chapter 37
A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 37
Director Park Kang-hoon of <Can Love Be Refunded?> was having days of regret.
I should have gone to Ji So-young for the role of ‘Eom Yeon-jung’, but I blame myself for not pushing harder…
“Cut! Wait. Let’s take a break for a while.”
He was already filming the same scene for the tenth time.
It was a scene where the main character, Eun-ha Ko, withdrew the deposit to pay for her father’s hospital bill, and her best friend, Yeon-jung Eom, was beaten.
Oh, I’m really going crazy
Park Kang-hoon approached Ha Ju-kyung while holding down the anger rising from within.
“Hey, Mr. Ha Joo-kyung.”
“yes.”
The impression of Ha Joo-kyung, who answered in a short break, was wrinkled.
“Even though the emotions are second to none, the lines are not conveyed at all. My pronunciation is so muffled that I can’t even hear what is being said. Exactly, please.”
“No, it was said a while ago that his emotions were too flat and his speech was slow. That’s why I’m getting angry and handling the lines quickly, so I can’t help but get crushed. This and that, where the hell do you want the rhythm to fit?”
Ha Joo-kyung was truly a no-brainer. I trust only Park Won-mi, a middle-aged actress who is her mother.
Park Won-mi is currently the vice-president of the Korean Actors Association, and she earned a lot of money from multi-level and real estate. He also had strong personal connections, but rumors had it that he was not alone with high-ranking politicians he was close with.
In a word, Park Won-mi was powerful enough to put her daughter Ha Joo-kyung in a drama with ignorance.
Park Kang-hoon pressed down the hot anger rising from his chest.
“This is not an observation camera. If it’s a drama, shouldn’t you show your emotions to the viewers so that they know what’s going on right now and how the character is feeling. But Mr. Ju-kyung’s pronunciation says I can’t hear what he’s saying.”
“How is my pronunciation? I can hear you just fine.”
“Do it right!”
“Oh, you did the same thing a while ago!!!”
Ha Joo-kyung poured out an attitude that no other actor would dare to dare to do on the set.
Park Kang-hoon went beyond regret and even felt a sense of shame.
I wasn’t in charge of this drama.
I didn’t miss Ji So-young.
<Is Love Refundable?> was a Titanic on the verge of sinking, no, it was just a boat with a hole in the bottom.
At that time, writer Hyo-eun Kim approached. before the two of them grabbed each other.
“Look at me for a second, Director.”
She took Kang-Hoon Park to the corner of the set.
“Director. We’re really going to be ruined by this. Either get rid of Yeon-jeong Um’s lines, or keep it short with a short answer.”
“Then… it’s not easy to convince viewers of the situation. Eom Yeon-jung is not a small station…”
“You just have to deal with the main character’s narration. That is the only answer.”
“Narration…”
“If our drama goes on like this, there will be explosions and only Ha Joo-kyung’s bald acting will be left. Director, here.”

Kim Hyo-eun presented a copy of the new script. It was a revised version that was hastily edited out of a sense of crisis that the drama might become a target for ridicule.
Park Kang-hoon opened the revised version and checked the scene he was filming. The dialogue of ‘Eom Yeon-jeong’, which was over five lines, was shortened with an exclamation.
“Yeah, this would be better. Avoid even the worst.”
He made up his mind and immediately went back to Ha Joo-kyung. She was paying attention to her appearance, tinkering with her puffy hair and luxury clothes that didn’t match her friend ‘Eom Yeon-jeong’.
It was really up to you from one to ten.
“Hey, Joo-kyung.”
“yes.”
“I had a discussion with the writer… I think it would be better to shorten the lines of Yeon-jung Eom a little. It is said that emotions are conveyed through facial expressions.”
“···yes? What do you mean?”
Park Kang-hoon silently presented the revised version, and Ha Joo-kyung, who checked his amount, began to bite the foam.
“what! This is just an exclamation point!”
She stared at Park Kang-hoon for a moment with tears in her eyes, and then walked away. The cold wind on the eve of the storm blew once.
Park Kang-hoon had to close his eyes tightly to draw an unbearable seal.
“No, there is something like that! Where is the new blue rookie talking to the director?”
“Director, are you going to leave it like this?”
“We can’t take it any longer.”
“In a little while, I will hang up my mother hippo and run to her.”
The staff and actors who were watching were also reaching the limit of their patience.
“I am crazy. You said you were going to shoot a drama with a parachute like that.”
Whenever Park Kang-hoon regretted seeing Joo-kyung Ha, who had not done it, he thought of Ji So-young. Even if there was a chance that he would give up his position as director, he should have chosen Ji So-young at the audition. If I had, I wouldn’t have been like this…
He lowered his head as if blaming himself, and sighed as the ground shook.
After a while,
As expected, Park Won-mi blew out a rough nose and stormed into the filming set.
“Where is Director Park?”
Director Park closed his eyes tightly.
Oh what a headache! I really want to hit them all!
Park Won-mi ran to Park Kang-hoon as if he was about to hit him.
“Director Park! Who is Director Park? It’s a mess after reducing my daughter’s portion!”
“Teacher. That’s not it… This scene is the most important in the drama…”
“no! So what do you mean my daughter’s acting is messed up?”
“Acting is also acting, but the dialogue itself is not delivered…”
“What is he saying now. Isn’t Director Park deaf? I can’t hear what I can’t hear And if there are not enough new actors, you should know how to improve your skills while teaching them. Who is all-American from the start??”
Park Kang-hoon just kept his mouth shut.
Because I’m tired of talking to myself without listening.
“Don’t be silly, restore our daughter’s ambassador to its original state. Do you know how much money I spent on this drama? If it wasn’t me, it was a drama that wouldn’t even start from the beginning. know? Director Park, if you don’t want to be cut in the middle, you better do it straight.”
“…”
Park Kang-hoon’s whole body trembled.
Going beyond regrets, while feeling myself becoming exhausted.
‘You are getting a good price for rejecting Ji So-young.’
<Is Love Can Be Refunded>, which was put on wrong from the first button due to a fraudulent audition, was falling apart like that.

