A brief moment before filming.
Park Do-hee willingly approached and started a conversation.
“Sua, it’s our turn now!”
“That’s right.”
Today’s scene was an entirely new one.
After prolonged deliberations, the production team decided to use the scene where Park Do-hee bites Sua’s arm and makes her pass out. Therefore, today they were set to film the scene that progressed further than that.
Kim Sun-il, Sua, and Park Do-hee.
This was a scene carried out by these three.
“Huff…”
Park Do-hee took a deep breath.
From Sua’s perspective, Do-hee looked as if she was very determined. She seemed like a soldier about to leap into battle.
She clenched her fists and said,
“I’ve practiced intensely for today’s filming. Most of all, I’m sorry for biting your arm back then.”
“That’s fine.”
She meant it.
Initially, that scene ended up being advantageous for Sua, and Park Do-hee had consistently apologized. It wasn’t just lip service; there were always various monetary compensations as well.
“Today, I won’t cause any trouble for Sua. I’ll rely solely on my own capabilities! Please, really count on me!”
“Alright.”
Sua nodded. Sua nodding.
Anyway, today, there would be no biting, right?
Sua understood it in this context. It was good news that Park Do-hee was going to do her best while working on the scene together.
But Park Do-hee’s words didn’t end there.
Looking at Sua with resolute eyes,
“Please give it your all today, Sua.”
“Hmm?”
“Acting alongside Sua is very helpful to me. It motivates me too. So, please don’t hold back.”
“Ah… understood.”
Sua nodded again. Sua nodding more.
On closer inspection, Sua was just a rookie, and Park Do-hee was an experienced senior. So, the current conversation felt somewhat strange. However, it seemed Sua was the only one who felt awkward at that moment.
Somewhere along the way, she realized she had genuinely earned Park Do-hee’s respect.
‘Well, if it’s giving my all, I was planning to anyway.’
Kim I-seo mentioned there was a big fish roaming the scene.
Even Sua understood that letting it slip would be regrettable. As much as she accomplished, good opportunities would arise. There was no reason to turn this down. She was determined to hang on tightly.
S#61:
Kim Yu-han engages in a fierce physical struggle with Lee Ga-ram.
After gaining the upper hand, he ties up Lee Ga-ram.
He holds a knife he wrested away to her neck.
Lee Kang-cheol arrives late at the scene.
He sincerely tries to stop Kim Yu-han, but
Kim Yu-han plans to kill Lee Ga-ram no matter what.
‘Aha, this scene.’
Sua closed her eyelids and concentrated.
Giving it her all, she dons the character Kim Yu-han.
Since Park Do-hee had asked her to, she was truly going to go all out.
.
.
.
.
.
The filming of S#61 begins.
Inside a dim warehouse.
The faint light that seeps in illuminates Kim Yu-han and Lee Ga-ram (Park Do-hee). However, it was clear that Ga-ram was in no good state. Her face, which had been beaten severely, especially stood out.
Kim Yu-han curved his lips.
“I told you to resist as much as you can, but running away… how adorable. Shall I pat your bottom a little?”
Though these two had just engaged in a fierce physical struggle, the outcome was now crystal clear. Park Do-hee’s arm was bent back and held, while Sua held a knife to Do-hee’s neck.
“But what to do with this? Got caught again.”
Kim Yu-han lightly bit Do-hee’s ear and whispered.
“You see, I have no intentions of letting you off from here on.”
At that moment, Park Do-hee suddenly lost consciousness.
While Park Do-hee was pleading, Kim Yu-han continued to move his eyes quickly as usual, assessing the surroundings.
He would have slowly tortured his opponent with this knife in normal circumstances…
“Hmm….”
But the current situation was slightly different.
Park Do-hee had escaped once before, so now it was “Kim Yu-han” capturing as a detective, not privately.
That meant private retribution couldn’t be carried out.
Because his partner, Lee Kang-cheol, was heading there.
“Save me… p-please save me… save me… please…”
“Shhh. Let me think a bit.”
Kim Yu-han muzzled Park Do-hee’s mouth with a rag. While doing so, the hand that held the knife kept twitching.
To Kim Yu-han, criminals were disgusting.
To kill or to spare? To torment or to dismember?
Intense emotions surged within Kim Yu-han. He wanted to sever all the joints of Lee Ga-ram’s fingers right now.
With a dry swallow,
Lee Ga-ram, the crime-commissioning criminal.
It was hard to suppress the impulse to see the look on his face when he met the same fate.
Just as his hand started to move slowly,
“Kim Yu-han!”
Lee Kang-cheol finally arrived inside the warehouse.
“Kim Yu-han…! You…!”
Lee Kang-cheol immediately sensed the ominous atmosphere and, upon reading Kim Yu-han’s expression, widened his eyes. He had somewhat understood the emotions conveyed through his partner’s expression.
