IF YOU'RE HANDSOME LIFE IS EASIER

“Hey seniors, how’s it going!”

Nod, nod.

A tall boy appears in the distance, making his presence felt with a huge greeting.

Like a star atop a Christmas tree adorned with every kind of gem.

If the brilliance of the Milky Way were turned into a person, it might look like him.

The filming set of “High Dream” buzzed with excitement at Kim Donghu’s arrival.

“Did Donghu come?”

“Yeah, hyung, how have you been?”

“Me? Well…”

The first person to exchange greetings with Kim Donghu, Jin Su-hyuk, who plays the male lead Song Cheolsu, smiled awkwardly.

“…I’ve been okay.”

To tell the truth, he hadn’t been okay.

Ever since Kim Donghu showcased that talent on set, everyone’s expectations for acting skyrocketed.

Thanks to that, the rookie actors were feeling the heat.

Of course, nobody outright said,

– “Can’t you do it like Kim Donghu?”

But you could tell from their eyes.

Those eyes oddly seemed to expect something more.

They hoped to at least capture a shred of the vibe Kim Donghu brought.

As that vague tension hung around the filming location,

Kim Donghu reappeared, an undeniable presence that made everyone uneasy.

Plus, today was the day they were shooting the making film.

Which meant if things went wrong, it could go horribly awry.

‘But today should be okay.’

Jin Su-hyuk reassured himself thinking about the shooting schedule.

There were no scenes where they would directly clash today.

‘We’re just performing in our individual practice rooms.’

The competition that “High Dream” had to win, Midara.

Today’s filming involved a scene of their grueling practice for that competition,

For Kim Donghu, it was solo practice and a scheming scene with Principal Wang Ho.

“Is your singing practice really tough?”

“Yeah, but I’ll do my best not to be a burden to my seniors!”

Since “High Dream” is set in an arts high school,

Musical instruments or vocals were essential.

Over the past few months of shooting, the “High Dream” members improved significantly through their blood, sweat, and tears.

Now, they had reached a level that was catchy and pleasant to listen to.

For some reason, Jin Su-hyuk suddenly felt tension in his shoulders.

Confidence supporting him like armor.

“Yeah, hang in there.”

Honestly, he was convinced that in this part, he would win.

Coming from an idol background at ST Entertainment,

It made no sense for him to lose to a rookie in music.
