Episode 402 A very large screen that looks like it was copied from the Gaiden 4 Dark Theater.
The drama Cellar House, which aired last year, was playing on that white flat surface.
“Kha!”
Darkness lay down in front of the huge screen and let out an exclamation.
“Hey! This house is good at acting! That’s learning! cancer!”
He applauded as he saw the actor biting the guitar with his teeth. I’ve seen a lot of dramas, but actors with that level of acting ability are rare.
“It’s already at that level, so it’s going to be big.”
That actor was a supporting actor in the drama, and although he looks young, he was able to overshadow even the main lead role with his acting skills alone.
The mask also felt good, so I thought he would appear as a lead actor in another drama soon.
No, this drama was produced last year, so he may have already been cast in the lead role.
“It’s Kang Ah-reum… I need to remember that.”
I liked the acting skills, so I searched the actor’s name on my smartphone.
“Whoop!” After all, drama is more about acting than the script. “The level of immersion is killer.”
As if he had realized the truth of life, the darkness took a deep breath and focused on the drama again.
“Oh….”
The actor’s acting skills soar toward the extreme. Just looking at it made my hands sweat.
Knock knock!
The moment before the guitar strings were torn by the actor’s teeth.
Quang!
The sound of something exploding was heard.
It is not a surround speaker. The direction of the sound was behind and light was shining in the dark room.
“Darkness.”
“Ah, this is the perfect moment!”
Darkness sighed and turned around. Baek Woo-jin, wearing a black uniform, was looking down at himself.
“I have a mission.”
“mission? Yiyi mission?”
“okay.”
“Am I your subordinate? “What kind of mission is this?”
Why are you calling me when you have over a thousand subordinates who will pretend to die if you give them an order? I couldn’t understand.
“It’s already been three months since you laid here and ate nothing but food. I’ve left enough for you, so now I have to pay for it. And…”
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue as he looked at the messy room.
“Look at what your room looks like. Is this a room where people live? “When Karen comes back, she’s going to rip your hair out?”
“Ugh…”
Darkness slightly shrugged his shoulders.
‘Is this a bit harsh?’
The floor was filled with disposable tableware, plastic bottles, and snack bags. As Baek Woo-jin said, the room was a bit dirty.
‘But it can’t be helped.’
When I first came back to this world, I sparred with Baek Woo-jin and taught medical school, but when I started watching dramas I had never seen before, I couldn’t get out of it.
No drug can match the addictiveness of Korean dramas.
“You don’t know this, but even the family’s prosecutors are now calling you a seaweed-headed scoundrel.”
“What? Really?”
The darkness opened its mouth. When I first saw it, I had no idea that the guys who begged me to know the sword would say something like that.
“I think so too. “You are no different from the damn lichs in the Lion’s Castle now.”
“Yanma! “What you’re saying is too harsh!”
“Anyway, you do this mission. If you don’t like it…”
“What if you don’t like it?”
“Either spar with me.”
“Oh, sparring?”
Darkness frowned and turned its face towards Baek Woo-jin.
“Did you think I would be scared if you said that? Can’t you see that you’re a little ahead of yourself? ok?”
“Because it is true that I am stronger than you now.”
“OK! Let’s stick together! “I’ll make a lot of mush!”
“Follow me.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and went out.
“Smile? Are you laughing at that too?”
Darkness put on a robe and picked up a sword. He left the room with a fierce force, as if he was going to battle.
As I followed Baek Woo-jin to the training ground, there were medical swordsmen who were going on a mission today and prosecutors who were training.
He pushed them back and stood in the center of the training hall with Baek Woo-jin.
“I will break your head in front of your subordinates who treat you like a god.”
“try. “If I can.”
Baek Woo-jin lifted his finger without erasing his sneer.
“Whew…”
Darkness let out an irritated breath and used both Aura and Will at the same time.
‘It’s hard to win.’
That lucky guy obtained a mythical weapon called the Changcheon Sword and reached a new level by defeating the Heavenly Demon.
Although he has also reached the intermediate level of transcendence, it is difficult to defeat that monster. It’s best to draw to avoid losing face.
Slurp!
Darkness pulled out his sword and kicked the ground.
‘uh?’
I tried to fire a sword strike at Baek Woo-jin, but I got goosebumps and stopped my hand.
