She is so sweet. Sucks there is only one female LI in this book so far. I thought we would atleast get to romance Mi-yeong I think I spelled that right
Ugh I was holding out hope for her too. I’m still reeling from the end of this update 😢
Yes I hope our singing bae is ok. She is too precious to loose.
Seong-hwa bc he’s sweet and kind and also not involved with Seo-yoon’s disappearance
He very supportive as well. I love a supportive man 🤤
Cas cause I usually go with my gut on the first play through and my gut wanted Cas lol
My gut was telling me Cas too 🥵 I might play for his route on a second device 🤭
Did you end up choosing?
Friend, no. 😂😂 I still have the story open siting on the screen you see above rethinking all of my life decisions 😭😭😭
I did too but diamond rush was ending so I went with Cas. He was my original interest and I'll definitely be playing again so I chose all diamond scenes with the LIs.
I'm still conflicted though because Doo-yeong is still in the back of my mind..
Huh I just realized something interesting, your names are in a different order then mine were. Maybe it’s based on how close we are? I know for sure Doo-Yeong was at the end for me.
Yes, I'm quite sure it is dependant on how close you are. My first was Castiel and lo and behold, 2 chapters before I decided that I'll tomance him (yes, it was really hard) and overall it resemled pretty well how many diamond choices I made for them, if we take into account the different screentimes
I noticed it’s like that in the walkthrough as well. I have been romancing everyone equally but we only have had one diamond scene with Dean that’s why I suspect he is at the bottom
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Doo-yeong! He’s sweet but playful/teasing, and doesn’t seem connected in any way to the drama/secrets surrounding the idols. Plus his scenes have been my favorite, hands down.
Yes I like that he is distant from all of the drama, and he is in a different profession than her. He is so dreamy I can’t 😩😍
That kiss scene at the beach has me stuck on him 😍
Dean's great tbh, love himm. I feel like her cares about us but doesn't show it, and he keeps an eye on her but not in a controlling way (which I feel like Castiel kinda does). They have possible partner in crime energy.
Ohhh I like the partners in crime story line 😍 he’s so mischievous I want him 🤤😝 he better now disappoint me 🙄
I'm in the exact same boat as you. I played all the scenes in hope of having an epiphany, but I still can't choose...
Visually it's Dean for me, but I love how Castiel was interested in her even before the story started. Seong-hwa surprised me with how sweet and caring he is towards MC, since he initially was described as cold, and earned himself many points with that. And Doo-yeong is just so sweet and caring and open about everything and shows MC a world outside of all the drama (at least until now).
I just can't choose. I replayed this episode so often but am never happy with the choice I made and start over again 😭
Omg yes I was waiting for the “ah ha” moment. Usually I know who I’m going to romance right out of the gate but RC has been knocking it out of the park with these LIs in the last few books they have released. I’m always so stuck when it’s time to choose 😭 I’m voting for more poly routes because this is crazy 🤣
Girl you are me. I want them all.
Ughhh I wish we could romance them all at the same time 😭😭😭 I’m stuck! I’m probably gonna replay that story 1503983 times after every uptdate so that I can do so
I know!! I was surprised we had to lock in a love interest at the end of season one! I was hoping they would at least give us until early season two
I was so sad, i need more time 😭😭😭
ME TOO ! Now we have to restart the whole story if we want to romance a different li 😫
Currently me replaying the episode over 19646838 times so I can see what happens when you pick each one lol
were struggling mentally 😭😭
I chose cas for a few reasons:
- Plot relevance
- Drama & intensity
- Gut feeling
- I thought it was cute that he had a crush on her even before they were friends
That was very adorable and surprised me as well because it seemed that when MC’s sister was alive, MC was very reserved and quiet so it was nice to know she still caught his eye.
Right?? As s1 who is reserved and quiet myself I found this so sweet🥲
I chose Seong-Hwa for now, but I am thinking of restarting and choosing Castiel or Doo-yeong instead. I love them all, I wasn't ready to choose 😭
Yes it was way too soon. I barley get to see Dean and Doo-yeong and I wanted more romance scenes with them, so I feel like Cas and Seong-hwa are kind of thrown on us by default.
I like Doo yeong the actor! He seems sweet and we got chemistry!!
He is so sweet and is a breath of fresh air away from the agency drama. The things I would do to that man 🥵🧎🏾♀️
🤭🤭🤭😈
It was a hard choice but I also picked Doo Yeong. I feel like he can really be a key figure in the story. I also like the idea of aloof and professional actor becoming more open and passionate towards his sweetheart.
