episode_0047

I guess I’ll have to go to the site.

The airing date is just around the corner, but what the heck is going on?

It’s obvious that the PD and writer love Hyejin and Eohwa so much, but do you think there are sisters who fight like that?

Just turn it over as soon as you see it,

‘Huh? Chae Seo-yoon?’

As I was hurriedly leaving the lobby, I discovered the side profile of Chae Seo-yoon.

A white short-sleeved crop top that slightly reveals the waistline with skinny jeans.

It’s a refreshing dress code that’s commonly seen on college campuses, but the visuals are definitely not common.

‘The line was definitely drawn well.’

I have thoughts that it would have been nice if the beautiful mermaid Rona ○ Key had appeared in a commercial drama.

Our Hyejin is just as pretty and slender as Chae Seoyoon.

It’s a bit lacking in maturity. If I just used CG to create a time machine on the screen, that would be enough.

‘Yeah, Hyejin is a good casting card.’

I tried to pass by as quietly as possible so as not to disturb the viewing of .

“Why do you avoid people?”

I haven’t seen you roll your eyes.

When did you see me?

“Have you seen it?”

“Then where does that big thing go? Even when it’s behind you, you can definitely feel its presence.”

“Hey, you’re behind me, so how does that make sense?”

“That’s what I mean.”

Chae Seo-yoon is a valuable networking asset, as she just says she’s busy and leaves.

I decided to take some time and admire the painting from the side.

Well, no matter how you look at it, it’s cool.

Especially when viewed from the front, the most striking feature is the round sun reflected on the water, which is the logo of the company.

I feel even more attached to it because it is a ‘click’ point that contains my soul.

“What is your expression right now?”

“Yes?”

“It’s just like the picture I drew, it’s a masterpiece, the whole world will recognize it, that’s what the face was thinking?”

You’re sharp, this woman.

After over 900 reviews and complaints, I finally came across the Hwa-ryong-jeom-jeong-na-ki-ro-go, and I was exclaiming in admiration while looking at the sun reflecting on the water.

“I didn’t think so. As expected, actress Chae Seo-yoon is really pretty. It seems like the concept of beauty itself has been embodied in a human being. I did think that.”

Chae Seo-yoon was silent for a few seconds, then opened her mouth in a slightly lowered tone.

“You are very… unique.”

“What do you think about Chae Seo-yoon’s beauty?”

“No. How can you give me such a compliment in front of me? Was it a compliment under the guise of a compliment?”

“Was it an objective evaluation?”

“… .”

“Chae Seo-yoon, you’re beautiful.”

“Wow, really. Wow… .”

Chae Seo-yoon suddenly turned her head away.

weird.

In Korea, a hexagonal actress who is popular for her looks, acting skills, popularity, and youthfulness is getting such a response to a single compliment.

Don’t you usually just say something like, ‘Oh, that’s too much praise,’ or ‘I know that too,’ and brush it off?

“You can’t sell this painting anywhere else. Sell it to me, I’ll give you more money no matter what.”

“I’ll definitely contact you when I sell it.”

“Even if it doesn’t sell, I’ll contact you occasionally.”

“Yes?”

“We even exchanged numbers, so how could I not say hello?”

Before I could even answer.

Chae Seo-yoon took one step, then two steps, towards the painting.

Listen to what people say.

As expected from a successful star, he’s doing his best.

By the way, the scenery is amazing.

Seo-yoon wearing sandals on her bare legs in a large oil painting.

The back of Seo Yoon looking at me like that.

I was thinking of taking a picture of it,

Since it will be recorded in the future app anyway, I decided to just enjoy it with my eyes for now.

If you think about it, most people are busy chasing the screen with their eyes to capture beautiful scenery in photos.

Ignoring the real thing, they are only focused on the small LCD screen the size of their palms while taking pictures.

“Then I will pass it on.”

Only then did Chae Seo-yoon turn around.

A faint, mischievous smile could be seen hanging on the corner of his mouth.

“You guys, you’re really annoying in the wrong places.”

“Yes?”

“How long are you going to hang this here?”

“If nothing special comes up, maybe continue? I got permission from the company, and wouldn’t the mermaid princess in the picture like it even more?”

