IF YOU'RE HANDSOME LIFE IS EASIER

“What am I even looking at right now?”

Cameraman Ji Jang-min didn’t notice that his eyes were bloodshot.

Not even a blink of an eye could be spared in this moment.

Every fiber of his being was screaming to put down the camera.

“Just look at that, savor it properly!”

But what held him back was Ji Jang-min’s professional pride.

He had lived for the camera, locking his gaze in to capture the best moments.

Kim Donghu, or rather Lee Jae-yi, was going insane.

While pouring his emotions into the piano, he suddenly fixed his gaze on the camera.

“Look at me, only me, put me in your eyes.”

If you look at anything inferior, I’ll kill you.

“Face my disdain directly.”

Even with no knowledge of the piano,

“I can feel it.”

It became clear what Kim Donghu, or rather Lee Jae-yi, wanted to express.

And this resonated even more deeply with those who witnessed Lee Jae-yi in real life, not just on the screen.

“Oh wow, just watching him play gives me chills.”

PD Kim Youngmo momentarily fell into the illusion that he was at a concert.

Perfect immersion, really, would Lee Jae-yi be like this if he were alive?

Even with simple practice, he would never take it lightly.

To constantly prove he is a genius, he must face disdain every day.

The loneliness of a brilliant genius was palpable.

And before long, the performance was reaching its peak.

The grand piano differs from an ordinary piano in the pedals.

Sostenuto, the middle pedal, plays a role in handling the delicacy of sound.

The emotional delivery changes due to the distaste only Lee Jae-yi can express.

The nuance matters.

The writer Lee Minha was now on the verge of fainting.

“Ah…ah.”

To be honest, there have been quite a few times when characters written by the writer came to life through acting.

Especially for popular writers like Lee Minha, it’s often the case.

But I can unequivocally say there’s never been anything like this.

That was not acting.

The real Lee Jae-yi was there, playing the piano.

No matter how much applause he received in front of countless spectators,

He didn’t get the applause he most wanted,

Instead, he faced scorn,

A flower blossoming from the roots of hatred.

Lee Jae-yi truly tore up the script and appeared.

“I-I have to work with Kim Donghu in the next project, absolutely, definitely… no matter what, I’ll cast him as the lead, Kim Donghu, I’m with Kim Donghu…”

A catharsis that can’t be described with words stirred throughout his body.

The extreme excitement toggled between relaxation and tension.