Kim Yu-han smirked first as a greeting.
“You’re late, partner. Is it fine to kill him now?”
“…Drop the knife.”
A more decisive voice than ever before. However, sweat began to form on Lee Kang-cheol’s face. The tension on set thickened.
“Why? Are you worried I might kill him too easily?”
“He’s surrendered. Let it go at that.”
Lee Kang-cheol looked at Kim Yu-han with a face showing no compromise, and Park Do-hee, too, nodded vigorously while shedding tears profusely.
But Kim Yu-han, too, was equally unyielding.
Creeeak—
Kim Yu-han lightly pressed the trembling Park Do-hee’s neck with the tip of the knife.
Just enough pressure to form a tiny bead of blood, but everyone clearly understood what it implied.
“You must have confirmed by now, partner? Ga-ram here has done far too many things as an inspector not supposed to.”
Park Do-hee wasn’t an ordinary criminal; her crimes were particularly heinous. She had engaged in corruption using her special police identity.
“So, I’d like you to consider this an act of self-defense.”
“…No, it’s not self-defense. It doesn’t meet the criteria.”
“Criteria? Are you still worried about them?”
Kim Yu-han shrugged. He seemed genuinely confused by Lee Kang-cheol’s stance or perhaps thought it pitiful.
“This warehouse is dark, and there are no surveillance cameras anyway. The only witnesses are you, me, and the disgusting criminal.”
At that moment, Kim Yu-han removed the cloth that had been muffling Park Do-hee’s mouth, as if allowing for any final words she might have.
Hheeuuh! Heeuuh!
Park Do-hee’s voice was already badly cracked. She let out a sound while trembling violently.
“Please, save me! Please, please save me!”
Kim Yu-han shook his head.
“No. Your existence only causes the world to become miserable.”
Simultaneously, Kim Yu-han slowly embraced Park Do-hee from behind. Very slowly and sinuously, almost as if drenched in lust.
And right as he whispered into Park Do-hee’s ear:
“Farewell. It’ll hurt, but it’ll be over soon.”
“…!”
Park Do-hee’s eyes instantly widened.
In fact, Park Do-hee was confused around this time. Was this just acting, or was he really planning to kill her? But one thing was certain: the knife in Sua’s hand was a real one.
Yet she calmed herself down.
It must be acting. It felt quite similar even during the rehearsal.
But with Sua holding her tightly and feeling her up, Park Do-hee started to get confused again. Her senses seemed to whisper now — this couldn’t be acting.
Thinking back, there were many suspicious points. Why did Sua suddenly demand a real knife just before the scene?
Park Do-hee’s neck had a bead of blood at this moment.
Of course, it was previously agreed upon, but Park Do-hee began to feel uneasy. Knowing how to produce blood droplets implies the potential for deeper cuts.
Just then, Lee Kang-cheol shouted:
“Stop! Kim Yu-han! Stop right now!”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier during our rank consolidation? It’s better to act once than bark a hundred times, didn’t I? Have you forgotten?”
At the same time, Kim Yu-han moved his arm with all his strength.
“I said stop it!”
As Lee Kang-cheol shouted, he kicked off the ground—
Park Do-hee’s eyes bulged out.
It felt as if the seconds were stretched out into years.
“Ta-daaa.”
Out of the blue came a single line.
The voice originated from Kim Yu-han. Light and cheerful, a tone that didn’t fit the situation at all, filled the warehouse.
Hahaha!
Suddenly, Kim Yu-han was laughing heartily.
By the time Lee Kang-cheol noticed the knife’s movement, it had already been swung. But Park Do-hee’s neck wasn’t cut. Instead, the ropes that bound Park Do-hee were severed.
“….”
Lee Kang-cheol looked at Kim Yu-han as if asking what was going on.
Kim Yu-han gently patted Lee Ga-ram’s head.
“Why? Did you really think I would kill him?”
Kim Yu-han shook his head side to side.
“I’m done. I dislike troubling things. But if I kill this one, the detective over there, the one with the terrifying eyes, seems like he’ll bother me all day.”
At that moment,
Shiver—
Park Do-hee’s body shook vigorously once.
The issue was the vividness. To Sua, the vibration that had just occurred in Park Do-hee’s body was quite different from the past.
What happened now could be described as a convulsion, vibration, or an instinctive movement that couldn’t be achieved through acting. It was something like that.
‘…?’
Sua naturally examined Park Do-hee’s condition.
‘…’
She was impacted.
First, Park Do-hee’s face, which was drained of spirit.
Up to this point, it was fine. Capturing this vivid expression was excellent for the camera.
But the problem was what followed. Suddenly, a liquid was dripping at Sua’s feet. The color indicated urine, and slightly sour smell touched her nostrils.
