\"Dylan, I've got a few offers for your next role\" Yuri-noona says currently way too excited at the thought of my schedule being filled to the brim.
\"Noona, the drama has only been airing for two weeks, there's still 2 months left until it finishes airing. Can't we wait a bit and rest.\"
\"Dylan, have you not heard of the phrase 'strike while the iron is hot'?\" She says, \"You rested enough, its time for you to work yourself to the bone to feed your family\"
\"My family doesn't need to work, In case you forgot.\"
\"But I do... And I only get a bonus when you work... So as the head of talent at DPH entertainment, you need to listen\"
'But ..... I'm the CEO' I protest internally
\"So what offers have we gotten?\" I relent in the end and listen to her proposal
\"Well I have filtered it down to 3 offers which I think suit you best.
First, option we have kick through the roof. It's a sequel to Kick high that aired last year and was hugely popular.
You will be one of the main leads, so air time is guaranteed. The only problem though is that its a weekly drama so it will be six months long project.\"
\"Rule that one out then. I don't plan on spending such a long time on one project, this early in my career.\"
\"Okay, option two: A variety show. Its also a sequel too. Got Married season two.
They will pair you up with another celebrity. You will then have various semi scripted 'dates' and have a virtual marriage.
The pro's of this are that you get relative freedom and that filming is flexible.
It further adds to your boy next door/boyfriend persona.
The con's are you need a reliable partner. A single scandal on either side and it can end the shooting prematurely leaving you guys forgotten by the way side. In short this could sky rocket you and cement your place as the nations love or it could be a total waste of time\"
\"So it's heavily reliant on the partner, okay put that one in the maybe pile. I will need to meet with the planning staff and see who I would be partnered with\"
\"Now for option three: It's a Hollywood drama, which means the budget for this it is one of the highest in history about 40 billion won (34 million dollars).
Cast includes Lee Byung, Kim Tae, Jung Joon, and Kim Seung
Its a spy thriller. The plot revolves around two best friends from the 707th Special Mission Battalion recruited into a secret South Korean black ops agency known as the National Security Service.
Shooting will take place in Hungary, Japan, and China, you will also be required to undergo special training. This will form part of a documentary that will air with the drama
While your role won't be huge, you are one of the sub main leads, and this can increase your international exposure.
However, without confident acting skills you risk being overshadowed and being lost in their shadow\"
\"Sounds big. Even though its a bit daunting. I won't lie I want to join it\"
'Also I get to meet Tae noona, my inner fan girl is going crazy right now.
Just thinking about the goddess of goddesses.
That beauty and sun-kissed smile. The Icon of the natural beauty icons of Korea.
Makes me want to choose it immediately with no regard to the consequences.
Someone once said this about her, \"Whenever Kim Tae enters the classroom, it feels as though Jesus Christ has come. Everyone follows her into the classroom.\"
Someone also said this, \"She is also like Jesus Christ, in the sense that you know she exists but you will never meet her, so you don't know if she's real\"
On a serious note, all three are great options and can do many things for my career. \"Noona, whats your suggest?\"
Yuri-noona smiles, \"I see that I still have some worth to you.
Well, like you said Kick High will take too much time.
If it was before the Legacy Brilliant aired, I'd say go for it, as you will gain a small following but that's no longer what you are after.
In terms of the other two, WGM is very flexible, while the as yet untitled blockbuster drama is very intensive.
If it was me.... I'd choose both.
WGM can serve as a boost/hype for the drama therefore people will tune in specifically for you reducing the risk of you being a forgotten son.
You will have no free time to spend gallivanting with Choo-ssi in the interim but it's a once in a lifetime opportunity\"
\"Sounds like you gave this a lot of thought.\"
\"I take my job seriously\" Yuri answers puffing her chest out. I notice the dark circles under her eyes that serve as testament to the fact.
My hand instinctively reaches forward like I do when I see such an expression on Hora and I pat her head \"Well done\"
She blushes slightly at the sudden touch before throwing my hand away \"Hey don't mess with my hair, I just went to the salon this morning\"
\"Uh-huh, I'll take your suggestion to do both but on condition, I get to at least list a few candidates to the production staff of WGM. If none of them are chosen then I don't want to do it\"
\"Okay\" she says as she rushes off to make the needed phone calls.
Seeing her excited expression and those dollar signs in her eyes, I can't help but wonder ...
'Did I make the right decision?'
