This spin-off to “Once Upon a K-Prom” brings all the drama! If you like K-pop, K-dramas, and friends-to-enemies-to-lovers, then just you wait! You are in for a treat, reader friends! 🫰 Thanks again to NetGalley and Disney Hyperion for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for feedback. 

We get to see some familiar faces in this spin-off, with characters from the popular K-pop idol group (WDB), along with some other friends that you might recognize from the first book. K-pop idol, Moonster (Moon Minseok) and newcomer K-drama star (and former idol), Shin Hyeri, are forced to work alongside together for a variety show. In doing so, it will try to help mend some drama that has affected both of them in some way. On the show, they pretend to get married and do various activities together. I liked the fact that we got to see how their beginnings as idols brought them together as teens and then get to understand why they aren’t too fond of each other when the story originally started out. There’s a LOT of drama that pops up for Hyeri throughout the story, but we get to see some soft sides of Minseok that help her realize that there’s more to her ex-crush/friend than what she originally thought. Will they mend bridges between the two of them or will working together only tear them further apart? 🧐

It was nice to revisit this world that Cho created with the first book, so I’m excited to have had the chance to read it. I look forward to adding it to my forever collection 💞
