Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 123

As Chisako hugged me tightly, I was inwardly taken aback.

She actually came all the way here.

While I had made remarks that might’ve sounded like casual invitations, I hadn’t genuinely expected her to show up.

But being from a wealthy family, it seemed she had no qualms about hopping on a plane.

Having breakfast in Korea and dinner in Japan...

She was living the kind of life that sounded like a dream come true.

That thought reminded me of the cryptocurrency I had told my dad about.

Now that I think about it, what happened with that?

It was around the time Bitcoin was starting to gain mainstream attention and its price was skyrocketing.

I wondered how the trades were going.

Judging by the silence, it seems like it’s handling itself just fine.

I decided to ask him about it later and shifted my focus back to gently peeling Chisako off me.

"Thank you so much for letting me post this on Twitter!"

"Oh, it’s no big deal. It helps with promotion for me, so it’s a win-win."

"Even so! Most people wouldn’t agree to something like this." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

I didn’t bother giving a reply to that.

It’s true, I suppose.

Whether someone agreed or not didn’t make them inherently good or bad;

everyone has their own reasons for what they choose to share or keep private.

"So, what are you planning to do after the dubbing is over?"

"After the dubbing?"

"Yeah! With how popular you are right now—on Twitter and the radio—you could even appear on variety shows!"

Her comment made me consider the possibility.

The dubbing is progressing incredibly fast.

It helped that the film was action-heavy and didn’t have too much dialogue.

But more than that, the enthusiasm of the Japanese voice actors was driving the process forward.

The high-quality, high-energy performances of seasoned voice actors made a huge difference.

On top of that, there wasn’t much localization work needed, so there weren’t many roadblocks.

At this rate, the only delays would come from post-production work.

Timing adjustments and mixing aren’t my responsibility, anyway.

If things continued like this, I could potentially have a five-week break once the dubbing was done.

A Japanese activity break, huh?

I glanced at Seokho-hyung, who immediately caught on to what I was thinking.

"Taking a break when you can is the right thing to do. If you want to go for it, that’s fine, but... honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it," he said.

"Why not?"

"There aren’t many shows for you to go on. Plus, you know as well as I do that Japanese variety shows are very different from Korean ones."

The tone.

He wasn’t wrong. Not even a little.

Seokho-hyung added another point.

"Even if you get offers, they’ll probably be prank-heavy shows, and I don’t think that would be great for your image right now."

Image management.

This was crucial for any celebrity.

How you handled your image could determine the roles you were offered,

and in extreme cases, it could even end your career.

From that perspective—

There’s no need to come off looking ridiculous.

The conclusion was clear: Japanese variety shows wouldn’t do much to help my career.

Be funny, but don’t make a fool of yourself.

So, should I just fully embrace the idea of taking a proper break?

Maybe I could visit a theme park or check out some museums.
