Chapter 73

Just after finishing the filming of the "Infinite Challenge" calendar special, PD Kim Tae-ho called out to Lee Seung-lim, who was about to leave, “Seung-lim, wait a moment! And wait a moment, Brother Luo, too! I have something to discuss with you!”

The other members and staff smiled when they saw this. It turned out that Luo Bo had a friend whose younger sister had reached marriageable age. She was a good match for Luo Bo, despite his previous marriage, and the friend intended to introduce her to him...

Although Luo Bo's friend's sister was very beautiful, he wasn't considering such things at the moment, so he sought help from Lee Seung-lim. Lee Seung-lim thought about it and realized that the people he knew were mostly around twenty years old, and none of them were suitable...

The older "Infinite Challenge" members were either married or had girlfriends, so none of them were suitable either. But thinking about "Infinite Challenge," he also thought about PD Kim Tae-ho, who had taken good care of him. Hmm, wouldn't this be a perfect match...

So, with the tacit approval of Luo Bo's friend, Lee Seung-lim and Luo Bo played matchmaker, and the two of them started dating. Since then, PD Kim Tae-ho, who already had a good relationship with Lee Seung-lim, took even better care of him, almost as if he were worshiping him...

“What’s up, Brother Tae-ho? What information do you want now?” Lee Seung-lim joked...

PD Kim Tae-ho's face turned a bit red, “Don’t talk nonsense. I have something important to discuss with you. We haven’t eaten yet, so let’s find a place to eat and talk!”

The three of them, along with little Huhu, found a random mandu (rice cake) soup restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and started eating...

Little Huhu now hardly drank milk. He could even eat some soft foods. While Lee Seung-lim was picking the fish bones, he said to Kim Tae-ho, “Brother, just say what you need!”

Kim Tae-ho looked around furtively and stealthily handed over a folder. Lee Seung-lim was speechless. Was this MOYA? Had he been so addicted to the PD Special Agent episode that he was now doing a spy special...

But since Lee Seung-lim was busy, Luo Bo took the folder...

Luo Bo opened the folder and couldn't help but exclaim, “This...”

Kim Tae-ho interrupted him, “Shh, keep it down...”

Seeing how mysterious they were, Lee Seung-lim became curious. He handed little Huhu, who was poking the fish meat with a small plastic spoon, to Luo Bo and took the folder. He was surprised to find a complete TV drama script...

He had never had the right to read a script before...

But seeing the KBS logo at the bottom, Lee Seung-lim was puzzled. “Brother, you’re a PD at MBC...”

“It’s a script. Currently, only the lead male and female roles are confirmed. The other roles are still open. Take a look and see if any role suits you. Although I can’t directly get you into the cast, at least you’ll have an advantage when auditioning if you’ve read the script!”

Regardless of the final outcome, Lee Seung-lim was very excited to finally see a real script. “Brother, thank you! I’ll drink to that!” He raised his glass... Little Huhu, mimicking his father, picked up an empty glass in front of him, “Cheers!”

This scene made the three adults laugh. Little Huhu was increasingly fond of imitating adult actions, especially some simple movements or words from his father. He was always eager to mimic them, even though it caused some trouble for the adults, it also brought a lot of joy...

“But Brother, isn’t this a KBS production? How...” Lee Seung-lim still voiced his question...

“It’s related to you!”

“Me?”

Kim Tae-ho nodded affirmatively, “Because of you and little Huhu, ‘Infinite Challenge’ has become even more colorful. So I got some inspiration and made two plans, one of which I secretly gave to a classmate at KBS!”

Lee Seung-lim raised his glass again, admiring, “No wonder you’re the ace PD who created ‘Infinite Challenge’! Cheers!”

Little Huhu, “Cheers!”

Kim Tae-ho waved his hand, “Stop flattering me! I gave him a plan just to show some classmate camaraderie. Then he somehow got this script. Honestly, it’s a bit ridiculous. I mean, why would he give a TV drama script to a program PD? But then I thought, since you’re an actor now, it would be perfect for you!”

Hearing this, Lee Seung-lim couldn’t just take it at face value. Clearly, Brother Tae-ho was returning the favor for introducing him to a girlfriend and had specially arranged this script for him... Thinking about this, Lee Seung-lim couldn’t help but look at Luo Bo. His manager was truly a gem, bringing him such good fortune...

...

After putting little Huhu to bed, Lee Seung-lim and Luo Bo started studying the script, discussing which role would suit him...

Title: "Boys Over Flowers"; Screenwriter: Yoon Ji-yeon; Director: Kim Ki-shang...

“Brother Luo, what do you think?”

Luo Bo thought for a moment, “If I’m not mistaken, ‘Boys Over Flowers’ is a Japanese manga that has been adapted in Taiwan and Japan. In Korea, the demand for an adaptation has been high. It’s safe to predict that as long as the production isn’t terrible, it will be a huge hit, and the actors will also become very popular...

Although I’m not very familiar with the screenwriter, with Director Kim Ki-shang at the helm, the quality will definitely be good...”

“Is Director Kim Ki-shang famous?”

“Of course. He has directed... but it’s pointless to list them since you wouldn’t know! I’ve told you before that you should take it step by step. Now, I’m telling you responsibly that if you can get one of the F4 roles, you’ll be the one who gets hit by a falling pie from the sky!”

Luo Bo was always a steady person, always speaking the truth, even if it was just a fraction of it. Lee Seung-lim admitted that he was now filled with enthusiasm, “Brother, help me analyze which role would suit me?”

Luo Bo sized up Lee Seung-lim for a long time and finally sighed...

Lee Seung-lim’s heart sank, and he said a bit bitterly, “None of them are suitable?” After so many bit parts, he now trusted Luo Bo’s judgment. If Luo Bo didn’t think he was suitable, then he had no hope...

“To be honest, your appearance and aura are most suitable for the lead male role, Gu Jun-pyo!” Luo Bo paused, “But unfortunately, not only do you lack the qualifications for the lead role, but it’s already been cast, so it’s not your turn!

Among the other roles, the one most suitable for you is the second male lead, Yoon Ji-hoo!”

Lee Seung-lim was confused. The lead male and the second male lead, one a cold guy and the other a warm guy, the contrast was too great... “Brother, are you joking?”