Oooooo! 🥵
Now wait a minute, you might be on to something with this friend 👀😍🥵🥵
Dean cos he's hot
The hottest one imo that’s why I’m stuck 😩
Yes definitely the hottest but I have a feeling he won’t get as much screen time 😞
We have only had one diamond scene with him sadly so yeah I think you are right
It was soooo hard because I love all of their personalities, but in the end I chose Dean. Not only is he the hottest but I’m kinda loving the more slow burn aspect and the playful banter between him and MC. so my first playthrough will be Dean. I’m definitely replaying for all of them though
I am really leaning towards Dean. I love the Slow burn routes as indicated in my choices in other books lol. I just want more scenes with him 😭
I chose Seong-hwa on one account and then Doo-yeong on the other. Wish I had a 3rd account so I could have Dean.
What’s your experience so far with the two after you choose them?
I mean you get to kiss Seong-hwa and that’s nice. The CG is so pretty. But nothing much happens with doo-yeong. But the kiss before we have to pick our LI kind of sold me on him.
Seong-hwa is definitely that default LI imo I need more scenes with everyone else 😭
He is. I know Dean wasn’t originally planned as an LI so not having as many interactions with him in the first place makes sense but I do wish we’d had more chances.
I definitely think that we will see more of Dean the next update, but you can tell that he was a secondary LI
Like the stuff that plays out whether you choose Seong-hwa or not is pretty much the same
I had the hardest time!! I had all the options available and I had to wait a few days because I just could not pick.
I ended up picking Cas, there was just this tension between them from the start that appealed to me and I am pretty sure he canonically has feelings for the MC. And there is a slight flare of danger to him.
I came pretty close to picking Doo-Yeong, I kissed him in a previous episode and I felt like he was a good balance for my MC not to mention very cute and charming but I wasn’t sure how involved in the plot he was going to be.
I also flirted with Dean, Lia and Seong-hwa at various points and I feel like I could have been happy with any of them. Dean I was worried wouldn’t be in it as much with the incomplete branch, Lia she’s nice but I feel like we didn’t get to know her as well. Seong-hwa I went back and forth on. I liked that he was calm and had a sensitive side but I felt like he wasn’t enough of a risk taker to be the best fit for my MC.
Wow I didn’t know you were a mind reader 🤣🤣 this is my exact thought process. It’s really between Dean and Cas now after I had time to sleep on it 😩😩
That’s so funny! I think this story was the hardest one for me to pick a LI! Usually I’m drawn to 1-3 but between GOE and SCN I am struggling!! I think I’m going for Cas and Amen and I’ll eventually replay for Doo-Yeong and Livius.
Every new book has a great list of LIs how do they expect me to choose just one?! 😭😭 I had to start playing on a second device to feel like I wasn’t missing out
Dean but I might replay for Castiel eventually
Cas definitely deserves a replay with that sexy face of his 🥵
I was stuck but I’m probably going with Doo-yeong! He’s drama-free, is removed from the idol scene, and really encourages MC to open herself up to new experiences. He’s like a safe haven for her outside of the craziness🥹 You can just tell how much he respects and admires her even from their first meeting. There’s something poetic about their relationship that I’m just obsessed with!
Definitely a knight in shining amour ready to whisk us away from all of the limelight, take me to a nice private island and make me feel better 😍🥵
Seong-hwa. At first I was sure that I wasn’t gonna choose him (his stage name being exactly same with an irl idol made me uncomfortable at first) but I read the story during diamond rush and decided to try everyone’s diamond scenes. His earlier scenes surprised me in a good way and later on I really liked how he had a lot more going on behind his pristine appearance. I think him being an eventually close friend to Luna while having some secrets drew me in.
He is like the best friend she definitely needs 😍
Dean. I love his playful/mischievous personality, plus he is extremely easy on the eyes 👀
Baby east is and understatement 🥵🥵 I just wish we got more scenes with him 😩
SAME 😭
Easy* lol typing too fast and spell check is clearly not holding me down
Seong-hwa 🥰🥰 I love him so so much!!!
What’s not to love? There is something about a supportive man who just gets it and you don’t even have to explain 😍
Lia cause I think the way their "forbidden" wlw relationship parallels the twin sister and miyeon can be really interesting but I worry about her level of screentime as an idol at another agency and especially as the only female LI. still i'm curious to see how the author will develop the relationship and address the homophobia within the industry.