“Are you always in people’s eyes?”

“Yes.”

“But that’s a little different from the truth. I like spending time alone in a quiet place the most.”

Chae Seo-yoon crossed her arms and wiggled her wrists.

If you look closely, it is similar to the gesture of waving one’s hand to say goodbye.

“I’ll stop stealing your time, busy people. Go away.”

***

After Director Cha Do-young left.

Chae Seo-yoon looked up at herself in the large painting.

A subject who has the same face as you, but has a completely unfamiliar expression and look in your eyes.

Seo-yoon, who had been staring blankly, quietly walked to the side.

A somewhat uncomfortable side angle for viewing the painting.

Only then does the sun reflected in the water reveal its true form.

It doesn’t look like you’re just standing next to me.

Only when you stand at a very precise angle and level with the object, can the sun reflected on the object reveal its hidden weakness.

“You’re so picky.”

Chae Seo-yoon giggled silently with a small expression.

She turned around quickly and left the lobby with light steps.

Before passing through the main gate, I looked at the painting one last time and muttered.

“I’m sure it’s true. So did you fall?”

***

Hmm, that’s weird. That’s weird…

I deliberately watched from a distance, but the atmosphere on set was normal.

Everyone was very friendly and everyone was trying to give Hyejin something to do.

Although I couldn’t hear the voice because it was far away, the atmosphere I could see was at least not one of bullying a young rookie.

“Hyejin, are you having a good time filming?”

“Ah, Doyoung oppa. You must be busy with your ○ki meeting today, how did you come all the way here?”

“That’s all done. Did you enjoy filming?”

“Yeah, yeah. I got a lot of compliments from the PD.”

I wondered if it was true, so I looked back at PD Son Jun-gu, who was standing at a moderate distance away.

Hyejin nods her head very quickly as if to agree with what she said.

I thought you were busy monitoring, but it looks like you were listening to our conversation.

“Yeah, yeah. Now that you start acting in a drama, you’re bound to become a star, so hold on tight. From now on, no matter what you do, cameras from all over the country will be following you around. ”

“Ah, I don’t think I’d like that.”

“If you came into this world because you wanted to be an actor, you have to endure it.”

There doesn’t seem to be any problem.

I wonder if my mother misunderstood that I was just a little tired?

I left Hyejin behind and had a cup of coffee with PD Son and talked.

“Is Hyejin okay? I’m just having a hard time paying attention on set these days.”

“Yes, you are doing very well. The atmosphere is also very good.”

Because I send the storyboard as soon as the script comes out, the filming set runs smoothly without me having to worry about it.

Still, the reason I consistently go to the scene is because I enjoy watching Hyejin and capturing her on camera.

I didn’t know, but I like pretty things.

I like to look at things and capture them on camera.

I also like nagging to make things look prettier.

It seems like you have a natural aptitude for video production.

So sometimes I wonder if that’s why the future app chose me.

Rather than just being lucky, doesn’t being chosen seem more special?

“The mermaid and sneakers CF is no joke.”

“Haha, PD-nim. This is already the 13th time you’ve said the same thing. But you can say more. I’ll listen as much as I want.”

“Seeing that, I realized once again how amazing 30THC is. No, how did they produce such high-quality CG in such a short time? How much did it cost to produce per second?”

“I received 50 million won per second as CG value.”

“That CG company director did a tribute CG for our drama.”

“I really like Hyejin.”

I spoke vaguely on purpose.

I feel a little uncomfortable talking about the internal characters as if they were completely separate entities.

“They say they’re going to make a feature-length drama out of the mermaid and sneakers CF from Na○ki?”

“Has the rumor already spread that far?”

“It’s all over the place right now. I heard that Na○ki released 420 billion and Pintree Entertainment is holding on to it, so they’re making a big fuss about it. ”

PD Son’s excitement grew more and more.

“A drama with a production cost of 420 billion won? Isn’t that a new record in the history of Korean dramas? No, it’s a new record, including the movie version. Wow, really, really. ”

Now that I hear it, I’ve accomplished something amazing.

“Chae Seo-yoon is the lead actress, right? What happened to the script? Who is directing?”

