Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 39

039. Wrap-Up Party (1)

2021.12.09.

[If I hadn’t committed such a grave sin… Her brother also left so young… How could this happen to our Yeojin too…?] A woman, constantly wiping away tears, caresses the lying figure. Kim Tae-hoon, following her hand, is deeply shocked. The woman lying there has the exact same appearance as So Yeojin’s soul. Shocked, Kim Tae-hoon quickly goes to find the Grim Reaper. Episode 16 ends with Kim Tae-hoon bursting into the office, the Grim Reaper turning to look at him. “People are so quick-witted these days. These viewers are practically mind readers!” No need for a Maitreya [a future Buddha], no need. Writer Min, saying that, looked extremely tired. As the various online communities and social media were in an uproar, Yeonwoo’s character, the Grim Reaper, was facing death. To be precise, he would choose to sacrifice himself for the female lead, So Yeojin. Not now, but in the upcoming episodes 17 and 18, that’s how the story unfolds.

“If Yeonwoo just said one word to save him, he could be saved… Is there no way?”

“No. There isn’t.”

“Why…!”

“You know that forcibly changing the direction will ruin everything, right?”

“Well, yes…”

It’s not that Writer Min doesn’t know. Writer Min also knows which direction will result in a more complete story and perfect dramatic direction. However, the viewers’ opinions, and Writer Min’s own affection, have grown. For the character of the Grim Reaper, played by Yeonwoo.

“Still, wouldn’t it be too bad to end it like this? We could just switch the male lead to Yeonwoo!”

“No. I don’t want to ruin the quality of this drama.”

“Ah… so cold…”

Kwon Seonghyun is always like a puppy in front of Yeonwoo, but working with him, she understands. Why this person is called a top actor. Why Kwon Seonghyun is called an irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind actor.

‘It was unusual from the moment he had more than five special skills…’

When acting, Kwon Seonghyun wasn’t Kwon Seonghyun, but Kim Tae-hoon himself. She used frame composition, impeccable pronunciation, and understanding of intentions, but the best she could do was to avoid being consumed by Kwon Seonghyun. Actor Kwon Seonghyun was different, to the point where she might be swept away if she wasn’t careful.

‘Well, I learned a lot thanks to him.’

Thanks to the power of her special abilities, Yeonwoo learned quite a bit from Kwon Seonghyun’s acting. It was like having a one-on-one lesson from a top actor right next to her.

“But Yeonwoo… you’re thinking that much about it? I’m about to get emotional.”

Yeonwoo smiled silently.

‘It has to be remembered as a masterpiece for a long time.’

If the ending is ruined, the entire drama is ruined. No matter how solid and well-developed the story is until the ending, if it fails at the end, it’s just a disappointment, no, a complete disaster.

‘If this is a big hit, my career will have a solid start.’

It was a reason mixed with personal ambition.

“At this rate, I’ll really live a long life…”

“Well, you’re not completely killing him off, are you? It’ll be fine.”

The Grim Reaper dies. But the ending that Writer Min had hinted at when she contacted her before completing the script…

“Okay. Then I’ll just proceed as Yeonwoo says…? Are you really okay with it?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, my. Other people would do anything to get their roles extended, even rewrite the script to bring back characters that were supposed to die. How come Yeonwoo doesn’t have any of that? Oh, my. Oh, my.”

Writer Min muttered regretfully.

“Oh, are you leaving, Writer Min?”

“Since our Yeonwoo has given me a definite answer, I’ll finish it up neatly and hand over the script, so wait for it.”

Writer Min staggered back with her notebook. And a few days later.

“Everyone, you’ve worked hard!”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

“It’s over! You’ve worked hard!”

“Finally, the wrap-up party!”

The last filming on set was over.

***

“Yeonwoo, you’re here?”

“You came with Seonghyun.”

After all the filming was finished. A Korean BBQ restaurant in Yeouido [a district in Seoul], where the wrap-up party was being held. The staff’s attention was focused on Yeonwoo and Kwon Seonghyun as they entered.

