97 – Seol Soyoung (1)

Seo Eun-woo is the author of 927.

Seol So-young.

When was the last time she was convinced of this?

When he first presented the script for Dreaming Children?

When you happened to be assigned a seat next to him because your name was close, and you watched him throughout class?

Maybe it was when you helped yourself out of exhaustion after the entrance ceremony, or when you heard a voice that felt similar to you, or maybe it was the moment when you met each other for the first time and exchanged greetings.

In fact, there were plenty of reasons to convince the other person, and at the same time, to Seol So-young, the reason was not that important.

The important thing is that Seol So-young has already made a certain conclusion within herself, and even if he denies it, there will be no change in that conviction.

If there was no such conviction in the first place, there would have been no reason to change the ending of Dreaming Children, and there would have been no reason to readily give up the role of the main character, Kim Mi-so, to Lee Da-hye.

In that sense, Seol So-young was a little surprised.

Dahye Lee.

Seol So-yeong knew how brilliant she was, but she didn’t know that she could be like this.

The bright light that Lee Da-hye showed on stage today is her own talent. She may feel that way even more because she has been given a role that is perfect for her.

So, to be honest, she was a little jealous.

Originally, she got the right role from him because she was always herself.

But contrary to her feelings, I was also grateful to Lee Da-hye.

Because……

The more she shines on her stage, the more her people fall in love with her own performance.

Seol So-young remembered.

Dreaming Children: For some reason, it is Moon Yeon-woo, not the main character Kim Mi-so, who decorates the end of this work.

So, it was Seol So-yeong who always stood on stage until the end, and thanks to that, she could always see his face as he quietly watched the stage during her practice.

It was only for a moment, but each time his face showed a bit of regret.

Seol So-young knows the original ending he drew, so she sympathizes with the reason why he was disappointed.

In fact, there is not much difference between the lines spoken by Moon Yeon-woo before and after the revision of the ending.

It’s just that they spit out the words and ask for some kind of emotion, which is different.

However, the aftertaste felt by the audience will be vastly different.

Because, even when Seol So-young thought, she felt that the ending before revision was much more artistic.

Then why?

Did he dare to revise the ending in a way that would detract from the quality of the work?

I think it’s probably because the focus was on the part of the youth theater festival.

He may have compromised himself by saying this to himself over and over again.

At best, it’s a youth theater festival.

It’s just a youth theater festival.

Dreaming Children is not the author of 927, but Seo Eun-woo, a high school student.

If you create a work that is far beyond the level of a student, of course there will be people who doubt your identity.

In the first place, he is extremely reluctant to let his identity known to the world.

…… But that’s it.

I don’t think there is such a thing as an eternal secret in the world.

Someday, by some reason or accident, it may be known to the world that the author of 927 is Seo Eun-woo.

At that time, people will evaluate dreaming children like this.

It’s a bit disappointing for a work created by the author of 927.

And this is what the 927 artist himself, who loves his work more than anyone else, thinks so the most, and will regret it in the end.

So…….

‘Don’t worry too much.’

Everything that happens from now on is only your own opinion.

Because I know very well that I am responsible for all of that.

“… ….”

Seol So-yeong slowly lifted her head and looked at her in front.

From this moment on, until the end of the performance, she was no longer Seol So-young.

The girl standing alone on stage is Kim Mi-so’s childhood friend, and the other main character of these dreaming children……

Moon Yeon-woo.

And with her appearance, somewhere in the audience……

“hahahaha. It’s really nice that you came to see the show today. That’s how it’s like you, Soyoung.”

As if he had been waiting for this moment, Namgoong-hwan, who played Seol So-yeong’s counterpart in Welcome Café Violet, was smiling with a fluttering smile.

“…… It seems my intuition was correct.”

Similarly, Director Go Dong-bin, who felt a strange air flow from her, was also looking at her stage with an incomprehensible smile.

All of Seol So-young’s acting skills shown to the public so far have been recorded with a camera.

In other words, very few people have seen her “Real” Acting live.

Now that it is only the audience, everyone will slowly realize it.

Why is Seol So-yeong, a young actress, able to appear as the main character in all of 927’s works? ….

In the concert hall, which has been immersed in the lingering afterglow of Lee Da-hye’s song, it falls into silence in an instant with Seol So-young’s appearance.

