![]() ![]() The dark side of K-pop is always up for discussion, given the things that trainees have to go through and much like many people have already stated, Shine does almost read like a memoir. There’s just something so refreshing and familiar when it comes to a story like this, but it also successfully has its dark moments that give the story that much more depth. ![]() As a fan of K-dramas, I have always wanted a book that read like the ridiculously melodramatic yet comical stories that they usually have, and Shine fit the bill for me. I went into Shine with extremely high hopes and it delivered everything I wanted and then some. Yet even through the dark side of K-pop, there are comical moments riddled throughout and plenty of classic K-drama tropes to give readers of this novel a feel for the niche genre that it falls in. Jessica Jung does not stray from the harsh realities that K-pop artists face not only to debut, but to stay at the top. If you are a fan of K-pop and K-dramas, then you’re going to love Shine. ![]()
