As they might say, you don't really want to be meeting your idols; they will disappoint you.
Considering how perceptive our MC is tho, maybe she has an idea?
I wouldn't pretend to really know what really happens in the industry; that is for the actors themselves and the staff that works around them to know. However, the portrayal seen here (aka "a spunky and bright up-and-coming vs a jaded veteran that is faced with this newbie") is consistent on how it is shaping up from other works as well.
Quite formulaic if I say so myself. Something that formed in the back of my mind but hadn't really put into writing because I can never really be too sure how it would go.
Considering there isn't anything spicy going on here, I don't think the outrage machine will be descending on the comments section again... but I will have popcorn on standby just in case.
Thanks for the TL and work done! I'll wait for the next one!
