Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 626 Shh, keep your voice down.

"Noona, it seems... you don't only cry because you're sad."

He said it in a joking tone.

When he first met this older woman, Kim Ji-won cried so hard that Ming-yeon almost thought he had made a terrible mistake.

The man later discovered that Kim Ji-won could cry when she was shy in bed, cry when she felt too good, and even shed a few tears when she was exhausted, so calling her the Queen of Tears was really not wrong.

It's made entirely of water.

"Hey, don't tell!" Kim Ji-won saw the mischievous smile on Myung-yeon's face and knew what he was thinking.

Mingyan laughed and said, "Then does that mean these tears can't be considered a debt?"

Injustice has its head, and debt has its owner.

Tears of sadness and tears of comfort are definitely not the same thing.

"It doesn't count!"

Kim Ji-won is still too thin-skinned.

If it were Lim Nayeon, who cares about this or that, it's all because of you that I cried, so I definitely can't escape this debt.

"That's good, otherwise I won't dare to use my strength in the future." Mingyan patted his chest in a pretentious manner: "Noona, in the end, you'll be the one who suffers the most."

Kim Ji-won's face was full of threat: "Say it again~"

"I'll stop talking now and prove it with my actions."

"Anyway... you're not allowed to say 'break up' again, or I'll cry in front of you."

Kim Ji-won only realized now that she could manipulate the man in front of her with her tears.

A man who likes to see himself cry, yet can't bear to see himself cry.

"I'll try my best." Mingyan really couldn't guarantee anything, after all, he still had Lin Nayeon, and there might be other variables in the future, who could say for sure.

He felt that he probably couldn't get rid of his philandering habit.

Or to put it more nicely, being able to love many people at the same time is a kind of talent.

To put it another way, it's utterly terrible.

“Not just try, definitely.” Kim Ji-won could roughly guess what he was struggling with: “As for Nayeon or any other woman, I’ll handle it myself.”

Hmph, it's just stealing a man, who's afraid of who?

"There are no other women, haha."

Mingyan gave an awkward smile.

Kim Ji-won rolled her eyes beautifully: "Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart."

Putting everything else aside, just take Kim Jisoo as an example, how could he possibly bear to part with her?
In this family, it seems that Kim Minjung is the most important person to Mingyan, but in reality, Kim Jisoo's presence is the strongest.

She was deeply shocked after hearing what the younger sister said about someone's personality last night.

Kim Ji-won couldn't even feel a trace of jealousy, because Kim Ji-soo truly understood Ming-yeon and genuinely hoped that Ming-yeon could find happiness.

As women, Kim Ji-won could understand what was in Kim Ji-soo's eyes.

She asked herself how much she had sacrificed for Mingyan, not even asking for a title, but she still felt pale in comparison to Kim Jisoo.

Do I really know the person I like?
"To be honest, I can't remember clearly. There are too many messy accounts from the past." Mingyan spread his hands, but he had basically cleaned up all the mess.

“I couldn’t control what happened in the past, but…” Kim Ji-won gently pressed against the man, “You must remember that I’ll be here for you in the future.”

Besides Jisoo and Nayeon, there's me too.

"Noona, thank you."

Mingyan was suddenly at a loss.

What did they talk about last night? Why are they getting all sentimental this morning?

"How's your new drama going?" Kim Ji-won composed herself, lest Kim Ji-soo and Kim Min-jung wake up in the bedroom and notice something was wrong.

"Shang Chunnu's script is fine, now we're figuring out who the female lead will be."

Lin Shangchun and the other two were not outsiders, so Mingyan was quite casual in addressing them.

Kim Ji-won laughed and said, "It must be hard to find a leading lady as outstanding as me."

"Yes, but this role isn't really suitable for you." "What kind of role?"

"Single mother".

"Wow, this is quite challenging."

Kim Ji-won was born in 1992 and is 27 years old this year.

Although she has only dated Mingyan, it's perfectly normal for her to become a mother at this age if she puts in the effort.

"I'd like to contact Gong Hyo-jin; it would be best if she could act in it," the man said directly, revealing his thoughts.

"Senior Kong Hyo-jin?"

"Yes, we've worked together before, and we have a pretty good relationship."

Kim Ji-won nodded. He was indeed a very outstanding senior, and she wished she could reach that level someday.

Let's set a small goal: first, win the Best Actress award from one of the three major television networks.

She was also relieved. At least this guy's collaboration with Gong Hyo-jin wouldn't create any romantic pairings or anything like that, just like with Park Shin-hye last time. The public's discussion was more focused on the plot and acting.

His position remains unique.

"Sang-chun unnie even said she'd write a script for the two of us someday," Kim Ji-won said, referring to a joke she'd made before.

Lin Shangchun truly likes Mingyan and Kim Ji-won.

Even if "When the Camellia Blooms" isn't suitable, I must write a script and have these two collaborate again in the future.

Mingyan laughed and said, "Then let's wait and see, we'll talk about it in a few years."

Writing a screenplay is a long-term project, and it's normal for the creative cycle to take several years.

It's remarkable that Lin Shangchun was able to produce such an excellent script as "When the Camellia Blooms" just one year after writing "Fight for My Way".

"In the future... Netflix might dominate the market."

Kim Ji-won is actually not very sensitive to these changes.

However, she witnessed Netflix's massive budget while filming "Arthdal ​​Chronicles," something that South Korean domestic capital couldn't afford.

Foreign companies have global streaming platforms, while local dramas that invest heavily are primarily concerned with whether they can recoup their costs.

"Noona, did your salary increase this time?"

"Yeah, it's gone up quite a bit."

After filming her first leading role in a drama and achieving considerable success, Kim Ji-won experienced a slight rise in her status.

However, this is not the main factor in the increase in salaries; Netflix is ​​simply more willing to spend money.

“It’s a good thing that the pay has gone up.” Mingyan made two cups of coffee, handing one to the girl next to him: “I’m just worried that Netflix will drive up the prices, and then we’ll only be able to work there in the future.”

As the saying goes, people strive for higher positions, while water flows downhill.

With rising actor salaries and production costs, South Korean industry professionals, driven by profit, know where to expand. If South Korean domestic capital can't keep up, it will be swallowed up, ultimately leading to Netflix's monopoly.

Kim Ji-won didn't think much of it: "That has nothing to do with us."

She's an actress; all she needs to do is act well.

"Yes, the pay has really gone up. I'm practically broke."

"Do you want me to lend you some?"

"No need, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back."

"Nine times he went out and thirteen times he returned. It doesn't matter if he can't repay the debt. He can repay the debt with his body."

Kim Ji-won lifted Myung-gon's chin and examined him for a while, seemingly trying to determine how much the man in front of her was worth.

"Then I'll pay back part of it now." As soon as Mingyan saw the river view outside the window, he thought of what he had done with Lin Nayeon that day, and a burning flame suddenly rose in his lower abdomen.

Such beautiful scenery should be reused.

Kim Ji-won was startled: "Stop fooling around, Ji-soo and Min-jung will be getting up soon."

If they were caught being intimate in the living room, they'd be utterly humiliated.

"Shh, keep your voice down."