“You bastard!”
Baek Woo-jin: That crazy guy used two mind swords and Mansang to block his front and back.
‘Ugh!’
It was an enormous pressure, as if a grim reaper holding a scythe of death was looking at him.
“Not long ago, I gained a new understanding and was able to use two weapons.”
“Did you provoke me because you wanted to test it?”
“No, the mission was real. “Sparring was an impromptu offer because I wanted to beat you up.”
Baek Woo-jin stuck out his mouth and shrugged his shoulders. He is truly an obnoxious guy.
“So do you want to continue? Or would you like to take a mission?”
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu her
she looked her the surroundings.
The medical school and prosecutors are all looking at this place. I couldn’t retreat without a shameful fight.
“I also gained enlightenment!”
Darkness bit his lip and lowered his posture. I charged forward, using ‘Light and Darkness’, the art of intent that I had acquired while reaching the intermediate level of transcendence.
Coo coo coo coo!
A magnificent sword that seemed to be a mixture of light and darkness burned above his shoulders.
“I’ll crush the bridge of your nose flat!”
**
“Awesome!”
Darkness was trudging along a quiet street in broad daylight and swearing.
‘It really hit me hard.’
Contrary to what was declared, it was beaten like dust on a rainy day in front of everyone.
I felt like I had been hit on the back of my head ten times, making my head look like a crayon.
‘Damn Baek Woo-jin!’
Before returning to this world, he created an art called ‘light and dark’ with the knowledge he gained by defeating the master of the Fourth Demon World, but it did not work on Baek Woo-jin.
‘That guy. It has even surpassed the level of transcendence.’
Baek Woo-jin’s achievements are immeasurable. Even if all mankind rushes in, they won’t be able to defeat him.
That doesn’t mean I gave up.
It’s hard right now because the difference in level is so big, but we’ll be able to catch up eventually. maybe. okay. Maybe….
‘What do I do now?’
I was embarrassed and ran out of Baekga and looked around, but there was nothing to do.
“Stop going back… hm?”
As I dragged my slippers and tried to return to Baekga, a spicy smell that made my mouth water irritated my nose.
It was the smell of stir-fried pork coming from a restaurant called Areum Restaurant on the right.
‘Does it smell okay?’
Since it was past the Baek family’s meal time, I opened the door of the restaurant with the thought of having something to eat and then going back.
The restaurant wasn’t that big.
At the entrance, two middle-aged men were having a lunch with kimchi stew, and inside, a man and a woman who appeared to be lovers were eating pork.
I sat at the table in the center and looked at the menu. There are three types of stew and Jeyuk tofu kimchi. I liked that there wasn’t much on the menu.
“Would you like to order?”
When I decided on kimchi stew and pork stew, a good-looking woman who appeared to be a waiter came up to me and handed me cold water.
“Jeyuk and kimchi stew.”
“yes. Please wait a minute.”
“Oh wait a minute!”
“yes?”
‘Hmm…’
Heukam frowned as he looked at the employee.
‘Why does this face look familiar?’
The employee’s face seemed strangely familiar to my eyes. Just like I saw it somewhere today.
‘There’s no way I’m looking at someone else’s face wrong.’
As I was tapping my fingers on the table and recalling my memories, my thoughts landed on the drama I watched earlier.
“ah! Red ship!”
“urg?”
The employee let out a small scream at the sound of darkness.
“It’s the enemy ship!”
“How…”
“I know because I watched the drama!”
The employee was Kang Ah-reum, a supporting actor at Cellar House whom he had praised.
The makeup, clothing, and hairstyle had changed so much that I couldn’t recognize him at first, but it was clear.
“The act of biting the guitar strings at the club was the best! “It was the best scene in that drama!”
Darkness got excited and slammed the table.
“Oh, thank you.”
Kang Ah-reum lowered her head with an awkward expression, as if she was not used to this kind of thing.
“But why do you work at a restaurant?”
Even if Cellar House was a failed drama, Kang Ah-reum’s acting was special.
I don’t think the directors had eye contact, but I couldn’t understand why they were serving at a restaurant rather than on a filming set.
“This is my mom’s store. “I’m helping you with the work.”
“Oh, I see.”
Darkness nodded. For a moment, Kang Ah-reum seemed to be helping out at her parents’ restaurant.