Imagine if she gets transferred to MC’s agency?! That would be the best 😍
Castiel cause I love a man obsessed with me ✨
A man no one else can say belongs to them 🥵🥵
I chose Seong-hwa but for some reason I’m not satisfied… I’m gonna replay and try Castiel’s route for now 😫
(crying in indecision)
I originally thought I would choose Seong-hwa earlier on in the season, because I love when the LI is heavily connected to the plot, but I feel like I prefer the secondary LIs this time around. There’s so much drama within the agency and everyone has lied to MC either by omission or straight up to her so I picture my MC wanting respite away from it all.
I’m choosing Doo-yeong because he has an outside perspective, and if MC has a choice of changing the idol scene or leaving completely at the end of the book, he could give her that push to get out and still be in the entertainment industry. He’s currently my unproblematic king!
Oh we love an unproblematic king 😩😩 damn you make a very compelling argument. Currently torn between him, Dean and Cas. Help 😭
Ooh tough choices! Cas kinda rubbed me the wrong way in the beginning with his anger, secrecy, and back and forth with MC, so while I took his scenes I never really vibed with him. But I like how soft he’s becoming now! And Dean🫣 god he’s so hot and I just know him and MC are gonna be electric together, BUT he seems more laid back and non confrontational so I’m just not convinced he’ll actually stand up beside MC when she tries to make serious changes in the agency.
😭😭 I felt that I wouldn’t be satisfied with him either. He just too nice, I need some more personality
YES! That’s exactly it! He’s too obedient, I’m already bored 😭
No love for Lia? Lol. Her story is sad so I get it, but she's such a mysterious, multi-layered character. And >! Luna's inner conflict with this "forbidden" path, the mirroring of Seo-yoon and Mi-yeon, but instead of heartbreak, a reciprocation of those feelings !< is such an interesting, complex, and beautifully written story of self-discovery.
I don’t discriminate lol she just wasn’t my first choice this book. Unfortunately we don’t get a lot of scenes with her beautiful face either 😩
I chose Castiel because I saw the other ones becoming a bit boring. He’s the most intertwined with the storyline so will probably get a decent amount of screen time and I like that he’s more bold and will make the first move. Seonghwa is a little too timid for my taste. Dean could’ve been interesting but he’s too much of side character at this point. I was feeling Dooyeong up until that kiss scene. Maybe it’s just me but it kind of rubbed me the wrong way and felt kind of predatory and manipulative the way it happened. So that turned me off. I feel that Castiel’s feelings are the most believable as we find out he’s been carrying a torch for MC for quite some time, which also drew me in. Although arguably I find Seonghwa and Dooyeong AND Dean more attractive than Castiel his character’s storyline and personality was the most appealing to me.
Dean! I like all the other characters, but more as friends. I find Dean attractive and I like the banter haha
You make a compelling argument, he is the absolute cutest one 🤤😍🥵
I normally go for the characters with the good banter as well, keeps it spicy 🤣
Dean, but I will replay for Doo-yeong when it ends. I loved him too, but Dean got me with Foxy, doing our hair, and for some reason he gives me Finnick Odair vibes.
It might be safe to say I will play Dean on this account and Doo-yeong on my other account. I can’t be this indecisive lol
Cas for 2 reasons. I like the fact that he was secretly into MC before she even knew him. Also, I love angst and I feel like he’ll bring the most.
You are me and I am you. Angst is my middle name 😭😭🤣
Same. 😂
Doo-Yeong. His intentions are dubious. He's charming. He's not an idol. Plus handsome and upfront.
So straightforward I love it. With all that MC has gone through, she needs a stable man who is emotionally available and does not lie to her ❤️
Song-hwa is my guy! Honestly I picked him at first just because he was the cutest in my opinion, but he’s grown on me. He’s also the leader of his group so he can help Luna with a lot of what she is going through.
He definitely can relate to MCs struggles with being a group leader she needs someone who understands her
Lia the loml 🥺 I really hope the writer takes advantage of her unique position to let Lia and MC go on dates and outings! Since they’re both women the netizens are unlikely to suspect anything between them.
And on my second account I chose Dean bc I like his and MC’s dynamic. He provokes her into being true to herself, if that makes sense. Like she can’t hide her emotions and lie to herself bc he teases her until she snaps.