Even after I went to the set to cool my head, ‘Jung Joo-hak’ did not come out easily.
“Jung Joo-hak, Jeong Joo-hak. Where the hell are you hiding?”
Even if you stare at the laptop screen while walking around the narrow rooftop room,
When you order an expensive meal and watch your favorite movie,
Take a bath, get a haircut, put on nice clothes and wear perfume,
Even if you read and study thick hardcover books,
There was no ‘Jeongjuhak’.
No matter what he did, Opalju’s final villain, ‘Jeong Ju-hak’, had no intention of appearing.
I also wrote 150 bloody points. I thought it would be nice to keep revising while looking at the revised version. But to no avail.
The channel only picked up the points and gave no clue about ‘Jung Ju-hak’.
It was frustrating and felt like going crazy.
“Aigoo~~~ I’m going to kill it.
yelled. It’s fortunate that it’s a secluded rooftop room.
at that time,
Gying-
The channel responded. As if he had heard my desperate voice.
As the screen brightened, [Sudden Mission] appeared.
“Ha~ It’s been a while.”
To change my mood, I put down ‘Jeongjuhak’ for a while and sat in front of the channel.
[Sudden Mission – Prior research is essential for writers.]
[Access the helper app and complete the four errands.]
[50 points for each errand. Additional 300 points will be paid when all four errands are completed.]
[The completion period is 24 hours from now.]
The mission was to run four errands at the errand center.
It was not difficult to understand as Right-Arm Co., Ltd. was the place to run such errands.
“I can’t write even if I sit at my desk anyway, so I need to earn some points. It was a waste to spend 150 points in vain, but it turned out well.”
To make up for the points I wasted on replaying the revised version five times, and to conduct preliminary research on the errand center, as the channel says,
Not bad for what I’m doing now.
No, to be honest, it was a pretty good sudden mission. I also liked the provision that an additional 300 points would be given if all four errands were completed within 24 hours.
“If you do, it’s 500 points. First, forget about ‘Jung Joo-hak’ and focus on the mission. It’s just one day.”
It’s been a while since I felt so frustrated and tired that I felt like I was going to die, but I suddenly felt uplifted.
It’s true that people cheat like this.
First, I turned on my phone and looked for the helper app. Then, after entering personal information and registering as a member, I went to the errand request page.
To complete four errands in one day, speed is vital, so I hurried.
There were dozens of posts asking for help.
[Request for presentation background]
‘I think it will take a lot of time.’
Skip.
[Who will lend you money]
‘There’s a lot of aggro. If you don’t meet people like this, you won’t be able to do all the errands, so you have to be careful.’
Skip.
[Please follow me]
‘what? Pervert?’
Skip.

[Please pull out my gray hair in the park]
‘Ugh, the world is strange.’

The only errands I could get right now were accompany me on the way home and participate in a psychology experiment.
It seemed like I would have to do those two once and find the other two again.
“You have to catch it before someone else steals it. First on the way home.”
When I clicked [I am looking for someone to accompany me on the way home from work at night – Geumsan Milky Way Complex Area], more detailed information came out.
[Request: Wait around 11:30 pm at the Geumsan Eunhasu Complex Station apartment stop, and when I get off the bus no. 375, you can accompany me to my house. Cost: 10,000 won]
“It’s a good time. It’s 11 o’clock now, so I can leave right away.”
Things were going well. The place and time were perfect from the first errand.
I quickly clicked the helper request button.

[Youn Jae-ho has been registered as a helper.]
Then a message appeared saying that he was selected as a helper.
“done. It would be a good idea to register for participation in the psychology experiment before everyone else takes it away.”
[Part-time job participation in psychology experiment – Tomorrow at 10:00 am, required time: 2 hours] Pressed firmly, and detailed information appeared again this time.
[Request] Department of Psychotherapy, Graduate School of Specialized Therapy, Sunkwang University. A study on the effect of color on humans. The target audience is men and women over the age of 20. 2 hours required. 40,000 won in execution cost. 10 a.m. tomorrow]
I pressed the helper request button again this time,

[Yoon Jae-ho has been registered as a helper]
I was able to get the job done without a problem.
“This is also done. Complete two errands by tomorrow morning, and two more in the afternoon. A perfect plan.”
From the first errand, I went straight to the Geumsan Milky Way complex to perform.
