I was immediately mistaken for a monster genius actor - Episode 234
The high school where the past scenes of ‘The Stranger’ were filmed. It was late in the morning. The hallway at the entrance to the music room was filled with dozens of staff members from ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’. Actors are also visible. Several filming devices were set up around it..
Director Kyotaro was sitting in front of the monitor..
“······”
He and the entire 'Familiar' team held their breath. About half of the time I looked inside the music room, and about half of the time I was staring at the monitor with Director Kyotaro's face on it. To be precise, I saw Kang Woo-jin wearing a school uniform in the music room..
The cue sign is already gone.
In other words, Kang Woo-jin in the music room has already started acting. She was now being captured on camera as 'Iyota Kiyoshi'. Director Kyotaro, full of gray eyes, watches Kiyoshi with a twinkle in his eye..
‘Yeah, that's the vibe.’
In fact, the scene we are filming now was a cut that was not in the planned filming storyboard. Of course, it was there in the original work, but it was removed during the adaptation. However, director Kyotaro revived the scene. I made a hasty production and plan yesterday and started filming today..
Even so, there was no need to be in such a hurry..
What made director Kyotaro excited was Kang Woo-jin's piano performance two days ago. The sight I saw in the restaurant, the energy that stole the souls of dozens of guests, the overflowing emotion and emotion. Japanese master director Kyotaro, who saw this clearly with his own eyes, became unbearably greedy..
I wanted to capture it on camera as quickly as possible..
And now Kang Woo-jin. Kiyoshi was sitting at the black piano.
“······”
His face, looking down at the open piano, was intangible. The pupils and the surrounding air are extremely dry. Normally, it would be a memory, but to Kiyoshi, it was just a piano key..
“long time no see.”
He mutters flatly. I slowly placed my hands on the piano keys. My entire veins were already full of Kiyoshi, so my heart was dead. Kang Woo-jin and Kiyoshi pulled up 'piano' among his abilities before pressing his fingers on the keyboard..
There was no problem.
Because I already had experience raising my abilities when I was filled with roles that were engraved on me. For example, Corporal Jin Seon-cheol in ‘Island of the Missing’. Woojin used sign language to express his dual personality without words..
It's just changed to a piano now.
Kiyoshi let out a small breath and moved his fingers..
-♬♪
A rough melody flowed from the old piano. The song was ‘Carousel of Life’ from ‘Howl is the Moving Castle’. This was also director Kyotaro's choice, and Kiyoshi, with an expressionless face, played the piano a little slowly..
It was strange.
I couldn't feel any emotion even when playing the piano. It was just a sound. The front and back of the sound were connected, but it was hard and soft. The owner playing the piano had no expression, and his piano playing was expressionless..
-♬♪
But Kiyoshi didn't stop playing..
At that moment, the actors who had witnessed Kang Woo-jin play the piano at a restaurant two days ago opened their eyes. Mifuyuna actresses even covered their mouths with one hand..
‘It’s completely different from back then, isn’t it? I don't know why, but it's definitely different..’
‘The playing skills are similar, but why is there such a difference? Is it possible that he can also act by playing the piano??’
‘Should I say it sounds like a robot playing the piano??’
‘It's so different that it gives me goosebumps.’
Since they didn't know much about piano, they couldn't make a clear decision. It's just that the dry piano melody I hear right now gives me a mysterious feeling. However, Director Kyotaro had some knowledge of the piano. Because he often went to piano recitals, although not often..
That's why I knew it.
“I'm talking to myself.”
The piano Kiyoshi plays now lacks the purpose of conveying something to the other person. I'm just muttering to myself.
-♬♪
Here, the camera angle that was filming Kiyoshi in front of the piano was lowered slightly. His figure, where even his head was visible, now only illuminated his back. And then someone walked into the angle where Kiyoshi was alone. Calm steps. He wore the same school uniform but with a skirt..
She was behind Kiyoshi playing the piano, stood for a moment and then sat down next to him..
Two people were displayed on the monitor..
The head of both was not visible. All the woman did was sit next to Kiyoshi. She was ‘Misaki Toka’. No, more accurately, it was in the form of Kiyoshi's memory..
