what a corny plot, sign me up.

that being said, there was a section where i found kang taemoo absolutely repulsive despite his oh so hot visuals. however, this kind of manhwa should be read without any kind of critical thinking which is why i still came around to give it an overall rating of eight. shin hari's situation is very relatable and i could see why she went around the situation in the manner she did. second couple stole it for me. i adored how their story progressed and (debatable) could be better than the main leads.

ps.
chae suhjn please give me a chance.

overall a good read that may annoy you from time to time. compared to the negative comments about the fl (heewon) in the reviews, i sympathize with her and and understand how her past influenced many of her decisions in the story. ml (doojoon) is such a genuine character from start to finish. however, this might not be the best choice to read after daytime star.

spoilers ahead!

i didn't rate this anything below a seven because of how madly in love he is with heewon that it made me run laps inside my room. i like how he repeats to her how important she is to ... him and that she is always his number one priority. it's a cliche love at first sight. however, his choice of not punishing haein after her first offence and putting his foot down just because her dad was his high school teacher that eventually lead to haein harming heewon and byeori twice and the second time almost unaliving both her and the baby was something that made me frown. he mentions how he wants to take responsibility for the baby, but he basically forced himself in heewon's life, not thinking about her feelings or opinions about dating and marriage.

despite heewon having unlikeable characteristics like what a few readers have mentioned in the reviews, it makes sense (to me) why she's so afraid of love, marriage, having kids, etc.. the trauma she got from her biological parents before they divorced is something regular people like us can relate to and might have even experienced first hand. one prominent scene that stood out to me was six months after she gave birth to byeori and how she wanted to shoulder everything on top of already being sleep deprived, thinking it will make her a "good" mom because she vowed to not become like her biological mom, and eventually snapping at doojoon with byeori in her arms sent goosebumps down my spine. the reference was remarkable and shows how she wants to do better for her child and i admire her for that.

it was a cute, but a bit dramatic. pretty well-balanced.

This is a straightforward manhwa with no unnecessary drama or major plot twists. Slice of life and fluff to the max.
It puts a new meaning to what true love is. Hwang Yura’s character development was beautifully paced. Her slow rise to stardom was exhilarating to experience after reading what she’s been through and how she got to where she is now. Kang Seunghyun is mature, understanding, patient (debatable) throughout the story. If “she fell first, but he fell harder” was a manhwa, Daytime Star embodied it magnificently. If you stumble upon this manhwa and is on the fence of whether going for it or not, ... drop whatever you’re doing and just read it. Expect 10 years added in your lifespan by the end.
