I Will Live As An Actor - Chapter 181
I Will Live as an Actor Episode 181:
Double Congratulations.
“Scene number 37, dancing with the mermaid prince!”
The assistant director’s voice became louder. The staff’s eyes all turned towards the filming site.
In their eyes, there was a wish that the shot would go perfectly without any NG this time.
Producer Kim Woo-hyung moved forward towards the televised screen.
The filming location is a social gathering place. Gorgeous chandeliers and classy classical music flow.
Everyone attending the party has their heads stiff.
They are talking to each other while holding a glass of champagne in one hand.
The topic of conversation is also unusual. Not only the country’s policies, but also the units of real estate money exceed tens of hundreds of billions.
If someone I don’t know listens to it, I’d think it might be a gathering of delusional patients.
The second generation of business magnates who control the Republic of Korea were members of this party.
Han Myo-jeong (Yeonsu) really hated these social gatherings.
As the joke goes, they were held by the umbilical cord and had fun, so aren’t they people who became second-generation chaebol thanks to having good parents?
However, they are all obsessed with a sense of privilege similar to that of the chosen people, and they think of ordinary people only as cogs or parts for them.
‘Unlucky.’
It was a social gathering that I attended under pressure from my father. It was no exaggeration to say that most second-generation chaebol people’s romances took place here.
But there can be no ordinary love. It is not a sweet whisper of love, but a tool for an arranged marriage that considers each person’s interests.
“I really wanted to see you, Myojeong, and I get to meet you in a place like this.”
“Ah yes.”
“Our chairman told us to express our deepest gratitude to Mr. Myojeong’s father. If you get a chance, would you be able to talk with me privately today? “It wouldn’t be a bad choice for you and your father.”
There were many men approaching Han Myo-jeong, who was wearing a pure white dress.
They are all children of companies that are considered to be among the top companies in Korea. They appear polite on the outside, but if you look closely at what they say, they are full of a sense of privilege.
I could tell from the fact that he referred to his father or grandfather as the chairman.
“I’m a little tired today.”
The man twists the corner of his mouth at Han Myo-jeong’s cold attitude.
“I understand that the conversation has already progressed between Myojeong’s father and our chairman, but I guess you are curious. Since you said you’re tired, I guess I’ll have to make plans for next time. However, please keep in mind that the more thorns a rose has, the more beautiful it is, but the thorns of a withered rose look rather unsightly.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Isn’t it true that the group that Mr. Myojeong will inherit is in jeopardy? You can tell just by looking at the fact that he sent his only daughter to a shabby hotel in Busan. then.”
Well, there are people like that!
Han Myo-jeong glared at the man, but the man jerked his head away with a sneer.
She wanted to throw off this cumbersome dress and get out of here right now.
Afterwards, many men talked to Han Myo-jeong as if they were looking at her liver, but they only laughed at her cold attitude and turned their heads away.
‘I miss Lee Soo (England).’
Only one person came to her mind.
Eventually, the time for social gatherings ripens. It got to the point where the man and woman were holding hands and dancing.
It’s like a meeting between nobles in the European Middle Ages. That’s because they still think that the Republic of Korea is a class society and that you are in a position of nobility. Just then, the man who had sneered at Han Myo-jeong approaches.
“Lady, would you like to dance with me?”
His face was full of pride. As if you can’t do anything without me.
Given Han Myo-jeong’s personality, it wouldn’t have been strange if she had thrown a high heel at his face right now.
But everything at social gatherings goes to my father’s ears. It was then.
“Myojeong.”
Han Myo-jeong’s head turns at the familiar voice. No, it was no exaggeration to say that the attention of everyone at the social gathering was focused.
It felt like a bright halo was shining in the gloomy social gathering hall. The face of the man who had been manipulating Han Myo-jeong just moments ago suddenly crumpled.
Suddenly.
The man who held his hand was none other than Lee Soo. Everyone makes way for him as he strides toward the center of the social gathering hall.
Isn’t that why their presence is so different from those who claimed to be nobles?
Everyone looks at him. As if he were the main character of this place. Lee Soo looks at Han Myo-jeong and says.
“Am I very late?”
Han Myo-jeong shows a bright smile for the first time.

After filming was over.
The successive NGs disappeared like a lie after a short break. The tension at the filming site disappeared and everything went smoothly as the male and female leads acted as if they were possessed by the main characters in the script.
The staff, who had been thinking about staying up all night, could not hide their smiles of joy as the director continued to sign cuts.
“brother.”
Blue waves splash. You can see people coming to enjoy swimming in the sea while seagulls chirping.
They were two people standing on the terrace of the filming site where a social gathering was held. Yeonsu spoke while overlooking the beach and white sandy beach.
“thank you.”
“what?”
“There was a scene like that in a children’s book I read when I was young. It’s like a guardian spirit who always appears and helps the protagonist when he or she is in danger. To me, my brother seems like that kind of person. No matter what problem arises, he solves it without any problem. Even just today’s filming, if the other person’s role had been someone else, there would have been NGs all night long.”
‘If I hadn’t played the role opposite you, Yeonsu wouldn’t have been nervous.’
England did not express its inner feelings outwardly. In fact, he was clearly responsible for Yeonsu’s repeated NGs.