Or it was my imagination. It was the past.
Kiyoshi summoned the non-existent Toka. That's why she just exists here and she hasn't taken any action..
It was that moment.
-♬♪
The piano melody of Kiyoshi, who had been dry and twisted and constantly talking to himself, suddenly changed. It was from the moment Toka appeared. I could faintly hear emotions as Woojin played the piano. It gradually gained strength.
He was talking to her..
Something new was seeping into the sound that was nothing. The difference between the beginning and now, the emotions were very different. Even if you don't know how to play the piano, you'll know right away when you hear it..
This also feels bizarre.
Director Kyotaro’s aim was clear. In this cut, I wanted to let people know the faint feelings of Kiyoshi Iyota, a ‘stranger’. Kiyoshi says his mind is just bizarre but not dead.
-Sooooo.
The camera moved sideways behind Kiyoshi's back. Before we knew it, Toka's seat was empty. Kiyoshi had stopped remembering. The camera slowly moves up Kiyoshi's chest and onto his face..
“······”
Kang Woo-jin is expressionless. Kiyoshi was still the same. and.
-♬♪
The piano he played became clunky again. I'm talking to myself without any emotion. Soon, dozens of staff members swallowed their saliva. This scene should have been filmed. Everyone had that kind of expression.
What about actors??
‘It's overwhelming. no need to say anything else.’
‘The nothingness and the being are so clear... I can't take my eyes off it. Even though it's just a scene of playing the piano.’
‘That actor can do anything through acting. It's a truly enviable ability.’
Around here.
“after-”
Director Kyotaro, with his face pressed against the monitor, ate his appetite. Of course it was OK. But it's a waste. He wanted to appreciate it a little more. Soon he remembered the future audience..
“There is no way not to fall in love with this absurd variation....”
Because I was sure they felt the same way..
backwards.
Kang Woo-jin’s time began to melt away. Today, on Sunday, filming for ‘The Stranger’ continued without a break..
Nevertheless.
“Cut!! OOOOK! Okay, Woojin.!”
‘The filming process for ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ was fast. Because Kiyoshi Kang Woo-jin became the starting point, the quality of the actors has improved even further. In other words, the NG cut was significantly reduced. Thanks to this, the filming storyboard progressed quickly..
Meanwhile, around the afternoon of the same day. Episode 2 of ‘Our Table’ was airing in Korea..
2The content of the episode is the reason why foreigners stand in a long line in front of a food truck, 'Our Table' introduced by locals in LA, the relationship between an elderly couple chef and a reporter, and the members of 'Our Table' who greet customers with great enthusiasm. went on the airwaves.
There were more reactions from foreigners in this second episode than in episode 1..
[“oh! Is this delicious? What did you say the name of the food was??”]
[“It's written on the menu. Gwijaban Makguksu? It's so delicious?”]
[“Yes, I won't get sick of it even if I eat it every day..”]
[“Then I want to try it too.”]
Everyone praised the cooking skills of main chef Kang Woo-jin. In addition, Woojin’s improvisations also shined. Mistakes occur while operating a food truck, catering to the tastes of foreign customers, etc. It was an episode that highlighted the popularity of ‘Kimjaban Makguksu’ and his courage..
- Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
-I also want to eat Kimjaban’s Makguksu!!!! please sell me!!!!
-↑ㅇㅈ Besides makguksu, I want to try all of Kang Woo-jin’s dishes......
- But it seems like the members at our table were chosen really well hahaha the chemistry is so good haha PD Yoon definitely has good eyes.
-Today, Kang Woo -jin's leadership is coming.
-..........Sunday is over like this...how will I survive until next week?.....
-Yeon Baek-gwang hahaha Kang Woo-jin's only way to sleep is like some kind of puppy hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-Hong Hye-yeon and Hwarin were honorable today too.
- Chef's installment plan haha. Am I the only one who finds it cute that I fell in love with Woojin's cooking and keeps coming back????
Then the weekend ended and Monday came again. And January is over. February 1st. February has begun.
