It really Captures - how life of an K-POP Idol is.

This Manhwa shows how a K-pop idol's life is. The story is so relatable and realistic that highlight what idols are going through.

The Character development is on point. ML turns over the leaf very quickly and the way he supports FL through is Chef's Kiss. FL seems timid occasionally because of her childhood, but she is steadfast and surprisingly quick-witted.

Also, this Manhwa starts from their teens and moves on to their married lives. Almost all Characters are Well-developed.

The story was quite good, but it's too long.

At the beginning, I'm not really interested to read this. But I found out that the story is quite enjoyable. I'm not even a fan of idol-themed stories, but I read this until the end.

The only thing that actually disturbed me is, even though it's enjoyable, I don't really like the long-running series. 50+ Special episodes, 4 special epilogues, and turns out now there's even a season 0? Considering there are 224+ chapters now, I have a feeling that this series might be quite popular, not to mention that it's already adapted to KDrama. But a series needs a proper ending. Not too much, not too less. I love Ryuk and Maha's love stories, and even other Tea Party's member love stories.

The special episodes mostly speak about Ryuk's and Maha's marriage life, and even their children's careers. At the beginning, I was quite interested on how they communicate with each other about how to raise children, whether they should have children or not.. How they take turns on raising kids together. This series also represent people who choose not to get married or decided not to have children. But after 20+ Special Epispdes after the end of this series, I feel tired reading this.

I think it's because even if the story is still charming, I feel like the story isn't about Maha and Ryuk anymore, and I'm not that interested on how rich celebs family going through their daily life or early retirement.

It's still good to read, and even if I don't like the 200+ chapters, I think it's still worth to read. I just hope that it will end soon. There are too much additional episodes/season here..

Sweet and nice characters

This is so swee, innocent, comical and satisfying. I could not stop laughinf out loud so many times.
Its about idol worlds, so might not be the most original webtoon, but handles it in a really interesting way.
The characters are all so likeable and interesting. Maha, the main character, isn't perfect, she makes constant mistakes like imitating Lima, and accepts it withouth trying to make up an excuse. She seems innocent but isn't a dummy, shows being so strong, and want's to be independent. I absolutely like her.
The character desing is so nice and sweet, complimenting the story.

The story, so far, only has three mistakes to me, and I could just forget them and enjoy the story:

1. When the male lead kisses Maha: Totally out of place. You could think its fine, since we all now since chapter one that they're gonna end up together. But, it gives the wrong message. Kiss or do other stuff to other people whithout their consent (I mean, in a selfish way) is NOT alright.
2. When they give importance to Maha or her friend not having date before. Typical situations male got experience - girl is clueless.
3. That cringy line that every dumb male says when they are together like "we shouldn't do this again. I might not be able to contain myself." Like, no, honey. Sorry, but that's not romantic.
