Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 155

Late October – Shooting Day for Please Take Care of My Refrigerator

"Troublesome! The Identity Reversal Project of Misfit Refrigerator Ingredients!"

"Korea’s top chefs will completely empty out your fridge!"

"A refined culinary talk show!"

"Please Take Care of My Refrigerator!"

Clap, clap.

"Take care of it!"

The opening remarks from the two MCs had barely ended before applause erupted.

"Wooaaah!"

It began with cheers and applause from the dazzling lineup of chefs.

The MCs calmly moved on to introducing the guests.

"She’s rewritten Olympic golf history! The Golf Queen—Park Eun-jin!"

"And the world’s eyes are on him—a man not even drugs could defeat! The world’s strongest fists—Kim Donghu!"

A spectacular lineup.

The chefs widened their eyes as Olympic gold medalists made back-to-back appearances.

"Wow, this is insane...."

"Kim Donghu looks absolutely unreal in person."

"I heard he was good-looking, but... this is just ridiculous."

Kim Donghu’s presence, in particular, was overwhelming.

‘I can’t believe Kim Donghu actually agreed to appear on our show... Thank you, thank you so much.’

Lee Junghoon, the producer of Please Take Care of My Refrigerator, felt tears of gratitude welling up as he looked at Kim Donghu.

In reality, it had been a desperate long shot when they first sent the invitation.

‘With the whole world trying to get him on their shows, we actually landed him!’

At this point, Kim Donghu’s name value was off the charts.

The entire world was clamoring for him,

and international celebrities were bombarding him with love calls, eager to associate with him.

He could easily have spent his time touring overseas interviews.

Yet, to everyone’s gratitude, Kim Donghu prioritized his domestic fans.

‘Thank you... Thank you so much....’

Muttering endless thanks in his head,

Producer Lee refocused on the program.

"And now, after 112 years, Olympic golf has made its return! And with overwhelming skill, she made history! Park Eun-jin!"

"An absolutely incredible achievement! Historic, even!"

The show strategically placed Park Eun-jin first.

This ensured Kim Donghu could receive more screen time later and become the focus.

Due to the show’s format, each guest would appear in one dedicated segment.

Naturally, the guest appearing second drew more attention.

‘If Kim Donghu’s segment is second, people will make sure to tune in to the next episode even if they miss the first.’

The entire strategy revolved around maximizing ratings and audience engagement.

"Now, before we open Park Eun-jin’s refrigerator, let’s decide the cooking themes and matchups!"

With that setup, the show progressed quickly.

Eight chefs in total, each preparing four dishes per guest, meant four chefs were assigned per contestant.

"The themes are dishes that keep joints warm and golf-inspired recipes! Let’s decide the matchups!"

At this point, half the chefs would compete to cook for Park Eun-jin.

‘But... it’s obvious.’

Everyone was blatantly eager to cook for Kim Donghu.

Well, of course.

It was only natural.

‘He’s not just an athlete. He’s an actor and an international sensation.’

But anticipating this, they had already assigned the matchups through a pre-recorded rock-paper-scissors contest.

"I’ll take the joint-warming dish."

"I’ll go with the golf-inspired recipe!"

And just like that, the matchups were quickly finalized.

The refrigerator was revealed, and the cooking began in a flash.

Between shots:

"Donghu, how’s the taste so far?"

"Honestly... there’s no way I could make this in 15 minutes. It’s incredible."

"I heard Kim Donghu even cooked himself when he appeared on that Japanese show."

"Really? Wow. Then he must have some skills. We’ll have to try his cooking someday."

They made sure to keep the cameras rolling on Kim Donghu, maximizing airtime.

After a short break, the second segment focused entirely on him.

"Now, just like before, we’ll decide the cooking themes and matchups before revealing the refrigerator!"

The chefs’ eyes sparkled.

Fresh off his Olympic triumph, Kim Donghu was the hottest name in the industry.

This was their chance to build a connection with him.

"The first theme is! A taste of Korea’s soul!"

Kim Donghu explained his choice:

"I’m sure Park Eun-jin can relate, but when you spend a lot of time training overseas, you start to really miss Korean food."

"Right? Definitely."

"So I wanted to experience something truly Korean again. That’s why I chose this theme."

"Got it! And the second theme is! A nourishing dish to prepare for winter!"

"Since winter’s almost here, I figured it’d be great to focus on health."

"But if an Olympic heavyweight boxer gets any healthier, won’t he become Superman?"

"Haha."

With a brief laugh, Kim Donghu’s matchups were swiftly set.

"Now, let’s open the fridge of Olympic champion and actor—Kim Donghu!"

Kim Donghu’s refrigerator was unveiled for the first time on broadcast.

"Wait, what the hell is that?!"

The chefs were visibly shocked.