“There were so many reporters outside, were you able to get in okay?”

“I thought I was at a film festival, not a Korean BBQ restaurant…”

“There was even a red carpet and reporters swarming around; it was almost like a film festival.”

As the welcoming staff said, the front of the Korean BBQ restaurant was extremely crowded.

“Well… it was fine.”

Yeonwoo shrugged and replied.

“Really? I wouldn’t think they’d let you off so easily…”

“These days, the public is attacking them, so they’ve become a little less aggressive, but they’re still like hyenas by nature,” a production assistant muttered.

“Really. The reporters were even taking pictures from a distance. Thanks to that, I came in very comfortably.”

Kwon Seonghyun answered.

-Yeonwoo. You see them outside, right? If you get out, reporters will swarm you in all likelihood. There are many eyes watching, so they won’t be too harsh, but there will be guys trying to cross the line, so stay close to me. Got it?

-Yes, well…

Before getting out of the van, Kwon Seonghyun had told her that. However, after getting out of the van, Kwon Seonghyun experienced a miracle of Moses [a biblical reference to parting the Red Sea].

“Speaking of which, Yeonwoo, how did you do it? The reporters couldn’t even approach you.”

“Well… I just looked at them.”

It’s not entirely a lie. It was true that she looked at them.

‘I put a little bit of spiritual power into it.’

Of course, ordinary people can’t handle that level of energy. Someone like Kwon Seonghyun seemed to brush it off without a problem, but the reporters couldn’t.

“Anyway, you came just in time. We’re just waiting for Min Yerin to arrive!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Min Yerin opened the door with a tired face.

“I’m sorry I’m late. There were too many people outside…”

“Huh? Yerin, were you caught by the reporters?”

“Yes. There were too many.”

“Huh? Yeonwoo and Seonghyun said they came in comfortably… What’s going on?”

“……?”

No one knew the reason.

[You’re the only one who would use spiritual power in a place like this…]

Except for the child spirit wasting spiritual power to transform into animals.

The Korean BBQ restaurant was noisy. The filming was all finished, and the viewership ratings were being updated smoothly. They were excitedly debating whether the final episode would hit the highest peak.

“I think it’s going to fail…”

Among them, there was one person digging a hole in the ground. It was Writer Min.

“Writer, why are you like that? It’s fun! You didn’t completely kill him off, so it’ll be fine!”

“That’s right, Writer Min, don’t worry about that? I think this drama will definitely be Writer Min’s masterpiece.”

The director, who was comforting Writer Min, discovered Yeonwoo and two others.

“Oh! The main characters of the drama have appeared! You’ve come just in time! Come and sit here!”

The staff jumped up and guided Yeonwoo and the two to their seats. As they were about to sit down,

“Sit next to me.”

Two people said at the same time.

“……?”

Kwon Seonghyun and Min Yerin had smiling faces. But strangely, for some reason, it felt chilly.

‘There was a minor ghost attached to the corner when I came in, could it be because of that?’

But it was too far away to see, and it was just a minor ghost with almost no spiritual power?

“Oh. The three of you are sitting side by side so nicely! The main characters look great!”

Before she knew it, Yeonwoo had achieved Kwon Seonghyun on her right and Min Yerin on her left. As the last three took their seats, Director Heo laughed heartily and jumped up from his seat.

“Okay, everyone has worked hard filming and acting! Forget all your worries and let’s just eat deliciously and drink happily today!”

“For the success of our drama!”

“Cheers!”

It was the beginning of a boisterous wrap-up party.

***

The news of the drama team’s wrap-up party spread quickly. Since it was already being called a ‘syndrome’ [a widespread cultural phenomenon], it was bound to attract a lot of attention. In particular, the photos of Yeonwoo and Kwon Seonghyun together attracted a tremendous amount of attention and heated up various entertainment programs as well as the internet.

