I Will Live As An Actor - Chapter 184
I will live as an actor Episode 184
Sizzling.
The kitchen is filled with a fragrant aroma.
Not only are there a variety of fried foods, reminiscent of a holiday, but you can even see raw beef.
The food prepared with care is neatly placed in a large mother-of-pearl lunch box.
The combination of five colors was so beautiful that it felt like a work of art rather than ordinary food.
“Hye-sook… … ?”
Kim Seong-hoon woke up to the sound coming from the kitchen. Not long after, I realized that Lee Hye-sook was not next to the bed, so I went out to the kitchen, rubbing my eyes with my sleeve. and.
“Hye-suk!”
Kim Seong-hoon’s eyes, which had been as small as a baduk ball in his sleep just a moment ago, widen.
“Oh, Seonghoon, you’re awake. “I told you to wake me up in a little while.”
“Oh, since when did you start doing this?”
“I woke up early so I took it slow.”
Kim Seong-hoon was getting restless when he saw Lee Hye-sook waking up early in the morning and cooking in the kitchen. Isn’t it time to be careful? Now, my stomach has swelled to the point that even strangers can tell that I am pregnant.
“I’ve never been to a filming location before, so I thought I’d pack some food and visit for the first time in a while.”
“No, that’s still true. “I could just buy food at the market, but it’s like this.”
“It’s the same as living a life and making something like this. “My body is heavy these days, but it’s good to move.”
At that time, Jisoo walks out from one side of the room, her eyes still full of goosebumps. My eyelids were almost closed, but my eyes slowly opened to the feast of food prepared in the kitchen.
Lee Hye-sook bursts into laughter at that sight. This may be because she looks exactly like her husband, Kim Seong-hoon.
“wow! Mom, what is all this? “I only have one round!”
slap!
The hand that was reaching for the golden brown rice cake was stopped by Kim Seong-hoon’s palm.
“Kim Ji-su! My mom did it because she worked hard all morning. “I can’t help you.”
“Did dad make it? Looking at the puffy eyes, it looks like he just woke up like me. “Mom, can I have one?”
“Mom told Jisoo to eat separately.”
“After all, it’s just my mom. “Mom-chan!”
Jisoo quickly picks up the donggeurangttaeng and eats it.
“But Mom, what is all this since morning? Are you having a party somewhere today?”
“Today, Kook, let’s go to the filming set.”
“At the filming site?!”
Jisoo’s voice becomes louder as her cheeks fill with circles.
“I was told that the morning filming would be over today, so I asked the people I work with to treat me to lunch.”
“Jisoo Kim, stop eating now and wash up quickly. “If this continues, I’ll be late for school.”
Seong-Hoon Kim notices a strange current and follows Ji-Soo. But before you know it, Jisoo is right next to Lee Hye-sook.
“I will go with you too. “How can Mom carry this much food by herself!”
“Oh my gosh, do you think Dad doesn’t know that Jisoo is just trying to satisfy your selfish desires? “I’ll carry the food, so don’t say anything, but quickly wash up and change into your school uniform.”
“tooth!”
“Sung Hoon, Ji Soo will come with you. Last time I went to Seoul, I felt bad because I couldn’t take Jisoo with me. Mom will call the teacher to tell you that there will be a day off from school today. Jisoo, you should quickly go in, wash up, and change.”
Jisoo bursts into laughter and exclaims, ‘As expected, mom is the best!’ and sticks out her tongue towards Kim Seonghoon. Kim Seong-hoon hurriedly tried to grab Ji-soo by the scruff of her neck, but she had already run away.

Autumn equinox.
With the cool weather signaling fall, fallen leaves begin to turn colorful.
The length of night and day became the same, and the filming schedule was already looking towards the latter part of the day.
“Cut~!”
A cheerful voice resonates at the filming site. The ‘Mermaid Prince’ filming team had a series of happy days.
The viewership ratings for the main broadcast, which had already passed the halfway point, were soaring through the roof as each episode continued.
What’s more, didn’t it spread by word of mouth? Even beyond the sea to a foreign country.
“England, do you have a moment?”
This was after monitoring was over. Producer Kim Woo-hyung carefully called England over.
“PD, why?”
“TBK and CCT are coming today, but since the head of the division is coming in person, he said he will come to Busan with the deputy director.”
“At TBK and CCT?”
They were representative broadcasters in Japan and China, respectively. What’s more, isn’t it said that the famous producer, who was promoted to deputy director of MBS’ drama department, is said to have come down directly?
It was a series of things I had never experienced in my past life. This is because in most cases, when overseas broadcasting companies import copyrights, there is exchange between broadcasting stations, but there is almost no case of visiting the filming site one by one.
“From what the Deputy Director said, the officials there seem to be interested in meeting you in person. “It looks like you’re a big fan?”
“What are you two whispering about?”
“Yeonsu, please show your presence. “Be surprised.”
Producer Kim Woo-hyung is heartbroken at the sudden appearance of Yeon-soo.
“Oh really. I guess it must have been an amazing story to be so surprised. “What were you talking about with your brother, PD?”
As England tries to open his mouth, PD Kim Woo-hyung urgently covers his mouth. Then he raises his index finger and points to his lips.
