Bookmarked? Yes.
I had previous rated Be The Actor as a 9.6 but that was my first ever review, and the score had been heavily inflated. However, I still want to give the series the justice it deserves for an experienced review. Enough of the prelude, time to get into the actual review.
In the simplest way I can put it, Be The Actor has been the most heartfelt story I have read to date. There have been many times where I’ve cried reading a manga/manwha/manhua but never in successive stories. This, though it may not be my preference of story, made me tear up so often. The plot itself is so immersive and well-paced so my tears are not for naught. Each character is well written and developed throughout their arc, and no character feels disposable and used for plot convenience’s sake. To add to this, the main character is extremely likable due to his redemptive qualities. In his previous life, he was the scum of the scum, but with a second opportunity he fixed all his mistakes in a non-forced manner. As I’ve read the growth of the main character, in age and personality, a strong attachment is formed, almost like I know him personally. Thus, I want nothing but the best for him and experience happiness for his success. Along with this, the art compliments the storyline perfectly by being the classic romance art but even more eye catching. Truly, this story has one of the best writings in manwha history. Even if you don’t like slice of life/non action stories, I would give it a shot—that is how good it is.

Unless there is a Christmas miracle/curse, all scores are finalized, and I have an innate bias towards stories with snip-bits of romance.
Great read so far with pretty funny translation errors. But its very refreshing because it is a regression story without those stupid overused STATUS SCREENS and UPGRADES with some player AI leveling system.
MC is actually really good as a character and his relationship with his mother is so wholesome and tear inducing.
Man… the 1st chapter totally bring back good + bad memories at the same time….
Anyway👍👍👍✌️
Bad translations but the story makes up for it, it’s really really good. 4.9/5 read it immediately
Simply amazing. I love everything about it and I am hellaaaaa excited
for more to come. It’s wholesome, fun, engaging and really just super interesting, I read it all in one go and I can say this is one of the better reads out there especially when it comes to the acting theme in combination to regression. READ READ READ READ
I just remembered “Movies are Real” was a thing
Bro I gotta piece together the translation like a fucking archeologist. If the story wasn’t so good I wouldn’t bother
While I’m sure that eventually something is gonna go wrong, I hope it’s light. This is seriously such a nice thing to read (despite some translation errors)
i will give this 10/10, its like give you a joy and heartwarming.
It reminds me of a wn “life once again” … hmm
the title 🤣 be the doctor
I usually prefer more action but this one tugs at my heart. Hoping for more chapters soon
I rate this 10/10 if i can rate it higher I would do it
After reading the latest chapter (12) I can 100% say that this manhwa is very heartwarming. You can read this to relax and relive yourself after a long day of work or anything tiring or stressful.
Really freaking good and heartwarming, I hope the next few chapters come soon
