Chapter 726 Should We Have a Baby? (It's the end of the month, please vote!)
"What are you looking at?"

Kim Ji-won moved her little feet that were nestled in Myung-yeon's arms.

Even though it's hot, it's still nice to have someone willing to warm your feet.

Ever since the last time the two of them spent the weekend together, Ming said he would automatically come over every Friday, just to make it a regular time to spend with this older sister.

"The press releases for the new drama have all been sent out, and I'm currently scrolling through netizens' comments." Mingyan's attention was focused on her phone, occasionally raising her hand to swipe the screen.

Kim Ji-won stopped watching the show after hearing this, sat up and rested her head on the man's shoulder, and the two of them looked at the comments together.

The girl glanced at it for a while, then suddenly laughed and stopped Mingyan from scrolling down: "Hey, look at this one, the netizens are so toxic."

"Which one?"

"this."

"Myung-yeon's last drama was with Park Shin-hye, and this one is with Gong Hyo-jin. Does he have a thing for older women?"

Mingyan read this comment aloud.

Wow, this generation of netizens is really good at making connections! The partners don't prove anything at all.

When he accepts roles, he looks at the script, the director, the character, and the qualifications of the other actors; he doesn't pay attention to anything else.

Filming a movie isn't like going on a blind date.

While the chemistry between the male and female leads is important, it's something that can't be controlled. The chemistry between people is a mysterious thing, and whether they get along or not can only be determined by filming.

Mingyan is a pretty versatile type, after all, he's handsome and has a lot of potential.

"Our Ji-won is also an older sister, Ming-yan, have you forgotten?" Kim Ji-won read another comment with a smile.

It's been over a year since she and Mingyan last worked together, it's rare that anyone still remembers.

Mingyan squeezed the older sister's small hand: "Noona, do you think I've forgotten?"

"Oh, stop it, these comments are so funny." Kim Ji-won continued reading with great interest: "And this, without Ji-won unnie, Myung-yeon oppa will never film sweet romance dramas again."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that's really the case.

Myung Yeon's collaborations with Kim Ji-won in "Descendants of the Sun" and "Fight for My Way" are both primarily romance dramas.

Although their films after their separation, "Memories of the Alhambra" and the upcoming "When the Camellia Blooms," also feature a romantic storyline, the scripts contain many other elements they wish to express.

In fact, this also shows that Mingyan's works are improving little by little.

Melo dramas easily gain viewership, but ambitious actors won't stay in their comfort zones.

Starting with filming "The King", the man gradually embarked on a transformation path, focusing on subtle and gradual changes.

"This shows that we are the most suitable on-screen couple, and no one else can replace us."

Mingyan admitted that he was most invested in the romantic scenes with this woman, since they are real lovers.

Actors need to invest their emotions when filming, which is why so many on-screen couples become real-life couples.

When Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo fell in love while filming, Jo In-sung tried to advise them as a friend, but they didn't listen. Instead, the relationship became awkward, and even making their relationship public felt uncomfortable.

Kim Ji-won pouted: "Tch, then you still want to untie me."

"Noona, have you noticed anything strange while filming with Song Joong-ki lately?"

"Something's not right... I don't think so."

Kim Ji-won frowned and thought for a moment.

She's obsessed with theater and rarely pays attention to other things, so she doesn't know many things.

"I heard that he and Hye-kyo have separated." Mingyan shook her head helplessly. This silly older sister doesn't even know the situation of her co-star. She's so naive.

"Separated?" Kim Ji-won's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. "They've only been married for two years, haven't they?"

The wedding of Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo in 2017 was a huge sensation, and both she and Ming-yan attended.

Mingyan pursed his lips: "Yeah, so what's so great about marriage?" Two people who love each other, why be so particular about formalities? Is getting married and then divorced a joke?

Why did they divorce?

Kim Ji-won sat up, clearly interested in the topic.

She actually wanted to refute Mingyan's views on marriage, but thinking of someone's situation, she swallowed her words.

"It seems that Song Joong-ki wants a child, but Hye-kyo doesn't want one and wants to wait until their relationship is more stable before considering it," Ming-yan said, revealing the information she had heard.

Men have their own sources of information, and our group of brothers has discussed this a lot.

Jo In-sung is probably secretly pleased right now; when those two got married, things didn't go very well.

Kim Ji-won thought for a moment and said, "Song-ki oppa is about thirty-four years old this year, so his age should be fine."

In the general public, getting married at thirty-four is considered a bit late, but in the entertainment industry, it's still quite young. There are plenty of celebrities in their thirties and forties who are unmarried and childless.

Especially in this era, with both marriage and birth rates declining, thirty-four years old is really nothing special.

"Just think about how old Hye-kyo is."

“Hye-kyo unnie…” Kim Ji-won opened her phone and searched. She couldn’t quite remember the older sister’s birthday: “1981, so she’s thirty-eight this year.”

He is thirty-nine years old in the traditional Chinese age reckoning, which rounds up to forty.

This age is not young for a woman.

"Women who are 35 years old are considered advanced maternal age, and it is very dangerous to give birth at an older age." Mingyan has a deep memory of this age.

When he grew up, he specifically researched this topic, after all...

Kim Ji-won grasped Myung-yeon's hand and tentatively asked, "Have you ever thought about us having a child in the future?"

Both of them are still young, one is twenty-five years old and the other is twenty-seven years old. They are still several years away from turning thirty and are in the best years of their lives.

"Do you want kids?"

Mingyan looked at Kim Ji-won with surprise.

Having a baby is no small matter for female celebrities. Preparing for pregnancy, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can take up two or three years.

It's very difficult for an actress to make a comeback after disappearing for so long.

"I... I just suddenly thought of it." Kim Ji-won's face flushed red instantly.

This was the first time she had discussed this topic with Mingyan.

When the two first started dating, they were basically like all young people, rarely thinking about the future and marriage.

Mingyan hesitated for a moment: "Nuna, I don't have much confidence in being a good father."

Men often have a lot to say, but they can't express it clearly in just a few words.

Even though he has changed a lot, marriage and children are still frightening things for Mingyan, because they mean he needs to be responsible for a family.

But what if something goes wrong?
"I was just asking casually." Kim Ji-won noticed that Ming-yeon's expression wasn't very good, and she knew a little about the reason: "We're both still young, we don't need to think about so much for now."

"Hmm." Mingyan forced a smile.

"Also, Nayeon might not agree, and I'm afraid she'll come knocking on our door."

To comfort Myung-yeon, Kim Ji-won even brought up her rabbit teeth.

The man pulled the woman into his arms: "Noona, thank you."

"I just wanted to say that we can discuss everything together, but you can't keep anything from me anymore," Kim Ji-won whispered, snuggling closer to Myung-yeon.

"I definitely won't hide the fact that I had a child from you."

"hope so."
