JSTV’s anticipated drama ‘Dreaming’ casts Jin Su-ho as the lead… He will work with Yeon Seo
Omnibus action fantasy drama ‘Dreaming’, Jin Su-ho and Yeon Seo casted
‘Jin Su-ho?’
He was an actor who was often mentioned with Yeon Seo on various communities. He was curious and was about to search for Jin Su-ho on the search engine, when someone cautiously called him.
“Um… Senior.”
“Just call me comfortably.”
“Yes, we made a group chat…”
Oh, right. I was too relaxed because it wasn’t a class.
Yeon Seo glanced at the four group members while holding his phone. They were shivering and looking at Yeon Seo’s mood, then they talked among themselves.
“Who will be the leader?”
“What should we do for our topic?”
Yeon Seo frowned. I think I won’t be able to keep my promises when I start filming…
“I’m sorry…”
His words made the atmosphere tense. Yeon Seo was still staring at his phone and tapping on the screen. His indifferent attitude made the group members sigh inwardly.
“I think I won’t be able to see you often because of the filming.”
The student who just became the leader closed his eyes.
I knew it. He was frowning and grumbling since earlier. But I can’t take his name out because I’m worried about his background. He’s from JSENM, everyone wants to go there after graduating.
They all thought they had to do well with the remaining four, excluding the free rider, when Yeon Seo put down his phone and crossed his arms.
“Check the chat.”
“Huh?”
The group members were confused, but then their phones vibrated and made a sound.
Ding!
Receive 1,000,000 won.
“I don’t care about the grade, but can you please not take my name out?”
Yeon Seo had searched the rumors about the group project beforehand. It was one of the most hated things in college, and people didn’t even look at the classes that had a lot of group projects when they registered.
Then I have to make up for it with money, since I only have money. But the group members were speechless when they saw the screen.
Uh… Did I give too little?
“I’ll pay for all the expenses that occur when we meet.”
Yeon Seo’s words made them come to their senses and lift their heads.
“Yes, hyung. You can’t help it if you’re busy.”
“We’ll do our best!”
“We’ll make sure to get at least an A!”
“Go ahead, oppa, you’re busy!”
This wasn’t just a free ride, this was like buying them a limousine bus. The bus driver? Of course I have to do it. I’m confident I can work hard with all my body.
“Thank you. I’ll go now.”
“Please go ahead!”
The group members smiled brightly and saw Yeon Seo off.
‘It seems like it was solved well…’
So, who is Jin Su-ho?
***
“Jin Su-ho? Why him?”
“I’m going to do a drama with him, so it’s good to know who he is beforehand.”
Yeon Seo took the chair in the representative’s office and spun it around while doing something else. Han Jun-oh, the representative of Halo Media, didn’t mind and sat on another chair.
“Our Yeon Seo has grown up. He even cares about his co-star.”
“What are you talking about, am I already old? I’m not your son.”
Han Jun-oh smiled warmly and looked at Yeon Seo. He didn’t feel bad about anything he said. Lately, there were many rumors that Yeon Seo had changed for the better, so many people came to see Han Jun-oh.
Park Sang-tae, the director who brought something to drink, shook his head at the sight of the representative’s office that was taken over.
“Jin Su-ho, Jin Su-ho… You’re different from him.”
“Jin Su-ho? Oh, are you talking about the drama we’re doing together?”
Han Jun-oh nodded his head. Park Sang-tae looked at Yeon Seo with surprise.
“Jin Su-ho… He debuted around the same time as you, except for his idol days. But he’s now a top star.”
“Oh…”
Yeon Seo debuted as an idol in 2011, and re-debuted as an actor in the second half of 2015. So he became a top actor in about 3 years? What a bastard.
“He’s one of the few celebrities who can compete with you in looks. He also has a good eye for works, just like you, and he worked hard like a cow, so he was also called Jin So-ho.”
“His family is also great, right? He comes from a family of educators for generations, and his maternal side is a descendant of an independence activist, I think… That’s why you were often linked with him, as rivals. Both have good families, handsome, same age, and actors.”
“That’s why I had high expectations for you…”
Han Jun-oh couldn’t finish his sentence.
Yeon Seo’s bad acting was excused as ‘he’s still new, he’s a rookie’ when Jin Su-ho received attention for his acting skills from his first work.
He also had a similar eye for works as Yeon Seo, so his first movie as a supporting actor attracted 12 million viewers, and he skipped the rising stage and became a top actor, receiving love calls from legendary directors.
“He didn’t get pushed by his family like you, he rose with his real skills. Isn’t he amazing?”
“Park Sang-tae. Be quiet.”
Han Jun-oh hit Park Sang-tae’s arm with a loud sound.
I don’t care, it’s the truth. Yeon Seo habitually put his legs on the representative’s desk. Han Jun-oh rolled his eyes and looked at him.
“I guess he joined ‘Dreaming’ because the script is good.”
“Of course, it’s even better because our Yeon Seo is participating.”
Han Jun-oh didn’t forget to flatter Yeon Seo.
Is he still worried that I’ll go to JSENM? JSENM is related to my mother’s workplace, so I have to be polite, right? I can’t be this comfortable without Han Jun-oh.
“I don’t care about me, but the writer and the director of ‘Dreaming’ are also newbies or almost newbies…”
“Jin Su-ho is a guarantee of success.”
“Wow.”
“This is unexpected.”
Han Jun-oh and Park Sang-tae covered their mouths at the same time. The narcissist who boasted that his works were successful because of his investment admitted someone else? He really got better after losing his memory.