‘It would be a waste not to act.’
Kang Ah-reum’s acting skills were the best among actors I’ve seen recently. It is a talent that would be a waste of time for other work.
“Can you give me one autograph later?”
Since I was certain that he would become a big person one day, I decided to get his autograph in advance.
“yes? Ah yes! Sure!”
Kang Ah-reum smiled and nodded, but her face looked a little dark.
“The food is here.”
A little later, Kang Ah-reum brought stir-fried pork and kimchi stew.
The pork was served on a large plate, and the kimchi stew was served in a bowl and placed on a burner. Inside the stew was a whole piece of pork loin.
‘Are you okay?’
I was drawn to the smell, but the visuals weren’t bad either. It looked like it couldn’t be tasteless.
rattle.
As I was about to pick up a piece of pork and put it in my mouth, the store door opened and three grumpy-looking men came in.
‘A capable person.’
The three of them were clearly capable, but they were so poor that there was no need to worry about them, so they just ate their meat.
“Hmm!”
The texture was chewy and the seasoning was well soaked into the inside, so the spicy and savory taste captivated my tongue. As expected, it was a delicious restaurant.
Percussion!
As I was about to eat the second meat, the talented people who had just entered walked inside and pushed the middle-aged people’s table.
Kyaggyaggyak!
The table swayed, and the spoons and plates containing kimchi stew spilled onto the floor.
Although the soup and food were scattered and a mess, the three talented people sat right next to each other without a word of apology.
“Are these crazy! “If you spilled it, you don’t have to say anything!”
The middle-aged man on the right suddenly stood up and grabbed the talented person’s shoulder.
“what?”
“Huh?”
Instead of apologizing, the talented people frowned and lashed out at the middle-aged people.
“Did we spill it?”
“You guys threw it out because you were drunk!”
“Ugh!”
“That…”
The two middle-aged men trembled, unable to properly argue with the powerful men’s comments.
“Ship! “I feel dirty, but it’s so damn bad.”
“You guys start a fight and you don’t even apologize? “You want to try it now?”
It was a ridiculous situation where the people who started the fight first demanded an apology, but no one came forward.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
As the atmosphere became tense, the couple who was eating inside put money on the table and left the store.
“Now wait a minute! I’ll serve the food again! Don’t fight…”
“That’s enough!”
Kang Ah-reum held back her fear and stood between the capable man and the middle-aged man, but the situation was already over. The middle-aged people only paid for the food and ran out.
“Hmm.”
Darkness didn’t care what happened in the restaurant. I focused only on the sirloin inside the bubbling kimchi stew.
“Why are you doing this again!”
“Why is this happening again? We just came to eat. “Bring all the food.”
The talented people laughed and mocked Kang Ah-reum. Listening to the conversation, it seemed like this was not the first time this had happened.
“Hey man.”
Among them, a man with snake eyes who seemed to be the leader smiled and sat in the front seat of the darkness.
“Where have you never heard that you don’t care?”
“How did you know? “I heard that again today.”
“Hahaha! “Look at this guy?”
He burst into laughter and kicked the chair at the table in front of him.
Kyaaaang!
The chair flew out and smashed the dishes that had not been put away.
“Why are you really doing that! “I gave you money the day before yesterday!”
“Please don’t do this…”
“Oh, you guys, get out of here!”
“Ahh!”
Kang Ah-reum and her mother tried to stop the snake-eyed man, but he was pushed back and fell backwards.
“Since you don’t care, I’ll have to let you know.”
He chuckled and threw the bowl containing the boiling kimchi stew and the stir-fried pork on the floor.
But the scene he expected did not come true.
Ugh!
The falling spoons and dishes stopped in midair.
“A talented person!”
The three guys hurriedly backed away with their eyes wide open.
“I was just going to eat quietly…”
Heukam snapped his fingers, and the kimchi stew and stir-fried pork returned to their original places on the table.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been criticized.”
I stood up and looked down at the three guys. There was no need for momentum. Their faces turned white just because of their tall height and looks.
“Ugh, did you guys hire them?”
The snake-eyed man glared at Kang Ah-reum behind him.
“You’re acting like this when you know there’s someone behind us! “Stab!”
“Kaaaa!”
At his direction, the other two talents took out knives imbued with mana and rushed at him.
