Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 44

Ji Eun-bi, 17, eagerly sat down in front of her TV, ready to watch the special broadcast of High Dream. She had purchased multiple copies of the OST CD for the upcoming concert, and now she was excited to see the behind-the-scenes footage and NG moments that would fill the hour-long special.

“Surely Dong-hoo oppa will appear a lot, right?” she thought, anticipating his presence. According to various interviews and articles she’d read, Jae Yi's screen time had been increased, which meant there should be plenty of NG scenes featuring him as well.

But as the show began, Ji Eun-bi started to feel frustrated.

“Why isn’t he showing up?”

There was no sign of Kim Dong-hoo in the table read footage or in the making-of clips, which mostly featured the early episodes. As the program moved into the NG section, her anticipation grew.

Yet, he was still absent.

“Is this some kind of exclusion?” she wondered, angered by the lack of screen time for someone who was supposed to have a significant role. Eun-bi couldn’t believe that while other actors had their blooper scenes, Dong-hoo, known for his flawless acting, was nowhere to be seen.

As she angrily counted his actual screen time, she realized it was only during the thank-you message and the final commentary, making up less than 50% of the content other actors received.

Just as Eun-bi was preparing to vent her frustrations on the viewer board, something unexpected happened.

With a slight crackle, the screen switched to a series of Dong-hoo’s scenes stitched together.

It became clear: “He didn’t make a single NG?”

The scenes showed that his only mistakes came when other actors stumbled, not him. Eun-bi's anger began to cool as she saw how perfectly he delivered each line.

Fans flooded the message boards:
