A very cute sapphic romance focusing on k-drama actors as they are thrust into their own k-drama. The premise was adorable, but I wish we'd gotten more time with Hana and Minjee throughout. We didn't really get to know either character, so I wasn't too invested in their love story. I loved having the vibrant setting of Seoul and little callbacks to I'll Be The One though. It was also a very important introduction to the LGBT culture in Korea and the associated societal norms. But basically I imagined a book about k-dramas to be more DRAMATIC. Audio was cute and short though!
