A K-drama romance that rewrites the expected roles

Hana knows the conventions of K-dramas and plans to keep her own starring role—and a contract relationship with co-star Bryan Yoon—within the bounds of the show’s script. The arrival of a new lead actress, someone from Hana’s past, unsettles that arrangement. The story brings the mechanics of a fictional production together with Hana’s changing feelings for her on-screen rival, placing questions of performance, romantic expectations, and competition within a young adult romance. Its premise turns familiar second-lead and contract-romance tropes into part of the plot itself.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in contemporary romance.
  • K-drama fans who enjoy stories engaging with television tropes and productions.
  • Readers interested in romance between rivals.

Book overview

In this simmering, joyous novel, I'll Be the One author Lyla Lee delivers a tender romance set between two brave teens who decide that when the script isn't working, it's time to rewrite it themselves.

The first rule of watching K-dramas: Never fall in love with the second lead.

As an avid watcher of K-dramas, Hana knows all the tropes to avoid when she finally lands a starring role in a buzzy new drama. And she can totally handle her fake co-star boyfriend, heartthrob Bryan Yoon, who might be falling in love with her. After all, she promised the TV producers a contract romance, and that's all they're going to get from her.

But when showrunners bring on a new lead actress to challenge Hana's role as main love interest--and worse, it's someone Hana knows all too well--can Hana fight for her position on the show, while falling for her on-screen rival in real life?