-Did you see the picture? It’s the first time I’ve seen wrap-up party photos trending on the real-time search rankings on Naver [a popular Korean search engine]!

This is Seonghyun’s class!

-Oh my gosh. Is this a press photo or a pictorial?

ㄴReporters are famous for taking candid photos, but Seonghyun doesn’t have any of thatㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴIf you just put it in a fashion magazine as it is, it would be the completion of a pictorial

-Seonghyun came with our Yeonwoo? Come to think of it, Seonghyun takes good care of our Yeonwoo

ㄴSubtly?

ㄴㄴ Openly ㅇㅇ

ㄴDidn’t you know that Yeonwoo’s number one fan is Seonghyun…? Seonghyun is a successful fan, he’s fangirling right next to her

ㄴI’m going crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Kwon Seonghyun is fangirlingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴCan’t you see that proud expression? My guess is that Seonghyun even coordinated Yeonwoo’s outfit at that time?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I remember that outfit, Seonghyun said it was one of his favorite outfits. He boasted that it was a designer-made outfit with a beautiful touch and color

ㄴBut Yeonwoo is wearing it…? Seonghyun……. I think we should acknowledge it at this point. He’s really a successful fan who’s fangirling over Yeonwooㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴI became a fan of Yeonwoo, but Seonghyun is in the fandom, is this real?

ㄴYou guys should take out the word ‘our’;;; Seonghyun will be in big trouble if he sees it;

A photo without any humiliation even though it’s not a photo shoot. A photo that purifies your eyes just by looking at it. It was even said that this is a photo for mental healing. All sorts of colorful modifiers were attached.

-Did you guys see this? Someone brought an article in the meantime.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋWhy is the surroundings so desolate?

ㄴAccording to the article, the reporters couldn’t approach them…….

ㄴCan you see Yeonwoo’s eyes? It just looks chic in the photo, but if you read the article…… I can’t say anything (article link)

-Oh my godㅋㅋㅋ Are the reporters writing an article saying they were scared?

ㄴㅇㅇ They said it was like the Grim Reaper had descended on the spot

ㄴIf the reporters, who have seen all sorts of things, are scared, how much was it?

ㄴIt’s a relief that our Yeonwoo didn’t wear black clothes. Otherwise, they would have collectively prepared coffins

ㄴHey, you guys have to take out ‘our’ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[[Photo] ‘Grim Reaper Descends!’ DIMA: Dear My Ghost Wrap-Up Party]

-Actors Kwon Seonghyun and Kang Yeonwoo are attending the MBS drama ‘Dear My Ghost’ wrap-up party held at a restaurant in Yeouido on X.

(Photo) (Photo) (Photo)

Actors Kwon Seonghyun and Kang Yeonwoo are known to be very close, and they appeared together at the wrap-up party. Actor Kang Yeonwoo, who played the role of the Grim Reaper in the drama, caused a stir among reporters by showing off her unique and intense charisma even when attending the wrap-up party.

-As a level 1 reporter interpretation expert, I would say that ’caused a stir among reporters’ = ‘was very scared’ 정도 되겠습니다 [approximately translates to: ‘is equivalent to’]

ㄴIf you look at the photos taken that day, the reporters’ bodies were very shrunken. I feel sorry for them…….

ㄴIt’s not easy to make a living off of other people’s moneyㅋㅋ

-But if something like this happens, they might write retaliatory articles, but there’s none of that, so it seems like our Yeonwoo didn’t do anything and the reporters were just scared on their own

ㄴThat’s right. Usually, they would say something like arrogant, conceited, or pretentious, but it’s really clean.

ㄴI saw it. The reporters were really scaredㅋㅋㅋ

-But seeing articles like this, I guess the drama is really going to end. I was honestly hoping for an extension…….

ㄴI was also hoping for an extension, but they’re cutting it off at 20 episodesㅠㅠ

After the drama’s wrap-up party, which made all the media buzz. Finally, the day the drama’s final episode airs has arrived.