Lia is so cute 🥰 I’m hoping Mi-yeong turns out to be a LI too
I picked Dean, because I like his teasing personality and look.
Before Dean I really liked Dooo-Yeong, just like you , for his work ethic and also because he 's not an idol, he's by himself, and i thought he can be a good partner and support for the MC, if the sh** hits the fan lol
But Dean is too irresistible for me,so once I found out he's a LI it was an easy choice for me.
Every time he winks at MC I lose it 😩 kicking my feet like a child lol I choose him 🤭🤭
yes, me too!🤭 Also, the music during the scene where he was helping her fix her hair, the first CG, the whole scene.... *swoons*
I need scenes like that every episode now that he is my LI 😍
Looks like his romance path is going to be a slowburn full of mutual tease and banter. oh how much I love it.😈
i went with lia (i was torn between her and cas), between the two i just felt a bit less bad abandoning cas than her lol. i thought mc and lia had a very interesting and unique connection and i want to see where it will go. also i’m very curious to see how it plays into the story to have mc be in a relationship with a woman given the things we found out about her sister, so that was another factor
Lia is adorable. I want to see them in a duet 😍
Dean because he’s a risky choice in my opinion. Like my MC literally said she sees Seonghwa as her soulmate so he’d be the safe choice. Castiel, well I don’t like how he keeps and just keeps constantly holding secrets. Dooyeong will be on my flirting list for sure 🤭🤭 and Lia, there wasn’t enough for me too choose like they weren’t really giving us anything
I want to see Dean and Seong-hwa fight over MC honestly 😭
LOL me too!!!
The reason I chose jin do yeong is when they kiss they are on this beach or an island with the sun shining bright on the sky which is like good sign or I don't know. But when you see the other 3 Lls romance in the balcony where there are dark clouds with rain and thunder happening which may not be good sign
Lol the writer is foreshadowing all of the drama that is about to hit the fan 🤣🤣
:Seonghwaaaaaaaaa hes jyst perf
So perfect 😍
Deannn. My love I will die for his hairs
He can style my hair any day of the week with his cute self 😭😍
Yessss🥹❤️
I love doo yeong he is cool and detached from all that's happening and seonghwa too he is soo much cute caring.dean has a bit of attitude. I am also waiting for the new Ll he should be like don mafia who's like the king and the boss of everyone for our queen luna
Unfortunately Dean’s messy nature is what is holding me back from just choosing him because it’s definitely not his looks okay?! 🥵😍😭
Dean is a bit mysterious and also you need your male Ll to able to support and fight with whoever MC is going to fight against so I had this doubt whether seonghwa or dean will be able to support MC to fight for justice even if it jeopardize their careers. Will they be willing to take that risk
This is a fantastic point! I like Dean and Seong-hwa but they have their own conflicts going on and my MC needs strong support💪🏼
Right!! They have images to protect as well and will they put their careers on this line to protect MC? Doo-Yeong is a boss and does not take no mess. He will definitely stand up for her and dare anyone who will challenge him.
Yeah exactly like dean and seonghwa are so much into their fame personality and reputation. But when you see doo yeong he is unfazed by all this even when he is holding MC's hand in his office while painting he doesn't let go of it immediately when the managers come . Even when he takes her on a romantic beach which is out of Seoul that's soo cool. They don't give too much scenes with him
dean gives me dominic vibes both started as bad boys but once deep in the relationship i'm guessing dean is gonna be a sweetheart like dom 🥺
This is my only wish 🥹 or I will regret picking him lol
It was between Lia, Doo-yeong and Castiel.
In the end, i chose Lia. I’m very intrigued by how they are going to handle the fact that she and MC fall in love. We have already seen some initial reactions to the subject and if someone finds out about them we can guarantee that it will be dramatic.
Doo-yeong seems cute, but a part of me feels that he sees MC as a perfect work of art that would look beautiful next to him.
And i’m curious about Castiel but his chaotic nature is a little too much for me.
Lia definitely understands MC in how if feels to be a female idol in the industry so I know she will very supportive and loving. 😍😍 I agree about Doo-yeong but I feel like he will change his motives as his feelings deepen for MC. Cas is very chaotic lol but I love the drama 🤦🏾♀️
Lia because I always romance female LIs. But I also wanted Dean for his looks and Cas for the drama. 😭
I’m really hoping for another female LI for my WLW players next update 🤗🤗
i personally really like cas and the angst he brings but i chose seonghwa because i liked his path better with mc overall.
