Synopsis
When Sua met Jung for the first time, it was the exact moment he realized he liked boys. Jung was his absolute idol—the famous founder and leader of the idol group Attack. Years later, determined to follow in his idol’s footsteps, Sua successfully climbs the ranks to become a star himself. However, his world is turned upside down when Jung unexpectedly steps out of the spotlight and becomes Sua's new personal manager.Terrified that his massive crush and true feelings will be exposed, Sua spirals into an anxious depression and completely refuses to work. To coax his stubborn star back into the studio, Jung begins working in incredibly close proximity to him. Sua agrees to continue his idol training on one condition: Jung must reward him for his hard work.
Why Should We Pick This Up?
- The "Idol x Manager" Dynamic: It takes the classic celebrity-manager trope and flips it on its head. Instead of a normal manager taking care of a star, it features a seasoned, legendary senior idol managing a junior idol who is totally starstruck by him.
-
- Delicious Tension and "Rewards": The high-stakes, secret-keeping aspect makes for amazing romantic angst. The transition from an anxious, depressed worker to a bold star demanding "rewards" creates great romantic pacing.
-
- Binge-Worthy Journey: Since the series concludes cleanly at exactly 117 chapters, you don't have to suffer through weekly cliffhangers or hiatuses—you can binge the entire character growth arc from start to finish
