they were so will- they, won’t they coded.

Outlaw was a reference to “For the Musical Genius” lol

Finally, we never got to see MC graduate, so idk if he actually got his degree in law or not…but he seems almost too perfect so maybe that’s for the best xD
