A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 56
Arriving at the ‘Video Action Academy’, we first entered the indoor gym.
All kinds of exercise equipment and mats were spread on the floor of that wide place, and on shelves, spears, swords, axes, mace, iron pipes, and even pistols were on display.
“The smell of sweat vibrates from the entrance here.”
Also, the sour smell of sweat permeated everywhere, even though all sides were open.
Not surprisingly, sweat drips down the stuntmen’s faces during high-intensity training.
It was hard for me to see.
‘This means that Woo-hyuk and Yu-ri are taking stamps for work three times a week here.’
The hard work of the two actors seemed to be in front of my eyes, and my heart ached.
Especially Mr. Yuri.
With that slender body, he is doing the same exercise intensity as Gam Woo-hyuk…
Opal ace ‘Ji-Hyeon Han”s martial arts are top-notch, so there’s nothing I can do about it.
just thank you
I wanted to meet you soon and cheer for you while saying ‘Fighting’.
“But I can’t see Woohyuk and Yuri. When I called the manager earlier, he said he was definitely here…”
Director Oh Sang-sik looked for the two actors and turned his head around like a meerkat. Stars have an aura, so they can be seen anywhere…
“Aha. There is an outdoor practice area behind the yogi… it seems to be there.”
“is that so?”
“yes. No doubt. Writer, follow me.”
Director Oh Sang-sik is familiar with this place.
I followed him without saying a word.
thump. thump.
thump. thump.
I go out and pass through a wide field, round the corner once, and again,
You can feel the aura!
Everyone was there with nothing to see.
‘You were here.’
The excitement of meeting Min Yu-ri made me smile without realizing it. I grabbed the supermarket bag in my hand once more and wiggled around the corner.
By the way
oh!
evil!
Min Yuri stumbled a couple of times on a high railing and fell right down.
I witnessed it with my own two eyes in real time.
no!! No way!!
There was nothing to think about.
He threw the mart bag in his hand into the air and ran.
I was in a hurry, so the ground was shaking and I couldn’t speed.
just ran
Because I absolutely had to get it.
Even if my arms are broken.
Even if my head is broken.
You mustn’t hurt Yuri’s hair, not even a single strand.
aww!
fleeting moment,
Hold the landing point, bend your legs slightly, and spread your arms out,
The free fall supported Min Yu-ri’s buttocks and back.
success!
success?
oh, but that’s weird
I thought my arm was going to break
too light
There was no feeling of weight in the arms that received Min Yu-ri.
Obviously, Yuri is in my arms with a surprised face…
An unfamiliar feeling against the physical forces of this world.
Let’s look around carefully…
The floor is covered with blue mats in layers.
The stuntmen and staff around me were looking at me with expressions like, ‘What is it?’
“Oops! Writer.”
“yes. Yuri.”
“When did you come?”
In the meantime, Min Yu-ri, who was held in my arms, smiled softly,
“just now.”
I still answer her while holding her.
and at the same time
“excuse me. Writer Yoon.”
Director Oh Sang-sik’s voice is heard from behind.
Let’s take a quick look back,
“Yuri is practicing right now. look at this. You’re doing the wire.”
“Oh~.”
Director Oh Sang-sik’s finger pointed to Min Yu-ri’s back. There was a strong, secure white cord hanging from it.
“this.”
Now everything was figured out.
Min Yuri was rehearsing the scene where she jumped off the railing when I suddenly ran into her.
In a word, I suddenly appeared and sat around her.
‘Somehow it weighed 0g. Oh, it’s a shame.’
I understand the situation, but
I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m stumbling around,
“Writer, you have a bigger heart than I thought. I hug you wide. Oh, it’s comfortable.”
It was fortunate that Min Yu-ri, still in my arms, felt good.
***
Even after a brief incident, Min Yuri practiced falling off the obstacle several more times. There was no fuss about being a woman or being a top star.
“Mr. Yuri. My arms tremble when I fall. Let’s reduce the motion a little and try again.”
“yes.”
Min Yuri jumps down again without hesitation at the action director’s order. Even if the wire was attached, it was not completely without shock, but there was no hesitation at all.
“Mr. Yuri. I think I can do this kind of action with a stuntman… Why bother?”
I showed my regret as I supported Min Yuri as she was about to stand up from the mat.
“The movement of ‘Han Ji-hyun’ is almost everything that falls, bounces and crashes.”
“yes. It does.”
