Min Jung had spent several sleepless nights after her critique, which she had stayed up many nights writing, received a B. She had thought she wrote it according to the criteria, but she could not understand where she lost points.
“The structure of the essay did not meet the scoring criteria…”
“I think I complied with all the criteria.”
Min Jung cut off Seo Yoon’s words.
“There was no proper answer to the problem raised in the introduction in the conclusion. And….”
“Isn’t the idea of a ‘proper answer’ too subjective?”
As Min Jung continued to rudely interrupt her, Seo Yoon started to become gradually irritated.
“That’s why you have to comply with the objectified criteria.”
“Isn’t that just word play? I can’t accept it. I couldn’t even properly study for the subject because I was writing that.”
“Min Jung, the thing about critical essays is…”
“Fine, I got it.”
Suddenly, Min Jung cut off Seo Yoon’s words, turned on her heel, and left.
“Lee Min Jung!”
As Seo Yoon called after Min Jung, Min Jung practically ran out of the staff room.
Seo Yoon, a newly appointed teacher who had just started teaching, had been facing a backlash ever since she graded the performance evaluations.
While Seo Yoon was aware that high school students would naturally be sensitive to performance evaluations, it was difficult when the students questioned her like this.
“It’s tough.”
Seo Yoon rested her forehead on the desk again and closed her eyes. The cool touch seemed to soothe her headache a bit. Suddenly, she wondered if her choice to become a teacher had been the right one.
It had been her grandmother’s wish for her to become a teacher, and she herself wanted a stable job.
This was because soon, her grandfather, who was about to retire from his job as an apartment security guard, and her grandmother, who was doing building cleaning work despite her ailing body, would become her responsibility.
However, the job of a teacher was by no means easy. It required a sense of mission beyond the profession.
It was not just about teaching her subject, but also helping her students find the right path.
But she wondered if she could really play such a role. She herself didn’t know which way to go, so who was she to guide others?
Furthermore, she was a temporary teacher who still had not received proper recognition from her students.
Suddenly, she remembered signing a contract with Kang Hyun not long ago.
“I’m someone whose job and marriage both have an expiration date.”
Seo Yoon’s mind was filled with these thoughts.
“It’s okay. It will be okay.”
But as always, Seo Yoon comforted herself.
Kang Hyun was looking at the production budget documents when he suddenly thought of Seo Yoon, who had been smelling the scent of his arm.
He was so bewildered at the time that he simply stared. It seemed like she had some sentimental memories with that perfume.
“Seo Yoon.”
Although she had the audacity to demand a building, he couldn’t imagine it just by looking at her face. He remembered how she was walking down the street all by herself.
“She looks pitiful.”
She was a woman who somehow made his heart ache.
“Pitiful, my foot.”
It seemed like he was still being fooled despite experiencing time and again that one should not judge people by their appearance.
“Get a hold of yourself.”
Kang Hyun steadied his heart. If he gave her any sort of foothold, she would be the type to eagerly hope for an opportunity. He would only be filling her with false hope.
“Huh, I’m getting married.”
He had never seriously thought about marriage. Especially when he thought of his own parents.
Eventually, he felt that he would end up walking a similar path to his parents. If that happened, his own children would also end up with a terrible family.
“After all, we’ll divorce in three years. I just need to give her some alimony then.”
Kang Hyun looked back at the documents he had been reviewing. With his participation in the drama, sponsors and endorsements were lined up, and the platform had been decided.
If this drama also turned out to be a success, JM Production would officially become the top production company in the country.
Dingdong!
It was Moo Jin and Chul Young.
“I will leave my luggage in the room.”
Chul Young went into the room next to the entrance, dragging his suitcase. It was because whenever Kang Hyun was working on a project, Chul Young would stay at Kang Hyun’s house.
“The casting is delayed, so the schedule is quite tight. I am worried that if we don’t progress according to the planned schedule, other schedules might get messed up.”
While examining the filming schedule, Kang Hyun pointed out the dates for the overseas shoot.
“We should bring forward the Bali shoot.”
“Since the scenes shot in Bali are for the latter part of the drama, couldn’t we shoot up to the midlate part and then go?”
“Since my wedding is in a month, I’ll have to go on a honeymoon or something. If we make Bali the honeymoon destination, then we can shoot and come back, killing two birds with one stone.”
“What? Are you planning to shoot while on your honeymoon?”
Chul Young, who had come out after leaving his luggage, asked in surprise.
“No matter what, that is a bit……”
Moo Jin even waved his hands in protest.
“Try adjusting the schedule.”
In response to Kang Hyun’s firm words, Moo Jin and Chul Young shook their heads while looking at each other. They had a hunch that it was a strategic marriage, but regardless, it was something that could deeply hurt the other party.
Moo Jin and Chul Young felt genuinely sorry for Kang Hyun’s bride, whom they didn’t even know.
“But the director thinks that there isn’t enough romance and wants to add more. What do you think, boss?”
Moo Jin carefully asked while observing Kang Hyun’s reaction.
“Isn’t that guy confused about the genre?”
As expected, Kang Hyun frowned and said.
“Maybe he suggests that because having such scenes at the beginning can attract viewers?”
Chul Young joined in agreement.
“Even if romance is included, the genre is strictly noir. If we go that way, it wouldn’t work out. The script is solid, so we don’t need to use such tactics. It will just blur the color of the work. I need to talk to the director directly.”
At Kang Hyun’s firm expression, Moo Jin and Chul Young closed their mouths.
“Filming starts from next week, so it’s really going to be crazy. I stopped by the Jin Sung set earlier, and it seemed almost finished. All casting is done, so we just have to film. And I got a call from Chae So Yi’s side; they said they have no complaints about the amount of the script.”
When Kang Hyun strongly suggested that he could exclude Chae So Yi, her agency quietly backed off.
No matter how well Chae So Yi was doing these days, if she was dropped from this drama, which was the most anticipated work of the second half of the year, they must have calculated that it would be a loss in one way or another.
Once Kang Hyun started to accommodate Chae So Yi’s demands, other actors could be swayed, so Kang Hyun drew a firmer line.
He was not only the lead actor in this drama but also the head of the production company. He was paying more attention than usual while he was participating directly.
“Why does the production cost keep going on like this? It would be the end if we fail.”
“We absolutely won’t fail. It’s going to be a successful work, and sponsors are lining up. They are all experts; they know which work will be a hit.”
Moo Jin said with a broad smile.
“We haven’t hit it big yet. We need to be careful about everything.”
“Yes. You should check the bridge before crossing. Anyway, the script is perfect, the cast is strong, and I can’t wait for the filming.”
At Moo Jin’s words, Kang Hyun didn’t give a particular response and just checked the schedule. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind and a smile spread across his face.
‘Seo Yoon, let’s finish this in one go.’
Kang Hyun, who managed to accomplish both the honeymoon and overseas shooting at once, smiled brightly, seemingly satisfied, for the first time in a while.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