Isn’t she an actress? It was impossible not to be sensitive to the scandal. It was even worse because the person involved in the scandal was away in Hong Kong.
“Oppa, I have something to confess.”
Yeonsu paused for a moment, then sighed as if he had made up his mind and spoke reassuringly.
“Did I actually feel good on the inside when the scandal news came out?”
“really?”
“Oh, it was nice that that person was my older brother. As you probably know, you are my first love. “I feel refreshed after talking about it.”
Yeonsu’s expression looked relieved, as if she had ended a long period of suffering. By the way, you are my first love. I had no idea that saying someone’s first love would make my heart pound this much.
“But I’m going to give up my regrets now. From now on, I plan to like you as a fellow actor. So you don’t have to feel sorry in front of me either. If you have a girlfriend, make sure to show it to me first. Don’t date a strange woman. I’m sure you’ll be fine, but… … .”
Yeonsu’s voice was filled with tears. However, as if he doesn’t want to show it, he smiles while wiping the bridge of his nose.
-Please don’t hide your feelings.
At that moment, the advice given by Gyeryunbi came to mind. My heart felt strange. My heart is pounding and I feel extremely anxious as Yeon-soo tries to disappear in a hurry.
Only then did England realize that he had been oppressed by himself in his past life. You are yourself in your past life, but it is the past and what is important is the present.
Suddenly.
England held Yeonsu’s hand.
And
“I don’t think I have anything to show you, my girlfriend.”
“what?”
“I like you too.”
I confessed.

Lee Hye-sook is busy preparing dinner. From seafood to seasonal vegetables and braised ribs. It was a series of delicacies from mountain and sea to the point where I could not envy the king’s 12 concubines.
On the other hand, Kim Seong-hoon, who was helping with the cooking, looked restless.
“Honey, rest now. “I will do the rest.”
“I’m done.”
“still… … .”
Lee Hye-sook was more enthusiastic than ever. Didn’t he say that his son was visiting after a long time?
Worse yet, who is coming with me? I didn’t say who I was coming with, but I was secretly excited to hear good news.
In fact, Lee Hye-sook also had something to confess to her son.
“But how did Kook know that he was coming?”
“Is that what Jisoo said?”
“Oh no way. “You told us you would keep it confidential, right?”
Strict confidentiality.
Although I was curious as to what the content was, the two only exchanged embarrassed smiles and did not elaborate further.
Jisoo came back after finishing his nightly self-study just in time to seem like nobility can’t do it.
As soon as Jisoo passes through the front door, the smell of food wafts in and she cries out, wrinkling her nose.
“wow!”
Jisoo, who was picking up a well-cooked donggeurangttaeng with her hand and eating it, covers her hand. He looks quite aggrieved after being hit by his father.
“Wash your hands and come eat.”
“It looked so delicious that I couldn’t help it. Aren’t you doing too much to your daughter who has been studying all this time? And you can do it with words! Why are you hitting me? “You’re mom, right?”
“Then our Jisoo has a lot to say.”
“After all, there is only mom.”
“study? Jisoo, I heard you stole the comic book in class? The teacher called. Please take good care of the guidance. “Won Ji-soo, what do you carry in your school bag? Come here with your bag!”
Jisoo quickly ran away to the bathroom. Looking at that scene, Kim Seong-hoon shook his head and Lee Hye-sook burst into laughter.
Soon, the doorbell sounds. Seong-Hoon Kim tells Hye-Sook Lee to sit down and hurriedly runs to the front door.
“father… … ?”
England tilted his head at the sight of Kim Seong-Hoon coming out to meet him.
Although he was my stepfather, it was no longer awkward to call him father. However, the appearance of Kim Seong-hoon wearing an apron was extremely awkward.
Kim Seong-Hoon also realizes himself and laughs and scratches his head. Then, he smiles brightly as he sees the woman coming in with England.
“Welcome to Yeonsu too!”
It was a cozy dinner. There are so many delicacies to choose from that it becomes difficult to decide what to eat first.
England says he feels sorry for his mother who prepared him food that made him break his upper leg.
“You don’t have to prepare so much just because I’m coming. “You can simply eat it.”
“I heard I’m coming with a guest, so I have to do this. “Isn’t that good news?”
Not only Lee Hye-sook, but also Kim Seong-hoon and her younger sister Ji-soo look at the two people with loving eyes.
England is not the type to slow down. Moreover, what is the need to hesitate on a day like today?
England says, grabbing Yeonsu’s hand that was lying under the table.
“We decided to meet.”
“Is it real?”
“Oppa! I knew that! How well you get along with Yeonsu! “Sister, we are real family now!”
As she receives everyone’s congratulations, Yeonsu smiles faintly and her dimples turn red as if she is embarrassed.
“But didn’t your mother and father also say that they had something to say to me?”
This time, Lee Hye-sook’s cheeks blush at England’s question.
The same goes for Seong-Hoon Kim. On the other hand, her younger sister, Jisoo, looks like she wants to say something.
It was a time when England was puzzled by the sight of the three people.
“There is a truth, Guk.”
Hye-Sook Lee continues speaking while holding Seong-Hoon Kim’s hand.
“I have a little brother.”
