Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 391 Clumsy

The next step is to process the ingredients.

The main force is Li Lianfu, but in variety shows, clumsy students often attract more attention than skilled teachers.

The first challenge they encountered was cutting onions.

Li Lianfu gave everyone an impromptu demonstration of his knife skills, and the three of them exclaimed in admiration. Mingyan, in particular, said that he had cooked before, but his speed and strength in chopping vegetables were just average.

Either the slices are too thick, or they're too big; in short, there are quite a few problems.

"Jisoo, come on, give it a try."

After Lee Yeon-bok's demonstration, it was Lee Kwang-soo, Myung-eon, and Kim Ji-soo's turn to take action.

The two grown men prioritized the lady's needs, with Lee Kwang-soo even handing over his glasses to prevent tears, clearly intending to watch the spectacle.

Of course, the essence of making variety shows is to have this "better to die than lose" spirit. If everyone is just mild-mannered and modest, it's impossible to film. You have to come up with something different.

"Kwangsoo oppa, I think it's more appropriate for you to go first." Kim Jisoo naturally couldn't obediently comply, otherwise she wouldn't get any screen time.

Lee Kwang-soo said with a serious expression, "Alright, then you write a three-line poem... Lee."

"Wait, why are you suddenly writing three-line poems?"

Mingyan stretched out his hand and made a pause gesture, looking at Lee Kwang-soo with an absurd expression.

No wonder Yoo Jae-suk made this guy pay membership fees; he really knows how to make variety shows.

“Jisoo and I are arguing about who should cut the onions first.” Lee Kwang-soo said with a serious face, “If Jisoo’s three-line poem can move me, then she can rest, and I will cut all these onions.”

"all?"

"all!"

Mingyan immediately turned his gaze to Kim Jisoo: "Play with him!"

Of all the ingredients they bought to make jajangmyeon (black bean sauce), onions were probably the most difficult to handle. Since Lee Kwang-soo was going all out, there was no reason for them to refuse.

Kim Jisoo took two steps forward with a smile, and the production crew's cameras followed.

It's great to have a veteran of variety shows around; they can make even simple tasks like preparing ingredients come in all sorts of creative ways.

"Lee." Lee Kwang-soo looked shy, seemingly very much looking forward to seeing what kind of three-line poem Kim Ji-soo would compose. Anyone who didn't know the situation would never guess that he already had a girlfriend.

"Start now."

"Light."

“Kwangsoo oppa and me…”

Lee Kwang-soo's expression was one of pure bliss, as if he were about to faint at any moment.

"Soo!"

"How about a drink?" Kim Jisoo nudged Lee Kwang-soo's arm as she finished speaking.

This girl is just not good at promoting herself, but when it's her turn to appear, she will never let you down. Isn't the point of filming a variety show to create a good show?

"Woohoo~"

Mingyan let out a scream in response, highlighting the crucial role of the straight man.

Lee Kwang-soo was even more exaggerated, clutching his heart as if he was about to faint at any moment, almost sliding to his knees on the ground.

Jisoo smiled broadly: "Kwangsoo oppa, then cut some onions..."

"Leave it to me!" Lee Kwang-soo thumped his chest loudly.

"Kwang-soo is so generous."

"Thank you, Kwangsoo oppa."

Mingyan and Kim Jisoo teamed up, chatting and coaxing Lee Kwang-soo until he realized what was happening. All that was left in front of him was a kitchen knife and a bowl of onions.

The production team was amused by the three people's impromptu performance, which means the main content of the first episode has already been revealed.

Lee Kwang-soo chopped onions, while Lee Yeon-bok was responsible for more technically demanding tasks such as making soybean paste. Myung-eon and Kim Ji-soo were left with nothing more than washing vegetables.

There are quite a few side dishes, such as cucumber and zucchini.

"Hey, when did you learn to write three-line poems?" While washing vegetables, Mingyan quietly nudged Kim Jisoo's arm.

The camera was definitely focused on Li Lianfu's teaching, leaving no time to pay attention to them, making it a perfect opportunity for them to whisper to each other.

Jisoo said with a hint of pride, "I'm BLACKPINK." Developing an idol's sense of humor is also part of the company's training. They teach everyone how to strike the right balance when it comes to being funny. When on a show, you can't stay silent, but you also can't go all out without knowing how to choose what to say.

This is all a very complex subject.

Like Lim Nayeon, whose buck teeth allow her to write those cheesy three-line poems in a coquettish tone, while Kim Jisoo is still far from that level.

"Then make one for me too."

"Your name only has two characters, how can you write a three-line poem?"

"Forehead……"

Kim Jisoo discovered the blind spot.

"Those two lines of poetry." To put it simply, this is just a series of sentences with initials. There are ways to play with three-word phrases and two-word phrases.

Kim Jisoo glanced to the side twice: "Are you crazy?"

They're filming a variety show.

"Hey, this sentence is quite fitting." The initial M of Mingyan's name matches perfectly with "Crazy": "And Yan too."

"I... Ouch." Kim Jisoo was about to say something when she got distracted and accidentally cut her finger.

"Let me see."

Mingyan immediately picked up the girl's hand and examined the wound carefully in front of his eyes.

Jisoo's delicate face scrunched up: "It hurts a little."

Small wounds like these aren't that serious. They're similar to mouth ulcers—they don't bite, but they're annoying.

Kim Ji-soo's manager immediately came over with a band-aid; it's her responsibility to keep track of her artist's condition at all times.

"Unnie, I'm fine." Kim Jisoo put her finger in her mouth and sucked on it for a moment, then smiled and shook it. It didn't hurt much as long as she didn't touch it.

"You really are..."

Mingyan really didn't know what to say. She even managed to cut her hand while chopping vegetables. It seems she's really not cut out for cooking.

"You have the nerve to say that." Kim Jisoo rolled her eyes. "If you hadn't been talking about three-line poems and two-line poems just now, would I have been distracted and cut off my hand?"

"I'm sorry then." To be honest, the man was actually in the wrong.

"Talking about it is definitely not enough."

What do you want?

"Pay attention to your attitude."

Because they were filming a show, the two of them couldn't take it too seriously, but this matter is definitely not over yet.

It took them half a day to prepare the ingredients. Once everything was ready, they went to a small square in a park that the production team had scouted out in advance.

There are quite a few people here, and the scenery is nice; it's definitely a good place to set up a stall.

The stalls attracted the attention of passersby as soon as they were set up. Lee Kwang-soo was tall and handsome, and Kim Ji-soo was a great beauty. They were like living advertisements just by standing there.

What's more, there were cameras nearby.

Chef Li Lianfu and the other three quickly got into the swing of things. The focus of the show at this point was no longer on them, but on the interesting Chinese customers coming and going.

"Just stay here and watch. I'll handle anything that comes up," Mingyan whispered to Kim Jisoo.

This guy is honest and straightforward. Although a small cut on his hand isn't a big deal, it can be quite troublesome if it gets infected, so it's better to be careful.

"It's okay, I'm not that dramatic."

"obedient!"

"Oh."

There are many Chinese people, and therefore many customers who need work.

Their stall had only been set up for a short time when one of the boys contributed what is expected to be a classic scene for this season.

The boy ordered a bowl of jajangmyeon (black bean noodles), and after finishing it, he actually asked a child in the park to deliver a bouquet of flowers to Kim Ji-soo.

Lee Kwang-soo's perfect comeback was spot on: "Wow, Jisoo is really popular."

Kim Jisoo, holding the flowers, subconsciously glanced at someone beside her.