Solid choice, he can literally do no wrong with that perfect face 😍
I ended up choosing Cas.
He was who I was going for at first before but then Doo-yeong grew on me. I'll just have to replay for each one.
Cas immediately caught my eye and then they just had to bring in Dean and Doo-yeong 😩😩 turned my whole world upside down
All the LIs are SOOO well written!
Though, as far as elimination goes, Cas, Lia and to some extent Dean, got eliminated cuz they're hiding significant stuff from MC. Even if it is with good intentions, that is kind of a bummer.
It was a tough choice for me between Seong-hwa and Doo-yeong. Seong-hwa is really very sweet and caring and I pretty much had chosen him before the latest update. But he's hiding some stuff too... I feel he gets along with Luna the best though still. I love how he always supports her somehow. BFF material for my Luna
Doo-yeong really had my heart this update. He's brave, principled and really passionate about his work. He seems to share Luna's values and is direct and bold. And he's not involved in the drama as well! The cherry on top is that his scenes are quite interesting to read, makes you contemplate. So I ended up choosing him ☺️♥️ the only complaint I have with him is the way the kiss scene was written... It felt weird.
Also, that option for no one familiar... Is it for the single route or is there going to be another LI? Any ideas?
Someone mentioned another LI coming possibly so maybe, I’m not entirely sure. I can’t handle another LI. I’m so conflicted as it is 🤣
I feel you 😂
All of the above? Is that an option? No? Oh. 😔
🤣🤣🤣 my thoughts exactly. Why can’t I have a poly route? cries in spoiled brat
i chose cas cuz i adore his character and he seems the most involved in the story so i thought id get better content that way
Yes we definitely do not get that many scenes with the other LIs as we do with Cas and Seong-hwa. They are the default LIs lol
oh my god I had the hardest time choosing. Castiel is the one who caught my eye first, and I love a bad boy with a soft spot for the MC trope so I chose him. but I really want to do a route with Seong-hwa and Doo-yeong, and maybe Lia too
There is plenty to go around with this book lol because usually I only like one LI but not this time 😩
REAL
I want all of them but for my fist play I went with Cas and I kinda feel like he’s obsessed with me and I love it 🤭
He is definitely obsessed with you 🤣🤣
Lia, not really my choice tho.
Why do you say that?
WLW
Yes I mentioned before that I thought Mi-yeong would be a LI I’m still holding out for her 😍😍😍

I'm playing on two devices for Seong-Hwa & Doo- yeong.
I'm stuck between Jin and Castiel.
I chose Castiel and Doo yeong in different accounts
seong hwa
I haven’t played that episode yet but I already know I’m gonna be so torn between cas and dean. At first I thought they should have made dean a LI cause I loved his look, but then he wasn’t one right away and I was fine with it and didn’t think he would be. I started really liking Cas. Then suddenly they bring in Dean, now I’m conflicted. Why do I have to choose already ? sigh
i picked seong-hwa because i knew i was immediately going to replay (for some reason i was balancing my points 😭) and was intending to choose someone else after (probably doo-yeong, i think he’s so beautiful) but the scenes after w seong-hwa in the final episode really got me…im replaying now and i still don’t know if i’m gonna stay with him or choose someone else
Seong-hwa. He is super caring, serious, reliable and with a shy, childlike side to his personality.
I am WEAK for Dean 😭 before he was even a LI, when I first saw him I 'oh no'd' internally.
I'm officially on his path now and BOOOOOY. So far so great. Not creepy or pushy at all and Ji-Yoon gave him a taste of his own medicine in the best way. I like mellow rebellious bad boys and all his little moles/birthmarks are too cute to ignore
Dean definitely. Knew I was gonna pick him at first sight.
I was aiming for Doo-Yeong but there’s this power imbalance between him and MC that I can’t quite put my finger on. He’s supportive but seems to be supportive in his way only. I regret we didn’t see more of him before having to choose!
Doo-yeong for my 1st account Song-hwa for my 2nd Dean for my 3rd
Hey, someone choose "didn't see anyone familiar?"
Why do I feel like mi yeon and seonghwa liked each other ??. Like during their trainee days
Not far fetched even though I thought her and Cas were a thing at one point
That also explains why seonghwa hates castiel so much

Lia. She’s the only female LI and this last update made me really start getting into her
