Should I take it again? (2)
Rumors that the great army was seriously ill swept through the palace, and court ladies and eunuchs whispered among themselves whenever they were alone.
-What kind of illness is the Grand Prince?
-Isn’t the disease from the last time recurring?
– It can’t be.
– I’ve never heard of a cure for that disease in the first place. After a moment of drowsiness due to Queen Mama’s extreme love and unwillingness, she bared her teeth when Mama got caught in the horns.
The eunuchs and court ladies whispered daily about whether the disease had recurred or if they had another serious illness.
Because it was a worry about secret exchanges, the royal family, including the royal family, did not know at all.
The King’s older brother, who became a deposed crown prince due to his outrageous temperament, came to the palace and urged his younger brother.
-Jusang, you need to get rid of Yu. Only then can the royal family be preserved.
-Brother, I will take care of my son’s affairs.
– You shouldn’t be stubborn. Think of the royal family of this country. You have to get Yu out of the palace and treat him.
The king strongly rejected his brother’s urging.
Unlike usual, he strongly demanded that his older brother not mention the matter any more.
When his older brother left, the merchant ship, who had been by his side like a shadow, cautiously opened his mouth.
-Your Highness, the great army is blatantly trying to seduce the fish mind.
-Know. Ko cares about Yu, so it must be the intention to torment Ko’s heart with it.
– The Grand Army still has that in mind.
-Heh heh, since the throne I thought was mine was taken away, I’ll keep it inside until I enter the coffin.
-Sometimes the accumulation will come back as a big upset. Even if your heart is lost, boldly punish the great army…
– Stop it.
-Majesty!
– He told me to stop.
Over the disease of the young second great army, anxiety hangs over the entire city again.
The queen, who has regained her strength, searches all over the country to find the monk, but there is no way to find out where he has disappeared.
-A pine tree growing alone by the water? It’s hard to find something like that. Where would you find such a pine tree unless someone purposefully planted one near the water?
-Usually pine forest constitutes Dongryeongrim·······.
While the nobles and the people are afraid that the plague mama will infest the city again, strange rumors different from before begin to circulate.
-The doctor who examined Daegun Nari said that there were large, ugly spots all over her chest.
– Ommey. So you’re really not a mama?
-But I heard that it has a completely different aspect from Mama…
-If it’s a big and ugly birthmark, isn’t it mama?
One of the men drinking makgeolli at the tavern carefully looked around and raised a small voice so that no one would hear.
-It’s not Mama, but the word leprosy is strong.
-What is it? Leprosy!

After filming that lasted until late at night, everyone disbanded.
Jang Seung-won asked the actors not to be late for tomorrow’s schedule.
“It’s long past midnight, PD Jean. It’s not tomorrow, it’s today.”
When senior historical drama actor Lee Do-geun jokingly said something, Jang Seung-won scratched the back of his neck and laughed.
“Oops, I’m sorry. Did I shoot too long today?”
“It’s not going to be like this forever, is it? If it’s like this all the time, neither the actors nor the staff will be able to endure it. The same goes for Jean PD.”
“It’s a tight run in the beginning. If the shooting is moderately accumulated, I will have to do editing work, so the shooting schedule will naturally be spacious. Don’t worry.”
“Then PD Jean has been working hard from the beginning to the end.”
“Isn’t that the captain? I think that for every hour I play, the schedule for the upper limit is delayed by one day. Then the desire to rest completely disappears.”
“It’s a lot of trouble. Let’s have a nice meal later at a dinner party.”
“Yes, come in. Teacher.”
Jang Seung-won, who raised his head, found Han Seo-hee, who was dying.
Today, Han Seo-hee gave the most NG among actors.
The atmosphere could have turned violent, but Jang Seung-won stuck to his friendly attitude, and thanks to this, Han Seo-hee was able to get OK, although it took time.
‘Maybe it’s because it’s not a duo scene with Jeong Seo-hoon, it’s very different from the last camera test.’
The vocalization and diction are good, and the acting is not bad.
However, perhaps because of his nervousness, he keeps making subtle mistakes.
Although he passed, it was not at a very satisfactory level from Jang Seung-won’s point of view.
“Shouldn’t we have filmed the duo scene first, even if the location was a little twisted…”
Jeong Su-ryun, standing next to her with a full military standard, quietly asked.