As England nodded briefly, PD Kim Woo-hyung took a deep breath. Seeing that, Yeonsu becomes even more curious and listens.
“Actually, I haven’t told anyone on the staff yet. What good would there be in spreading the rumor that it was from TBK or CCT? Instead, I just feel nervous. Still, I’m glad that he didn’t come during filming, perhaps because the deputy director took the time. The filming schedule is over for today anyway. “I think you two and I can meet separately with the Deputy Director and TBK CCT officials.”
It was then.
Luxury cars began to line up at the filming site. The FD who was controlling the filming scene hurriedly ran out, waving his hand in the air.
This was to prevent outsiders from entering. But soon the rear seat mirror of the car rolls down and I urgently lower my head to the face I see.
The UK stands out in its appearance.
“It looks like noblemen aren’t good enough.”
The staff is buzzing at the sight of people getting out of luxury cars.
One of them was a famous producer who was famous for his rapid promotion, which no MBS drama department employee would have known, and the other two had distinct characteristics that even strangers could tell were Chinese and Japanese.
PD Kim Woo-hyung hurriedly walks towards them.
“Deputy Director!”
England also nodded briefly towards Yeonsu and walked together. After all, aren’t these people who came from China and Japan directly to see them?
“Jaang Yeongguk!”
The head of a Chinese broadcasting company calls England’s name in broken Korean and holds hands.
The head of the Japanese broadcasting company also calls Britain’s name with the same pronunciation as if he can’t lose.
“nice to meet you. “You can speak comfortably.”
England greeted the two people in Cantonese and Japanese, respectively.
These were languages I learned from time to time as I worked frequently overseas for the past three years.
They were happy and even hugged England when they spoke in their native language.
On the other hand, not only the famous deputy director but also PD Kim Woo-hyung and Yeon-soo seemed surprised when England freely spoke Cantonese and Japanese.
* * *
Since the filming schedule scheduled for today was also over, I originally planned to go to a high-end Korean restaurant reserved in Haeundae and talk about business.
However, everyone stopped in their tracks due to Jisoo Lee Hye-sook and Kim Seong-hoon arriving soon after.
“mother?”
England ran out in surprise when he saw Jisoo and Kim Seonghoon coming with their bundles of clothes.
“What are you doing here?”
My mother, who was starting to feel full, answered, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.
“I thought we had never served food on your filming set, so we prepared some food and brought enough food for all the staff and actors to eat.”
“What if someone who needs to take care of themselves cooks this much?”
“Hey, I know this much. On the contrary, since my mother rests every day, I have to be able to endure the pain.”
“Oppa, the backseat is full of mom’s food. “Why don’t you bring some?”
One day, his mother said that she would give a treat to the staff members who worked hard for her son on set. But I never dreamed that that day would be today.
A famous and quick-witted PD grasps the situation and talks to the head of TBK CCT. At that time, the head of CCT, a Chinese broadcasting company, approached England with a cheerful voice and a smile.
“If it’s okay with you, Mr. England, can we have a meal together? I heard that Mr. Young’s mother prepared the food herself, but I have never tried Korean home cooking before.”
“Me too.”
The general manager of Japanese broadcasting company TBK joins in to help. Suddenly, the filming site became like a picnic. Everyone sits together in small groups, spreads out mats, and unfolds lunch boxes.
There was so much food that my mother cooked that even though there were dozens of people, there seemed to be no shortage at all.
“It’s really delicious. “Your mother’s skills are truly amazing!”
CCT’s general manager tastes the food and gives a cheerful laugh and a thumbs up. As if these were not empty words, he continued to eat as if inhaling food.
The same goes for TBK’s general manager. As the head of CCT continued to talk with England, he seemed to feel like he was being pushed back and repeatedly praised the food.
When I translated the compliment and told it to my family, my father laughed and said, “Of course, someone made it.” Jisoo adds, “My father didn’t even help.”
Thanks to this, there were smiles at the dinner table and my mother’s shoulders lifted up.
How much time has passed?
“Does Miss Yeon have a boyfriend?”
The meal was coming to an end. The head of CCT asked Yeonsu in English.
Yeonsu, who was sitting quietly next to her mother, was startled by the question. However, the head of the department immediately elaborates on whether he intends to listen to the answer or not.
“If not, what about my son? “I’m currently studying abroad at a university in Korea, and I think he’s a really nice guy.”
This guy?
England turned his head and looked at the head of CCT. I wondered if there was something else on his mind, but only a curious look was evident on his plump face. It seemed like she really liked Yeonsu as a daughter-in-law.
“Last time I saw it, they said the scandal article was unfounded. Actually, I’m suggesting this because my son is a huge fan of Miss Yeon. I am a big fan of Mr. Jang. In my heart, if I had a daughter, I would like to have Mr. Jang as my son-in-law. Well, what do you think of my suggestion? “If you like Miss Yeon, I can introduce you right away.”
PD Kim Woo-hyung was shaking his head and watching, and Yeon-soo also looked troubled. Since they refused right away, it seems like they were looking for a buyer to import overseas copyrights.
At that moment, Jisoo, who was quietly eating next to her, shouted as if she understood English.
“No!”
