    People here were disappointed about the drama, just a heads up.

    I believe that the biggest reason why it was disappointing is that it inverted the genders of the characters. Girl group becomes boy band.

    There's no witty male MC there.
    No Lee Songha. No Neptune. It's not even a battle royale between artists.
    No nice-to-face-slap Son Chaeyoung
    In short, aside from seeing the prediction in the first episode, there's no more notable prediction ability scene
    It probably becomes a harem. XD
    And only ASTRO's member there is an eye-candy hahaha

    I don't know haha.
    I don't even understand what happened and why author allowed them to butcher his story. I'm telling you, the MC having a not-so-useful precognition ability and the scenes happening in the entertainment industry are the only similarities with the novel. I only persisted up to episode 2 or 3 due to the eye-candy Astro member hahahaha. But then, I gave up because I don't get/see the 'top management' there. Even if we say there's still a story in this adaptation, it strayed so fffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr from the novel which is so hateful

    $$$ Probably. The novel's on indefinite hiatus anyway so he might not care that much about it

    Under the novelupdates page you can usually just check the 'status in COO' section. Helpful to know total chapters, whether it's ongoing, ended or etc.
    Anyway I can't read the raws so I can't say for sure 219 isn't just the last chapter, but author posted hasn't posted anything further since 2017.

    Male MC => Female MC
    Nothing else but that don't make me want to watch it because of how different it will be with the novel.

    Lols, look at the ratings and views and you'll see how miserable it turned out, their fault for not following the novel's plot closely. I don't even get why they have to change the MC into a girl, gosh

    It’s so they could lure female viewers with the attractive boy version of neptune. I’m not saying I wouldn’t watch it for Cha Eunwoo but...

    Er, I'm into stuff like Genius of the Performing arts high, Reincarnator, I Am The Monarch... And quick transmigration series with male MCs like Boss Level Face Slapping Specialist, Scum Male Whitewashing Manual, and Bad Guy's Collapse xD

    The QT series are the ones with romance. It's quite enjoyable to read them in a guy's perspective