Urine.
It was unmistakable. This was real urine.
“….”
By this point, Sua was quite flustered.
‘Is this a prop prepared ahead of time?’
But it was too vivid to be considered a prop.
Could this be Park Do-hee’s hidden trump card?
Sua waited a moment to see if an NG sign would show up, but there was no such indication after a long pause. It meant they had to continue.
So, she did. Swiftly resuming the character of Kim Yu-han,
Sua grinned as she continued to stroke Park Do-hee’s head.
“What will happen if you cannot control your bladder? We should probably train it, right?”
“….”
However, the bewilderment wasn’t limited to Kim Sun-il on the opposite side.
There was no scene of incontinence in the script, right?
“….”
But Kim Sun-il wasn’t a novice. He was experienced. Therefore, once the NG call didn’t occur, he quickly focused on his duties.
“…Move aside.”
Lee Kang-cheol swiftly confiscated Kim Yu-han’s knife and placed handcuffs on Park Do-hee’s arm, simultaneously performing his obligatory duties as a detective.
“Current time, 8 a.m. Obstruction of official business, assault, property damage—”
And after a short while.
The camera zoomed in on Park Do-hee’s face,
And,
Trickle.
A stream of tears flowed down Park Do-hee’s cheeks.
◈◈◈◈◈
“Okay! That’s good! Excellent work!”
The filming set erupted in chaos.
The term ‘variable’ is typically associated with negative implications.
Of course, this is natural. When an unexpected event occurs, you have to respond, and the cleanup process inevitably consumes time and resources.
But today, the variables on the set were different.
“Could I have accrued good karma in a past life? What kind of fortune is this?”
“Indeed. Absolutely incredible. Incredible.”
The reactions from writer Lee Geum-sook and director Choi Hee-won said it all.
Today’s filming set was filled with countless variables, but all of them had positive impacts on the production. There was no need to consider the countermeasures; all it took was to accept these variables.
So, naturally, the atmosphere was bound to be good.
And during the current break, there was a particularly hot topic.
Of course…
“Sun-il’s and Sua’s performances were outstanding, but Do-hee was amazing too. Performing such an ad-lib in that situation….”
“Isn’t it? They’ve been practicing hard recently.”
“Wow, controlling physiological reactions through acting is impressive.”
…It was Park Do-hee’s incontinence.
“….”
Park Do-hee found herself in a rather complicated mindset.
How could this be described? A feeling akin to wanting to jump off a tall building?
‘The fact that I didn’t faint is good. Not fainting is good….’
Yeah, that much was good. But at the end, due to the tension suddenly releasing, I accidentally wet myself.
“Incontinence made the portrayal of fear more effective.”
“That’s right. Incredible.”
“Through Sua’s psychopathic performance, Do-hee’s reaction amplified the character’s multi-dimensional response to fear, enhancing the viewers’ immersion.”
Park Do-hee quietly listened to these compliments (?).
“….”
What acting? I genuinely thought I was dying but somehow survived, and because of the relief, I wet myself. However, perhaps it’s better than people thinking that I wet myself out of fear.
…Just this feeling was rather perplexing.
It was at that moment.
“Do-hee.”
Sua approached at that exact moment.
With Sua and Do-hee being talked about all over, the encounter was enough to draw eyes.
Sua continued as everyone watched.
“I was curious all along. What exactly was Do-hee’s hidden trump card she had prepared?”
“….”
Park Do-hee’s face turned slightly pale.
What are you aiming for with these questions?
But Sua seemed to have no intention of stopping.
“I even thought about if it might be biting again, but I mentally prepared to accept it since we’re in the business of creating good scenes. However, you prepared something like this.”
“….”
“An artful move that doesn’t harm the opponent or oneself. I will take note of it. Let’s work well together from now on.”
“….”
Sua was genuinely impressed.
Compared to the previous incident of biting her arm, which harmed others, and unlike Sua, who bit her own cheek to produce blood—this was quite a subtle move in every aspect.
After experiencing the script hundreds of times, Sua had never once encountered such a case. It was truly beyond expectation in every aspect.
“….”
Of course, Park Do-hee didn’t have much to say.
It was simply out of fear. That’s all it was.
But on set, a warm (or maybe not so warm?) atmosphere emerged as senior and junior actors elevated each other through their performances, prompting nearby crew members to chime in.
“Exactly. Do-hee’s incontinence made the scene come alive.”
“Look, Do-hee got acknowledgment from Sua.”
What kind of acknowledgment is that? Urine-based?
“Amazing piss performance, Do-hee!”
“Do-hee piss good!”
“….”
Park Do-hee genuinely began to fear Sua.
◈◈◈◈◈
As everything has a beginning, all things have an end.
This was the final scene between Seo Yeon-joo and Kim Sun-il for the day.
