Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 109

Early November.

Pepero Day treats were beginning to line convenience store shelves, signaling the season’s approach, as I made my way to Gyeongnam for filming.

As we drew closer to the filming site, the scenery reflected in the car window gave glimpses of the kind of atmosphere we’d be working in.

“Wow, traditional Korean houses are seriously stunning,” Seokho-hyung commented, admiring the view.

“They really are,” I replied.

“It’s almost eerie how well the role of a young noble in a place like this suits you,” he added, layering admiration with playful flattery.

Having grown accustomed to Seokho-hyung’s compliments by now, I simply responded with a faint smile.

“Still, the scale is impressive. They must’ve cast a ton of extras,” Seokho-hyung observed, glancing around while searching for a place to park.

“More than when we filmed Endless Battlefield,” I agreed.

“It’s probably because they need to portray a noble household,” Seokho-hyung reasoned.

After all, when you think of a daegamjip (noble’s household), it often conjures images of many servants and workers. It seemed they had cast a lot of extras to match that image.

“And despite the number of people, everything seems so well-organized. Guess that’s what happens when a director’s used to handling big productions.”

While Seokho-hyung marveled at the orderliness of the bustling set, the van rolled to a smooth stop.

Screech.

Clunk.

The door opened, and the sight of a traditional hanok village stretched out before us.

“Man, the air feels different here.”

“This looks like something straight out of the Joseon era.”

The strikingly immersive backdrop naturally elicited words of admiration. The scenery was like stepping into a time machine.

I’d better start greeting everyone right away, I thought.

As the youngest member on set, it was my role to make the rounds and greet everyone thoroughly.

But before I could get started—

“Of course, you’d arrive early.”

“Huh? Oh! Sunbae-nim! Hello!”

Jin Yuseong appeared out of nowhere, casually dressed and waving a hand as if he’d been there all along.

“Are you filming today too?” I asked.

Jin Yuseong wasn’t just handsome; he was iconic. His every movement looked like a scene from a photo shoot. Years of acting experience also gave him a depth and intensity that felt almost larger than life.

Jin Yuseong was what you’d call a naturally gifted actor. Born with striking good looks, he shattered barriers like school ties and regional favoritism, starting his career as a baby formula model.

With his innate charm and exceptional acting talent, he rapidly climbed the entertainment ladder, eventually establishing himself as a heartthrob through the movie The Charm of the Wolf.

Praised for having acting skills that matched his looks, he seamlessly transitioned between movies and dramas. Even when he faced criticism for certain projects, reviewers often concluded, “At least Jin Yuseong’s face survived the ordeal.”

It was only natural for his confidence to soar.

But then...

“Who the hell is this guy?”

To Jin Yuseong, Kim Donghu was an alien.

First, there was his face. While everyone has their own style of attractiveness, Kim Donghu’s features seemed to embody some universal, unattainable ideal.

On top of that, he could act.

During their first script reading, Jin Yuseong had been floored. Who brings a clean, unmarked script to a reading and performs flawlessly without glancing at it?

Even more surprising was the rumor he’d heard afterward:

  • “I heard Kim Donghu? Yeah, he uses two scripts.”
  • “Two scripts?”
  • Reading History

    No history.