Whoops! Bah!
Darkness plunged its fist into the face of the first guy and hit the second guy on the back of the head, pinning him to the floor.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!
The snake-eyed man stopped walking, opened his mouth, and slashed his forehead with a water pipe. The guy’s forehead crumpled along with a cracking sound.
“Wow….”
“Ah….”
When he turned around, he saw Kang Ah-reum and her mother looking at him with mesmerized faces.
“Hmm.”
Heukam cleared his throat and sat down again to eat kimchi stew. It was moderately spicy and seasoned just right.
“You’re blatantly trying to ruin my business. What’s going on? “I probably didn’t come here to collect rent.”
I never thought I would actually witness a scene that I only saw in dramas.
“That…”
Kang A-reum hesitated, unable to answer hastily.
“I also touched these guys, so I have a relationship. Tell me please.”
“Ha, I understand.”
Kang Areum sighed and nodded as if she had made up her mind.
“As you know, I am a supporting actor. “Someone at Cellar House appreciated my acting, so I got a chance to play the lead role early this year.”
It was as expected. If I had seen her act, there was no way I would have let it go.
“But the main character changed overnight.”
“What is that…”
Darkness widened his eyes. I didn’t understand what they were talking about when the main character changed overnight.
“I finished reading the script, but suddenly they contacted me saying they were replacing the lead role. “It was so absurd that I inquired through my agency, but instead they came out with a red flag.”
Kang Ah-reum’s eyes filled with moisture.
“We posted an article and complained, but the other agency was so powerful that the article was immediately taken down and our agency was attacked in return.”
“Hmm….”
“My friends posted stories on the Internet to help me, but those were immediately deleted, and after that, people like that started coming and behaving badly.”
After listening to this point, I felt like I knew how it was going. This was a situation that often appeared in dramas when the female lead was going through an ordeal.
“What is the name of that drama?”
“Summer and waves.”
“Oh, that!”
The plot of Summer and Waves wasn’t bad, but the lead actress’s acting was so poor that I couldn’t get immersed in it.
It was the worst work for someone who values acting skills.
“I see. “I did.”
Kang Ah-reum is a person with a good mask and excellent acting skills. If this actor had been the lead in Summer Waves, it would have been a huge hit.
“What is the agency of the woman who played the lead role instead of you?”
“This is Shining Entertainment, run by the large guild Shining. “The actress who replaced me is the daughter of the Shining Guild Master.”
“Large guild Shining?”
It was an unheard of guild for the first time.
“Is that something like the Shingeombaekga or the Powerful Jeokga?”
“no! Absolutely! “It cannot be compared to Shingeombaekga, where ‘Mushin’ resides.”
“Hmm…”
I got the cold feeling that Kang Ah-reum considered Baek Woo-jin sacred at the word martial arts, but I passed it over for now.
“Then it’s no big deal.”
“Shining is a large guild! “It’s not as good as the top four guilds, but it’s just below them!”
“So, it’s called millet.”
Heukam wrapped aged kimchi around a well-cooked sirloin, swallowed it in one bite, and stood up.
“I will take care of this.”
“yes?”
Kang Ah-reum and her mother opened their mouths at the same time.
“How?”
“Through conversation.”
“Big conversation?”
“If that doesn’t work, use your fists.”
“The Shining Guild is filled with people with abilities that are incomparably stronger than these people! Besides, this has nothing to do with customers.”
“no. “It matters.”
It’s not because I messed with those poor talents.
‘I can’t stand this.’
As a viewer who is concerned about the future of Korean dramas, I cannot pretend not to notice this incident.
We need to help Kang Ah-reum, who has outstanding acting skills, spread her wings.
“Because I love actors who act well.”
“Uh…”
Kang Ah-reum opened her chin wide so that it could touch the table. He looks at me with an expression like, ‘What is this person?’
Well, you might think it strange that a customer who was eating kimchi stew suddenly offered to solve the problem.
In fact, there is one more reason why he helps her.
‘Baek, Woo, Jin.’
I was very annoyed because the Shining Guild’s actions and failures seemed to overlap with those of Baek Woo-jin, who interfered with watching the drama.
Heukam grinned and turned his shoulders. It was a good opportunity to relieve the stress from Baek Woo-jin because it had a cause.
“I will finish everything today.”
