Chapter 28

If there are no unexpected events, there will be another update in the evening.

Main text:

The TV drama that Sung Yuri is starring in is a work by the Hong sisters, who are a guarantee for ratings. Their previous works, such as "My Love Eun-dong" and "My Girl," were all major hits, so this new historical drama, "The Swift Sword of Hong Gildong," is highly anticipated by everyone.

Moreover, to better craft this drama, the Hong sisters have gathered many famous actors. The male lead is played by Kang Ji-hwan, whose popularity exploded after "Fight! Mr. Kim" in 2005. As for the female lead, Sung Yuri, she is already known as the National Princess of South Korea. In addition, there are a series of well-known supporting actors, such as Jang Geun-suk, Kim Ri-na, and Park Sang-wook. In short, the cast is very strong.

Lee Jong bought coffee, milk tea, and some pizzas, including Sung Yuri's favorite fruit pizza. There's no choice; when visiting the set, you have to cater to their preferences.

Lee Jong had already informed Sung Yuri that he would arrive in the evening and asked her to tell the staff to let him in. However, when Lee Jong arrived, he was still stopped. Sung Yuri had told the staff that the visitor was a disheveled director, but Lee Jong looked more like a rich young man pursuing a female star, except for the lack of a luxury car and the two large bags of food he was carrying.

By the time Sung Yuri finished shooting the scene, Lee Jong had waited for nearly half an hour. Sung Yuri was also surprised to hear that a young man was visiting the set. She hadn't been in contact with any rich people recently, so why would someone visit her? Besides, she hadn't told anyone about this drama except for Lee Jong and her sisters.

After some thought, Sung Yuri decided it was better to go and see. When Sung Yuri saw Lee Jong, she was truly stunned. He was so handsome, so handsome, so mature. When Sung Yuri led Lee Jong into the set, the eyes of the Hong sisters, Hong Jeong-eun and Hong Mi-ran, suddenly lit up with unusual light as they looked at Lee Jong, making him feel like they wanted to eat him.

Sung Yuri introduced the director to Lee Jong. The director, Lee Jeong-seop, was a first-time director, having previously worked as a screenwriter for films and a producer for TV dramas, so he was familiar with the director's role.

At first, seeing Lee Jong's appearance, they thought he might be a model or an unknown actor, and considered giving him a role in the drama to build his reputation. However, after Sung Yuri introduced Lee Jong as a film director who graduated from the directing program at New York University, Lee Jeong-seop became even more interested in him.

Lee Jong's current image was incredibly charming, appealing to both men and women. The Hong sisters hoped to create a TV drama specifically for Lee Jong, but when they learned that he was not only a director but also a screenwriter, their enthusiasm waned. After all, every colleague believes their own work is the best.

Sung Yuri distributed the items Lee Jong bought. It was already quite cold in the evening of November, but the coffee and milk tea were still warm, and the pizzas, which were freshly made, were at the perfect temperature to eat, even after being left for half an hour. Sung Yuri, knowing that Lee Jong was coming, didn't eat much of her boxed meal, especially when she saw the fruit pizza he brought, which was her favorite, her eyes lit up with joy.

Lee Jong accompanied Sung Yuri, eating the fruit pizza and chatting. Sung Yuri talked a lot about the production, mentioning the male lead Kang Ji-hwan, the pretty Jang Geun-suk who looked like a young girl, and then talking about Lee Hyori preparing a new album, asking if Lee Jong could help shoot the MV...

In short, while eating, Sung Yuri chattered non-stop like a little duck, talking and eating, eating and talking.

In the end, Lee Jong fled in a panic under the intense assault of the Hong sisters. They actually told Lee Jong that they would write a script specifically for him, and he could direct it, and they would help him secure funding. Lee Jong was scared stiff by the sisters and quickly said goodbye to Sung Yuri before fleeing.

When Lee Jong returned to the set of "Chaser," everyone was either spitting out water, choking on food, bumping into walls, or standing there in a daze...

"Um... Are you Lee Jong?" asked Jang Hoon, looking at the handsome man in front of him.

"Yes, I'm Lee Jong. Although I know I'm handsome, you don't have to look at me like that, sigh... Hyeong Ji, don't touch me like that," Lee Jong said, looking at everyone's expressions with a hint of helplessness.

What made Lee Jong even more helpless was that after Hyeong Ji touched him, the female crew members started treating him like a celebrity in a wax museum, touching him, taking photos, and asking for autographs, and they wouldn't let him get angry. Whenever he tried to get angry, the girls would look at him with teary eyes...

Lee Jong could only endure the humiliation and be toyed with by the girls. In the end, even Jang Hoon, Kim Yun-seok, and Ha Jung-woo came over to take photos with this rare sight. As a result, no filming was done that night. After everyone finished tormenting Lee Jong, it was already midnight, and Lee Jong, to free himself, directly announced the end of the day.

"Your look today is quite perfect, but you're missing a tie. A dark blue suit with a dark red tie would be a perfect match," Jang Hoon looked at Lee Jong from head to toe, feeling that something was missing, and then realized it.

"Forget it, a tie. I almost didn't make it back alive today," Lee Jong straightened his wrinkled suit...

"True, you're lucky you weren't eaten by those girls... Not to mention, you came back from the TV station," Jang Hoon could imagine the scene at the TV station.

"The TV station was fine, after all, they're all young girls who like pretty boys. But when I visited the set, I almost got stuck with the Hong sisters, who insisted on writing a script for me. I mean, if I want to act, I can write my own script, who knows me better than myself?" Lee Jong complained bitterly...

"That's because they respect you. The Hong sisters have been a guarantee for ratings for years and have launched many top stars. You going there would be a bright future!" Jang Hoon joked.

"Hehe, I can promote myself, I don't need others," Lee Jong felt he wasn't that bad...

"Alright, are you coming with me today?" Jang Hoon looked at the staff who had almost finished cleaning up and were leaving.

"Of course, I have to go with you. Otherwise, how would I get home at this hour of the night? Let's get a car in a couple of days, I feel bad always relying on you," Lee Jong said in the car.

Jang Hoon still dropped Lee Jong off near a 24-hour convenience store. After getting out of the car, Lee Jong habitually went in to buy a drink and a pack of cigarettes. The shop owner's eyes almost glued to Lee Jong's body. Lee Jong ran out like he was fleeing, looking back at the shop owner who was still calling him to come in, feeling a chill down his spine.

"Clap" Lee Jong opened the drink and took a sip, "Have they never seen a handsome man before? Why are women like this today? I need to be more careful in the future," he muttered to himself.

"Chuckle" A light laugh. Lee Jong turned around, and a graceful figure stood there. For a moment, Lee Jong was lost in thought...
