Description

Chen Meimei was 180 cms tall with rolls of fat all over her body. When she walked, she would jiggle left and right, like a big pumpkin. Fu Bainian was a handsome man with a tall, slender build, and wherever he went all eyes would follow him. He walked in the spotlight and lived like a movie star. When their parents proposed marriage, Fu Bainian sneered and thought to himself, ‘she’s a toad wishing to eat swan meat’. He firmly rejected any thoughts of marriage. But then… “Hey look, President Fu’s following Chen Meimei again!” “Isn’t President Fu slapping his face at this point?” Great President Fu had a bitter expression on his face. He had no choice! Who decided to let the person that he’d secretly loved for so many years be reborn into the body of such a fatty?!

My Thoughts on Rebirth of a Star: Another Day, Another Drama

Alright, let's dive into "Rebirth of a Star: Another Day, Another Drama." I went in with moderate expectations, intrigued by the showbiz setting and the reincarnation premise. But after spending some time with this novel, I'm left with mixed feelings, and honestly, some disappointment.

First Impressions

Initially, the setup was promising. A popular actress reborn as her overweight stalker? It had potential for a fun, rom-com-esque story with a strong female lead navigating the entertainment world. I was ready for some clever comebacks and a satisfying "fat to fit" transformation.

What Works Well

I did appreciate that the female lead wasn't immediately a genius at everything. She had to grapple with the reputation of her new body's previous owner, which added a layer of realism. Also, the family dynamics, while not heavily featured, weren't the typical "evil family" trope, which was a refreshing change.

Areas of Concern

Unfortunately, the story quickly lost its way. The plot became messy with too many rivals popping up, and the focus shifted away from the female lead's acting skills, which should have been a central element. The biggest issue, however, is the male lead. He is described as an egocentric character. His actions often contradict his words, leading to a frustrating and unfulfilling romance. The female lead's character also suffers, becoming increasingly dependent and losing the strong, independent spirit she initially possessed. The story devolved into a repetitive cycle of drama, forgiveness, and more drama, making it difficult to stay invested.

Final Verdict

Ultimately, "Rebirth of a Star: Another Day, Another Drama" falls short of its potential. While the premise is intriguing, the weak plot, unlikeable male lead, and inconsistent character development make it a difficult read. If you're a die-hard fan of the genre and willing to overlook these flaws, it might be an acceptable time-waster. However, for those seeking a well-developed story with compelling characters, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
