"Tenth try" are movie tickets dirt cheap in korea, i mean even if you get like a second screening free on some special days, watching ten times in a row sounds like it'd be exhausting

"holding onto their pants" lmao is that a common 'begging' technique in korea? b/c i feel like if you suddenly grabbed someone's pants in public you're gonna get arrested

It's a little bit boring that his success is 100% attributed to mind control, would be more fun if he was picking skills that were more in line with "stage presence", "facial expression", "vocal quality" and whatever. Or if he just wants to be a superstar with no regards to anything (like it seems here), then why not write it so he gets skill where he steals someone's body+skills+memories? I'm just confused about this progression, it seems kind of pointless.

Well, tbf almost every 'stardom/industry' manhua like this is basically a 'cheat' lol

The only 'acting' one i can think of where there's no 'power' is "Be The Actor" but it was established the MC of that already 'reached the top' to begin with and he simply reincarnated/was able to go back in time after his suicde b/c of his regrets as opposed to "died as an insignificant failed actor and given a second chance"

At least seo jun's powers depending on his past life is varying in levels of skill and he does properly study scripts and such/doing it as a request for his past life as opposed to like using his skill in a 'malicious' way to stop others from getting a role he auditioned for lol, there was a part of that one BrownBlack group where he did properly practice for a song as opposed to grabbing some talented skill (although it's probably a bit more 'earned' than the soccer one where 'steal' is literally in the title lol or the writing one where the guy goes to a specific location and just 'sees' the drama/plot played out as opposed to his own skills or so) but other than the fantasy/reincarnation stuff, i'm sure there are a handful of stories where it's 'rising to the top with no cheat skill'/system, or without reincarnation/rebirth/time travel to where you'd have future knowledge to invest in stocks like Reborn Rich lol
