episode_0188
by adminOne week later.
First, filming for ‘Lie, Lie, Lie’ was completely finished. Director Park Moo-ryong, normally bald, was so pleased that the smile never left his face.
Even before the premiere.
And meanwhile, on the internet.
As the season transitioned from spring to summer, the entertainment industry was heating up. Thanks to the influx of people from this year’s Busan International Film Festival.

Even though quite some time had passed since the last episode aired, Special Task Force 808 was still a hot topic online. Thanks to the series of collaborations.
In fact, Special Task Force 808 had a secret weapon prepared, ensuring it wouldn’t be forgotten.
─I want to see Kim Yu-han and Lee Kang-cheol’s chemistry again soon! ─I really want to have Kim Yu-han’s photo card ㅠ ─When is season 2 coming out! Please, at least release a teaser ㅠ ─Kim Yu-han, played by Soo-ah *nim*, seems to be the character of my life ㅠㅠ Now, any drama I watch is boring
That was the existence of season 2.
Normally, discussing a completely finished work would quickly lose steam, but the possibility of a second season being produced meant people weren’t particularly resistant to talking about Special Task Force 8.
And there was another piece of good news.

Special Task Force 808 was finally making its way overseas, which was another thing for fans of Special Task Force 8 to enjoy.
─Will Special Task Force 8 be popular in Japan too? ─I heard Japan goes crazy for buddy-cop stuff ─Hope you guys get to experience some plot twists ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ─Ah, I want to spoil Kim Yu-han’s gender ㅋㅎ ─Go Special Task Force 8! Conquer Japan!
This was a drama I liked so much, I wonder what the reaction will be like among people overseas? People paid attention to that.
Especially since there are many people in Korea who enjoy foreign reactions, the anticipation was huge.
As Special Task Force 8 continued to grow like this, Soo-ah, who made Special Task Force 8 what it is today, also benefited greatly. The popularity of Kim Yu-han was Soo-ah’s popularity.
Of course, not everyone praised Soo-ah.

Articles probing and poking around ahead of Soo-ah’s entry into Japan still appeared from time to time, but people were no longer shaken. There had been many official announcements.
─They’re still writing articles like this ㅉㅉ ─Korean schedule is already all revealed, what are they doing… ─Trash that’s living for clicks ㅗ
In the end, even rumors about Soo-ah actually help Soo-ah. The more they try to cut down Soo-ah, the more wonderfully she is sculpted. This was a situation Mystic thoroughly intended from the start.