If an ordinary actor is immersed in his own acting and immersed in the character, Seol So-young is the exact opposite.

Although it seems thoroughly calculated, as if leaving it to your inner instincts.

Seol So-young’s acting simply immerses the viewer.

When you see her acting, which is a mixture of her unique atmosphere, such as her face, lines, voice, and gestures, you will feel that her soul is completely lost. Maybe she forgot to breathe for a moment at that moment.

And in the process, her audience will realize at once what kind of feelings she is currently harboring.

She sent away her precious friend Kim Mi-so,

The deep sadness that a girl named Moon Yeon-woo is feeling…….

— … It’s a smile

Before long, Seol So-yeong uttered her lines and the dreaming children entered the finale.

At the same time……

It was the sound announcing that Seol So-yeong’s solo performance had begun.

***

What kind of character is Moon Yeon-woo in Dreaming Children?

Though they are three main characters, they are the smallest among them, and if you look only at the impact from the middle to the latter half, they are virtually no different from the supporting characters.

However, because of the last scene, I thought that Moon Yeon-woo could be cast in the lead role, and as soon as Seol So-yeong uttered her first line, I got a little goosebumps.

It was because the emotions she was currently harboring were conveyed so clearly.

That’s right…….

Obviously sad.

Originally, the emotion that Moon Yeon-woo should have in the last scene should have been closer to hope, the opposite of that.

In her dream, Miso Kim wished.

I hope that my friends will no longer grieve over their deaths, that they will quickly forget themselves and move on… ….

Moon Yeon-woo is Kim Mi-so’s closest and best friend.

A friend who laughs together, jokes with each other, sometimes fights when we disagree, reconciles in an instant, and sometimes acts as if a friend is helping someone innocently as if it were their own.

Because they were so close to each other, Moon Yeon-woo knew better than anyone else what his friend wanted to say and what he wanted to convey when his friend appeared even in his dreams.

That’s why Moon Yeon-woo monologues with a bitter smile.

You are always reckless. I couldn’t figure it out. I don’t know why I live with so much loss.

At first, it starts with a light curse on Gimmiso. It was a kind of grumbling.

Until now, Moon Yeon-woo was caught up in a lot with a person named Kim Mi-so, and he went through a lot of things, both good and bad.

If I had known in advance that she was going to die, I might have gone to her right away and spit out her rapid-fire gun like now.

But at the same time, Moon Yeon-woo understands his friend Kim Mi-so. The fact that there is someone who has seen some kind of light in a person named Kim Mi-so.

So, in the end, only understanding remains.

Moon Yeon-woo decides to forget her sadness as her friend wishes, no longer chasing her friend’s light, and just moving forward with the new bonds she has created.

Surely, it is a hopeful promise to Kim Mi-so, who must be watching her somewhere.

Yes. Finally, there is no more sadness in this story.

…… Obviously it should have been.

I instinctively felt the moment I felt so heavy and deep emotions in Seol So-young’s acting.

A completely different ending awaits at the end of this play.

I wasn’t the only one who felt the sudden change.

“Soyoung-ah… ….”

Da-hye Da-hye, who stood next to me after finishing her own stage, and all of her theater and film club members, including her, held their breath and looked toward her stage.

Unlike the audience, these are the people who have seen the ending of Dreaming Children more than anyone else. Of course, Seol So-yeong’s acting now feels very different from the practice and preliminaries.

But I don’t know what kind of ending awaits at the end.

…… It sounds natural.

In the first place, that ending was the story before the script was revised.

It is the original ending of Dreaming Children, and the ending that only I should have known.

I looked back at Seol So-yeong performing her act on stage, and her fists clenched involuntarily.

It’s not because of my mood…….

Looking at her now on stage, it was as if she was asking me a question.

As a screenwriter, are you truly satisfied with the ending after revision, and will you really regret it?

And why the hell are you?

Did he show me such a lovely face before he finally got into acting?

I just thought it was a bit ironic.

I don’t know how you know the original ending I drew, but what is clear is that Seol So-young doesn’t have to do it for me, whom I met for the first time this year.

However, if the target is another “Me,” The story will probably be very different.

“…… You noticed.”

I uttered those words quietly and looked at Seol So-yeong again.

I just kept watching as if I was possessed by something.

…… It had to be.
