Synopsis

Hwang Yura has always dreamed of becoming a star. Unfortunately, luck does not seem to be on her side, as she has yet to land a major role despite making her debut seven years ago. Still, Yura continues to put her best foot forward and receives a role in a movie destined for success. Much to her dismay, she is once again cast in a minor role.

Once on set, Yura runs into two familiar faces—her narcissistic ex-boyfriend Kim Jeong-u and famous actor Kang Seunghyeon. While Yura promises herself to keep her head in the game despite Jeong-u's egotistical presence, the handsome Seunghyeon takes an interest in her due to the circumstances of their previous encounters. Through the strenuous filming, the unknown actress and the lead star form a unique relationship. All the while, Yura tackles the relentless challenges of the entertainment industry on her journey to stardom.

This is a straightforward manhwa with no unnecessary drama or major plot twists. Slice of life and fluff to the max.

If you stumble upon this manhwa and is on the fence of whether going for it or not, ...

This manhwa hands down is one of (if not) the best adult idol/actor manhwa.

Daytime Star didn’t contain any unnecessary drama, and instead focused on the evolution of the main characters’ relationship. (The only drama in the manhwa was involving her ex-bf, which was very minor and collectively wasn’t more than 5 chapters).

Its very nice to be able to see a ML who is a green flag occasionally, as lately most MLs are toxic and very pushy towards the relationship. ...

This is a self-insert comic. And not a good one. Rather, this is on the level of telenovelas or Harlequin novels. I’m not being hyperbolic, that is exactly the level of content you can expect.

The story is about the protagonist’s actress career, but that’s secondary. The most important is that there are hunks, and that they are giving her attention. The plot is dime a dozen, the characters have no depth, it’s the usual “all important people are beautiful” writing, simply a land of fantasy that tries to pass of as real life. There's nothing about the characters that makes you say "wow, interesting, I ...