Thanks to this, Soo-ah soared into the sky.
Now, just talking about pure buzz, she can already stand shoulder to shoulder with top actors. No, Soo-ah is stronger. Soo-ah received more attention because she had the title of ‘newcomer who appeared like a meteor’ in front of her name.
◈◈◈◈◈
The next day.
Jog Korea indoor studio.
Click—! Click—!
The cameras surrounding Soo-ah relentlessly fired off shutter sounds, almost like flashbangs going off.
“Soo-ah *ssi*, let’s have you hold that swimsuit up to your body!”
“How should I do the expression?”
“We’ve already got the seductive expression, so let’s go a different way this time. Like, ‘You want me to wear this?’ with a look of disdain!”
Soo-ah borrowed the power of her ‘fox-like’ act and her ‘maid Soo-ah’ image to pull it off without difficulty. Huh? Why are we suddenly shooting this again? This was at Jog Korea’s request.
They said a new swimsuit had come out and it was such an exceptionally pretty product that it absolutely had to be featured in the magazine. Mystic accepted the request with a very favorable contract as a condition.
Of course…
Soo-ah herself was busy with other thoughts inside.
‘…This whole week has been driving me crazy. What the heck is this?’
The problem Soo-ah was agonizing over was, of course, the Yeon Cheon Gyeong.
[Yeon Cheon Gyeong Record] [1. Kim Seon-il: Yeon Cheon Gyeong ─ Reconciliation] [2. Seo Yeon-ju: Yeon Cheon Gyeong ─ Passionate Love] [3. ■■■ ─ ■■■■] [4. ■■■ ─ Death]
Here, number 4.
‘Death? Yeon Cheon Gyeong being death?’
Naturally, Soo-ah couldn’t know.
‘Still, it’s a relief that nothing has happened right away. I couldn’t even sleep the first day because I was so scared…’
Soo-ah had taped up all the windows in her house, shivering and spending the night in fear, wondering if it meant she was going to die. Soo-ah save me! Soo-ah survival! Soo-ah horror!
But after a few days, she became a little more stable.
It’s unlikely that Soo-ah would suddenly awaken the Yeon Cheon Gyeong, so it doesn’t seem to mean that Soo-ah is going to die, but there’s also no news of anyone around her suffering something terrible.
Soon, she became slightly relieved.
‘Maybe the Yeon Cheon Gyeong’s name is Death? Could it be?’
Eventually, she came to this conclusion.
‘First, I’ll call my precious friends and have conversations, and if I still don’t find any clues, there’s nothing I can do. I can’t just be stuck thinking about this…’
At that moment, when Soo-ah was setting her own course of action.
“Soo-ah *ssi*, you’ve worked hard! That’s a wrap!” “Ah, okay.”
First, the photoshoot for the new swimsuit product was finished.
.
.
.
.
.
Afterward, a meeting took place between CEO Kim Yi-seo and the Jog Korea team leader, and Soo-ah decided to wait in the van. It’s not boring at all. Now I have Soo-mi!
“Soo-mi, aren’t you uncomfortable traveling with me like this?”
“If I am not with *eomeoni*, even gaining the world will be hollow. I am happier now than ever before.” “Soo-mi…”
Just as Soo-ah was giving Soo-mi a tight hug.
*Deureureuk*—
The van door opened and Kim Yi-seo appeared.
“Soo-ah, as expected, Jog Korea’s goal today wasn’t promoting the new product. There was another reason.” “What other reason?” “The new product photoshoot was just a means to get us out here, and their true intention seems to be to sign Soo-ah as a long-term model. Thanks to that, it worked out very well.”
Kim Yi-seo nudged Soo-ah with her elbow.
“Congratulations. Our long-term Jog Korea model.”
Soo-ah knew just from those words what kind of conversation Kim Yi-seo had been having. She must have returned after concluding a contract that was incredibly favorable to Soo-ah.
“And Soo-ah.” “Yes. *Daepyo-nim*.” “About the meeting with Director Yusaku, it’s time to stop pushing and start pulling. If we delay any further, the other party will be displeased. So I’d like to meet them sometime soon.” “I’m fine anytime.” “Then I’ll check the calendar and set it up for the earliest possible time. It probably won’t be too formal of a meeting. The writer wants to thank Soo-ah.”
“…Thank you?”
It was a story Soo-ah couldn’t understand.
We haven’t even had a meeting yet, but suddenly, a thank you? If it’s the writer of Director Yusaku’s work, isn’t that the middle school girl in a wheelchair? I haven’t really had any interaction with her?
‘Ah.’
But Soo-ah soon understood.
That girl was there when I sang at Netflix Korea headquarters. She must have been moved by Soo-ah’s song.
Oh my, Soo-ah genius…
“I’m looking forward to the meeting.”
Soo-ah muttered without realizing it.
Then suddenly.
Soo-ah thought of Yeon Cheon Gyeong.
” *Daepyo-nim*.” “Yes, Soo-ah.” “You don’t want to die, do you? You don’t have any thoughts of dying, do you?” “…” “Always be careful.”
“…Um.”
Kim Yi-seo stared at Soo-ah for a while.
“…Looking back, I didn’t ask enough about Soo-ah’s intentions and made a long-term model agreement. This is my mistake. I just had confidence that Soo-ah would do it, knowing the Soo-ah I know.”
“Um?”
Soo-ah had to listen to Kim Yi-seo’s long story afterward, but there were some gains. First, the CEO absolutely has no intention of dying. Her mental state is also very healthy, healthy.
◈◈◈◈◈
Later, at Kim Seon-il’s mansion. Living room.
“Wow! This guy is such an idiot!”
Seon-il’s younger sister, Yu-jin, jumped up and down.
Currently, the siblings were in front of a large TV, but their postures were very contrasting. Seon-il sat calmly on the sofa, while Yu-jin looked like she was about to enter the TV.
She was clenching her fists tightly and getting agitated as she watched.
Yu-jin turned to look at Seon-il and shouted.
” *Oppa*! Right? That guy’s a complete idiot! Why doesn’t he confess when he likes the girl? I’m dying of frustration!” “Um… I guess so…” “Aaaagh, really! Are you an idiot too, *oppa*?”
Seon-il scratched his cheek for no reason.
He wasn’t really interested in what was happening on TV in the first place. He was just with Yu-jin because he thought she was cute when she watched TV. His younger sister watched TV, but Seon-il only watched his younger sister.
Anyway.
[Love Signal]
That was the name of the program Yu-jin was watching now. A romance program that throws in men and women who have never met and pairs them up. It’s a common material, but it’s very popular.
Seon-il thought quietly.
‘Yu-jin is very interested in that kind of thing these days.’
Now that his younger sister’s health had improved and she had been discharged from the hospital, Yu-jin’s biggest interest was ‘romance’. But not her own romance. None other than her *oppa* Seon-il’s romance.
Sure enough, Yu-jin soon stared at Seon-il intently.
“*Oppa*. *Oppa*.” “Yeah.” “Don’t you have a girlfriend, *oppa*?” “No.” “Why not?” “Because I don’t have one.”
“Ah, really… another answer like that…”
Yu-jin sighed deeply.
“There are only uglier guys than *oppa* on the screen? But they’re super popular with girls. So you’re popular too, *oppa*. Why don’t you have a girlfriend? Something’s wrong with this.” “Being popular with girls and having a girlfriend are separate issues. I’m not interested in dating in the first place.” “What? What did you say—!”
His younger sister jumped up as if struck by lightning.
“*Oppa*! You can’t do that!” “What?” “You have to date to be happier! You have to get married too!” “Um…”
Seon-il grabbed his throbbing head.
Yes, the reason Yu-jin was interested in Seon-il’s dating was exactly this. His younger sister still wanted Seon-il to be happier, and she thought dating was the way.
His younger sister tapped Seon-il’s thigh.
“*Oppa*.” “Yeah. Yu-jin-ah.” “Isn’t that white-haired *unnie* your girlfriend?” “…Are you talking about Lee Soo-ah?”
Seon-il stopped just as he was about to say, of course not—. There was one thing he was curious about in the meantime.
“Why did you think of Lee Soo-ah first instead of Seo Yeon-ju? When you think about it, I’ve spent more time with Seo Yeon-ju.” “Yeon-ju *unnie* is a little… um…”
Yu-jin hesitated.
“She seems small… Small people aren’t popular…”
She points to [Love Signal] on TV with her index finger. Um, to be sure, the bigger ones do get more choices.
“Anyway, *oppa*!” “Yeah?” “Are you going to get a girlfriend or not!”
.

