42 – Part 3 (2)

“So? Suddenly, while talking about the script, why did you say you wanted to come here? It’s 30 minutes from the headquarters, so it doesn’t really matter.”

“Um… I just want to see you after a long time.”

“…… ?”

Currently, I was walking down the streets of Itaewon with Yongseok hyung.

The reason I visited this place was just to recall old memories for a while.

The drama production company I was involved in in my previous life was in Itaewon.

This place is quite familiar to me.

However, although paradoxically familiar, it always feels new.

People of various races and free people, you will naturally feel that way while walking on this street that seems to have compressed the world.

So, in my previous life, I wanted to write a script set in this free place, and the script that was born was ‘Itaewon Revolution’.

[Itaewon Revolution]

The main character, Kang-cheol, who pursues his own values, starts a business in an alley in Itaewon with like-minded colleagues. Itaewon Revolution is a youth drama depicting their founding myth.

In my previous life, this script was turned into a drama by accident.

Probably, it would have been a drama that could not have been born without a man named Kim Jin-cheol running around the station all day and persuading his superiors.

For reference, the main character of this script, Kang-cheol, drew the ‘me’ who wants to become.

In the face of inevitable hardships and adversities, never stop or bend, only move forward and eventually achieve what you want.

However, Kang Chul isn’t that smart, befitting the main character, nor is he particularly gifted.

It’s just poisonous.

As its name suggests, it is a hard poisonous tumor.

Remembering the early part of Steel, I smiled bitterly.

Yes. Maybe there was a scene like this…….

Cheol Kang, who can’t stand injustice and punches at school, is sentenced to be expelled from school. But that night, his father, ‘Kang Baek-woo’, cheered his son up by saying that it was okay, and that he was cool even though he was my son.

And for the first time in his life, Kang Chul receives a glass of soju from his father. Kang Chul inhaled it with half curiosity and half resentment, and his eyes widened in surprise.

At that time, Kang Chul expressed the taste of alcohol he tasted for the first time in his life like this.

“Maybe I said it was sweet… ….”

It’s funny how soju makes you frown when you drink it.

However, this is my experience.

I also had more difficult moments than good moments when I started my life as the youngest writer.

Like Kang Chul, there were many unfair things and absurd grunts.

To be honest, he continued to go through such things and lived with negative emotions for the first year.

Then one day, his father led me with a dark expression to a restaurant in an alley.

There, my father comforted me by saying something similar to Kang Baek-woo from ‘Itaewon Revolution’.

And for the first time, he poured me a glass of soju, and for some reason, it was really sweet. To the extent that I didn’t feel the usual bitter taste.

My father smiled brightly at me when I expressed that the taste of alcohol was strange and said this.

‘That’s how you endured a difficult day today. You’re doing well, so keep doing that.’

…… He was a good father

You were so busy every day that you went to work even on the weekends, but I know that the reason was family.

Even when I said I was going to become a drama writer, my father was happy to support me.

Anyway.

‘Itaewon Revolution’ is a very meaningful drama to me.

In my previous life, I only watched the first episode aired, but here, I’ll be able to watch the last episode as well.

It was then.

“What is so sweet?”

Suddenly, Yongseok hyung, who was next to me, asked me curiously.

I must have heard a voice whispering to me.

I answered the question with a grin.

“I just want to drink soju after a long time.”

“…… ? What do you mean you’re still in middle school?”

“Ah.”

The bone-piercing Yongseok realized the cruel reality at his brother’s words.

There are still three and a half years left until you become an adult…….

***

It didn’t take long to write a new script because it was originally written once.

Hmm, I guess it took about 5 days?

Once I finished the script, I immediately sent a copy to PD Na.

And the day after I sent the email, I visited Studio Enmix headquarters after finishing school……

“I thought I could do it in just 5 days…… “

For some reason, PD Na is shedding tears in a corner of the room.

I carefully asked director Park Yong-oh the reason in a whisper.

“It seems like you are resenting the writer for not showing it now when you can create an amazing script for Itaewon Revolution in an instant… Well, just ignore it.”

Uh… I didn’t know the situation would become this serious, but what can I do? hahahaha.

“So that’s the main point. The reason I called the writer today is because of the casting.”

“Do you want to go straight to production?”

“Yes. Given the circumstances, the sooner the better. First of all, the female lead is ‘Yoo Ara’, but is she the actress I have in mind?”

I nodded as if it were natural.

If ‘Kang Cheol’ is an ordinary criminal, ‘Yoo Ara’ is a perfect genius in contrast.

Sentimental and passionate, and completely opposite in personality. Yooara, who has a strong sociopathic tendency, is a rational and cold person. Of course, they are attracted to each other because they are opposites.

Anyway, I could only think of one actor who would fit the role of Yuara.

“If So-Young accepts her casting offer, she decides to be her.”

“I also think he suits the role of Yuara well. But the author seems to like him very much.”

“… ?”

“He is also the only person to appear as the lead in all three of the author’s works. There are only roles suitable for him to the extent that each work is suspicious, so doubts are bound to arise.”

“…… Uh.”

But this is really just a coincidence?

In the first place, ‘Itaewon Revolution’ was a script I had written in my previous life, so it was natural.

It’s just that in this era, she is the only actress that fits the character of ‘Yoo Ara’.

“Why are you looking so flustered? It was a joke. Ha ha ha.”

“Yeah, right?”

Seeing Director Park Yong-oh laughing loudly, I felt a bit cheap.

Write…….

At least the director Park Yong-oh I know is not the kind of person who would make jokes like this to me. ….

“But in this drama, the male lead ‘Kang Cheol’ seems to have a lot of weight. Who are you thinking of? If there’s no one you really want, we’ll do our best to search.”

“No. Actually, there is one actor that comes to mind right now.”

“Oh? Who is it?”

“That…… “

I pondered for a moment.

He is more upright and passionate than anyone else, who reminds us of the image of ‘steel’. As a bonus, he was also very handsome.

And if you look at acting skills alone, Seol So-yeong for female actors and “Him” For male actors.

He is one of the main characters in the flower-like couple that is the background of the world in this drama.

“Do you know Park Ha-joon?”

“Ah! Are you that friend? He works in the drama industry and I can’t help but not know his name. He is a large-scale new actor who started his activities two years ago and is solidifying his position.”

As of the current age, I am 17 years old.

He was one year older than me and started his acting career at the age of 15 when his outstanding talent was recognized.

Perhaps he is currently attending the entertainment department at Hanbit Art High School, the best art school in Korea.

Of course, at the time of the original work, she would transfer to Yeonggwang High School because of Seol So-young.

…… Yes.

In fact, Park Ha-joon was her best actor who would stand shoulder to shoulder with her in the future, as well as her destined mate.

“Then, shall we contact you? If it’s the work of the 927 writer, I probably wouldn’t refuse a casting offer.”

“Yes… what. Once we put it in and accept it, we make it final.”

If you only look at the perfection of the work, Park Ha-joon was a talent that could not be overlooked.

And he was honestly curious too.

What kind of result would be born if Seol So-young and Park Ha-joon met now? ….

Originally, they appear in a drama together a year later, and a point of contact arises by chance.

However, Seol So-yeong at that time was suffering from the aftereffects of a series of unexpected events.

Seol So-young, who never revealed it on the outside, but knew it on the inside.

Park Ha-joon gave her strength without even realizing it, and they became interested in each other implicitly.

However, Seol So-young has not experienced any injustice because of me.

So, since I had the chance, I should definitely check it out.

I wonder how their fate will play out with my intervention…….
