Beschreibung des Verlags
In this simmering, joyous novel, I’ll Be the One author Lyla Lee delivers a tender romance set between two brave teens who decide that when the script isn’t working, it’s time to rewrite it themselves.
The first rule of watching K-dramas: Never fall in love with the second lead.
As an avid watcher of K-dramas, Hana knows all the tropes to avoid when she finally lands a starring role in a buzzy new drama. And she can totally handle her fake co-star boyfriend, heartthrob Bryan Yoon, who might be falling in love with her. After all, she promised the TV producers a contract romance, and that’s all they’re going to get from her.
But when showrunners bring on a new lead actress to challenge Hana’s role as main love interest—and worse, it’s someone Hana knows all too well—can Hana fight for her position on the show, while falling for her on-screen rival in real life?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lee's (I'll Be the One) swoony romance, packed with classic romance tropes, centers 16-year-old bisexual Korean American actor Hana Jin. After Hana lands the lead role on the K-drama Fated Destiny and moves her family from their Florida hometown to Seoul, she's sure that her dreams have come true. But the show's ratings are lower than anticipated, so the producer decides to drum up interest by having Hana faux-date costar and K-pop group member Bryan Yoon. Despite Bryan's "jerk wad" personality, she agrees to the scheme, determined to do whatever it takes to maintain her career. When ratings continue plummeting, a last-minute rewrite casts Hana's ex-best friend, classmate, and crush Minjee Park as her on-screen romantic rival. As the show's love triangle develops, so too do Hana and Minjee's feelings for each other, jeopardizing the show, their hard-won careers, and their own hearts. Though there's space for more in-depth characterization and Hana's internal dialogue sometimes meanders, Hana and Minjee's sweet romance, behind-the-scenes peeks into K-drama productions, and richly detailed Korean culture buoy this joyous romance. Ages 13–up.