A few hours later.
‘…I knew it. It ends up like this after all.’
Kim Seon-il sat on the bed and sighed deeply.
In the end, he promised to become closer to Soo-ah.
‘Why did I do that?’
Was he afraid of the increasingly hardening expression on his younger sister’s face? Was there still a habit of reassuring his younger sister somehow? Probably both.
‘Still, I compromised wonderfully this much.’
Soon he praised himself.
Compared to what his younger sister initially proposed, ‘Marry Lee Soo-ah’, the current promise was very reasonable. If it had been the Seon-il of the past, he would have been so busy reassuring his younger sister that he would have said yes first.
In the first place, there’s no harm in getting closer to Soo-ah. She’s from the same Mystic family, and she’s a valuable colleague, isn’t she?
‘Okay, get a little closer to Lee Soo-ah.’
Little Yu-jin seems to think that if Seon-il and Soo-ah get closer, they will naturally become a couple, but that’s not going to happen.
Kim Seon-il first checked Soo-ah’s news.
It’s not difficult. Articles pour out when you turn on the internet.
‘Netflix flagship work? She ended up playing the main role. I never thought Hong Ye-ji, who was an assistant writer, would end up like this.’
Seon-il checked the current situation for a long time.
“Wait, now that I think about it, there’s a problem.”
Seon-il put down his cell phone while muttering that.
‘How do you get closer?’
Kim Seon-il didn’t know that.
What does it mean to become closer, and what are the methods?
At that moment, while he was constantly agonizing over it.
*Ttiring*— *Ttiring*—
A message came out of nowhere.
Seon-il checked the sender and twitched his eyebrows without realizing it. Soo-ah had contacted him all of a sudden.
[Sender: Lee Soo-ah] ▷ Are you doing well these days? ▷ No negative thoughts allowed! ▷ Always be happy! ▷ If you’re having a hard time, consult with me!
“What? Suddenly.”
Soo-ah is still an unpredictable figure, now and then. Maybe this is also part of the role or human research.
Kim Seon-il pondered for a moment.
He contacted Seo Yeon-ju.
It’s a little difficult to ask Soo-ah, who is the person in question, right?
[Recipient: Seo Yeon-ju] ▶ Hey. ▶ I have a problem. ▷ Yeah yeah ▷ Everyone has problems ▶ I’m serious now. Don’t joke around. ▷ I’m not joking either?
“…”
Kim Seon-il took a deep breath.
As expected, he doesn’t get along with Seo Yeon-ju at all.
▶ There’s someone I need to get closer to. ▷ ? ▷ Who? ▷ Girl? ▶ Yes. ▷ ? ▷ ???? ▷ ???????? ▷ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ▷ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ▷ You’re talking about Soo-ah lol ▷ This *unnie* knows everything ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)
Kim Seon-il blocked Seo Yeon-ju.
.
.
.
In the end, Seon-il contacted Soo-ah as well.
[Recipient: Lee Soo-ah] ▶ I have a problem. ▷ A problem? Dying is not allowed! ▶ Who’s dying. ▶ There’s someone I want to get closer to. ▷ Really? Who? ▶ That’s….
Seon-il erased and rewrote it several times.
▶ Just someone I know. ▷ Oho. ▷ Then you have to increase the time you spend together, right? ▶ Got it.
Seon-il just agreed right away. Like the previous advice, Lee Soo-ah is trustworthy. Then that must be it.
‘Increase the time you spend together…’
Seon-il repeated those words.
.
.
.
Afterward, Seon-il made a phone call to someone.
“Yes. Writer Lee Geum-suk.”
“Seon-il? Why did you call me first?”
“I saw an article on the internet. You’re working on a Netflix flagship piece, but the actor casting isn’t complete yet.”
“That’s right. We lack male actors.”
“Is the content very difficult?”
“Not really. Looking at the script, only Soo-ah *ssi* is especially unique and difficult, and the other actors are relatively ordinary.”
“Um.”
Kim Seon-il started looking at the calendar app.
Soon Lee Geum-suk asked back.
“Seon-il, so why are you asking that?”
Then, Kim Seon-il, who had finished checking his schedule, replied.
“How about I fill one spot?”
