38 – Conflict? (1)

Seol So-yeong has risen to the ranks of Korea’s top actors with just two works.

Just looking at the awards she received last year proves that fact, appearing in numerous advertisements for Jeil Electronics and cosmetic brands.

Also, she donated half of her down payment from the advertisement to her underprivileged neighbors and children’s foundation, showing her kind heart, and her popularity is enormous.

Well… If you’re pretty, good at acting, and even have a good heart, but you’re not popular, that’s weird.

That’s why it means that it’s only natural that casting proposals rain down on dramas and movies.

Actually, I had no particular complaints about her appearing in her other works.

Think about it honestly.

What if I tell her to limit her appearances in other works, and ask her to appear only in my works?

As it is, it’s a scary story from the other side’s point of view.

Of course I know what Seol So-young is, but it’s safe to say that the other side knows very little about me.

But it’s suspicious that a writer I don’t know has cast herself as the lead role right from her unknown days. ….

Isn’t this just like openly declaring that you have dark feelings?

Anyway.

I am not a machine that can continuously produce scripts like a factory, and from my point of view there is no reason to restrict her appearance in other works.

However, if it is that drama that suddenly pops into my head, I need to think a little about her casting.

“Eunwoo must have heard of it. White Box is a famous top-class drama production company in Korea. What… Last year, he was completely pushed out by us, so he must have had a bit of a hard time.”

“Write… A casting offer came from the white box…. By any chance, the title of the drama that Soyoung was offered to be cast in isn’t ‘The Devil’s Temptation’, right?”

“What? Did you know? It’s still in the planning stage, so it must be top-secret information.”

My eyes widened as if I was a little surprised that I knew the title of the drama.

…… Every know

That drama will probably be the worst drama for Seol So-yeong.

「Devil’s Temptation」

Genre: action, crime thriller.

The story takes place when the main character, Oh Harim, joins the state secret service to catch the killer who killed her father. Oh Ha-rim meets his partner ‘Kim Ye-rim’ there and overcomes various difficulties together and becomes his best duo. Eventually, the final dark scene of this drama, ‘Byun Yo-han’ blocks their way, and Oh Ha-rim realizes that he is the culprit who killed her father.

This is the synopsis of the drama I know of called Temptation of the Devil.

As much as White Box has sharpened its teeth, it receives tremendous attention from the production stage.

In addition, the actor who played the role of ‘Byeon Yo-han’, the final dark scene, is among the first-class actors……

“They said that the casting of ‘Yoo Byung-min’, who already has a reputation for acting as a villain, has been completed.”

Yoo Byung-min.

A talented actor who has gone through many works from his mid-20s to his early-mid 30s and ranks among the top actors.

It could be said that his crazy eyes, as if he had taken drugs, and his murderous smile that stopped the viewer’s breath were his unrivaled identity.

But I know.

That unrivaled identity comes only from taking real drugs…….

Yes.

‘The Devil’s Temptation’, an ambitious project by White Box, is ruined when Yoo Byung-min is investigated for drug charges.

In addition, at the actors’ dinner party, Byung-Min Yoo hands Seol So-Young, who seemed to have a lot of worries, a cigarette from her, saying that the moment she blooms, her thoughts disappear.

Giving cigarettes to a teenager is also crazy, and even that cigarette is marijuana. As the setting of the world in the drama is, it is really absurd.

Of course, he was not a great person to accept what Seol So-young gave him.

However, unlike now, Seol So-yeong was in a state of psychological concentration.

Her own acting problems, her mother’s unresolved illness, and so on.

So, Seol So-yeong decides to keep it instead of throwing it away. She only realizes the identity of it when she hears that Yoo Byung-min is under investigation for drug charges.

But at that time, Yoo Byung-min had already confessed everything. He didn’t want to go to Hell alone, so he coolly testified to the fact that he handed her cannabis to Seol So-young.

In the end, Seol So-yeong was investigated by the police to confirm whether she had inhaled cannabis.

Fortunately, she didn’t even mention it, and she was cleared of the charges given that she had received it from Byung-Min Yoo, but her perception in the public eye had already fallen to the bottom, just like Byung-Min Yoo.

This is another unforeseen incident and accident that happens to her in her original work.

The strange thing here is that Temptation of the Devil is originally planned in the second half of this year, and the regular airing will be around January next year.

In other words, the timing was much earlier than the original. And the reason for this could be roughly guessed from what I, PD-nim, just said.

[What… Last year, he must have had a bit of a hard time because he was completely pushed by us.]

The other side of the forehead must also feel a sense of crisis while watching Studio Enmix, which is solidifying its position as the number one player in the drama industry.

This is definitely a good competition phenomenon that activates the drama market……

Why is there a land mine named Yoo Byung-min stuck between them?

A sigh comes out of nowhere.

First of all, it is not yet clear whether Seol So-yeong will accept her casting offer, and even if she does, she is not as psychologically driven as the original, so I have no idea how the flow will flow.

Um. Still, if you assume the worst…….

“Me, PD. What would happen if something bad happened to So-young now?”

“Ah, the dating rumor with the writer won’t hurt much. Wouldn’t everyone cheer for the good men and women meeting each other? There are quite a few people betting on that coin even inside Studio Enmix.”

“???”

My PD-nim smiles carefreely at me.

Suddenly, what kind of bullsh*t is this?

“Sorry. Judging by the expression, it doesn’t seem that way. If it’s a bad case for an actor, there’s a lot of controversy about personality. But Miss Soyoung isn’t that kind of person… Assuming the worst, it must be unlucky to be involved in the crime.”

In an instant, PD-nim, I, became serious.

“…… Do you have any guesses?”

“Oh, no. It’s just that the world is a little bit ugly these days. I wonder if So-Young now should be very careful.”

“Hmm, that’s right. We will protect her as much as we can in our studio and mixes, but there are always what-ifs.”

My PD-nim thought about it for a while, and eventually gave me an answer to my first question.

“Writer. What would happen if a wave suddenly crashed into the carefully built sandcastle?”

“…… It will collapse.”

“Yes. No matter how well Soyoung is now recognized in the world, the entertainment industry is a place where one huge wave collapses miserably. It would be best to pray that such things do not happen around Miss Soyoung. Or not…… “

Prevent her advance or prevent her waves from sweeping her.

I came back home and it seemed like the last words PD-nim Na said to me kept ringing in my head.

Prevent an injustice from happening to Seol So-yeong.

This is something I’ve done before.

Her mother, Mrs. Lee Hwa-young, after all, the reason she underwent surgery was because of me.

At that time, Seol So-yeong asked for help first, so I acted as if it was natural.

Then now…… ?

Why am I so worried about her problem?

Because she proudly declared that she would take responsibility for her acting life? Are you simply worried about her getting involved in a drug case?

Even if she gets entangled in this drug case anyway, Seol So-young will rise again as soon as she did in her original story.

It’s even easier now that her mother is with her.

…… The truth is vaguely known.

Before and now.

It is contradictory for me to think about Seol So-young like this.

It means that from that point on, I was already looking at her as a woman, not as a character in her drama.

A bitter smile came naturally. And at the Cheongsang Arts Awards, she remembered Seol So-young, who was smiling a little while thinking of someone on stage.

Yes. I’m still not sure what this heart is, but right now I just……

Wouldn’t that be enough reason to want to keep an eye on her that little smile and her happiness?

I hurriedly picked up her cell phone and sent her a text.

Of course…….

[Soyoung. Please decline the drama casting offer from Whitebox.]

I might hate her a little for this one.
