Rewind to Us follows Big, a burned-out K-pop idol desperate to escape a suffocating industry, and Kelly, an ordinary young woman who finds herself pulled into his world by chance and fate. Their connection grows into something real amid chaos, danger, and the strange appearance of supernatural “dealers” who trade in human desires. The story builds from a tense escape narrative into a romance, then finally into grief as Big’s life is cut short and Kelly must navigate the aftermath with those who loved him most. It is a blend of real-world pressure, fantasy elements, and emotional fallout, tied together by a central yearning for freedom and belonging.

I found myself swept up in Big’s restlessness. His unhappiness sits right under the surface, and the writing shows it in a simple, raw way that hit me harder than I expected. I could feel his exhaustion and the tiny sparks of hope that appear whenever Kelly enters his thoughts. I loved how the book lets their relationship grow slowly, almost shyly, in the middle of everything falling apart around them. At times, the dialogue feels blunt, which works because it mirrors how trapped Big is and how unsure Kelly is about her own life. The supernatural dealer concept surprised me. It comes in quietly, then starts echoing through the whole story until it becomes a major force. That little creature showing up at the end made me stop and think about the whole journey in a new light. It added a strange, eerie charm to the book.

There were points where the pacing jumped fast, especially when the story shifted locations or introduced new conflicts. Yet there is an honesty in the writing that kept me reading. Characters say exactly what they feel. Sometimes it is messy. Sometimes it is harsh. Sometimes it is sweet. I liked that because it gave the story a heartbeat.

Rewind to Us is a heartfelt story for readers who enjoy character-driven romance with a twist of the surreal. It is especially suited for fans of K-pop fiction, soft fantasy, and emotional journeys that do not shy away from pain or complicated endings. If you like stories about people trying to rewrite their lives and finding love in unexpected places, you’ll enjoy reading this book.