2The busiest thing from the first morning of the month is.
“Why is the atmosphere on set here like this? It’s completely different from when we were in a meeting..”
Song Man-woo, the drama giant, was the producer. He was on the set under construction early in the morning, leading the charge..
“Set team, please bring the confirmed storyboard. Only I can see what went wrong??”
Unlike 'Leech', which is in the mid to late part of Free, 'Beneficial Evil' has entered the middle part..
But it was almost simultaneous.
Anyway, after producer Song Man-woo confirmed Kang Woo-jin as the main lead, he carefully searched for actors and also focused on script work. Other things were also very meticulous. Script meeting, martial arts storyboard, location hunting, set confirmation, actors' meeting, etc. were more detailed than ever before..
Because the direction of production could have changed to pre-production..
The reason was simple.
As an outsourced production company, 'Beneficial Evil' has begun production, but a broadcasting company has not yet been decided. Therefore, the production of 'Beneficial Evil' has not yet been announced to the outside world. Of course, everyone from public broadcasting to general programming and cable channels was greedy, but producer Song Man-woo took pains to check the conditions. The possibility is high that SBC made Hanryang, but there is no need to decide right away..
Because there were parts where the conditions could be upgraded further..
There is something I have kept hidden until now..
Producer Song Man-woo instructed that to the head of the production department..
“Let’s open Woojin soon. Because I already put bw enter and the conversation is over.”
“Ah, shall we begin??”
“I have to do it. Just spill it like a piece of rice cake. Like me and Woojin getting back together..”
“Wow, the PD and the writer Choi Nana of ‘Male Friend’ alone were powerful, but if you add Kang Woo-jin as well, the broadcasters will be drooling..”
Producer Song Man-woo smiled as he recalled the broadcasting companies he had met with..
“The table will turn over.”
Then, around late Monday morning.
The first issue was published.
『[[Official] The overall viewership rating for episode 2 of ‘Our Table’ has risen again. 19.3%』
‘These were the ratings for ‘Our Table’. It broke a record in the entertainment industry with 19.3%. It was a result that included many reasons. The quality of ‘Our Table’, word-of-mouth, Kang Woo-jin’s numerous issues, the recognition of the cast, the ‘Our Table’ team’s hard-working publicity, etc..
In addition, there was also the fact that there was nothing to watch in recent domestic entertainment shows..
『While writing the plum legend, 'Our Table' scored 19.3%... And this time, Kang Woo-jin succeeded too.』
In other words, Kang Woo-jin was writing history in entertainment as well..
Following the footsteps of ‘Our Table’.
『[[Exclusive] The two main characters who created the Miracle of Hanryang are coming together, producer Song Man-woo, a big name in dramas, confirms ‘acting monster’ Kang Woo-jin as the male lead in his next film.!』
‘The first bite of ‘beneficial evil’ has been thrown.
Same time, Tokyo, Japan. Kashihi Group Headquarters.
An incredibly large chairman's room where everything from the sofa to the desk looks expensive. There was a man in a suit standing in front of the large window of that place..
“······”
It was Chairman Hideki, the head of the Kashihi Group, with white hair down to his eyebrows. He is staring out his window with his hands in his pockets. Even though I was on a high floor, it was a sight to see the whole of Tokyo beneath my feet..
at that time.
-smart.
A knock rang throughout the president's office. Chairman Hideki reacted immediately and opened his mouth with his gaze out the window. It was a rough and deep voice..
“come in.”
Soon, there was a click and the door to the president's office opened. The one who entered was Chief of Staff Riri Tetsugawa, with her hair neatly tied in one line..
“President.”
“Um, yeah.”
She must have had a lot to report, so she brought more than just one item. From reports to tablets and more. Next, Chairman Hideki returned to his seat at the large desk, and Lili, standing in front of the desk, recited the report in a calm voice. Numerous topics were discussed. Chairman Hideki nodded his head and looked down at the report Lili held out..
Then.
“yes.”
Chairman Hideki raised his head as if remembering something, and his eyes landed on Lili..
“Was it last week? How was the filming of ‘Unfamiliar Parasite’ at our hotel?.”