I know it well because I wrote it that way.
“However, if the actor’s face doesn’t appear every time he falls, the viewers will be very frustrated. Once or twice is fine, but later on, I can’t feel it and I can’t get into it.”
“ah.”
“I hate that. Especially for this ‘Han Ji-hyun’, I will make everything from one to ten.”
As I listened to her story, my eyes twinkled and my cheekbones were ascending without realizing it. What an actor with such a great idea.
“uh? uh? The smiling face of our writer.”
“Oh, did I? When an actor says something like that, the writer goes crazy.”
“Then I made the writer laugh.”
“yes. Right.”
We looked at each other and smiled broadly.
Then Min Yuri claps her hands.
“Then I have to work harder.”
“yes? more? No, he… you don’t have to… even now… that’s enough…”
Min Yuri smiles again.
Her face line got a little sharper, but she was so cute at this time.
“Mr. Yuri. Shall we go one more time?”
“yes. Director.”
In response to the action director’s request, Min Yuri climbed up the railing again.
I’m watching it endlessly,
“Here, writer. Even though Woohyuk is practicing, shall we go?”
Director Oh Sang-sik tapped my arm and pointed to Gam Woo-hyuk in the corner over there.
Oh, yes, there was also Gam Woo-hyuk.
“Yes. I also see Woo Hyuk.”
“yes.”
Gam Woo-hyuk seemed to be engaged in bare-handed martial arts all year round, but even from afar, he was full of power.
“There, Mr. Yuri. I’ll go for a while. Be careful not to get hurt.”
“Huh, okay. Hurry.”
Min Yuri smiled broadly and waved her hand, and I waved too.
***
Pot! Pot! Pot!
Gam Woo-hyuk’s fighting is raw.
Although he had never formally learned martial arts, he was reproducing the ‘Gil Byung-soo’ who fights with overwhelming physical strength.
‘At first glance, it looks like they’re just fighting, but each other’s limbs interlock with precision like cogs.’
I was amazed at how much I put together.
wow wow
clap clap
Director Oh Sang-sik and I clapped with a burst of cheers.
Gam Woo-hyuk found us just then and came closer.
“Oh, it must be our writer. Nice to see you here. When did you come?”
‘yes? Gyeongsang-do dialect.’
Gam Woo-hyuk was spitting out greetings in his dialect.
It was a little awkward and squeaky, but I could definitely feel that I was working hard.
“Wow, Woo Hyuk. I’m all from Gyeongsang-do. When did you learn all that? Martial arts alone would have been overwhelming.”
“Ah, it seems that our writer doesn’t know well? Among the forest acting fountains, there is a Sam who specializes in dialects and is a gelkaju. I learned to bask in that fountain.”
Director Oh Sang-sik and I laughed out loud, no matter who came first.
Because I was very shy.
Gam Woo-hyuk’s appearance in the role of ‘Gil Byung-soo’.
In fact, the dialect only appears in the first few scenes. The setting is unavoidable because Gil Byung-soo’s hometown is Masan.
However, after coming to Seoul, I use half and half, and later I use Seoul. Excessive dialect may interfere with immersion in the play.
However, Gam Woo-hyuk studied dialect for ‘Gil Byung-soo’ in the first few scenes.
‘This is the perfect casting for the lead role. Yuri and Woohyuk. It moves me so much.’
I am so admired,
The martial arts director came.
“Now, let’s do the scene where Gil Byung-soo and the gods of the Five Mountains fight each other in Episode 6, Scene 71. It’s a one-on-one action.”
“yes.”
The stuntman actors, including Gam Woo-hyuk, moved in unison to match, and director Oh Sang-sik and I quietly retreated to the side so as not to disturb them.
When you’re ready,
“Ready, action.”
At the director’s signal, the action began.
Stuntmen playing Shindo, the God of Obulsan, surround and attack Kam Woo-hyeok from all sides.
Intense movements of running into, hitting, getting hit, blocking, and falling down.
The actors were creating the scene with all their might, using the tools and props they brought with them appropriately.
By the way
‘It’s a bit different from the video I’ve seen…’
My heart was not satisfied.
The action itself is cool, but it’s definitely different from what I saw on the channel.
After a while, when the action was over, director Oh Sang-shik applauded as if he liked it and praised the martial arts director.
clap clap
“When did you put all of these scenes together? It’s perfect.”