S#62
“What do you think? How was your experience with Kim Yu-han?”
Hah Yoon-jin (Seo Yeon-joo) asks Lee Kang-cheol while sitting on a desk. She manages both Lee Kang-cheol and Kim Yu-han, and currently, Lee Kang-cheol is reporting on the details of the arrest.
“Kim Yu-han….”
Lee Kang-cheol found it easy to answer.
Because he just had to blurt out what he felt.
“He’s not just a mad dog; he’s a properly mad dog. He’s out of his mind and needs retraining from one to ten.”
Seo Yeon-joo nodded, as if she had expected as much.
“That’s why I thought. If you dislike him so much, I’ll find a replacement for you.”
Then there was a brief silence.
“Do you mean to offer a choice? Do you want to return to your original department?”
Lee Kang-cheol paused for a moment to think.
Kim Yu-han is surely not of sound mind.
But he possesses an excellent sense and a true passion for catching criminals.
Of course, his approach to handling criminals is rather chaotic, but…
At that moment—the moment when he opted not to kill Lee Ga-ram because of Lee Kang-cheol.
At least Lee Kang-cheol felt certain.
Kim Yu-han truly intended to kill Lee Ga-ram but stepped back, giving him the benefit of the doubt because of Lee Kang-cheol.
Hence, he changed his position.
“…No.”
Lee Kang-cheol said something that even surprised himself.
“On hold. Please put it on hold for now.”
“Okay! Perfect! Filming is over for today!”
Simultaneously, the PD made an announcement over the loudspeaker.
The staff members, regardless, cheered in unison.
It wasn’t just because the day’s work was done.
Today was their first time experiencing such a fruitful shooting.
◈◈◈◈◈
Meanwhile.
There was a man who observed every situation with keen attention.
‘Was this person an actor before?’
A skinny man and the director of a new music project. He was also the head of the ‘Barungil’ gathering—Ko Tae-min.
‘What a coincidence?’
Ko Tae-min had, in fact, noticed Sua from the very beginning.
When her white hair caught the strobe lights, turning alternately red and blue with each reflection, it seemed like she transformed every time, drawing him in.
So, he hoped she was an actor.
He was curious to see what kind of performance someone with such a vivid exterior could deliver. And Ko Tae-min’s hopes seemed to have materialized.
She was probably an actor, it seemed.
But soon, something unexpected happened.
‘She’s not an extra? This scene is between Lee Kang-cheol and Kim Yu-han. Why is she preparing for filming?’
It was hard to comprehend.
The face was attractive after makeup, but the sheer sensuality of the body was something else. A form filled with curves that could entice countless men.
Thus, naturally, he assumed she was just an extra or a minor role—never imagining her as Kim Yu-han.
And, one more thing.
Ko Tae-min, a renowned director, didn’t recognize Sua’s face at all.
Could it be that the lead actor of the much-anticipated special police unit drama 808 was a newcomer? That seemed even more unbelievable.
‘Am I missing something? This is hard to understand.’
However,
Thereafter, when the scene between Kim Sun-il and Sua where they battle for dominance ended.
‘…’
Ko Tae-min’s thoughts completely transformed.
‘Instead, didn’t Kim Sun-il almost falter? What is this?’
Upon reflection, the term “newcomer” felt awkward. Isn’t Kim Sun-il, known for his great popularity and the nickname “Great Trash,” working hard, breaking out in cold sweat?
‘…Apparently there was improvisation not in the script by judging the reactions from around. No, even just watching without knowing anything, that acting was impressive. Is she really a newcomer? Where has she been hiding?’
Ko Tae-min quickly approached Lee Geum-sook.
“Excuse me, Director. Can I ask you something?”
“Ah, Director Ko Tae-min. What is it?”
“Who is that white-haired person there? What’s the name?”
“Lee Su-a. The lead actress in our Special Unit 808.”
“Lee Su-a?”
“Yes. Lee Su-a.”
“Lee Su-a? I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere…Lee Su-a…”
It was strange.
She was definitely a newcomer, yet Ko Tae-min felt like he had heard the name before. But searching the internet, there was no profile of an actress named Su-a.
What? Where did I hear it?
Just then,
“…!”
Something struck Ko Tae-min’s mind.
It was from the conversations about the ‘Barungil’ meeting some time ago.
“Ahh, Park Jun! Isn’t she the actor who saved Director Park Jun?”
The one who pulled Director Park Jun’s short-lived film ‘Sword’ from the depths of despair and exposed another renowned actor Kim Jun-ki’s fall from grace!
Ko Tae-min finally pieced it all together.
“Ah, I see. That’s Su-a. That person is Su-a.”
Skinny figure.
The previously sunken eyes began to gleam.
“…By any chance, does she possess any talent for music-related acting?”