‘This refers to what the ‘Unfamiliar Gisaeng’ team filmed at ‘Kasihi Tokyo Hotel’. Chairman Hideki has been so busy lately that he hasn't been able to pay much attention to it, but he has always been thinking about 'unfamiliar parasites'. To be precise, it is about the object of investment. 'Familiar Gisaeng' and Kang Woo-jin or BW Enter.
Anyway, Lili, who bowed her head slightly, suddenly handed the tablet she was wearing at her side to Chairman Hideki..
“First of all, I was informed that the filming itself was completed without any problems. I also checked photos of the hotel area..”
Chairman Hideki crossed his arms and asked back..
“first? Why for now.”
“That is······”
Chief of Staff Lili was speechless for some reason. Chairman Hideki narrowed his wrinkled brow..
“Something happened?”
“It's an incident, but-”
Then, perhaps deciding that it would be better to see it in person rather than explaining it, Lili bent down and manipulated the tablet in front of Chairman Hideki. What she accessed was the Japanese YouTube channel. Riri typing something in the search bar.
The search term in Japanese was like this.
-‘Woojin Kang piano’
As soon as he confirmed it, Chairman Hideki further narrowed the gap between his eyes..
“Woojin Kang piano? What is this.”
“Just look at this, Chairman..”
Lili pushes the tablet further towards the chairman. Chairman Hideki’s face naturally lowered. The screen was displaying results according to the search term just entered..
however.
“······hmm?”
There were more than one video that came out as a result. No, on the contrary, it was a state where an enormous amount was crushed..
-Kang Woo-jin's piano performance while filming Strange Gisaeng in Japan!!!
-Kang Woo-jin was a pianist in the past (there is a scene where he plays the piano))
-Piano version of ‘Carousel of Life’ by popular Korean actor Kang Woo-jin! I took this photo myself at Kashihi Tokyo Hotel.!!

The number of views was also unusual. It didn't seem boring to have as little as 100,000 or as much as 1 million. Chairman Hideki touched a title containing the name of Kang Woo-jin, the piano, and the hotel..
Video that plays immediately.
I was a little shaken at first. Obviously, it was taken with a cell phone. Next, a large luxury restaurant and dozens of customers were shown on the screen, and the back of a man sitting in front of a white piano was displayed. And then he started playing the piano.
-♬♪
At the same time, Lili, who was standing in front, spoke softly in Japanese..
“That man is Kang Woo-jin..”
“······wait for a sec.”
President Hideki stopped her words and took a moment to enjoy the piano melody. That's roughly a few tens of seconds.
“Huh, that's surprising..”
Lili continued to explain to Chairman Hideki, who eventually opened his mouth..
“Last Friday, we confirmed that Woojin played the piano on the spot at the restaurant inside the hotel..”
“Did you know how to play the piano? It even sounds very high-end. how.”
“If his name wasn't revealed, he might be confused with a pianist. There are actually a lot of confusing comments..”
The woman who was briefing asked Chairman Hideki's understanding, then moved her index finger to change the screen on the tablet. The main page of YouTube is displayed. Among them, I touched ‘Real-time popular video ranking’. Chairman Hideki said exactly what he saw..
“1Above is ‘Kang Woo-jin’s piano’..”
“4There are quite a few above and below. and.”
Lili paused for a moment, turned off YouTube, and logged onto Twitter. Currently, it is the most used SNS by Japanese people, such as Instagram..
You can understand current trends and hot issues in Japan..
What Riri turned on on Twitter was ‘Real-time Trend Ranking’. In other words, it refers to the keywords that are currently receiving the most attention from the Japanese public..
[1.#Woojin Kang playing piano]
[2.#Kang Woo-jin, the carousel of life]
Here too, Kang Woo-jin's name appears in both first and second places. Also, the piano.
Chairman Hideki's eyes widened considerably..
“······Does this mean Twitter has been swallowed up by this issue?.”
As if Riri is not the end.
“The video goes viral. The situation with Instagram is similar, Chairman.. ”
I answered calmly.
“It's taking over Japan's top three SNS..”
