Chapter 80:

"I want to try it."

Hmm~ Good!

Kim Mijin said she would talk with the director and get back to him, then ended the call.

A psychopath.'

As soon as he heard those words, a memory from when Yooil was seventeen years old came to mind.

Did you read The Sun and the Moon' this week?

Of course.

Yoo Kwon is so handsome

Yeah, but the main lead is Lee Bin anyway.

The main lead, Lee Bin, and the secondary lead, Yoo Kwon. Every morning after the webtoon was updated at midnight, the students in the class would split into Yoo Kwon faction' and Lee Bin faction' and engage in heated discussions.

Praise for Yoo Kwon mostly came from his appearance. Handsome, sexy, and so on

If I was born in the world of The Sun and the Moon', I'd follow Yoo Kwon.

Eh. Even if you're a fan of looks, that's a bit

However, even those who loved Yoo Kwon couldn't deny one thing.

Following him might cost you your neck.

Yoo Kwon, as depicted in The Sun and the Moon', was a character inherently lacking in empathy. He had no interest in others besides himself.

Especially when he cruelly killed animals and people without a shred of guilt from a young age, even the Yoo Kwon faction trembled in fear along with other readers.

Based on an analysis of Yoo Kwon's' personality, psychopathic tendencies are prominent in areas excluding cognition, including attachment, behavior, dominance, emotion, and self-perception.

Yooil nodded at Brion's words.

So far, Yooil had never found psychopaths portrayed in media to be charming.

However, as an actor, he couldn't deny that the character was tempting as a challenge.

"First, I'll contact the manager."

Yooil was already slightly tired at the thought of the non-reproachful reproach he would receive for not taking a break'.

* * *

"Mr. Yooil."

The next day.

Yooil, expecting to meet Manager Jang Jaeyi at the company, was surprised to find President Jang Jaehyun waiting for him.

"I was under the impression that Mr. Yooil was taking a break."

Jang Jaehyun sighed as he continued.

He had been deliberately delaying incoming advertisement contracts.

But he hadn't expected the actor himself to be uncooperative.

Han Yooil spoke up.

"I believe I've rested enough."

Jang Jaehyun squinted at Yooil.

The clear eyes and clean skin made it hard to argue against his words.

But since the writer contacted directly, there's nothing much to do.'

Moreover, The Sun and the Moon' was a project with quite a lot of fan expectations.

Many had wanted the webtoon to be dramatized since its serialization, and the news of its dramatization had always been well-received.

However, as always with the adaptation of works with original material, the biggest advantage and obstacle were the original fans.

Especially, the role Yooil was to take was a concern.

I like the idea of dramatizing The Sun and the Moon' but

[Who's going to play Yoo Kwon?]

Hwang Riu in his 20snove(l)bi(n.)com

Jung Yuseong in his early debut

Lol, do we need a time machine for this

It's funny but not funny..

Am I the only one against the drama adaptation?

[The thought of watching Yoo Kwon's lines acted out is already making me lose my appetite]

Honestly, I agree

Really, even God Yeongwoo couldn't save this

The role of Yoo Kwon was being discussed in the context of a veteran actor like Kim Yeongwoo, who had nearly 40 years of acting experience, being unable to save it.

"Mr. Yooil, are you sure about this?"

President Jang's words made Yooil pause for a moment.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't worried.

However

"I'm intrigued by the role."

As Yooil looked at him with a slight smile, Jang Jaehyun raised his hands as if admitting defeat.

Hmm?'

She turned to speak to Moon Yuhwa, her usually favored junior.

"Hey, Yuhwa."

"Yes, senior?"

"Why are you so cheerful today?"

"It's the script, it's so interesting~"

Watching Moon Yuhwa's witty response, Kwon Mija shook her head.

The actress playing the Grand Queen Dowager, though nearing eighty, had been attending shoots regularly thanks to her rigorous health regimen. And just as good as her self-care was her ability to make quick judgments.

Kwon Mija made a light assessment of Yooil, who was greeting everyone with a bright smile.

He's quite a charming kid.'

As the time for the script reading drew near, Lee Bohee, a petite woman with long hair, entered the room.

"Hello~!"

She greeted everyone in various directions with a cheerful face and soon took her seat in the center. Lee Bohee, known for her solid acting skills and youthful appearance despite nearing thirty, effortlessly portrayed student roles.

Right on time for the script reading, Kang Hyesung arrived, and greetings began with Director Do Junhwan and writer Kim Mijin. Kim Mijin, showing affection for the cast, added with a gentle smile:

"I hope this drama shines a light on the darkness many people face~"

Yooil, sensing the slight tremor in Kim Mijin's voice, clapped sincerely.

"I'm Lee Bohee, playing Yoo Dohwa. Please look after me."

After Lee Bohee's introduction, Kang Hyesung, with a mischievous smile, spoke up.

"I'm Kang Hyesung, playing the roles of Lee Bin and Prince Seongwon. Please look after me~"

Then, standing up from his seat, Yooil slowly looked around at the actors. As he faced familiar faces, his heart began to beat a bit faster.

"I'm Han Yooil, playing the role of Yoo Kwon. I'll do my best."

All eyes were fixed on Yooil's face.

The laid-back and warm-hearted third prince of the current king, Lee Bin, beloved by all around him. His rival was Yoo Kwon, the adopted son brought by Yoo Dohwa's father, Yoo Jungmo.

After the introductions, the actual script reading began.

"Father!"

""

"Father, father!"

"So, what is it this time?"

"I'm curious about the Ojak!"

"My goodness."

As Lee Bohee's lively voice and Gu Ilhwan's weary tone filled the room, the director's face lit up with satisfaction.

Her tone perfectly matched Yoo Dohwa, a curious and bright girl.

The reading then flowed into a scene where Lee Bin, having secretly left the palace, accidentally encounters Yoo Dohwa wandering around a grave. Mistaking Yoo Dohwa for a ghost, Lee Bin almost falls over in fright.

That was their first encounter.

"Juya."

"Yes."

"Am I seeing things?"

"No, you're not."

"Then, that woman she's really alive?"

A journalist watching the scene nodded slightly.

Not bad.'

Among the young actors, he was known for his acting skills, so there were certain expectations among the journalists.

Even with those expectations in mind, it was quite an outstanding performance.

As long as the two leads do well, it's worth it.'

Thinking this, the journalist rapidly typed away.

His perspective shifted slightly when the actor playing Yukwon' started speaking.

Before the reading began, Han Yooil sat with a calm face, but once it started, his gaze turned cold and sharp as he meticulously scanned the other actors.

"There's a plague spreading."

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

"!"

Only then did the journalist take a closer look at Han Yooil's face. His eyes resembled a snake eyeing its prey.

Expectation and playfulness flickered quickly across Yooil's face, but the lingering light in his eyes didn't fade easily.

"Is that, true?"

The expression that surfaced on his face was one of pure joy.

A cruel joy that made everyone watching shiver.

Oh?'

The journalist, whose eyes were dry from fatigue, blinked and, without realizing it, opened his eyes wide.