“I guess Han Seo-hee’s acting wasn’t good, PD-nim?”
“No, no. It wasn’t bad.”
“Honestly, it was barely above the cut-off. I’m also worried that the other actors’ acting is okay, so I won’t stand out too much alone.”
“…”
“Even the acting of the child actors was good.”
“Ah, hearing this makes me shake.”
Jang Seung-won groaned and touched his chin.
“In case you don’t know, prepare for Han Seo-hee’s part today so that we can reshoot the couple scene later on. I just need to set up the props and the other performers again.”
“Yes, PD.”

Ha Tae-soo did not rest his mouth the whole time he was behind the wheel.
“To say Prince Suyang is a leper, this is novel again.”
“Hyung, the real leprosy didn’t come out. There were such nasty rumors going around.”
“Hey, tell me. Leprosy or not?”
“I don’t know either. Because it wasn’t clearly stated in the script.”
“To the point where I have to hide the contents of the play even from the manager? Did the writer ask you to?”
“You told me not to show the script to my family. But it’s not even hidden from the manager, it’s because it’s really not clear from the script. till now.”
“Anyway, leper or not, the back of the head will flash when this airs.”
Jung Soo-ryun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, murmured.
“There is no way that the story of leprosy was included in the first episode to stimulate attention for no reason. There must be a reason.”
“If you look at the background, that’s right.”
“But if you already explode like this in episode 1, how are you going to fix this from behind? The 2nd prince is a leper. It happens with historical drama viewers, this.”
Ha Tae-soo answered.
“It’s a trendy historical drama, how about it?”
“Yu is the name of the Grand Army.”
“Your last name didn’t come out. There is no mention of what era or background the royal family was in.”
“That’s right bro. Wang Ga-seong was not mentioned until the end of the drama.”
“Hey, that part is thorough again.”
“And leprosy is just a rumor. It’s not like it’s openly announced. It’s not a problem with high symptoms.”
The van was already on the verge of entering Gangnam.
Ha Tae-soo asked if he was tired as he kneaded the back of his neck.
“If the first airing is in March next year, how many months are left? How long will you wait until then?”
“Brother, if you come and go, March is right.”
“But Soo-ryun, can you come with us like this? Shouldn’t you stay and clean up with the other staff?”
“PD-nim said it would be better if he went home and gave Seo-hoon a shoulder massage while cleaning up, so just go.”
“You’re going to be stared at.”
“A day is fine. Sometimes there are days when I’m like this. Everyone lives like that.”
Jeong Seo-hoon felt the vibration of his cell phone, checked the accumulated messages, and put them back in.
Jung Soo-ryun checked in the rearview mirror and asked.
“Again, what are your ex-girlfriends whining about?”
“My girlfriends. Sounds like a big deal.”
Of course, Jeong Seo-hoon has no ex-girlfriend.
Jeong Su-ryun giggled and stretched.
“Ah, I wish I didn’t read the pre-talks of male actors. How do you feel?”
“So why didn’t you become an actor because you were good at acting?”
“What if the camera keeps coming out weird? PD Song Jeong-woo also acknowledged that, that is.”
Jeong Su-ryun fired at him as if it was ridiculous, and Ha Tae-su quietly cleared his throat from the side.

A few days have passed since we started filming.
It was late yesterday too, so Ha Tae-soo stayed in the guest room.
Ha Tae-soo, who woke up after not sleeping for several hours, quickly washed up and came down.
His actor was getting ready in the common living room on the first floor. There is no sign of fatigue on his face at all.
“What about training?”
“We waited for 10 minutes and didn’t come out, so we can just go by ourselves.”
Jeong Su-ryun barely came out in a dream in the ninth minute, and the three of them got into a van and set off for the set.
Today, at the outdoor shooting site, fans who came out to watch and waited holding placards cheered all at once when they saw Jeong Seo-hoon.
“Hey, go and comfort your wife. On the first day, I was depressed because I paid a lot of NG alone.”
Jeong Su-ryun tapped her elbow lightly and pointed at Han Seo-hee with a wink.
“I thought you would comfort me on the first day, but you just watched until the end?”
“It’s not like we’re together, but if we talk to each other for no reason, it looks like we’re messing around.”
“Who is it?”
“The manager was quite vigilant. i have to buy it too How many scandals have you had in your first year of debut? Besides, you’re underage.”