“What’s his personality like?”
“That’s also different from you.”
“Really?”
He was handsome, rich, talented, and even had a good personality? Was there such a unicorn?
“He’s a perfectionist, but he’s kind, nice, and never complains. He doesn’t even touch the script, and he’s famous for not interfering with the shooting.”
“Maybe he’ll get along well with you?”
“Maybe not with the old you, though.”
“True.”
Even the nice Jinsuho might get angry if he met the old, nasty Yoo Yeon Seo. Of course, he would be justified in doing so.
“Hmm…”
As soon as he saw Jinsuho’s photo, he felt the same sensation as when he first saw Park Minwoo. He looked like someone who would become a future star. He was already a top actor, though.
‘Dreaming’ was a rare drama that had Jinsuho and Yoo Yeon Seo as the two male leads. The female lead had almost no presence, so he needed some information about the co-star he would work with.
‘It would be better if we became friends.’
The more connections, the better. His original body didn’t have many people in the same industry in his contacts.
The world of ‘Dreaming’ was a virtual reality world that was introduced to cure vegetative patients.
But people who were immersed in the fantasy of virtual reality didn’t want to return to reality, and some people deliberately refused to wake up, causing side effects.
And to solve this, the virtual reality solver, Jinsuho, took the role of the main character, Park Siwan. He was a mysterious character who was the illegitimate son of the company president who introduced the virtual reality world.
And Yoo Yeon Seo appeared as an AI who would help Park Siwan in the drama. He occasionally appeared and helped Park Siwan, so it didn’t interfere with his studies, and he was a juicy character who showed his face in the main scenes. He had no problem with action, and he had no problem with acting since he was already with an AI named Beta.
‘I should read the script more when I get home.’
***
“Oppa, have you ever worked with Yoo Yeon Seo?”
Jinsuho lifted his head at the words of his stylist, Lim Minji.
“Never. Maybe briefly at an awards ceremony?”
“Oh, really? I heard he has a terrible personality. What if he picks a fight with you?”
His manager, who was driving, also chimed in.
“Come on, no way. He’s done some good things lately. I heard he’s become nicer.”
“How much can he change? His personality is still there.”
“Yeah, right. He blows up the set if he doesn’t like it, right?”
“Ugh, I hate it.”
Jinsuho shook his head. It was fine now that we were in the van, but it would be troublesome if this kind of talk came out in another place.
“Don’t gossip too much.”
“Yes.”
His manager, Lee Jongsoo, immediately shut his mouth. The celebrity he was in charge of was a good-natured person who didn’t like talking behind people’s backs.
‘Poor Yoo Yeon Seo’s manager.’
Lee Jongsoo felt sorry for Yoo Yeon Seo’s manager, whom he hadn’t even seen yet.
Jinsuho fiddled with the script and sank into his thoughts. Thanks to his upright character, he got along well with the actors he worked with in the same work.
They were actors who could match their breaths in any work in the future, so it was good to be friends in advance. He was even friends with the extras he filmed his debut work with.
‘Should I be friendly with him too, since we’re the two leads?’
But he was hesitant because of his dirty personality.
Jinsuho didn’t have any regrets about Yoo Yeon Seo. He had to have feelings to hate or like him. He just didn’t have any thoughts.
But if he had to choose, he didn’t like him very much. He was a perfectionist with a high pride in his work, and he didn’t like the way Yoo Yeon Seo treated the staff and actors who worked together.
‘I don’t really want to do that… It’s tiring.’
Jinsuho closed his eyes.
When Jinsuho arrived at the meeting room for the script reading, he thought he would be the first one, but he was surprised to see Yoo Yeon Seo sitting there already.
“Hello.”
“Hi.”
Yoo Yeon Seo nodded his head briefly in greeting. This was how Yoo Yeon Seo greeted people, but Jinsuho, who didn’t know the situation, smiled awkwardly and greeted the other actors who had just arrived.
Meanwhile, Jinsuho’s manager was wiping the seat where Jinsuho would sit.
[Oh, and Jinsuho has a flaw too.]
[What is it?]
[He’s a bit of a germaphobe.]
Germaphobe, a tiring personality. His manager had a hard time. Yoo Yeon Seo pushed his coffee to the side.
“Hey, Itaegyeom. Is the coffee lukewarm?”
“I gave it to you as soon as I saw you, but you didn’t drink it.”
“I wasn’t in the mood for coffee then, you should have made it according to my mood. Didn’t you think of getting a thermos that keeps it cold?”
“Ugh.”
Itaegyeom gritted his teeth. He was too harsh for calling him a fool on New Year’s Day.
Yoo Yeon Seo sneered at Itaegyeom, who was snickering behind him. He thought he made eye contact with Jinsuho’s manager for a moment, but he must have been mistaken.
‘What did Itaegyeom do again?’
Lim Seunghyun, who was watching the scene, smiled softly. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, which made him stand out, and some people glanced at him, but he didn’t care.
“Hello!”
A few minutes later, Jung Dahee, who entered the reading room, greeted everyone cheerfully. People’s eyes were drawn to her, but she didn’t mind. She was excited about her first script reading.
Jung Dahee saw Yoo Yeon Seo, who was sitting right in front of the writer, and waved her hand.
“Yoo Yeon Seo! Seunghyun!”
“Nice to see you again.”
Yoo Yeon Seo smiled softly and nodded his head. This time, they met as a real writer and actor.