“yes. There are many original action scenes for Opalju, so I’m going to prepare them step by step. Or I think I will be too busy later.”
“My martial arts coach is so attentive to me, so I feel more at ease. How did the author see it? Do you like…?”
Director Oh Sang-sik glanced at me when I didn’t respond.
“Ah, our writer Yoon, this look again. Just this face. you came again Is something on your mind?”
Just by looking at my face, it’s okay to pretend.
Oh Sang-sik realized at once that I didn’t like this action scene.
That moment,
The martial arts director held out his hand to me. It was still before Tongseongmyeong.
“Ah, this is the author. hello. I am Director Do Kang-cheol, who is in charge of martial arts acting here at the academy.”
“Nice to meet you. This is the writer Jaeho Yoon. You are suffering a lot because of me. Opalju has a lot of action scenes, right?”
“no. It’s good that we have a lot of work to do. In this recession… but… the writer doesn’t seem to like our action.”
“Oh, yes, a little.”
“This is because the actual action is a little different from what you think in your head.”
Do Kang-chul, the martial arts director, is slightly displeased.
“I know that well enough. just.”
“yes. If you have any comments, please tell me. If I can convince you, I will do whatever you want.”
Still, it didn’t seem like he was clogged up.
Do Kang-cheol opened the door of his heart and prepared to listen. I was ready to speak.
“Then it’s not enough, but I’ll tell you something. First of all, the action itself is perfect and okay.”
“yes.”
“However, the movements of the members of the Five Mountain Gods are not natural… They follow the orders of ‘Jeong Ju-hak’. For them, Juhak Jeong’s order is absolute obedience. Your brain is in control.”
The martial arts director nodded.
“So, it’s not a refined move like it is now, but rather a zombie-like ignorance. Like iron pipes, knives, axes, and snatching prey all at once… They have no pain or fear of death. So there is no reason to hesitate.”
“Oh, I understand what you mean. But if they rush in all at once, ‘Byung-su’ won’t be able to deal with them one by one.”
Do Kang-cheol is full of doubts as if he doesn’t understand.
“No. ‘Byung-su’ in opal is the Insa River. In short, the physical is the weapon. Take a look.”
I walked to a group of stuntmen to demonstrate. And it was accompanied by an explanation.
“look at this. As soon as you see it, you shoot it with one punch, and block the hitting wooden and iron pipes with your arms and back. The devotees running like crazy rushed forward like a lineman in American football, knocking two or three people off the wall with their shoulders, grabbing this big guy…”
He grabbed a big stuntman by the collar and pushed him. As seen in the video.
“Here, you break a window and use him as a cushion to jump off the fourth floor.”
The martial arts director, stuntmen, and even Gam Woo-hyuk were mesmerized by the unobstructed and accurate demonstration.
“That… that would be fine.”
Martial arts director Do Kang-cheol, who regained consciousness after a while, nodded.
And the scene was corrected on the spot as I said.
***
After practice is over, it’s time to say goodbye.
“Today, I was very moved by watching Kam Woo-hyuk and Min Yu-ri. I didn’t think you would work this hard. I think the drama will come out well.”
“If you don’t practice even this much, you won’t be able to film even the first episode and you’ll pass out.”
Even though her body is tired, her face is full of energy.
“Oh, Director. When are we going to start filming? My body aches and itches.”

Kam Woo-hyeok’s strong muscles protrude through his shirt when he stretches.
“There will be a staff meeting with the actors within two weeks at the latest after casting is finished. Filming will start right away.”
Oh Sang-shik, the director, answered,
“Has the actor to play ‘Jung Joo-hak’ decided? I’m very curious.”
Min Yuri rushed at me.
“Um… I’m sorry, but that’s a secret. I decided to keep ‘Jeong Ju-hak’ tightly hidden.”
“yes? Where is that? So I’m more curious. Author, can’t you just tell me a little bit?”
“a little?”
“yes.”
He slowly pushed his face toward Min Yuri, whose eyes were twinkling. Looking around carefully to see who will listen.
When my lips got close enough to feel her skin tense,
“No.”
whispered low.
“Child.”
Min Yuri pushed my chest and wrinkled her nose.
“But I can tell you one thing.”
“What is it?”
She gets closer again.
“The actor who took on the role of ‘Jung Joo-hak’ is also practicing terribly.”
“ah.”
“Five.”
Min Yu-ri and Gam Woo-hyuk quietly nodded their heads.
