“So it’s really not going to happen.”
Looking at the message he just received, The Swordsman Baek Dong-su producer, Ju Yeong-man, tapped his fingers on the table.
Despite having plenty of opportunities to find a replacement, the reason they delayed to the very end was that the agency for the actor playing young
Ja-un had insisted he could do it until the last moment. Treating the actor like a machine that existed solely to earn money through their activities
rather than as a human being.
“And yet they’ll probably end up blaming the actor in the press.’
Though it left a bad taste in his mouth, it didn’t matter anymore. He’d already found a replacement.
“Are you sure Kim Dong-hoo agreed to do it?”
“Yes, Writer Kwon Jae-ho reached out, and he confirmed it.”
“Alright... Kim Dong-hoo is definitely someone we can count on.”
His acting ability was already proven.
As he spoke, Ju Yeong-man thought of High Dream.
That performance was almost beyond words. Not only was he absurdly handsome, but his acting felt like he had ripped the character straight from
the script. It had even crossed his mind that he’d like to work with him someday.
“But to think it would happen this quickly.’
Striking while the iron was hot, Yeong-man quickly devised a plan.
“Then negotiate his fee with his side, and make sure Kim Dong-hoo can start martial arts training immediately.”
Child actors typically lack experience in such things, so even with focused training, it would take at least a month.
“To be honest, a month is a very short amount of time.’
For those lacking natural athleticism, it could take up to three months.
With the schedule so tight, they would have to teach him quickly, shoot, and adjust in real time.

“Oh, right. The Veritas side said something unusual.”
“Unusual?”
“Yes, they said he could go straight to set without martial arts training...”
“What?”
At Director Oh Jae-deok’s words, Yeong-man frowned.
“Is it youthful overconfidence, or are they really saying it’s possible?’
From a novice who had never shot a historical drama, this would normally sound absurd.
But,
“I heard he said he could just play the piano in High Dream, and he did.’
Rumors tickled at Yeong-man’s ears.
If it was true, it’d be a jackpot.
It would save time many times over and immediately compensate for the lost time as well.
“You sent the first script with his initial scene, right?”
Director Oh Jae-deok immediately understood what Yeong-man intended.
“Shall we prepare right away?”
“Yes, a practice shoot to gauge his ability wouldn’t be a bad idea.”
If it worked, it would only be a win for everyone involved.

“CybersQA: “We wish we could honor the actor’s commitment to the role, but it’s really unfortunate.’”
“Who will replace young Ja-un? Let’s cast the next actor with the audience!”
Among these was the hot topic of the child actor’s recent injury.
Filming was disrupted due to an injury,
but people quickly moved past disappointment and began speculating about the replacement.
“Who’s going to take over?”
“Isn’t it too late to find someone now? I was really looking forward to The Swordsman Baek Dong-su.”
“There’s only one kid actor that comes to mind recently, lol.”
“You mean?”
“Kim Dong-hoo.”
“Wow, if it really happens, that’d be great.”
“Yeah, he’s absurdly good-looking; I just want to keep watching him.”
The most immediate name that surfaced was Kim Dong-hoo. His explosive debut in High Dream and that impossible piano performance, along with
his stint as a model for Brilliant school uniforms, surely didn’t hurt.
“But there’s no way Kim Dong-hoo can do it; he’s too busy.”
“Rumor has it he’s shooting an indie film?”
“Huh? I heard he’s filming a movie.”
“What are you talking about? How could he do another project back-to-back? It’d be impossible.”