“We are proceeding step by step. Anyway, we will have to wait until next year.”

After finishing the conversation with PD Son, road manager Byungwook Ahn came.

It looks like he has something to say.

“Chief Cha, this is Hyejin.”

I knew it right away by looking at his complexion.

That my mother wasn’t just talking nonsense.

“Something bad must have happened. You get really depressed when you’re alone.”

“Are you hiding it in front of your brother too?”

“You really hid it. I watched closely and barely found out.”

I had no idea about that when we were talking earlier.

Then does that mean Hyejin hid it completely from me?

“The kid can’t eat what he wants, so I bought him some grapes yesterday, right? But he left some.”

“Oh my god, Hyejin left some grapes?”

That grape ghost Hwang Hye-jin?

“That’s right. Even the day before yesterday.”

“The day before yesterday too?”

“Yeah. My child is trying not to show off in front of other people, but what on earth is going on?”

If you hide it from me, it’s not normal.

no way….

“You don’t have a boyfriend, do you? So because of the lover’s quarrel… .”

“That would be the worst, but with us or our parents by our side day and night, how could we possibly have time to do that?”

“It’s school. It’s engineering.”

“Let me take a closer look.”

It’s definitely not a relationship problem.

He knows better than anyone else how important a time he is in his life as an actor.

“Ah.”

“What did you think of?”

“I overheard you talking to a friend, and you were worried about casting for your next project. Could that be why?”

The debut drama hasn’t even aired yet, but what kind of kid is already worrying about the next drama?

But, if you are a sensitive teenager, you might be able to bring up worries about the future, right?

After filming was over, we put Hyejin in the van and drove away.

As usual, I captured Hyejin’s face on camera, but I couldn’t catch anything really strange.

This is definitely not the face of an 18-year-old girl who is struggling alone.

As for real acting talent, no. Right now is not the time for me to be satisfied with something like that.

“Hyejin. Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

“Huh? No? Why?”

“Really not there?”

“Should I have it?”

Hyejin, who had been laughing bashfully, suddenly clapped her hands.

“Ah! Sometimes I get confused about whether I’m acting properly or not because Doyoung oppa doesn’t point it out to me coolly.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Everyone just kept giving me compliments, so I thought it was because of Doyoung oppa’s shadow. Especially PD-nim, I sometimes wonder if you’re only praising me because you want to point something out, but you’re worried about what oppa thinks.”

“Hey, PD-nim wouldn’t be that kind of person… Maybe? ”

I’m starting to lose confidence in what I’m saying.

Hyejin smiles slightly brighter.

“See. Doyoung oppa can’t lie with his whole body, so if I ask him if I did well or not today, he’ll know right away. ”

“Then why did you leave the grapes yesterday?”

“… .”

“Why on earth is that grape ghost Hwang Hye-jin?”

I saw Hyejin flinch, even if only for a moment.

Wow, this works?

At this level, Hyejin needs to be able to poke a hole in Poker Face.

“The grapes just didn’t taste very good? Lord Oppa bought the wrong ones.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

Hyejin returned to her poker face again.

No matter how much I ask him, he just smiles brightly and denies it.

I guess it’s hard to let it go.

Maybe, really, it could be due to hormones for no reason.

‘I can’t help it. I need to cheer you up.’

I originally planned to tell you about the Na○ki casting after Winter Castle ended, but it didn’t work out.

If you’re really worried about your next project and are suffering from a loan, you should pay it off first.

“Your next work, Na○ki drama casting is confirmed.”

I can now make decisions at my own discretion. I have the authority to do so.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Na○ki is making an OTT commercial drama with a production cost of 420 billion won, and you have been chosen as the lead role.”

The poker face crumbled.

Eyes widen, eyelashes flutter, lips quiver, and cheeks turn red.

“I’m the lead?”

“Yeah. Stop worrying about the next work.”

Two hands wiggle on my thighs.

I guess you can’t contain your joy.

“Hey, oppa. I have a question.”

“Ah, the scenario hasn’t come out yet. Only the production and your lead casting have been confirmed.”

“That oil painting… That was drawn at the request of senior Chae Seo-yoon, right?”