“Oh, the manager might. But isn’t it three years old? To be honest, from Han Seo-hee’s point of view, the tree must be too high for you to climb.”
“Today we are together, so let’s talk.”
For the past few days, I haven’t filmed a scene where Daegun and Daegun’s wife appear at the same time. Each filmed a scene alone or with another partner.
Today is the first day they officially stand in front of the camera together.
Jeong Seo-hoon left his seat and took a step closer to Han Seo-hee.
Feeling the presence, Han Seo-hee raised her head and her face brightened.
“Oh, brother.”
I could feel that some of the staff were staring at me at the title of older brother, but I ignored it.
“Han Seo-hee. Today is finally our first shoot together.”
“Yes! I was so nervous that I couldn’t sleep well last night. What about your brother?”
“I always get a good night’s sleep.”
“Your expression looks very good. I envy you. After all, star actors are different.”
“Because I debuted this year. What is a star actor?”
“But you signed a contract while being treated like a star in the sequel to the storage room. A star actor, then.”
The smile on Han Seo-hee’s face did not stop.
The manager was nervous and just looked around. Fortunately, there were no strange glances.
There was a little buzz in the fandom that came to see Han Seo-hee, but it wasn’t enough to bother me.
“Yesterday, I finally finished the regular run of Illegal again. It’s the second run.”
“I only saw it once during the show to check the reaction, did you drive it straight again? You are amazing.”
“The more I watch my brother’s acting, the more I fall in love with him. You’ve never learned acting, and it’s your debut, but how did you act so realistically? It seems that all the talents in the world have really been taken away.”
We talked for a few more minutes, and I could feel the tension piled up on Han Seo-hee’s shoulders.
Jeong Seo-hoon glanced at the atmosphere of the filming crew.
“I will turn the camera soon. Let’s do well together today.”
“Yes, brother.”
***
Today’s shooting schedule begins with the scene at the end of the first episode.
It is a scene that erases the days of the young Grand Army and introduces the young Grand Army to viewers.
Married princes no longer live in palaces.
Until he dies, he has to spend his whole life as a nerd, neither working nor studying, in the residence provided by the king in the capital city.
That is the fate of princes who were not born as the first prince.
The staff still vividly remember the acting scene of Han Seo-hee, who gave the most NG on the first day.
I barely got the pass, but I was so uneasy that I wondered if historical drama viewers would vomit hemoptysis.
‘I should have done well today.’
‘Still, a prickly nobleman like PD Jang tolerates it very well. What is it?’
While the staff watched nervously, the cue sign finally dropped.
“Thank you….”
The moment she recited her lines and stretched out her steps, Han Seo-hee almost staggered again.
Just like back then, the edges shimmer in white, narrowing the field of vision.
The moment I think about whether I should go to the hospital, my narrowed field of vision suddenly opens up and the appearance of the large army comes into my eyes clearly.
The cameras that should have been watching from all sides and the microphone that should have been hanging right over my head were pushed out of my consciousness.
Only the appearance of a great army and life partner is clearly visible.
Feelings for the first time swirl in your heart like a storm.
Han Seo-hee didn’t know what it was, but Daegun’s wife could clearly see it.
Endless and infinite yearning and compassion for the great army.
18-year-old Han Seo-hee has never experienced it, and 20-year-old Daegun’s wife has always harbored feelings since her marriage.
“Today, Yakju is too much.”
Whether drunk or drunk with the years, the hazy eyes of the great army look up at him helplessly.
“Does your wife ignore me now?”
At the deep grief, the wife of the king seemed to be about to shed tears, but at the end of her eyes, which were faintly bloodshot, the watering stopped.
***
“Well······.”
Han Seo-hee, who sat next to PD for monitoring, was nervous.
Jang Seung-won was watching the screen over and over again with a serious expression on his face.
There was no NG declaration, and it ended in one cue, but for some reason Han Seo-hee felt uneasy.
“Han Seo-hee, I think we have to shoot again.”
“Peddy, I’m sorry. I’m sorry too brother. Because I’m too bad…”
“No, not this, but the scene from the first day.”
“Yes?”
“I can’t use the one I took on the first day because the difference is so great. Why are you so good all of a sudden today?”
Jang Seung-won showed her a big smile for the first time.
“Very good.”
