Summary

At a wedding, gunshots ring out and G-Dragon is gravely wounded, asking An Yan, "If we could start over, would you choose me?" As An Yan's heart breaks, fate truly grants them a second chance. G-Dragon returns to age sixteen, on the eve of BIGBANG's debut, determined to become a better man and wait for her; An Yan leaves behind her life as the eldest daughter of the Gu family and travels to Korea to become a trainee at YG, searching for the missing half of her heart. Meanwhile, Long Aomo, who has stood by her for over a decade, loses his love because of a misunderstanding and desperately searches for her. Past-life regrets and emotional entanglements intertwine as both young men try to win her back in this second life.

Editor's review

A rebirth-in-the-entertainment-industry romance whose appeal lies in the interweaving of a tragic past-life marriage and an idol debut storyline; G-Dragon's devoted waiting after rebirth and An Yan's independent pursuit of her dreams create the main emotional tension. Suited to readers who enjoy Korean entertainment settings, rebirth-and-redemption arcs, and angsty love triangles. Weaknesses: the opening is dense with information, character relationships are laid out in a somewhat messy fashion, there is a lot of dialogue and the pacing drags at times, and the barrier to entry is high for readers unfamiliar with idol groups.

Reading tips

  1. Read the "First Meeting" section first to understand the past-life tragedy and the motivation for rebirth before diving into the main text
  2. Pay attention to the contrast between the G-Dragon and Long Aomo storylines to grasp the logic behind An Yan's choices
  3. Readers unfamiliar with idol group settings can skim the details and focus on the emotional mainline
